The application package boundary owns src/i18n/locales/ar.json beside the
other catalogs, and the style.css shim test checks that the shim holds only
import statements rather than counting its lines, so adding rtl.css to it
does not read as rules.
Selects pad the chevron's side with padding-inline-end, as do the Radio
filter, the SDR gain select and the voice timeout select, which set their
own padding; rtl.css moves the chevron to the left, where an Arabic field's
text ends. A rail legend's range keeps left-to-right order under its colour
ramp, which always runs low to high from left to right.
Main moved the UI to Vue views and Pinia stores, so the Arabic changes to
the old DOM controllers now live in their views: the rail legend range
comes from formatScaleRange (keeping units a source supplies as given),
the voice timeout options are worded by Intl unit formatting in
VoiceControl, and the scene editor's JSON fields stay left to right in
SceneDialog. Main's CCTV status line, launch panel and calibration values
keep the Arabic isolates and Western-digit formatting.
isolate() and keepCodesWithValues() read the locale through getLocale(),
which follows the page's vue-i18n instance, and the Intl formatters take
intlLocale(getLocale()). A language switch now applies in place, and
applyDocumentLanguage sets <html dir> on every switch, so the page mirrors
without a reload.
The icon rails and their tips are placed with logical properties, so they
stay on the outer side of the mirrored stacks; Cyber's new stack offsets,
padding and edge lines are logical too, and rtl.css moves Cyber's right
stack to its new rail clearance. Main removed the Context mini radio, so its
right-to-left rules and test go.
The Arabic catalog gains main's new strings and drops the ones main no
longer uses; the other catalogs keep main's new keys and the branch's
landing labels.
With the panel rails, the left stack's red edge line stood alone beside
the rail whenever no panel was open. It now shows only while a left panel
is open, and the right stack gains the mirrored line for its open panel.
The right stack takes the line and its gap without moving its panels, so
its rail sits outside the line like the left one.
A tall panel moves its stack to the focus or tail layout, and the rail
inside the stack went with it, so the Data Layers and Authoring buttons
jumped up and the right rail followed. Each layout pass now offsets the
rail back to the resting top, with the same transition as the stack, and
the right rail lines up with the left rail's buttons. Cyber pins the left
stack's top, so it flags that and the rail takes no offset.
Choosing a language in the picker now applies it at once. The choice is
stored and ?lang is kept in step through replaceState, and the picker keeps
focus.
Code that writes translated text itself re-presents it on a switch:
onLocaleChange() lets an owner listen, removed at teardown, and status
writers hand over a function of the locale (voice cards, scene director,
SDR, draw hints, imagery split, map sources, Bhote Koshi media) so the
words are rebuilt rather than re-sent. The HUD, cockpit, radio, CCTV,
launch, awareness and credit texts follow the same hook, and
applyDocumentTranslations can be applied again without undoing text code
wrote since.
The unsaved-work registry and persistLocaleAndReload existed only to guard
the reload, so they go, with their catalog entries.
Every data-i18n, data-i18n-title, data-i18n-aria-label and
data-i18n-placeholder marker in the Vue templates becomes a t() call with
the key the boot pass used to look up, contexts included. The three labels
the shell rewrote at boot (Visual Presets, Location and the standby
description) render through t() too, and that rewrite is gone. With the
locale in vue-i18n, view text now follows a locale change, and markup
under v-if or v-for no longer comes back in English when it re-renders.
Rendered text and attributes are unchanged in every locale. The boot pass
still translates static page markup such as the loading screen and a host's
own markup, and npm run i18n rejects data-i18n* in a Vue template.
The application views install one vue-i18n instance that holds the active
locale and the catalogs. src/i18n/index.js stays free of Vue: bindLocale()
keeps its locale in the instance's ref, so t(), tn() and the Intl formatters
read it from there and a view that translates while rendering renders again
when the locale changes. A tag written straight to the ref is normalized.
Message formatting, catalogs and call sites are unchanged, and switching
language still reloads the page.
The instance outlives the views: unmounting one no longer disposes it. The
browser build defines vue-i18n's feature flags and drops its message
compiler, which Core does not use.
The Vue and Pinia migration's entries move out of CHANGELOG.md into
changelog.d/0000-vue-and-pinia.md, newest first, as the contributing guide
asks. 0000 stands in for the pull request number until it is opened. The
migration plan's cleanup step now records where it stands: the template
expansion is gone, the pattern is required for new UI, the page-level
markup tests render the real views, the attribute translation pass waits
for vue-i18n, and a host panel registration API waits for its first host.
CONTRIBUTING gains a Building UI section: new UX elements are Vue
components rendering a Pinia store their owner publishes to, portable
owners stay framework-free behind a publish option, controls come from
src/ui/kit first, controllers don't bind the DOM by hand (Teleport where a
view renders elsewhere; body classes, focus, same-task measured positions
and painted surfaces stay imperative), text goes through t()/tn() with
msg() for stored English, and tests mount components. The README and the
architecture summary drop the stale vanilla-JS claim, the UI ownership doc
points to the guide, and the migration doc's UiPanel note names
v-panel-state as what draws a panel's collapse.
The Cockpit display portal publishes the Display popover's slots to the
gev-display store while Cockpit is on, and the Display panel teleports its
HUD, Detection, Parameters and 3D groups into them and back, each only
while its own slot is published. The portal no longer moves the groups:
it keeps each surface's scroll position, puts back focus the move
dropped, and lays the surfaces out once Vue has moved them. The popover's
uses-shared-display-controls class renders from the store, and the right
rail no longer re-homes the parameters panel the markup already places.
PanelChrome, its collapse-preference restore and the phone shell read a
panel's disclosure state back from the gev-panel-chrome store
(_shownPanel), falling back to the markup's classes before the panel is
first presented, instead of reading the classes v-panel-state draws. The
share link and the phone shell share one rule for a panel the person keeps
closed (prefersCollapsed). The rails, the accordion and the hover
disclosure still read the classes, which the directive draws in the same
task as their layout.
The Cockpit layout pass publishes the utility strip's fit to the
gev-cockpit store: the HUD's --cockpit-utility-* lengths, whether only the
expanded control fits, and whether a collapsed control beside an expanded
one is hidden from assistive technology. CockpitView renders the lengths
on the HUD and CockpitUtilityControls the strip's class and each control's
aria-hidden, which now also follows a popover opened between passes. Focus
leaves a control before the strip hides it. Exit publishes no layout,
which also clears the expanded height, class and aria-hidden the old exit
left behind. The briefing and Contact cards' positions stay imperative:
the same pass measures them straight after writing them.
VisualSettings publishes the active style's parameter rows to the display
store, and the Display panel renders them with the shared row component;
a moved slider goes back through the store's setStyleParameter action.
The readout snaps a value to its step as the browser does, half-steps up
and an off-grid maximum down. A preset that resets the shown style's
uniforms republishes its rows, input for another style's parameters is
ignored, and a stopped owner takes its rows with it unless a newer owner
has published since. createStyleParameters is deprecated and builds its
rows the same way.
RecordingControls publishes the safe frame a recording composes in, 16:9
or 9:16 (null while none records), to the new recording store, and the
scene chrome renders the overlay's active and ratio classes from it
instead of the controls writing them. Any frame but 9:16, even none named,
records in 16:9 as before.
LocationControls presents whether the search field is open and whether a
lookup runs, and the dock renders its expanded and searching classes and
calls toggleSearch(). The lookup, the navigation's settle, Escape and the
location tray's collapse reach the field through the controls
(setSearching, settleSearch, closeSearch) instead of writing its classes.
LocationControls no longer takes searchToggle, LocationSearch takes
setSearching and NavigationController takes settleSearch in place of
searchInput.
The top-center and cockpit reset buttons call the location controls'
new reset() through the globe actions store, and render a reset under
way from it, instead of the location controls binding their clicks and
the navigation writing their labels. The store keeps each owner's reset
under way like its clear, and controls replaced mid-reset keep it on the
buttons. LocationControls no longer takes resetButtons.
The camera orientation controls publish whether the map is tilted and the
camera's whole-degree heading instead of writing the buttons' attributes,
and answer tilt and north-up through the globe actions store. The new
GlobeCompass renders the heading, so a rotating camera re-renders only the
compass. The store drops an unchanged camera state and keeps each clear
owner's busy state, so the buttons show the shell that answers them: a
shell replaced by a newer one, or disposed mid-clear, leaves the live
shell's state alone, and an older shell that answers again shows its own.
createOwners gains owns() and ownerOf().
The top-center bar is now GlobeActions.vue. The shell publishes whether a
clear is under way and answers the clear and share buttons through the
globe actions store, instead of binding listeners and writing attributes on
the buttons. A shell disposed mid-clear resets the busy state, so the next
shell's bar is not left busy. bindClearLayersControl stays exported and is
deprecated.
The Contact and briefing cards' headers repeated the same frame: the title
grid over a hairline, the accent kicker and the square action buttons. It
lives in cockpit-card-header, cockpit-card-kicker and cockpit-card-actions
now, beside each card's own classes, which keep only their spacing and
sizes; the cyber theme targets the shared classes. The computed styles of
every header element are unchanged in the default and cyber themes,
expanded and collapsed.
UiSlider merges a caller's own input, change and blur handlers with its
own, leaves the input alone on a null model, and gains unstyled for a
range drawn as the browser's own. The rail card setting, observation
timeline, imagery opacity, Street Level date and Bhote Koshi split and
progress ranges now render through it. The timeline and the setting
ranges put the handle back once their owner has answered, since a drag
that ends where the slider last rendered leaves its model unchanged.
The radio tuner keeps its own input: its owner moves the handle back to
the selected station without changing the slot.
UiBadge takes a tone and carries Core's gev-status-badge class, with
the density variants and colours left to its callers; the CCTV source and
calibration badges and the rail card badges render through it. UiEmpty takes
a title and hint, with the title as the line itself, since Core's
empty states are one line; the Scene shot list, mission roster and imagery
strip use it.
UiSelect renders the bare native select with v-model, options and
disabled. Options that carry their own attributes come through the slot, a
caller's own change handler still reaches the select, and hold never
rewrites a focused select and takes the model back on blur. Without hold, a
select takes its model back once its change has rendered, so a pick its
owner refuses goes back, as the raw value binding did.
The HUD layout, draw colour, RTL-SDR gain, radio station tag, voice
provider, voice timeout, scene and CCTV camera selects now render through
it.
UiChip is a non-interactive label chip and renders the voice
card's chips. The pressable chips and pills are pressed toggles, so the
rail card chips, map source chips and city and place pills render through
UiButton with pressedClass, keeping their classes, attributes and the
classes other code adds. The pills now report aria-pressed.
UiButton gains pressedClass, Core's class on a pressed button. The pressed
classes toggle through classList, so classes other code adds survive a
press, a caller's class change keeps them, a renamed pressedClass leaves
the button, and server-rendered markup carries them.
The Display, SDR, Radio and Cockpit enable, Cockpit weather and briefing,
mission replay, Street Level, TR-3B, overlay, voice and CCTV toggles now
render through it with the same ids, classes and aria-pressed values.
UiSlider takes v-model, min, max, step and disabled
over Core's native range input, emits numbers, and with `hold` never
rewrites a focused handle and takes the model back on blur. It is a
functional render function, so the portable style parameter rows use it
too. The Display, Radio, RTL-SDR, Cockpit, mission replay and style
parameter sliders render with it; server-rendered markup keeps their
default values.
RadioTuner binds the slider's pointer, key and value events in its
template and calls RadioControls through the radio store; the drag,
its slot and the pointer capture stay with RadioControls, unchanged.
The Radio panel's and Cockpit's Enable, launcher, station tag,
transport and volume controls call RadioControls through the radio
store instead of DOM listeners. A refused station tag gets the kept tag
back from act(), which now returns what the answering action returned.
The Cockpit's station steps keep rotate: false. The unused element
fields go from the shell.
SdrCard calls LocalSdrControls through radio store actions instead of
DOM listeners, and renders its gain options from the receiver's own
R820T gain steps with page-language labels. The display and radio
stores share one owner list (createOwners): the newest connected owner
with an action answers it.
Street Level's fit and panorama filters and Recent Imagery's mode render
through the kit's UiSegmented, and their owners answer the choice
through the Street Level store (setPano, setRenderMode) and the
readout's onSetMode. The imperative segmentedControl.js adapter and its
test go. UiSegmented moves focus at once on a key, a radio group from
the option holding focus and an arrows group from the selection, and
asks for a change only when the key lands somewhere new.
The file import no longer looks up or listens on the Import button, the
picker or the list, and no longer restores focus itself. It connects
importGeoFiles, toggleGeoImport, flyToGeoImport and removeGeoImport to
the display store. A new GeoImport view owns the button, the picker, the
rows and the hint: it opens the picker once the import has presented
itself, sends the pick and the row buttons' actions, and hands keyboard
focus on with v-focus-safe-children before a focused row goes, to the
next row's same button, else the previous row's, else Import.
The draw tool no longer looks up or listens on its controls. It connects
toggleDraw, setDrawShape, setDrawColor, setDrawLabel and clearDraw to the
display store, which now holds several owners and lets the newest owner
of an action answer it, and it publishes the colour and label beside the
shape, state and hint. The Draw panel renders the shape choice with
UiSegmented and binds the label and colour to what the tool publishes.
The label field's own Enter listener goes: the session's capture-phase
key handler already finishes the shape from that field.
The Display panel, the dock's style buttons and the clean-view exit call
the display store's actions, and DisplayBindings connects their handlers
to it, replacing the bindDisplayControls listeners. The detection
allocation and 3D model coverage choices render through a new kit
UiSegmented, which takes v-model, options, label,
stacked and disabled, and adds a keyboard policy, item classes and
per-option attributes.
Shell element fields and facade accessors that only the old listeners
read are removed. The package boundaries now own UiSegmented and the
UiPanel kit files, and the format scope drops the deleted test.
The Authoring panel's and shot list's buttons, the CCTV panel's buttons and
Street Level's nearest button are the kit's UiButton, keeping their classes:
danger buttons take the alert tone and primary ones the primary variant. The
CCTV on/off, coverage, auto-hop, projection and adjust toggles, which showed
their state only by colour, now carry aria-pressed too.
The Data, Authoring, Weather, Recent Imagery, Context, CCTV, Street Level
and Radio panels each wrote the same frame by hand. They are now one kit
component, UiPanel, with a title, badge/actions/default slots and
v-model:collapsed, drawing Core's panel markup and classes beside the kit's;
props cover the differences (sideways, glow, scroll, railScroller, tag,
toggleWords). RailPanel binds it to the panel chrome store: v-panel-state
writes its state classes at once, and its button's clicks reach PanelChrome.
UiPanelToggle is the collapse button UiPanel and PanelCollapseButton share.
UiPanel's collapsed drives the button and ui-panel--collapsed
only; the owner hides the body by writing the root's collapsed class, since
the rails measure a panel in the task that opens it. PanelCollapseButton
takes startCollapsed instead of initial and initialTitle, so a button shows
its state's glyph and words before startup presents the panel. Titles render
through t() instead of data-i18n, and the unused "Expand panel" string is
pruned. v-panel-state redraws the presented state after a re-render, in
case a root's class binding ever changes.
Cockpit presence now carries contextCollapsed and signalCollapsed.
setContextCollapsed and setSignalCollapsed update presence and republish
it only when the value changes, instead of writing the dataset and the
toggle attributes. CockpitContext and CockpitBriefing bind data-collapsed
and their toggles' aria-expanded, aria-label, title and icon from
presence. The Cockpit utility QA script waits a frame for Vue to render
before it reads the toggles.
A panel's collapsed, dock-pinned, dock-pinned-top, layout-auto-collapsed
and accordion-collapsed classes are drawn by its root's v-panel-state from
the gev-panel-chrome store. PanelChrome, its restore, the layout
controller, both rails and the side accordion present each panel's state
there instead of writing its classes; the rails call onCollapse(panel,
{collapsed, auto}). The directive applies a change in a synchronous
watcher, since the rails measure a panel in the task that opens or closes
it.
Destroying the chrome inside Cockpit now puts back the panels Cockpit's
entry closed while it can still present them. Without a shell, the voice
tools' set_panel_open reports that there is no panel to open. QA scripts
present the states they set instead of writing the classes.
