 - **Freeway Bureau, MOTC (Taiwan).** National freeway cameras from the Freeway Bureau's keyless [CCTV static table](https://tisvcloud.freeway.gov.tw/history/motc20/CCTV.xml) in the MOTC 2.0 standard, refreshed daily and fetched at runtime (never bundled). Freeway Bureau traffic data is published under the [Open Government Data License, Taiwan (Version 1.0)](https://data.gov.tw/license), which permits reuse, including commercial reuse, with attribution; the app credits the Freeway Bureau, MOTC, names the dataset and links the licence, as its attribution exhibit asks. The table publishes each camera's MJPEG stream on one of four official camera servers (`cctvn`, `cctvn5`, `cctvc`, `cctvs` under `freeway.gov.tw`). The frame proxy relays single images, so each published stream URL is mapped to the same server's single-JPEG path for the same camera number (`/abs2mjpg/bmjpg` → `/abs2mjpg/jpg`, `/live-view/mjpg/video.cgi` → `/live-view/jpg/image.cgi`); only those exact HTTPS pairs are registered, and the still path is not itself listed in the table. These are on-demand snapshots, not continuous video. Camera headings are low-confidence estimates. No API key is required. The table host does not answer from some networks outside Taiwan (the camera servers do); there the pack is empty, logs one warning and retries hourly. On by default; `CCTV_TAIWAN_ENABLED=0` skips the pack, and `CCTV_TAIWAN_MAX_SOURCES` defaults to 600 (bounded to 1–2000).
 
 - **Google Maps Platform.** You supply your own API key and are bound by [Google's ToS](https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms). Google Maps Content (tiles, geocodes, places) **may not be cached, stored, rehosted, or committed** — this app only ever uses it live, which is the compliant pattern. The "Google" attribution is displayed on the globe and must stay visible. Restrict your key (see [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md)).
-- **Sea Marks and Ski Pistes (#10).** Two keyless raster overlay layers under Infrastructure, OpenSeaMap sea marks and OpenSnowMap ski pistes, requested tile by tile as the camera views them, with no prefetch, bulk download or caching on our side (OpenSnowMap forbids bulk tile download without prior agreement). They drape on the globe on the OSM and Bing stacks and on the Google Photorealistic tileset on Google 3D (see `src/maps/imageryHost.js`). OpenRailwayMap and OpenInfraMap, also requested in #10, are not included: OpenRailwayMap's tile server only answers requests whose Referer is its own site, and OpenInfraMap serves vector tiles that need a vector rendering pipeline.
 - **OpenSky Network.** Its license is **non-commercial**, and operational use of the REST API in a live product can require a prior written agreement with OpenSky — even for non-profit/government use. If you deploy this commercially, contact OpenSky for your own terms. The flights layer is a toggle and runs anonymously by default.
 - **adsb.lol flight fallback.** When OpenSky is unavailable and no last-good OpenSky response exists, the server requests a cached, capped 250 nm adsb.lol point snapshot around the current camera subpoint. This is regional observed context, not worldwide completeness; provenance is exposed in the Flights stats/context row. Military ICAOs remain reconciled through the existing dedicated military registry rather than duplicated.

Non-browser loopback tools (the repo QA harnesses POST the token endpoint with no `Origin`) and the explicit `HOST=0.0.0.0` LAN opt-in keep working — the gate deliberately does not require a loopback remote address; that stricter requirement belongs only to the credential panel (`admitKeySetupRequest`). The Host check (`allowedHosts`, applied by `hostCheckPlugin` ahead of every route, since Vite's own check runs only after plugin middleware) rejects a rebinding `Host` before any handler runs, in every mode, and the gate is defense in depth behind it: the LAN opt-in keeps that check and accepts only IP addresses, `localhost` and names listed in `GEV_ALLOWED_HOSTS`. **Limit:** a name you list there is trusted like the app's own address, so list only names you control. The keyless map routes (`/api/terrain/heights` and `/api/overpass`) use the same cross-site checks, minus the forwarding-header refusal: they guard only per-client quotas and caches, not a key or a bill, and the map needs both to render behind a reverse proxy. `/api/overpass` also admits at most 300 POSTs a minute per peer (IPv6 peers keyed by /64) and 900 a minute across all remote peers before it reads a body. A direct loopback request — a loopback socket with none of the forwarding headers `hasProxySignals` checks (`Forwarded`, `Via`, `X-Forwarded-For`, `X-Forwarded-Host`, `X-Forwarded-Port`, `X-Forwarded-Proto`, `X-Real-IP`, `CF-Connecting-IP`, `CF-Ray`) — draws on its own per-peer admission window, so remote peers cannot exhaust the owner's admission. A reverse proxy on the same machine must add at least one of those headers (Caddy and Cloudflare do by default; nginx needs `proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;`, plus `proxy_set_header Host $http_host;` and `proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;` so the `Origin` check matches), or its traffic is indistinguishable from the owner's and shares the owner's window. With one, its requests are then counted as remote, in one bucket per proxy socket — the forwarded client address is never trusted as identity — so all users behind one proxy share 300/min. The isolation needs a loopback socket: under the default Docker bridge network every host-side client, the owner included, arrives from the container gateway and is one remote peer. **Limit:** this isolates admission only. The upstream budget (90 requests/min per client key, 300/min across all clients) is shared, so once remote traffic has used the global upstream budget, an owner request that misses the cache can still get `429`, or `503` when remote misses hold every upstream concurrency slot; cache hits are unaffected. The CCTV routes (`/api/cctv/*`) use the same keyless checks; their one key-bearing step, the Street View fallback, is skipped for any request with forwarding headers.

 - **Full Content-Security-Policy.** The dev and preview servers send a real CSP (`script-src 'self' 'unsafe-eval' blob:` plus the YouTube, Facebook and X scripts the Nepal event's embedded media loads and the Maps JavaScript API that Street View runs on, with a matching `frame-src` for their players and posts: no inline script and no other script origin; `blob:` covers the object URLs Cesium's bundled workers bootstrap through in the built app), alongside the existing `X-Frame-Options: DENY` and `frame-ancestors 'none'`. `'unsafe-eval'` stays because Knockout, bundled inside Cesium's widgets package, resolves the global object with `eval` at load time and the globe does not initialize without it; styles permit `'unsafe-inline'` and Google Fonts because Vite's dev client injects `<style>` elements.
 
 Allowing `maps.googleapis.com` in `script-src` also trusts its JSONP endpoints, which can bypass the script allowlist if an HTML-injection bug exists; this is an accepted limitation of loading the Maps JavaScript API, alongside the existing `'unsafe-eval'` allowance.

-## Pointer input
-
-`gods-eye-view/input` exports `inputFor(viewer)`, the scene's one input
-dispatcher. Every layer and tool takes its pointer input from it, and so can
-the caller: one `ScreenSpaceEventHandler` per scene, and a click picked once
-and handed to every subscriber.
-
-```js
-import { inputFor } from 'gods-eye-view/input';
-
-const input = inputFor(viewer);
-const off = input.onClick((event) => {
-  if (event.ownerId === 'flights') showFlight(event.id);
-});
-// Later:
-off();
-```
-
-`onClick` runs while no tool holds the pointer (the draw tool, the imagery
-box), so a vertex placed on an aircraft is not also a click on it. Its event
-reads lazily; a subscriber that reads nothing costs no pick:
-

-| `screenPosition`   | Where the user clicked, in CSS pixels; for DOM and overlay hit-tests |
-| `position`         | Where that lands in the pick buffer (corrected under sensor styles)  |
-| `gesture`          | `{ travelPx, durationMs }` of the press, to tell a click from a drag |
-| `pick`             | `scene.pick` at `position`                                           |

-`onPointer(type, fn, { lease })` subscribes to `down`, `move`, `up`, `click`
-or `dblclick`; with a lease it runs only while that lease is current. A tool
-takes its lease with `claimPointer(ownerId)` from the same export (and gives
-it back with `releasePointer(lease)`), which also keeps every ambient
-subscriber off its clicks; `isPointerFree()` and `pointerOwner()` report who
-holds it. `suspendCamera(reason)` and `suppressStockClicks()` return their
-own release: camera input and the viewer's stock select and double-click-track
-come back when the last hold is released, so two holders cannot undo each
-other. The dispatcher owns the camera controller's `enableInputs`: a direct
-write (Cesium's camera flights make one when they start and end) is kept, but
-reads true only while no hold is out. A caller-supplied `createScene` that creates its own viewer registers
-`defer(() => inputFor(viewer).destroy())` right after it; the standalone scene
-does this and returns the dispatcher as `scene.input`.
-
-## Height queries
-
-`gods-eye-view/queries/heights` exports `heightsFor(scene)`, the one place
-height queries go. Layers, tools and the camera ask it instead of calling
-`scene.sampleHeight`, `globe.getHeight`, `scene.clampToHeight` or the
-`*MostDetailed` variants themselves, so a renderer that answers heights another
-way plugs in without touching them.
-
-```js
-import { heightsFor } from 'gods-eye-view/queries/heights';

-const heights = heightsFor(viewer.scene);
-const ground = heights.now({ lon, lat }, { exclude: [ownMarkers] });

-| `clampNow(position, opts)`    | The `Cartesian3` moved onto the drawn surface, or `null`                  |
-| `batch(points, opts)`         | A promise of heights once the most detailed tiles stream; `null` per miss |
-| `clampBatch(positions, opts)` | A promise of clamped copies of the positions; `null` per miss             |
-| `supported()`                 | `{ surface, clamp }`: whether the drawn surface can be queried at all     |
-
-A point is `{ lon, lat }` in degrees or a `Cesium.Cartographic` in radians.
-`against: 'surface'` (the default) reads what is drawn, 3D tiles and globe;
-`against: 'terrain'` reads the loaded terrain tiles alone. `exclude` lists the
-primitives and entities a query sees through. Every miss is `null`, including
-a Cesium throw for missing depth-texture support, and every caller treats it
-as one. Cesium answers `now()` synchronously from the scene, so it costs what
-the direct call did.
-
-## Cesium internals
-
-Core reaches private Cesium fields only through
-`src/render/cesium/internals.js`, one named helper per field (the main and
-offscreen pick views, a billboard's collection, a cluster's point collection,
-the widget's render-loop latch, the WebGL context and whether a camera flight
-is under way). `internals.test.mjs` fails when the installed Cesium stops
-declaring one of them, and when a private field is reached anywhere else.
-Imagery that rations its tile requests states the policy as a hook with
-`withTileRequestHook(provider, { requestImage, credit })` from
-`src/render/cesium/tileRequests.js`, which leaves the provider untouched.

 ### AI HUD Summary (June 2026)
 
 - HUD `SUMMARY` readout requests a five-word intelligence-style summary from `/api/openai/hud-summary` (model `OPENAI_HUD_SUMMARY_MODEL`, default `gpt-5-nano`, minimal reasoning).
-- Input: place/street/nearby-place labels, enabled layers and `feedProvenance`, with layer names as the user sees them; outside English the narration note and per-layer state ids are left out (`overall` carries the state). No model call without a place, street or nearby-place label: the deterministic line is shown.
-- Language: the HUD sends `locale` (part of the dedupe signature); the proxy keeps a shipped locale, English otherwise. Switching language in place drops the reply and aborts the request in flight, so the next tick asks again.
-- Reply: `{summary, feedState}` (`text.format` JSON schema, `feedState` a snapshot state or null). A view that is not nominal needs the matching `feedState`. The HUD adds its own translated tag, state first and layer names last (`STALE | … | LIVE FLIGHTS`), so the warning is never clipped. Outside English a reply falls back when it carries a feed-state id, a translated layer's English name or id, only Latin letters in a non-Latin language, or, with every feed healthy, the UNAVAILABLE word. `get_hud_caption` uses the same check and tag order, in English, and returns `feedState`.
-- The model is asked for at most five words; the proxy keeps up to 80 characters, or 20 for Japanese and Chinese, cut at a word boundary unless the first word is longer. It does not count words, since the model reads a name like Rue de Rivoli as one. Errors and the 5 s timeout fall back to the deterministic line; a camera move during typing shows that line instead of the fragment.
-- `partial` is a feed state of its own, ranked between `fallback` and `nominal`, so one partial layer, or partial plus nominal, reads partial, not off or nominal (HUD, voice view state, `analyst_query`, `brief`, the agent world packet). Its narration note says coverage is incomplete rather than not live.
+- Input is the live basemap label context (place/street/nearby-place labels + enabled layers) — the model is instructed not to infer from coordinates.
+- Output is sanitized to exactly five words; falls back to the deterministic telemetry summary on error/timeout (5s abort); typewriter animation on update.
 - A summary asked for before the camera starts moving never paints over the next view: `moveStart` marks the summary dirty and bumps its revision, as `moveEnd` does, aborts the request in flight and stops a reply still typing; neither a reply nor a fallback line (on an error, the 5 s timeout, the abort, or a failed context build) paints once the revision has moved. A dropped request forgets its signature and a timeout counts as a failure, so the next 15 s tick asks again even over the same place. An interrupted typewriter reply also forgets its signature; fully displayed answers remain reusable.

 - **Measurements and centres are computed on unwrapped longitudes** (`unwrapLongitudes` / `wrapLongitude` in `drawMode.js`, used by `ringAreaM2`, `ringCentroid` and the engine's manual-area anchor). A ~50,000 m² rectangle straddling the antimeridian reads its 0.002° width as 359.998° under raw arithmetic: it measured thousands of square kilometres and anchored on the Greenwich meridian, half a world from the shape. Path length was already safe — haversine is periodic in the longitude delta — and a test pins that so a "fix" cannot break it.
 - **Bounds.** One shape holds at most `MAX_VERTICES` = 512 points; two clicks within 0.5 m are one vertex (that is what makes a double-click finish without leaving a stray point); a vertex that is not a finite on-globe coordinate is refused. A shape that encloses nothing is refused rather than placed: three collinear points are not an area and a line under a metre long is not a line, and the hint says which.
 - Drawn-area measures round before choosing m², ha or km², so 9,999.6 m² displays as `1.0 ha`, not `10000 m²`, and 999,960 m² as `1.00 km²`, not `100.0 ha`.
-- Pointer ownership: while a session is open the tool holds the single pointer claim (`claimPointer('draw')`, `src/data/inputOwnership.js`), and the scene's input dispatcher (`src/input/dispatcher.js`) hands its clicks, moves and double clicks to the draw tool's leased subscriptions only: **every** ambient subscriber — flights, military, CCTV and its calibration gizmo, vessels, satellites, launches, fires, installations, bikeshare, radio, submarine cables, the bundled GeoJSON layers — is skipped for that event before anything is picked. A vertex over an aircraft is a vertex, not a selection.
+- Pointer ownership: while a session is open the tool holds the single pointer claim (`claimPointer('draw')`, `src/data/inputOwnership.js`) and **every** ambient scene selection handler — the shared tracking click gesture behind flights, military and CCTV, plus vessels, satellites, launches, fires, installations, bikeshare, radio, submarine cables, the bundled GeoJSON layers and the CCTV calibration gizmo — returns before picking. A vertex over an aircraft is a vertex, not a selection.
 - **The claim is a LEASE.** `claimPointer(owner)` returns an opaque token or `null`; `releasePointer(lease)` takes that token. A second claim fails even under the same owner name, because two live instances of one tool — an old one mid-teardown and its replacement — are two owners; releasing by name let the old instance free the claim its successor was holding, and every layer started selecting through the live session's vertices. A superseded lease now releases nothing.
-- **Cesium's own click actions are suppressed too.** The Viewer binds a selecting LEFT_CLICK and a tracking LEFT_DOUBLE_CLICK on its own handler, outside every layer and therefore outside the shared claim — guarding the layers alone still left a drawn vertex selecting the entity under it. The tool takes the dispatcher's `suppressStockClicks()` hold for the session; both actions come back, as the same function objects, when the last hold is released (the imagery box takes the same hold).
+- **Cesium's own click actions are borrowed too.** The Viewer binds a selecting LEFT_CLICK and a tracking LEFT_DOUBLE_CLICK on its own handler, outside every layer and therefore outside the shared claim — guarding the layers alone still left a drawn vertex selecting the entity under it.

-# Renderer contract
-
-The renderer contract is what the application asks of a 3D renderer. A
-renderer other than the default Cesium one can draw the same application if
-it meets the contract. The contract is version `0`. Today the application
-still drives Cesium directly; later work moves the layers onto the contract
-one family at a time.
-
-The package exports three modules:
-
-| Export                             | What it is                                                                     |

-| `gods-eye-view/render/contract`    | The types, one `.d.ts` per port, plus the run-time member list and shape check |
-| `gods-eye-view/render/stub`        | A renderer that draws nothing, for tests                                       |
-| `gods-eye-view/render/conformance` | The conformance suite, reference scenes and visual comparison                  |
-
-## Ports
-
-A renderer is created by a `RendererPlugin` (`{ id, create(options) }`). It
-exposes nine ports, each typed in its own file in `src/render/contract/`:
-
-| Port      | File           | Covers                                                                         |
-| --------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
-| `frame`   | `frame.d.ts`   | The render-on-demand loop, frame phases, continuous holds, scene time          |
-| `globe`   | `globe.d.ts`   | Base (photoreal, terrain, vector, imagery), imagery layers, split, sky         |
-| `draw`    | `draw.d.ts`    | Draw sets: icons, points, lines, shapes, models, quads, meshes, fields, agents |
-| `camera`  | `camera.d.ts`  | Pose, views, flights, `lookAt`, follow, user controls, events, matrices        |
-| `query`   | `query.d.ts`   | Picks, projection, rays, heights                                               |
-| `input`   | `input.d.ts`   | Pointer events with their pick made, leases, stock behaviours                  |
-| `effects` | `effects.d.ts` | Screen styles, bloom, sharpen, screen modulation                               |
-| `credits` | `credits.d.ts` | Data credits owed                                                              |
-| `quality` | `quality.d.ts` | Quality knobs, device facts, frame signals, benchmark                          |
-
-The renderer itself (`renderer.d.ts`) adds capture, pixel reads, settling,
-resize, context loss and `destroy`. `common.d.ts` holds the shared shapes
-(ECEF positions, colours, listener semantics) and the capability list.
-
-The rules that hold everywhere:
-
-- **Core keeps its own records.** It never reads a renderer to learn its own
-  state, only what the renderer measures: picks, depth, heights and
-  readiness.
-- **Capabilities.** An optional member (`?`) exists only with the capability
-  its documentation names first. A required member that names a capability
-  always exists, and without the capability it answers null or empty.
-  Quality support is listed by `quality.knobs()`, not by capabilities.
-- **Heights are physical.** All heights are metres above the ellipsoid,
-  unexaggerated. Only drawing follows exaggerated terrain.
-- **Listeners** run in subscription order. A listener removed during
-  delivery does not run; one added during delivery runs from the next event.
-  A listener that throws is reported to the renderer's `error` event, or to
-  the platform's `reportError` when nothing listens for errors. The other
-  listeners, and the frame, still run.
-- **The frame order is fixed:** camera flight → input → camera `changed` →
-  follow → `preUpdate` → move detection → `preRender` → render →
-  `postRender`, the default renderer's own. A camera move made by follow or
-  in `preUpdate` is reported by `changed` on the next frame.
-- **Leases:** a tool takes the pointer with `claimPointer`. With `grab`, it
-  takes only the presses it grabs on `down`; the rest, and wheel and pinch,
-  stay with the camera and everyone else.
-
-`src/render/contract/index.js` lists every member of every port in `PORTS`,
-along with `CAPABILITIES`, `FRAME_STEPS` and `QUALITY_KEYS`.
-`checkRendererShape(renderer)` names each required member that is missing,
-and each capability member present without its capability.
-`contract.test.mjs` type-checks the contract under strict TypeScript, and
-fails when `PORTS` and the types disagree on a single member.
-
-## The stub renderer
-
-`createStubRenderer({ capabilities, viewport, time })` implements every port
-in memory and draws nothing. It has:
-
-- the default camera's exact maths: views, `lookAt`, flights with their
-  height arc and easing, `changed` thresholds and follows;
-- picks against what was drawn, or a scripted table;
-- scripted heights;
-- a virtual clock that nothing advances on its own.
-
-`renderer.testing` drives it with `tick()`, `advance(ms)`, `pointer(type, x, y)`,
-`scriptPicks`, `setHeights` and `cacheHeight`, and records its calls.
-A listener that throws with nothing subscribed to `error` goes to
-`reportError`; Node has none, so the stub rethrows it on a microtask and
-`node:test` fails the running test. A test that expects a throw subscribes
-to `error`.
-The stub passes the whole conformance suite (`src/render/stub/stub.test.mjs`).
-
-## Conformance suite
-
-`runConformance(harness)` runs every check against a renderer through the
-contract alone and reports each one as passed, failed or skipped. It runs in
-Node and in a browser page. A harness tells the suite how to drive the
-renderer under test:
-
-- `create({ viewport, capabilities })`;
-- `frame(r)`: one frame, 1/60 s on a virtual clock;
-- `now(r)` and `toEcef(p)`;
-- `tolerance` and `flightPaths`.
-
-Optional members widen what is checked: `pointer` for synthetic input,
-`scriptHeights`, and `assets.model`.
-
-There are two layers of checks.
-
-**Logic checks** run in CI. They cover:
-
-- the shape check;
-- listener semantics and the frame loop;
-- draw-set bookkeeping, picks and the `meta` round-trip;
-- projection, rays and heights;
-- leases and click picks;
-- imagery order, sky, styles, credits and quality knobs;
-- the camera traces.
-
-**Camera traces.** `cameraScripts.js` lists camera scripts in the contract's
-terms. `scripts/record-camera-goldens.mjs` runs them on Cesium's own
-`Camera`, headless, on a virtual clock, and writes
-`src/render/conformance/goldens/camera.json`. A renderer under test must
-match each recorded pose:
-
-- within 1 mm in position, 1e-9 in unit vectors and angles, and 1e-3 px on
-  screen;
-- with every flight ending within one frame of the recording.
-
-`src/render/cesium/cameraGoldens.test.mjs` fails when the installed Cesium
-no longer records the committed traces. After a Cesium upgrade or a script
-change, run `node scripts/record-camera-goldens.mjs` and review the diff.
-
-**Visual checks** run in the browser. The reference scenes
-(`src/render/conformance/scenes.js`) are built from contract calls only:
-
-- one scene per primitive family;
-- a city scene;
-- a calibration path from orbit down to the street.
-
-The scenes load nothing from the network.
-
-`npm run dev`, then open `/dev/conformance/`. The page can:
-
-- **Run logic suite (stub)** runs the logic checks in the browser.
-- **Record references** draws every scene the chosen renderer supports.
-  It saves each view to `src/render/conformance/goldens/visual/`, through a
-  dev-server-only endpoint.
-- **Check scenes** draws the scenes again and compares each capture with its
-  reference. Pixels are compared as pixelmatch compares them: by YIQ
-  difference (threshold 0.1), with antialiasing in either image excused. A
-  capture matches when at most 250 pixels are unexcused and at most 2 are
-  solid (a differing pixel whose four neighbours differ too). Between them
-  the two catch a dropped 4 px point, a dropped 2 px line and a 1 px shift
-  of the view, and pass any MSAA setting. A change nowhere 3 px thick (a
-  thin line gone, an item moved a pixel or two) that covers at most 250 px
-  passes. `visual.js` has the measurements.
-  The page shows the capture, the reference and the difference side by side.
-
-`window.conformance.runScenes()` and `runLogic()` do the same from a script.
-Browser checks use the chrome-devtools MCP against a page in its own window.
-
-The Cesium scene renderer (`src/render/cesium/sceneRenderer.js`) draws the
-icon, point, line, shape, model and city scenes, and the references were
-recorded with it. It has only the members the scenes need. The quad, mesh,
-field, agent and orbit scenes have no reference yet. Each family's reference
-is recorded when the Cesium renderer gains that family.
-
-Some behaviour is only drawn, so the logic checks cannot see it: course
-easing (`courseBlendMs`, `courseGlide`), and a hidden row keeping its eased
-course. The stub keeps no drawn course. These wait for scenes that capture
-an icon mid-turn. Height queries that count a set
-(`includeInHeightQueries`) are not checked either: the stub's heights are
-scripted, so it does not model them. Nor are video frames (a check needs a
-video), `fetchTile` (the stub fetches nothing) or what clouds and water
-draw.

-   * gap-proof handoff: "hand off ONLY once the model renders"), and a tracked model
-   * is retained but hidden whenever the model regime is off — 3D disabled, camera
-   * zoomed past the ceiling, or cockpit mode. Gating on `has()`/existence therefore
-   * suppressed the clamp in exactly the states where the BILLBOARD is the visual,
-   * putting the burial straight back.
-   *
-   * Cesium's own default `show === true` is the reason admission clears it
-   * explicitly: a fleet model registered in `_models` the instant its glTF resolves
-   * would otherwise claim ownership — at the identity matrix — for the frames
-   * between admission and the next fleet tick, while the BILLBOARD was still the
-   * visual. Ownership means actually rendering, and every site that sets `show`
-   * true does so only after committing a matrix.
-   *
-   * The two halves:
-   *  - Fleet: the rendering test alone. Safe for the ground snap either way,
-   *    because a fleet model is positioned from the RAW dead-reckon, not from
-   *    the billboard.
-   *  - Tracked: the rendering test AND `_trackedModelRegimeActive()`. The tracked
-   *    model is fed from `_trackedDisplayPosition`, so once it is live the clamp
-   *    must stand aside: two different chains would otherwise be deciding one
-   *    contact's ground, and the billboard's is the one the operator is not
-   *    looking at (T7). The regime check is what makes a regime
-   *    flip take effect on the same frame rather than waiting for
-   *    `_updateTrackedModel` to clear `show`; the rendering test is what keeps a
-   *    null or still-loading tracked model from claiming a visual it is not
