Review follow-up for the sonar pulses (the non-blocking items).
Unpickable pulses: the three pulse lines were polyline entities, which
Cesium always picks, so near-miss and touch picks around them became
unowned hits. They are now drawn by the pulse disc's shader, which
already drew the gradient and is built with allowPicking false. Each
line keeps the polyline outline material's look: 3 CSS px wide with a
1 px dark outline in the ring's colours, measured from the screen-space
gradient of the disc's radius times czm_pixelRatio, as Cesium's contour
material does. Without derivatives only the gradient band is drawn.
Disc follow: with the lines on the disc, it is rebuilt after the subject
moves 500 m instead of 2 km, so the pulses stay concentric with the
ring. A resting disc is hidden and not rebuilt; it catches up when the
pulses wake.
Camera below the disc: the disc sits 2.5 km above the ellipsoid with
faceForward, so from a lower camera it swept across the sky. It is now
hidden while the camera is below that height.
Echo palette: echo brackets keep the pulse blue on the default
detection style and take the style's line colour under NVG, FLIR and
CRT.
Echo test: the detection renderer's echo maths moves into
awarenessEchoBracket and awarenessEchoColor in src/awarenessEcho.js,
tested directly instead of running a regex slice of detection.js
through vm, and the one-sided spread assert is now two-sided.
The positions reuse parameter of awarenessRangeRingPositions and the
pulse segment count had no callers left and are removed.
From review:
- Card lines the actions write in English (area basis, part counts, merged
duplicates, OSM caveats, the imagery window) are shown in the UI
language through the analyst card's note path; the model still gets the
English. One OSM place reads "1 hospital".
- Same-named clarification choices show their region code (WA, DC).
- OSM Places shows as unavailable once the server says no Overpass is
configured, and its points are depth-tested past 2.5 km so they never
show through the globe.
- find_imagery puts the operator's sources and mode back when a box is
refused, and a voice search cancelled mid-flight leaves "Search
cancelled" instead of an empty strip.
- The README lists OSM Places with the other Utilities.
From review:
- The browser client for /api/osm/features gets its own tests (request
shape, abort, network failure, coded refusals), and a 200 whose body is
not JSON is now a failure instead of zero places.
- An end-to-end test runs resolve_area, osm_query and an analyst follow-up
through the real runner and checks the follow-up keeps the area; it fails
with the wiring reverted.
- The Realtime token test pins Overpass off and compares the full tool
schemas again instead of names taken from the environment.
From review: a row inside a large area pays a ray cast over every edge, so
20,000 rows against a 6,000-vertex outline made ~200 ms long tasks. The scan
now also yields once ~8 ms have passed, checked every 256 rows. An ambiguous
region refusal also tells the model the way back: resolve_area with the
picked candidateId, then analyst_query over that area.
From review:
- An answer the view picked ("Springfield" over Illinois) is reused or
shared only within the same ~2° view cell, so asking again elsewhere no
longer gets the first state's area.
- Admin names compare with accents folded on Latin letters only: "Quebec"
matches "Québec" and "Cordoba" asks between Argentina and Spain, while a
Thai or Devanagari mark still tells names apart.
- A Natural Earth name used by several features is one place with every
part when they touch (the Great Rift Valley, the Lau Group across 180°)
and a question when they are far apart (Flores); natural places can now
be candidates.
- The AREAS rule and the area tool descriptions are tighter, leaving a
~270-character margin under the 55,500 prompt ceiling, and resolve_area
no longer names osm_query when that tool is not offered.
From review:
- /api/osm/features now refuses cross-site browser requests like the other
quota-bearing routes, so a page elsewhere cannot spend the operator's
Overpass. SECURITY.md lists the route, its limits and its disk cache.
- One client runs one search at a time and two run at once in all, instead
of one global slot any single client could hold.
- A search gets 45 s across every configured endpoint in turn, answered 504
when it runs out.
- A cache write no longer waits on the disk prune; prune() waits until the
cache is idle for callers that need it.
Cesium zooms a shallow view out by backing along the cursor ray with
heading and pitch held fixed, and GEV set no zoom ceiling. Past ~700 km
the limb drops below the fixed pitch, the steps grow with height, and
the camera flies off into space.
Cap user zoom at 40,000 km (whole-Earth view; flights are not limited)
and, above 300 km during a user wheel, pinch or right-drag zoom-out,
ease the pitch down to at least 8 degrees below the Earth's limb. The
clamp yields to disabled inputs, tracked transforms and camera flights.
Review follow-up for the sonar pulses.
Bounded repaint: the pulses used to ask for a frame every 80 ms from a
setInterval for as long as a subject was shown, so a parked view
repainted at 12.5 fps indefinitely. They now run for 9 s (three ring
flashes) after a selection or a camera move, fading in and out over
1.2 s, then rest: the ring stands on screen at full strength, the pulse
lines and gradient disc are hidden, echoes stop, and nothing asks for
frames. A moving subject does not wake them, since a flying subject
moves on every refresh. The lifecycle's existing camera pose signature
wakes them.
No beat with the Cyber sonar: the setInterval is replaced by a
postRender-armed setTimeout on CYBER_SONAR_RENDER_INTERVAL_MS, as in
cyberSonarScene. Every drawn frame, whoever asked for it, re-arms the
request 80 ms later, so requests never land inside the detection
lane's 80 ms gate.
Reduced motion mid-session: a change listener on the media query
rebuilds the visual, and the same-subject refresh path rebuilds when
the preference no longer matches. The listener is removed in
clearVisual.
Readable edge: restOpacity goes from 0 to 0.4, so the 250 km ring stays
visible between flashes, in screenshots and for low-vision viewers.
The echo field takes an optional level so echoes rest with the pulses.
CURRENT-STATE and the changelog fragment describe the bounded run and
the dimmed ring.
Tests: render requests stop after the bound and stay stopped for a
minute; a camera move seen by the lifecycle wakes them for another
bounded run; a foreign frame postpones the next request to 80 ms after
it; reduced motion flipped by event and by a later refresh; the ring
never drops below restOpacity; echoes scale with the level; the level
fades in, holds, fades out and keeps its value when woken.
A radius the user gives always draws a buffer, but the enclosing outline
was still looked up first (up to 6 s and a guarded Nominatim request) and
then thrown away. It is no longer requested. The slow-outline test now
checks the default 250 m fallback it was meant to cover.
The outline rungs recorded only the credit kind, so the voice area code
never saw 'openfreemap' or 'nominatim' and stored every such outline as
the Overpass rung, even with no Overpass configured. Voice geometry tagged
the source originally; the merge with main kept main's untagged rungs and
its test pinning the absence. The tag is restored and the test now asserts
it for both sources.
Three resolver fixes from checking the review focus:
- A natural region named like a country or state no longer hides it.
"India" was the peninsula, "Japan" an island group, "Florida" the
peninsula and "Punjab" a desert, so bare "Punjab" never asked which one.
The region still answers when asked for by level, and when no unit truly
has the name ("Great Britain" finds the United Kingdom only by alias).
- Same-named units get their own candidate: "Washington" offered WA and DC
with one id, so either choice was DC and a DC lookup overwrote a stored
Washington State. Ids now carry the region code, and choices show it.
- A bundled unit that only shares the name ("Azad Kashmir" for "Kashmir")
no longer ends the search; the outline ladder still looks, and the
mismatch is kept if it finds nothing. Retired zones stay refused.
The /api/osm/features cache key was the query alone, kept for a day, so after
an operator repointed OVERPASS_UPSTREAMS the old instance's answers were still
served. The key now includes the configured-upstream tag, as main's other
Overpass caches check it, so a new instance is always asked.
osm_query handed its places to the analyst with no presentation, so "which of
those have emergency?" after "hospitals in Kathmandu" was answered as "anywhere
in the loaded data". The handoff now carries the scope the places were found
in ("inside Kathmandu" with its areaId, or "in view"), as an analyst count over
that area would.
Every name ending in "Zone" was kept without a level and refused as a retired
administrative identity. That is right for Nepal, which replaced its zones in
2015, but zones are current units elsewhere: Ethiopia's "Gamo Zone" was
refused. The selector now keeps the verified level unless display_name places
the zone in Nepal or names no country, and the client no longer reads "Zone"
as a retired level when the source verified one.
The cancelled and failed branches ran before the say-line branch, so a
cancelled panel change no longer said "Cockpit exited; the voice panel was
left as you last set it", and AREA_TIMEOUT / OSM_TIMEOUT got "tell the user it
failed" instead of the tool description's "retry once". A cancelled or failed
result with a say line now has it spoken, and those two timeouts are retried
once. Both providers share this instruction.
Picks up the Radio Next/Previous fix (#1474) and the Codespaces docs
(#1515). The one conflict is the Radio cycle assertion in
gevActions.test.mjs: main's new fallback flag is kept in this branch's
layout.
Pulses: three dim rings grow from the Global Context subject to the
250 km range ring at constant speed, one every 3 s, each taking 9 s.
Each fades in over its first 8% of travel, then fades as
(1 - travel)^1.5 to about a third of its 60% peak, so it arrives at the
ring dim but visible. They are 3 px in the ring's colours, as polylines
with CallbackProperty positions and colours that share the ring's
centre object, so they follow a moving subject.
Ring: while pulses run, the 250 km ring rests unseen and flashes to full
strength as each pulse reaches it, fading over 1.8 s. Without pulses
(reduced motion, or a scene with no primitives or preRender hook) it
stays on screen as before.
Gradient: behind each pulse a radial band in the same blue fades inward
over 35% of the radius. One flat, translucent, unpickable 250 km disc
draws it with a small Fabric material. A preRender listener writes the
pulse radii and opacities into two vec4 uniforms each frame. The disc
(0.25 degree granularity, ~3.5 ms to build) is rebuilt only after the
subject moves 2 km.
Echoes: as a pulse front crosses a flight, military aircraft or AIS
vessel, the detection overlay draws a second bracket in the pulse blue
around that contact's own bracket, spreading outward as it fades over
1.4 s. Awareness publishes the field (centre, radius, pulse timing,
echo styling) through the new src/awarenessEcho.js. The overlay reads
it, so no layer's icon or colour is touched. Mapped installations have
no detection bracket, so they do not echo.
Rendering cost: pulses never hold continuous rendering. They ask for a
frame every 80 ms, the Cyber sonar's parked cadence, so a parked
Contacts view repaints at ~12.5 fps while a subject is shown. This
changes the "parked Contacts stays quiet" behaviour on purpose.
clearVisual stops the timer and removes the disc, the listener and the
echo field.
awarenessRangeRingPositions can now reuse a result array, and passes the
WGS84 ellipsoid explicitly so a reused Cartesian never lands in the
ellipsoid argument. Tuning lives in AWARENESS_RANGE_PULSE,
AWARENESS_RANGE_ECHO and AWARENESS_RANGE_RING_STYLE. src/awarenessEcho.js
is registered in the awareness-layer, application-components and
application-layer-construction packages.
Tests cover:
- the pulse curve and calm rate;
- the ring flash once per arrival, and the static ring without pulses;
- the 80 ms frame cadence and its stop;
- the partial-scene fallback;
- the gradient disc: unpickable, uniform values, rebuild and cleanup;
- per-frame evaluation, and the echo field following the subject;
- awarenessEcho strength, rim wrap, layer filter and altitude handling;
- the detection renderer's echo-bracket band and outward spread.
The Global Context range ring was a Cesium ellipse outline at 1 px in
rgba(98,181,255,0.72). WebGL ignores larger ellipse outline widths, so it
could not be thickened, and it vanished over desert and snow and under the
FLIR, NVG and CRT styles.
Draw it as a polyline instead: a 4 px line with a 2 px Context-blue core
inside a 1 px dark halo on each side (PolylineOutlineMaterialProperty).
The halo gives luminance contrast on light and dark ground, which the
monochrome styles keep. The ring sits at the same 2.5 km height and
follows the subject on the same 250 m threshold. Positions come from a
new awarenessRangeRingPositions helper that stays within 50 m of 250 km.
Style values live in AWARENESS_RANGE_RING_STYLE (awareness/policy.js).
Adds rangeRing.test.mjs (geometry at equator, Sahara, Greenland and the
antimeridian; contrast; entity shape; follow threshold) and a
CURRENT-STATE note.
One provenanceLine() builds STATE | text | LAYERS for the HUD and
get_hud_caption. hasWord is one lookaround regex, capAtWord one grapheme
pass. Feed-state helpers are imported from layerSnapshot.js directly, and the
kept-whole sanitizer cases are one table.
A dial click shorter than the device start-up let suspend() run on a still-suspended context, so the later resume() left it running with no nodes. Cover paused, connecting and voice-fallback releases in radioNextState tests.
"Over {area}" put a country name straight after a preposition, which drops
the article Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and German need ("Sopra Italia",
"Über Schweiz"). Use the label form French and the "In {area}" line already
use. zh-Hant now says 服務器 like the rest of its catalog.
- keep inserted place names clear of prepositions and articles they
would need in fr, pt, ru and uk
- use each catalog's own terms: punto de interés, trazar contorno,
Buscando, 加載/匹配/搜索 and full-width colons in ja
- list the Italian "Area" as intentionally the same as English
- strip control and format characters from OSM tag values, keeping the
zero-width (non-)joiners Persian and Indic names spell with, and cut
them at 120 code points so a name cannot steer or flood the model
- adopt the nine new geometry test files in format-scope.json; five of
them change by formatting only
Both stack parents (#837, #842) are on main, so the voice geometry branch
now builds on main directly. Conflict resolutions keep main's behaviour and
add the geometry work on top: osm_query gating on every provider, restored
admin identity for Nominatim outlines, merged analyst follow-up memory, and
the cancelled Globe View reset instruction ahead of the generic cancellation.
Resolve the CURRENT-STATE.md layer table by keeping main's realigned
table and adding this layer's row. Main added an Arabic locale, so
translate the 12 layer strings and list ar.json in the drone-airspace
package.
A building word ending the ask ('… Chapel', '… Library', '… Hall') now
passes the last-word rule only when the result is one a building ask
would accept, so a campus, zoo or district whose name merely starts the
ask (Duke University, Old Town) no longer answers it.
- A building word ("Burj Khalifa Tower", "Sagrada Familia Church") passes
the last-word rule on a building-like result; enclosures stay out.
- The anchor chooses only among the best-named outlines, so a worse name
never wins by containment alone.
- An ask without a quadrant takes only the quadrant of the matching street
nearest the point; a leading quadrant ("SE Main St") may go unsaid too.
- On an unbuffered tile edge a fragment shows as an edge along the
boundary, so a whole building touching it at a corner is not cut.
- Drop two orphaned comments and correct the place-name key wording.
Opening Utilities while Data Layers is open no longer forgets that Contact
was folded for the first, and closing one of them leaves Contact folded
while the other is still open. Enter and Esc in a drawn shape's name keep
focus in the field instead of dropping it to the page. The draw tool's
destroy test now checks it stops following the board, and the Draw gate's
amber-count comment sits on its function again.
- One place-name key for server and tiles, so "St. Paul" and "Saint Paul"
agree in Nominatim name checks.
- Tile street names: a lone letter is a direction only beside another name
word ("E Street" is not "East Street"), and a trailing quadrant ("E St NW")
may go unsaid in the ask.
- A building cut at the tile edge that is nearer the point than any whole
one leaves the point instead of a farther neighbour standing in; an edge
without a tile buffer counts as a cut, so a cut area never answers grounds.
- A batch building install re-judges only results that installed; a late
timeout during caption conversion keeps the pending point drawn; a failed
plain recaption keeps the old mark addressable.
- An interrupted Nominatim dispatch is reclaimed by the next lock owner ten
minutes after the start its marker names; node:sqlite loads on first use
without its experimental warning.
- PHOTON_URL accepts only https, which the page's connect-src allows.
- Shared OpenFreeMap tiles decode each layer when a consumer first selects
it; outline selection reuses the shared ring area and simplification, and
ground probes the shared ring centroid; the grounds word list lives once.
Utilities stays in Cockpit for Directions, but only Data Layers folded the
Cockpit context rail away when opened, set its top below the open panel and
took Cyber's Cockpit size. Utilities now does all three, and Contact
expanding closes it as it closes Data Layers.
Draw and Import used to be reachable by voice through DISPLAY. set_panel_open
now takes 'utilities-panel', and "utilities", "draw", "drawing" and "import"
reach it. This adds one value to the Realtime tool schema, so the pinned
payload digest, enum list and serialized length are re-derived with a note.
The show_data_layers_menu test now finds a row only inside the list that
really holds it, so dropping #utilities-toggles from the lookup fails it.
Answers the review of bdbbc3d7 and the IC8 pass after it.
A shape hidden from Draw's list was only set to alpha 0, so the line's
flowing stroke, which keeps its own colour, stayed painted. Now:
- the world renderer's sync() sets every entity of a hidden mark to
show = false, and FlowMaterialProperty follows the mark's alpha;
- the screen renderer does not project a hidden callout, so it is not drawn
and cannot push a visible label aside;
- hiding acts at once, even before a mark's first frame, and with every
mark hidden the annotations render hold is released after one last frame;
- fly_route skips a hidden route.
Hand-drawn shapes are never merged as duplicates: every one is drawn on
purpose and unnamed until its row names it, so a second pin dropped near
the first was dropped, or replaced the first when its colour differed. A
restyle the renderer cannot draw now also syncs the renderer.
Tests cover each: renderer show/hide and flow alpha, the screen skip, the
render hold and its last frame, a show with no fade-in, hidden routes, two
nearby pins, and the restyle rollback.
main moved the panels to Vue views and a one-open-panel rail, and removed
the two templates this branch edited. This merge carries the branch onto
that architecture; it adds no behaviour of its own beyond the port.
- The Utilities panel is a RailPanel in LayerPanelsView with its own rail
item (handyman). LayerPanel renders the Directions rows into its list with
LayerRows, and falls back to Data Layers without it.
- Draw leaves DisplayPanel for DrawControls, DrawMarkList and DrawSwatches,
which render what the draw tool publishes to the display store and call
its actions, as GeoImport does. drawMarks.js words the rows; the DOM-built
drawMarkList.js is gone. A row's fly-to is an immediate navigation like
Import's ('drawing' gets its Cockpit refusal), the name field keeps a
draft through v-field-value, and the colours are one radio group with a
single tab stop.
- UiSegmented draws an option's icon, named by its label, for the shape
buttons.
- The catalogs take main's languages with this branch's strings, Arabic
included, and the tests follow the views to their new homes.
A street ribbon that holds neither its ring mean nor the anchor is centred
on the street's nearest point when the street runs within 100 m.
Nominatim outline selection ranks an exact name, then one holding every
asked word, then an overlap, and refuses an overlap whose name lacks the
ask's last word unless that word is in the result's address or type, so
"Central Park Zoo" is no longer Central Park. The server caches every
accepted outline and answers each ask with the one holding its resolved
anchor (sent as alat/alon), read across the antimeridian.
A duplicate mark that fails to clean up no longer tears down the new
outline it duplicates.
