Flights and military follow their tracked aircraft with an
entityFollowTarget: framed in ENU from viewFrom, never closer than
150 m, presentation read from the drawn entity's record. Satellites
follow in Cesium's autodetect frame. The layers' own framing
(applyTrackedCameraFrame) goes; the port's follow has the same
close-range rules, and trackedCamera.js no longer imports Cesium.
The port's helper entity draws nothing: its point's outline is
transparent too, and click and voice picks of it count as picks of
the target's drawn entity. The fake camera binder follows when the
fake has Cesium's entity tracking.
Aircraft draw from GPU icon sets, so the billboard mirror, the billboard
treatment and the aircraft visual-state module had no callers left. 3D models
are now records the layer holds under the contact's id (modelRecord.js):
show and placement are written through showModel/placeModel and read back
from the record; renderer-measured values stay on record.model.
The tracked-model click check only matches when a tracked model exists, so
an id-only pick is never mistaken for a click on the tracked plane.
Every flight is now a row in the layer's icon set. Its motion segment
follows the same regime `_deadReckon` picks (interpolate between fixes,
warm up backward from the oldest, coast forward from the newest), and
one shared `_motionRegime` makes that choice for both. The shader moves
every untracked contact between polls, so the 12 Hz fleet tick no
longer touches each billboard. It now only re-plans expired rows,
floors grounded contacts, advances focus while needed, and runs the 3D
model regime.
Grounded contacts the floor lifts are pinned to a hold at the floored
position. Their nose glides on the GPU. Contacts within 50 km re-floor
every tick, and farther ones take turns about once a second. Low
contacts are judged for the horizon at no lower than 12 m above the
ellipsoid, as before. Below hover speed a contact's nose holds. A row
whose fleet model is drawn keeps its focus updated, because the model
reads it. Untracking re-plans and re-floors the icon from the tracked
course.
On the same views with about 6,700 OpenSky flights, frame gaps at p95
drop from 28-40 ms to 17 ms, and the fleet tick from 16-37 ms to about
2 ms at most.
Flights, military, satellites, installations, local ADS-B and ALPR hung
gevTrackedId, gevDisplayPosition, gevVisualPosition, gevSelectionOrigin and
gevLabelModel on the Cesium entities they draw, and the tracked readout,
follow camera, cockpit, share links and awareness read them back. They now
live in src/data/entityRecords.js, a Core-owned record per entity: layers
write entityRecord(entity), readers use readEntityRecord(entity). Nothing
changes on screen. This is the first slice of the renderer plan's state
mirror (P1).
The module is exported as ./data/entity-records so hosted code can read the
same records, and window.__godsEyeView.entityRecords gives the QA scripts
the same access from the page.
Review on #856 (kvnloo): the analyst projection flattened a 7700 squawk and
the readsb ADS-B emergency field into the same emergency/emergencyKind pair.
- mapAnalystRecord (flights, military) adds emergencySource ('squawk' |
'ads-b' | null, from aircraftEmergency().source), emergencyBroadcast (new
pure emergencyBroadcastPhrase: "broadcasting squawk 7700 (general
emergency)" vs "ADS-B reports general emergency") and observedAtMs (the
record's lastContactEpochMs: last transponder message, epoch ms).
- emergencySource is a queryable analyst text field; the voice payload passes
it and emergencyBroadcast through, and observedAtMs only for aircraft with
a status. Tool description asks the model to narrate with the phrase.
- Source-to-analyst fixture test: OpenSky 7700 vs adsb.lol emergency=general
on squawk 1200 differ in provenance and timestamp; filterable by source.
- Voice tool-payload pins re-derived for the additive description change.

- aircraftEmergency: `source` is 'squawk' only when the Mode A code itself
names the status; the Cockpit HUD no longer quotes an unrelated squawk
(e.g. SQUAWK 1200 on an ADS-B `downed` status).
- military: new billboards and the untrack restore use the fleet tint, so an
emergency stays red instead of snapping back to amber; tint helpers take the
record already in hand instead of a second lookup.
- cockpit/cyber CSS: emergency colour via a custom property / theme token,
meta line bolded so the status does not rely on colour alone in the HUD.
- tests: revert Prettier churn in unscoped test files; only semantic edits.
- docs/CURRENT-STATE.md: transponder emergency highlighting section.
- qa-emergency-squawk: (iv) RELEASE check; new files added to format scope.

Flights and Military Flights tint aircraft red while the latest poll
carries squawk 7500/7600/7700 or an adsb.lol ADS-B emergency status
(general/unlawful/nordo/downed). Minimum-fuel and lifeguard priorities
are reported but not tinted. The Cockpit HUD aircraft-meta line names
the broadcast code in red. The status is not sticky: a cleared code
stops highlighting on the next refresh.
The analyst/voice query engine gains squawk, emergency and
emergencyKind fields. No new source or request: OpenSky state vectors
already carry the squawk and adsb.lol/readsb carries both fields.

The fleet draws a grounded contact at its delayed position lifted onto the floor under it, but a new billboard was created at the delayed position without that lift. A taxiing aircraft whose reported fix sat lower than the ground under its delayed position started on the fix's floor and then rose on the next fleet tick. Creation now applies the same floor the fleet pass does.
The fleet renders behind real time, so a newly seen aircraft is displayed at its fix projected back to that delayed time. Its billboard was created at the raw fix instead, so it appeared ahead of where the next fleet tick put it and then jumped back about one render delay of travel before moving forward.
The flight, military and vessel feeds were named after the providers the
bundled server uses (/api/opensky, /api/adsblol/mil, /api/ais-live and
their track routes; createOpenSkySource, createAdsbLolSource,
createAisStreamSource). Any server should be able to answer a feed from
its own provider, so the feeds are now:
/api/flights /api/flights/track?icao24=
/api/military /api/military/track?hex=
/api/vessels /api/vessels/track?mmsi=
with createFlightSource, createMilitarySource and createVesselSource. The
old routes are removed. Each server names its provider in X-Feed-Source
(the bundled server sends OpenSky Network, adsb.lol and AISStream, so its
attribution is unchanged) and the military feed's cache state and age in
X-Feed-Cache and X-Feed-Age-Ms. Sources report the provider the server
names and fall back to the feed's name.
`mapAnalystRecord` has always published `verticalRateMps`, but the tracked
seam — `getTrackedInfo()` / `getTrackedSubject()`, built by `_describeFlight`
— did not, so anything needing climb/descent had to reach past the public
descriptor into the raw poll record.
Both layers now map it, which matters because they store it under different
keys: the civil records write `verticalRate` (records.js), the military ones
write `verticalRateMps`. Mapping only one would leave
`resolveTrackedAircraftInfo()` handing back two different shapes, and a
consumer reading the field off a civil contact would silently read every
military contact as level flight.
Reported, never derived. `stickyNumber` seeds the field with null, so an
aircraft that has not transmitted a rate publishes null rather than a
level-flight 0 — absent is not level, and a flight-phase classifier that
cannot tell them apart calls a climbing aircraft cruise.
Tests: both layers, both halves (a reported rate arrives with its sign; an
absent one stays null). Mutation-verified — removing either field or
defaulting it to 0 turns them red.
`docs/CURRENT-STATE.md` records the descriptor field, the two record keys it
reconciles, and the reported-never-derived rule.
The first formal release.
- One-click install via Pinokio; keyless boot lands on a live Esri World
Imagery satellite globe with keyless terrain, with automatic OSM fallback
and graceful degradation when terrain is unavailable.
- Provider Settings (the POWER UP panel): add, replace, or remove API keys
inside the app; credential files made owner-only before any secret is
written; external keys shown read-only; the panel refuses shared or proxied
servers.
- Keyless capability responses for the optional HUD summary and place search.
- Aircraft-identity voice answers cover operator, type, and route, and say so
plainly when enrichment is unavailable.
- README rewritten keyless-first; concise 0.1.0 changelog section; CI
workflow included.
Gates: 2,672 unit tests pass / 0 fail, build clean, tracking regression
108/108, map-source tray QA pass, setup doctor ready.
