The cost-bearing endpoints (/api/realtime/token, /api/openai/hud-summary,
/api/google/nearby-places) and the voice debug log refuse cross-site browser
requests: a foreign or opaque Origin, a Sec-Fetch-Site other than
same-origin/none, or proxy forwarding headers. Loopback tools without an
Origin and the LAN opt-in keep working. The dev and preview servers send one
shared Content-Security-Policy, and embed-mode framing rewrites only the
frame-ancestors directive of it.

Cesium's script sets CESIUM_WORKERS itself when it loads, so the panel's
combined workers script was never used, and neither was the embedded
terrain-heights file: the worker still requested it from the panel
page's site. The panel build now writes only the prelude, and the panel
puts it ahead of whatever Cesium assigns to CESIUM_WORKERS. The separate
esbuild bundle of Cesium's workers is gone.
The ground-polyline worker loads approximateTerrainHeights.json itself,
and a worker's requests go to the panel page's own site, where they
failed with 404 and stopped rendering once ground-clamped lines such as
military installations appeared. The panel build now embeds that file in
the workers script, which answers the worker's request from memory.
Hosts serve panels from their own sites and may refuse other addresses;
Codex refuses any address on the user's machine. The panel now never
requests the app's server: it loads the app's panel build and data
through panel_request, a tool only the panel may call, which requests
the path from the app's server. One path in every host; only map
providers load directly.
npm run build:panel writes the panel build to dist/panel, served at
/panel/: one app script, one stylesheet, Cesium's script, and Cesium's
workers as one script Cesium runs from memory. Tools may now be marked
app-only. The panel CORS rules are gone.
show_on_globe replaces open_in_gods_eye_view and names an MCP Apps view, a
ui:// panel that loads the app in embed mode and posts each later view to it,
so the globe in the conversation changes without reloading. It also takes a
view another answer returned. Tools can declare a UI resource, and the MCP
adapter serves resources/list and resources/read and lists each tool's
resource in _meta.ui.resourceUri.
?embed=1 shows the globe alone: clean view with the HUD, panels, welcome and
setup prompts hidden, and provider attribution kept. The page that frames it
sends views with postMessage; the app applies each through its own actions
and reports every step. Annotations in any link are drawn once it restores.
Only embed-mode documents may be framed; every other page keeps
X-Frame-Options DENY and frame-ancestors 'none', and
GEV_EMBED_FRAME_ANCESTORS can restrict who frames them.
Tool answers with something to show now include data.view: the view with
the matching layers on, the area framed from above or a single aircraft or
satellite followed, and the link that opens it. Area framing moves to
src/tools/views.js so links and answers frame alike.
A view is a camera, data layers, visual style, map imagery and an aircraft,
military aircraft or satellite to follow, written in the share-link format
the app already restores. gods-eye-view/view builds, encodes and decodes one,
and share links take their style names from it. open_in_gods_eye_view now
builds its link from a full view: an area or camera, layers, style, map and
something to follow.
Brief sections received a named place as its bounding box, so they centered
on the box's middle: Tokyo's aircraft were sorted from a point in the
Pacific. Sections now receive the place name and resolve it like a direct
query, and place lookups are cached briefly so a brief resolves it once.
The caption request declared every answered section nominal, so a stale
aircraft snapshot reached the caption as live. Each section now reports
stale or unavailable from its own result, and the provenance envelope is
built with the app's feedProvenanceEnvelope.
get_transit_vehicles returned positions from a feed the proxy served from
its error cache, and hour-old fixes, as current. It now applies the transit
layer's rules: a feed is stale when the proxy says so or the operator has
not answered recently, and fixes older than the vehicle limit are dropped
and counted.
Reworks #568 to the shape asked for in review.
Generalized from "AQHI" to a provider-backed Air quality layer, with ECCC's
AQHI as the first registered provider. Readings are carried as
{ provider, scale, value, band } rather than a bare number, because
air-quality indices are not interchangeable: AQHI runs 1-10+ on health risk,
the US AQI runs 0-500 on concentration breakpoints, and Europe's EAQI is a
five-step category. Naming the index a value belongs to is what lets another
network be added without inventing a shared numeric meaning. Coverage is
stated as "Canada only" on the provider, the layer row and the card.
Adds the WEATHER panel readout (readout: true) carrying the band legend and
the worst readings currently in view, with getRowControls/setRowControlsListener
following the wind and cyclone cards. An unresolvable view rectangle degrades
to the worst readings overall rather than to a blank card, and a rectangle
crossing the antimeridian is handled.
update() now takes the earthquakes layer's abort-and-guard shape: it aborts any
in-flight request, passes the signal through to the source, and refuses to
touch the scene when the request was superseded, aborted, or the layer was
disabled while it was outstanding. disable() and destroy() abort too. Tests
cover the late-response, superseded-refresh and disabled-update paths.
Rebased on main: the source is registered in src/sources/reference.js, and the
allocation profile was re-measured against the current worker — median 3,900
B/frame, max 4,114, 85.7 B/candidate, inside the shared 154 ceiling, budgeted
at 5,200 for 26% headroom. The earlier figures no longer held.
Freshness is now judged on the observation time rather than on when the last
response arrived. lastUpdate only says the feed answered; a station that keeps
returning a reading from four hours ago would otherwise be narrated as live by
the HUD and the voice provenance envelope. getStats() reports observedAt and
stale, so layerFeedState() calls the layer stale past two missed hourly
publications, and degraded when a refresh fails over readings that are still
good.
The share-link token is 0, which is what layer-token:next allocates. Taking it
moves the ledger fixtures that had hard-coded 0 as the free digit and 3 as the
one after; those shift to 3 and 4. The pinned equality between the reservation
ledger and LEGACY_LAYER_STATE_TOKENS also had to become "the closed legacy set
plus air-quality", since that set is documented as never growing. Happy to
re-pin this differently if you would rather the fixtures derive the provisional
digits from nextLayerStateToken() so the next layer does not move them again.
The layer and its source are registered as ./layers/air-quality and
./layers/air-quality/source, each with its own boundary group, following the
perimeters pair. check:boundaries requires the package exports and the group
exports to be the same set, so a layer that ships a source needs both.
One add/add conflict, in scripts/format-scope.json: upstream's twelve new
entries and this branch's two. Both kept — 866 entries on main, 868 here,
none dropped.
Gates on the result: npm test 5397 passing, build, test:track 109/109,
changelog:check, format:check, check:boundaries, layer-token:check.

The raycast challenge on #768 showed bare-earth casting misplacing roads
that are not at grade: lines floated over freeways in trenches and steep
streets (rendered line pixels floating: Austin 8.5%, SF 27.1%, LA 43.8%),
because a ~111 m terrain grid cannot see a 30 m-wide cut or a slope between
its corners.
meshSampler.js samples the rendered Google 3D surface (scene.sampleHeight,
overlays excluded) once per ~11 m cell within 900 m of the camera, nearest
first, in idle time within a 6 ms budget; misses are retried, not latched.
groundCast.refineHeights blends it in, per point along a line:
- mesh up to 3 m above bare earth is the road: follow it, 1 m above;
- higher mesh (canopy, deck, roof): carry the road's offset from bare earth
across from the road samples on both sides (up to 8 points);
- otherwise bare earth + 2 m, as before.
Lines, cones and the marker use it; tiles touched by new samples are
redrawn one per idle slice with the no-blink swap.
Rendered line pixels on the surface / floating, before -> after:
Austin 90.0 -> 95.3% / 8.5 -> 0.7%; SF 69.0 -> 86.4% / 27.1 -> 9.1%;
LA 52.3 -> 91.0% / 43.8 -> 4.0%; Innsbruck 95.0 -> 95.7% / 0.2 -> 0.2%;
Sacramento 80.7 -> 79.3% / 3.8 -> 2.7%; buried lines stay under 1%.
Cones floating in SF 44 -> 5%, buried at LA 59 -> 28%. Main-thread long
tasks added during refinement: at most 134 ms (Austin, densest tile).
Roads on elevated decks are still drawn at ground level under the deck.
Unit tests cover the blend (trench, slope, canopy bridge, deck, bad probe),
the finer cast with meshAt, and the sampler (once per cell, nearest first,
overlays excluded, far cells skipped, misses not latched, idle when off).

From the code review of #768:
- view.js measured the camera's height above ground with globe.getHeight,
but Google 3D hides the globe, so coverage picked its zoom from the
ellipsoidal height. Over a high city (Denver, ~1,600 m) a camera 500 m up
read 2,100 m: coverage stayed at z12/z13, whose tiles are too big to cast,
and lines stayed draped on the roofs. With the globe hidden, the bare-earth
height from the ground caster now answers; coverage re-picks its zoom when
the surface mode changes. Verified in Denver: terrain mode, z14, cast lines.
The core's surface check uses the same helper (and no longer subtracts the
2 m lift from the camera height).
- castTile rebuilt a tile even when no line could be cast (terrain proxy
down, tile too big); it now leaves such tiles as they are.
- The feature gate read Street Level's share token as a literal `0`; it now
takes it from LAYER_STATE_REGISTRY, since a rebase can reassign it.
New view.test.mjs covers the shown-globe, hidden-globe and no-sample cases.

The merge of main (c451478) appended main's new entries directly after
this branch's last entries in scripts/format-scope.json (after
streetLevel/index.test.mjs) and in two groups of
scripts/package-boundaries.json (after app/layers/streetLevel.js), without
the separating comma. Both files stopped parsing, so every CI job failed
at its first JSON read, the "Check adopted formatting" step.
With the commas back, the CI steps pass locally: doctor, format:check,
check:boundaries, layer-token:check against main, npm test (5475 pass),
build, and the Windows job's focused onboarding tests.

src/tools/surfaces.js lists the tools a surface leaves out, and the MCP
server, the voice session's tool list and the browser catalog voice calls
all filter through it. Voice leaves out tools that answer with images, link
to the app, or repeat what its app actions already answer.
The datacenter and dam layers parsed their bundled GeoJSON Lines and
built analyst records inside the Cesium-backed layer module. Move the
data URLs, the line parser, mapAnalystRecord and layerTitle unchanged to
src/sources/infrastructureData.js; the layer module imports them and
still exports mapAnalystRecord. The consumer-build pin lists the new
module.
Add find_alpr_cameras over the layer's OpenStreetMap camera extracts:
cameras in a US or Canadian area of at most 3° per side, nearest first,
with operator, manufacturer and facing direction, and the source's
attribution. Areas outside coverage or too wide are reported.
Add find_submarine_cables over the bundled TeleGeography data: cables
passing through or landing in an area, or matching a name, with landing
points and the dataset's attribution. The local MCP server's fetch reads
the bundled data files a browser would load by URL, and nothing outside
that directory.
Add get_recent_imagery. It searches the recent Harmonized Landsat and
Sentinel-2 catalog for an area, picks the image the layer would show
with the layer's own ranking, and returns it with its date, sensor and
cloud cover, falling back to the VIIRS daily overview.
Add get_weather_map, which returns the latest NOAA radar, satellite or
lightning map over an area as an image, choosing a window the image
route accepts and reporting areas outside the product's coverage, and
get_wind, which samples GFS or IFS wind at a location with the wind
layer's own grid sampling.
open_in_gods_eye_view accepts layers and writes them with the app's own
share-link layer codec, so the link opens with those layers on. Layer
names are limited to the registered layer ids.
layerState.js held both the share-link layer codec and the coordinator
that restores layer choices into the running app and persists them to
browser storage. Move the coordinator, unchanged, to
layerStateCoordinator.js so the codec stays a pure data module that code
outside the browser can use to write share links. The registry stays in
layerState.js, where the token tooling reads it, and the aircraft
barrel re-exports both.
Move the composition of the default tool services from the Node MCP
server into gods-eye-view/tools/services, a portable export. Given a
fetch that resolves the sources' /api paths, it builds the same services
in a browser as on the local MCP server, so other surfaces can compose
the same catalog. Queries still read only their services.
Mount the local MCP server at /mcp on the development and preview
servers for clients that connect by URL. The route accepts only
requests from this machine that name a loopback host and, when an
Origin is sent, come from a loopback origin, and drains oversized
bodies so the 413 response is delivered. The provider-order regression
test now pins the route between the providers and the API fallback.
Add open_in_gods_eye_view. It builds a version 2 share link looking
straight down on an area, with altitude chosen from the area's size, on
the app address the application supplies.
Add vessels_in_area, find_vessel and get_vessel_track over the live
vessel source, and a ships section in situation_brief. Without an AIS
key the source's own message reaches clients as an unavailable feed.
Add get_weather, get_regional_brief, get_cyclones, get_fire_perimeters,
get_terrain_height, find_military_installations and get_map_features
over the application request services and the layers' sources.
situation_brief combines weather, earthquakes, fires, aircraft and
cyclones for an area by reusing those tools, marking sections that are
unavailable instead of failing. get_hud_caption returns the app's
heads-up display caption for the same overview.
Add get_bike_share over the public GBFS systems and get_transit_vehicles
over the GTFS-Realtime feeds. Each finds the systems or feeds whose
coverage reaches the area, reads up to three, and reports any that were
unavailable instead of failing the whole answer. Transit results carry
each feed's attribution and license.
Add getFeeds() to the transit source. It reads the public catalog route
the server already serves, so code outside the layer can find feeds
near a location without loading the layer.
The bike-share layer parsed station documents inside its model factory.
Move the parsers unchanged to src/sources/gbfsStations.js and have the
model import them, so code outside the layer can read GBFS stations
without constructing the layer.
Add search_places and places_nearby over the app's Google Places routes,
and plan_route over its OpenStreetMap routing. The place search service
reports when no search key is configured, so an unconfigured server is
not mistaken for an empty result, and rate limits become retry_later.
Route endpoints accept a place name or coordinates.
Add find_cctv_cameras, get_cctv_snapshot and find_radio_stations. A
snapshot returns the camera's current frame as image content with its
credit. Tool results may now carry base64 images, which the MCP adapter
sends as image content.
Add aircraft_in_area, find_aircraft, get_aircraft_track and
get_aircraft_info over the live aircraft sources, with an optional
military feed, and next_satellite_pass and satellites_overhead over the
satellite catalog and the existing pass predictor.
Source failures from the live contract now become tool errors with the
matching code, so a rate limit reaches clients as retry_later with a
wait time. Tool schemas may use pattern.
The satellites layer parsed catalog text inside its Cesium-backed orbit
owner. Move the parser unchanged to src/sources/tle.js, add a catalog
number helper, and have the layer delegate to it so code outside the
layer can read TLE text without loading rendering.
Define tools that answer questions from the app's data once, independent
of the surface that exposes them. A tool declares its arguments and the
services it reads; applications compose tools with their own services and
optional call interceptors. Queries reuse the layers' portable source
factories, so they run wherever an application routes /api requests.
The first queries are get_earthquakes, get_active_fires and
get_recent_launches, with a shared area argument (place name, bounding
box, or point and radius) and capped lists.
gods-eye-view/tools/mcp adapts a catalog to the Model Context Protocol
with a small JSON-RPC handler and a stateless HTTP transport, adding no
dependencies. npm run mcp serves Core's tools over stdio to local clients
such as Claude Code, reading from a running app. Both exports are
portable and checked by check:boundaries; the app does not import them.
Route every application-owned presentation string through the i18n
core: t() call sites across the app/layers/ui/data/voice surfaces,
data-i18n* attributes in the src/ui/templates/*.html markup (applied at
boot by applyDocumentTranslations from src/standalone/application.js),
and the dock locale selector (runtime-rendered from the offered pair —
a single EN button while only English ships).
Rebased onto current main, where the extraction follows the module
splits: the shell wiring now lands in the owner modules
(panelChrome, visualSettings, locationNavigation, shareRestoration,
shellFeedback, applicationShell) and the voice status corpus in the
realtime* modules; scene status lives in director.js +
playbackAdapter.js.
Modules shared with the node runtime (loadingFeedback,
installationFeedback, regionalModel, keySetupCore, vessels ingestion)
stay environment-neutral English and localize at their browser render
sites (chip maps in shellFeedback/installations controls, the weather
table in cockpitBriefing, keySetupRequirementEnvVars compositions), so
the package-boundary graph stays clean; the browser boundary groups
now own the i18n modules they reach (scripts/package-boundaries.json).
