The ellipsoidal horizon test hid ground below the ellipsoid (low-geoid
coasts, the Dead Sea) from a camera near it, so it is now tested at 0 m.
With the globe hidden the ground is tested as the vertical from 0 to
9,000 m against the frustum planes, in place of a 4.5 km sphere that let
in much unseen ground.

An unsampled base sits at ellipsoid height 0. Over high terrain seen at an
angle that point projects below the screen while the ground above it is in
view, so the gate skipped ground the camera could see and never sampled it.
The gate now tests loaded globe terrain when there is some, and otherwise
the whole span of heights a sample can accept (0 to 9,000 m).

scene.sampleHeight reads only surface rendered for the current view. For a
data centre or dam base outside the frustum or over the horizon it read
through the Earth (about -6,344 km over Ashburn on Esri), failed the 9,000 m
check and retried every 2 s indefinitely, one offscreen render per record.
Over Ashburn that held rest frames at 58-589 ms. Unseen bases are now
skipped without being stamped, so each is sampled on the first walk that
sees it, and they no longer arm the retry render.

The HUD builds place context for its AI summary whenever the camera
settles, and each build paid for up to four reverse geocodes plus a Nearby
Places search, even when no OpenAI key was configured to use them.
- Ask GET /api/openai/hud-summary/status once; with no summary configured,
or after an unconfigured reply, make no place lookups for the page.
- Reverse-geocode at most two points: the view center and one viewport
point.
- Reuse a lookup until the view center moves a quarter of the visible
width, the camera's distance to it doubles or halves, or the camera
crosses a lookup height. The reused points are asked again, so only a
timeout, failure or empty answer spends.
- Repaint the last AI reply when a small pan leaves the context unchanged.
Cached-only hosts and voice context lookups are unchanged.
When several candidates fit a "place, region" query, take a settlement or
administrative area over a POI of the same name, so a cafe called "Paris"
in Lyon cannot win "Paris, France" from the nearby pass.
Tests: region queries without a camera bias, whole-word and every-word
region matching, city and county regions, the nearby whole-name answer when
the unbiased request fails, and the settlement preference. The new tests sit
with the other Paris, Texas tests. The station fixture uses its real city.
CURRENT-STATE now describes the order the code applies.
A Retry-After longer than the 10 s retry budget used to sleep the whole
budget out and then give up, so the proxy's 429 pause started 10 s late
and every new-point poll in that window still went upstream and logged.
The retry loop now stops at once in that case.
Tests: the retry loop no longer sleeps for an unreachable Retry-After;
fully cached points, including stale ones, are served during the pause
with no upstream call; a 503 does not pause; a shorter concurrent
Retry-After never cuts the pause short. CURRENT-STATE now says which
requests are still served and which log.
Rebuild the zh-Hant catalog from zh-CN with OpenCC s2tw glyph
conversion, so wording and terminology match zh-CN and only the
script differs. Drop Taiwan-specific vocabulary and wording notes;
zh-TW/HK/MO browser tags still select zh-Hant.

The Street Level viewer caption rounded the photo's bearing without
wrapping, so a view facing 359.5° or more read "360°". The rounded
bearing now wraps to 0°.
Main now listens to camera.moveStart in IntelHUD's constructor (#1384), so
the fake camera in src/hudPageVisibility.test.mjs needs that event too, as
hudAltitudeDatum.test.mjs already has. No change to the fix itself.

A location search that found nothing or failed now keeps its query, the open field and focus (text selected), and shows a persistent role=alert message under the search row instead of a toast. Typing, a new search or closing the emptied field clears it. HAL-727.
