Add a Wind layer animating the global 10 m wind field from NOAA GFS.
The /api/wind proxy selects the latest available 0.25° cycle, reads its .idx
inventory, byte-range fetches only the UGRD/VGRD 10 m GRIB2 messages (~1 MB
each instead of the whole ~500 MB file), decodes them with ecCodes (WASM),
resamples to a compact grid (1° default), and serves a manifest plus a Float32
U/V payload cached per cycle for an hour (single-flight, last-good on failure).
The client renders nullschool-style particles in a canvas overlay: bilinear
field sampling with longitude wrap, per-frame advection, Cesium camera
projection, and globe-occlusion culling via EllipsoidalOccluder.
Validated end-to-end against the real 2026-09-14 06z cycle on Node 25
(180x91 grid at 2°, 131,040-byte payload, plausible mean |u|/|v|). The WASM
decoder requires Node >=24, which the repo already requires.
Registered as `wind` (token k) with attribution and docs. Verified: npm test
(3412 pass, 0 fail), npm run check:boundaries.
The first formal release.
- One-click install via Pinokio; keyless boot lands on a live Esri World
Imagery satellite globe with keyless terrain, with automatic OSM fallback
and graceful degradation when terrain is unavailable.
- Provider Settings (the POWER UP panel): add, replace, or remove API keys
inside the app; credential files made owner-only before any secret is
written; external keys shown read-only; the panel refuses shared or proxied
servers.
- Keyless capability responses for the optional HUD summary and place search.
- Aircraft-identity voice answers cover operator, type, and route, and say so
plainly when enrichment is unavailable.
- README rewritten keyless-first; concise 0.1.0 changelog section; CI
workflow included.
Gates: 2,672 unit tests pass / 0 fail, build clean, tracking regression
108/108, map-source tray QA pass, setup doctor ready.
