Main added the News layer at the same places: both layers are kept in the
layer names, panel order (News stays last of Events), standalone sources,
voice manifest, credits, DATA_SOURCES and the CURRENT-STATE table. News took
share-link token 00 first, so Shipwrecks moves to 01 (ledger, registry,
CURRENT-STATE and the token tests). The catalog now has 40 layers and the
share-link registry 38. Shipwreck strings are added to the new Hebrew
catalog; the other catalogs keep both sides' strings.
Wildlife Sightings (#1591) published share token 9, so News takes the
next free token, 00. The token tests read the ledger before both where
they were written against it, and the README counts both layers.
Main's wildlife-sightings layer took share-link token 9, so shipwrecks
takes the next free token, 00. Locale, docs, format-scope and voice
manifest conflicts keep both sides. Ledger and registry tests now model
the ledger before shipwrecks took 00, and layer counts include both
new layers.

Events ▸ News draws the last 24 hours of reports from curated hotspots
(Ukraine–Russia, Israel–Gaza–Lebanon, Iran–Hormuz, Yemen–Red Sea, Sudan,
Sahel) and developing situations elsewhere, from any server that answers the
`/api/news` read routes.
- Globe: one marker per merged event, clamped to the ground and culled at the
horizon; one beacon per hotspot when zoomed out and a pulsing beacon for a
developing situation; hotspot outlines with disputed areas dotted and
labelled by who administers and who claims them; picture cards for at most
ten major or fast-growing events with two or more sources, never
overlapping, switchable off.
- Panel: hotspot chips, a severity filter (significant and above by default),
categories, minor news off by default, and a scrolling list of event cards
with picture, headline, place, sources, age and the sides that reported it.
"In view" lists what is near the map below 3,000 km once the camera
settles. A card flies the globe to its event and opens it with a link to
the publisher. Reduced motion stops the pulse and the flights.
- Core serves no news itself: the local server proxies GEV_NEWS_ORIGIN when it
is set, and answers 503 unavailable otherwise, so the layer reads "not
configured" once instead of retrying.
- Share token 9 (enabled-only); voice stays off for this layer.
Recent community wildlife observations, as a new Wildlife group in the
layer panel.
- Server: keyless iNaturalist proxy (v2 observations with only the
projected fields; undocumented v1 UTFGrid density tiles, decoded on the
server) sharing one paced queue (burst 4, ~1/s, 60/min, 8,000/day budget,
up to four in flight), in-memory caches and upstream-only cooldowns;
Acartia Salish Sea marine-mammal feed rounded to 0.01 degrees with
comments dropped.
- Layer: grid counts drawn as a soft view-ranked density glow; real sampled
sightings as taxon badges at their true positions with ambient photo
thumbnails and labels; obscured records stay privacy cells; a clicked
sighting stays pinned through camera moves and refreshes.
- Anchored photo card per selection with the single iNaturalist link;
attribution in the layer row and the Data attribution popover.
- Filters (CONFIRMED, taxa presets) round-trip in share links with token 9.

A new Events layer maps shipwrecks with a card per wreck:
- EMODnet Human Activities heritage shipwrecks (about 6,500 in European
waters, CC BY 4.0), skipping rows taken from wrecksite.eu.
- Wikidata shipwrecks with a Wikipedia article plus sinking events
(CC0); an event folds into its ship for the date and death toll.
- A same-origin /api/shipwrecks proxy refreshes once a day and serves
the last snapshot as stale for up to a week.
Markers are a boat icon coloured by era and sized by deaths; four era
chips filter the layer. The card follows the air-accidents layout
(deaths first). Text that names people is dropped; victims appear as
a count only.

Move the share-link token to 6 (3 is gnss-integrity), build altitude
ranges from LOWER/UPPER VAL, UOM and CODE, mark card and legend strings
for translation, rename the layer to Prohibited & Restricted Airspace,
move the changelog entry to changelog.d, and keep the layer voice-off
while the Realtime prompt is at its budget.
Knip, configured with the application, package exports, scripts, QA
harnesses, workers, tools and tests as entry points, reports exports
that no module imports. Each was checked by hand against string-based
and namespace imports.
- Symbols that are still used inside their own module lose only the
`export` keyword (176 constants and helpers).
- Unused re-exports are removed from barrel modules (flight, military,
vessel, CCTV, directions, transit history, local ADS-B and street-level
policy modules).
- Declarations that nothing uses at all are deleted, among them
AIS_WATCHDOG_STATUSES, applyFilter, isRadioCountryCode, compactText,
DENSITY_STOPS, the unused CCTV endpoint constants, and the SDR band
constants.
- Default exports that nothing imports are removed. The ones in
src/data/earthquakes.js, src/data/telegeographySubmarineCables.js,
src/data/wind.js and src/data/bhoteKoshiLocator.js each constructed a
layer instance at import time that nothing used; those instances are
no longer created.
Every export of a package.json entry stays, as does TOMTOM_CREDIT,
which the traffic layer reads from the credits namespace it is given.
Port to current main: main reserved layer-state token 0 for street-level, so
air-quality takes the next free token, 4 (registry, ledger, and the allocation
tests shift by one). Main moved source contracts into sourceComposition.js, so
air-quality registers its getSnapshot contract there. Package boundaries keep
main's lists plus this branch's air-quality modules and packages.
Show US prohibited and restricted special-use airspace from the keyless
FAA SUA FeatureServer as an off-by-default Infrastructure layer, with
share-link token 3 and an informational-only disclaimer.
