Google's Maps Platform terms forbid Street View imagery beside non-Google
maps, so the provider declares requiresMapStack: 'photoreal': off Google
3D its chip is dashed with the reason, lookups and opens skip it, and
leaving Google 3D closes its panorama.
- Ground clicks: only a click on the map itself (scenePick.isSurfacePick:
nothing picked or Google 3D tile content) at street zoom opens Street
View, and the camera stays put; higher up the hint says to zoom in.
scenePick.pickGroundPosition replaces the copy in Directions.
- Viewer: poses go out at once and again when the date and address
arrive, so an open never hangs on that lookup; one lookup per panorama,
seeded by the nearest lookup; a close settles a pending open; failed
lookups are asked again; poses follow position changes, not pano_changed.
- Loader: the gm_authFailure handler is installed once, so a retried load
reports a refusal once.
- Viewer host: a prewarm that lands after another provider took the host
is released; FIT/FILL availability is set on every open.
- Provider: a refusal while switched off reports no error over another
photo; SINCE compares against the end of Google's month; messages name
the referrer and network causes; FLAT says Street View is 360° only.
- The layer row names the key of the providers that are on; the MCP panel
CSP admits Street View's tiles, control images and photos.
- Tests for each, against fakes that now follow Google's event order; the
browser gate restores its state, waits instead of sleeping, aims its
panel clicks and corner drags, and asserts the camera stays put.

Google Street View registers beside Mapillary as provider `google`. It runs
on the Maps JavaScript API with the browser GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY, loaded on
first use (mapsLoader.js), and uses Google's own StreetViewPanorama as its
viewer adapter, emitting provider-neutral poses (address and month in the
caption, a link to Google Maps, steps along Google's arrows, FOLLOW on
Google 3D). Its chip starts off because every panorama is billed to the
key; the share option is `g`.
Google offers no coverage layer for other maps, so the provider draws
none: with it on, a click on bare ground at street zoom opens its nearest
Google-collected outdoor panorama (groundClick.js). A key Google refuses
reads KEY REJECTED and fails a pending open at once; a lookup Google never
answers fails after 10 s.
Core: providers may declare `groundClick` and `defaultOn`; poses may carry
`capturedAtPrecision` and `title`; the coverage line keeps every
provider's hint; opening one provider's image releases another's
prewarmed viewer; FIT/FILL hides for viewers without render modes. CSP
script-src admits https://maps.googleapis.com. The browser gate gains two
Street View steps (the keyed one skips as 'no Google key' in CI).

Trim the doc text this PR adds (README, CHANGELOG, CURRENT-STATE,
KNOWN-ISSUES, SECURITY, DATA_SOURCES, .env.example, the CI job comment),
drop code comments that restate the code, cut design-note JSDoc to a line
or two, and drop review tags from test names. Comments only; no code
changes.
Also: README key count (seven keys, two metered), CURRENT-STATE's gate
paragraph (CI runs a production build with a dummy token), the stacked
doc above meshBoxInRange and the orphaned inMeshRange line in
coverage.js, and a duplicate ALPR row in DATA_SOURCES that a merge had
brought back.

- Lower the Vegvesen default cap to 900, still above the ~850 working
cameras, so the per-pack defaults stay closer to the catalog default.
- Name the flat ground-elevation prior as a known limitation: the feed
is 2D, and mountain-pass cameras can sit below terrain where neither
the point-height prior nor the ground snap resolves.
- README: ~3,900 public cameras.
- Use one HLS figure (~135 working) in CHANGELOG and DATA_SOURCES.
- DATA_SOURCES: list the frame and HLS hosts alongside the catalog host.

Norway's ~850 working road cameras load from one keyless GeoJSON request
to the agency's OGC API view of its DATEX 3.1 CCTV table, so no DATEX
account is needed. Faulty cameras are dropped, every camera sits under a
"Norway" category, and the ~135 that publish HLS play as live video
through the existing in-memory relay with the still as fallback. Frames
and manifests are pinned to each camera's own path on the agency hosts.
CCTV_VEGVESEN_ENABLED=0 disables the pack, CCTV_VEGVESEN_MAX_SOURCES
caps it (nearest the largest cities first) and CCTV_VEGVESEN_VIDEO=0
keeps stills only. Attributed under NLOD 2.0.

Traffic roads come from OpenFreeMap vector tiles, or TomTom flow tiles with a
key (Hybrid by default). Military areas use OpenFreeMap polygons with a bundled
worldwide name index; wide views show named points. ALPR reads an hourly
OpenStreetMap extract. Cockpit place context and country, state and US county
outlines use bundled Natural Earth and US Census data. Overpass is used only
when an operator configures their own endpoint.
Also: camera arrivals no longer land below ground, keyless terrain retries on
429, bounded relation geometry for configured Overpass, one shared
OpenStreetMap credit, and separate tile and API transports for embedders.

Adds a Local ADS-B layer fed by your own receivers: a browser WebUSB
RTL-SDR (with FM listening) and local 1090/978 MHz decoder feeds
(LOCAL_RECEIVER_FEEDS, local and private addresses only). Local aircraft
draw in magenta with class, silhouettes, 3D models, trails and a position
sanity filter; the click card names the band and input that heard them.
Builds on Sameh Khamis's SDR prototype and the initial GEV port by
Mazeyar Moeini Feizabadi (#134); the decoder-feed design follows the
notes on #57. Closes#57.

Select a box on the world and browse the last 30 days of open satellite imagery over it, keyless: NASA GIBS Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (30 m) and the VIIRS daily overview (250 m), with a day strip, IMAGE / VS BASEMAP / A / B modes with a swipe divider, PNG export and share links. The before/after swipe from the Nepal scene moves into shared modules so both use it.

TOMTOM_DAILY_TILE_BUDGET defaulted to 40,000 per day against a free
tier that is granted per MONTH, not per day. TomTom currently allows
200,000 Traffic Flow & Incidents tile requests per month
(https://docs.tomtom.com/pricing/), so the default exhausted a user's
entire monthly allowance in five days and left the traffic layer dead
for the rest of the billing period.
The docs contradicted themselves on this. traffic.js described the
free tier as "~50k/day", while .env.example cited the correct 200K
per month two lines below quoting the same 40,000 default. 50k/day
would be 1.5M/month, 7.5x the actual allowance.
Sets the default to 6,000/day. A 31-day month lands at 186,000,
inside the allowance with headroom. Corrects the stale figures in
traffic.js, .env.example and DATA_SOURCES.md.
This remains an application-side safety ceiling, not a billing cap,
and the surrounding text still says so. TomTom's free tier requires
no card, so overrunning it cuts the layer off rather than generating
a charge — but a layer that dies three weeks into every month is
still worth avoiding by default.

adsbdb supplies the aircraft type, model name and registration behind every
enriched flight, and the airline and origin/destination pair behind the
tracked contact's FROM -> TO strip. It appeared in neither attribution
surface: DATA_SOURCES.md and src/data/dataCredits.js each held zero
occurrences of it, against the rule both files state for themselves and
CONTRIBUTING's fourth pull-request item. adsb.lol is a different operator and
its ODbL credit does not reach this data.
The reporter of #256 left the patch off deliberately, saying the terms were
what should not be guessed. They are published, so this takes them from the
source rather than inventing them: adsbdb credits PlaneBase for the aircraft
data and Guillaume Michel for the ICAO-to-N-number conversion, and states that
the flight route data "is the work of David Taylor, Edinburgh and Jim Mason,
Glasgow, and may not be copied, published, or incorporated into other
databases without the explicit permission of David J Taylor, Edinburgh". No
licence or rate limit is published for the service itself.
That restriction is the reason the note records what the proxy does with what
it fetches: responses are cached per key for 24 hours in .gev-cache/adsbdb.json,
which is gitignored, so the data stays on the operator's machine and is never
bundled with this repo or redistributed.
A test pins the credit. The attribution is a requirement rather than a
preference, so it should fail loudly if a later edit drops the names or the
restriction, instead of surviving on luck.
Supersedes #218 by @spcpza, ported onto the current component layout with fixes from review.
Verified before merge: format, package boundaries, unit suite, build, and the browser tracking suite; a browser harness for the change where one applies; adversarial review applied.
Contributor: @spcpza. His original commit is the base of this branch, and his own re-port onto main (2026-09-15, `5b69011`) was consulted while finishing the height work. That port reads every vehicle's surface from the app's shared ground-floor system (`cachedGroundFloor` / `warmGroundFloor` / `GROUND_FLOOR_LIFT_M`) rather than sampling the scene per layer, keeps a vehicle hidden until its cell answers, warms a bounded batch per poll on a timer instead of per frame, and renders at the ellipsoid above the altitude gate. That is the sounder primitive — one floor system for the app, with the rooftop-versus-street question already settled against a datum-correct DEM prior — and this branch's height work was rebuilt on it, replacing a bespoke cell cache, ground prior and rooftop rule written here. Credit for that direction is his.
Future work (not in this PR), both written up in docs/CURRENT-STATE.md:
- Readable route names. The realtime feeds carry only `route_id`; `route_short_name` / `route_long_name` live in each operator's static GTFS `routes.txt`, and headsigns in `trips.txt`. Doing it properly wants a server-side metadata loader beside the transit proxy with fixed registered static sources, bounded indexes built once and persisted, a slow conditional refresh, and a versioned route dictionary the browser caches. Shipped here: ids are never rewritten, and a cut one carries an ellipsis instead of reading as a typo.
- Below-ground rendering. Subway vehicles are drawn on the surface directly above themselves, because the feeds carry no depth and a train nobody can see is not worth drawing; the card says so plainly. Real treatment wants OSM tunnel geometry per city and a ghosted sprite tethered to the surface. The owner recorded it and left it.
Round four and after (2026-09-15). The owner tested round three under FLIR and NVG, and then asked for the design to be taken further: elegant in performance, beautiful on camera, trails with a cache for public transport, Cesium-native, and a core other moving layers can adopt. Codex Astra reviewed the plan (it confirmed the speed fault: a glide started from the drawn position at receipt time but spanned the gap between report times, so with MBTA reporting every ~10 s against a 15 s poll every second glide ran at 1.5x; it rejected a queued-segment patch), then wrote the design, then implemented it in commit-sized passes with adversarial review between them and real-browser harness runs by the integrator.
What this PR now contains beyond the contributor's original port:
- Delayed playback in a contact-agnostic core (`src/data/contactPlayback.js`): each vehicle keeps a typed, bounded fix history and a display clock that runs at one second per second through it, a feed-derived lag behind real time, holding at its newest fix rather than extrapolating and never sprinting to catch up. Marker, course, motion word, card and trail all read the same displayed sample. The clock has an explicit time-offset and seek API so a rewind is a later feature, not a rewrite; flights and vessels are untouched.
- A selected-vehicle trail (`src/data/contactTrailRenderer.js`, `src/layers/transit/trails.js`): the retained history drawn with batched Cesium primitives, clipped at display time so the head is exactly the sprite, faded by age, in the mode colour (white under sensor presets), on the same surface path as the marker.
- Bounded proxy-side history (`server/providers/transitHistory.js`): fifteen minutes and at most 128 fixes per vehicle with hard byte ceilings, MBTA only for now (opt-in per feed), served by a small endpoint that never fetches upstream, so a selected trail survives a browser reload while the server keeps running.
- Scene work bounded to what is visible and moving, an occluder, cached DETECT candidates, holds on the render loop only while something visible moves.
- Sensor presets: white-hot haloed sprites under NVG/FLIR/noir (black-hot inverts), saturated mode colours under CRT, per-mode bracket tiers in every theme, the selected card keeping its mode colour.
- A discriminating browser harness (`scripts/qa-transit.mjs`) that samples postRender frames, reads the real card anchor, and measures fleet budgets at 800 and 3,000 vehicles.
Not built, recorded as follow-ups: curated route display names (lowest priority per the owner), fleet-wide tails, route snapping, a rewind UI, adoption of the playback core by flights and vessels.
Verified at merge (2026-09-15 morning): unit suite 3,896 passing, build clean, format and boundary gates clean, tracking regression 109/109, browser harness keyless 200 pass / 0 fail (13 sensor checks unexercised because the live view offered fewer than six isolated sprites; every judged sprite passed), keyed on Google 3D tiles 198 pass with the per-frame allocation gate as the only failure. Follow-ups recorded: the keyed build's playback sampler still allocates per frame (CPU and frame time stay within budget; the 3,000-vehicle metro view sits at a 27.6 ms frame interval against a 25 ms budget), the shared detection overlay's per-paint allocation, friendlier route names, fleet-wide tails, a rewind UI, and adopting the playback core for vessels and flights.

Place search was Google-only: searchAndFlyTo threw without a key, and with a
key whose Geocoding API is not enabled it returned nothing. Both cases leave
the LOCATION box and the fly_to_location voice tool unable to resolve a name,
even though every other layer in the app works keyless.
src/keylessGeocoder.js adapts Photon (komoot, over OpenStreetMap) into the
shape the Google path already produces — lat/lng, label, Google-style types,
{southwest,northeast} bounds — so geocodeNavigationMode, regionFramingPlan and
the region-swath cap keep running on unchanged inputs. The translation lives at
the boundary and nowhere else; Google remains primary and its branch is
unchanged when it answers.
Detection is the empty result, not an exception: an unenabled Geocoding API
answers HTTP 200 with REQUEST_DENIED. Places near-view recovery is now
attempted only when a key exists, since Places is a Google service too.
Three translations are load-bearing, and each was found by querying the live
service rather than by reasoning about OSM tagging:
- Google's `bounds` PREFERS results inside the box; Photon's `bbox` FILTERS to
it. Sent as a bbox, searching "Ho Guom, Ha Noi" while looking at Austin
returns features: []. Sent as Photon's lat/lon proximity bias it finds the
lake, and "Sixth Street" still resolves to Austin's over Austin and to
England's over London.
- Photon's `extent` is [west, north, east, south]. Read as [w,s,e,n] it yields
an inverted but finite box that frames the camera at nothing.
- A specific OSM key=value rule must beat the coarse `type`. Photon tags a lake
`water=lake` with `type: 'other'` — unmapped, that framed Hoan Kiem Lake as a
precise place and put the camera 26 m over the water — and tags a town square
`type: 'locality'`, which framed Times Square as if it were a city.
searchAndFlyTo no longer throws when no key is present. Both callers already
read a null return as not-found (ui.js renders its miss branch, gevActions
reports ok: false), so the removed throw has no consumer.
Verified end to end through the real search box, with a key Google refuses:
one denied Google geocode, one Photon request, camera from Austin
(30.2700, -97.7400) to 21.0288, 105.8524 — Hoan Kiem Lake to within metres —
and "Ha Noi" framed at province scale. npm test 2604/2604; npm run build
clean; npm run test:track 97/3, the same three failures unmodified main
produces on this machine.
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.
