Changelog

This changelog records public product changes. For the authoritative description of current runtime behavior, see docs/CURRENT-STATE.md.

[Unreleased] — 2026-08-24

Added

• Added honest aircraft identity narration: callsign, operator, registration, type, and route come only from selected-contact context, and missing operator, route, or type enrichment is named explicitly.
• Added local, publication-compatible copies of the two README PNGs, with source records and third-party-license boundaries in docs/media/README.md.
• Added regression coverage for aircraft identity narration and optional-key loading feedback.

Changed

• First-run presentation now opens with Detection DENSE at 75%, ELASTIC allocation, Fade 7%, Outside 1%, scope feather 11%, and aircraft 3D models in PROXIMITY. Stored state and share links still override these baselines.
• The 17 selected README GIFs remain unchanged and are documented separately from the two owner-published PNGs.
• Bundled datacenter and dam snapshots now omit contact-oriented fields and note values containing email or phone identifiers. Feature geometry, names, operator/capacity/river metadata, counts, and ODbL terms are unchanged.
• Public documentation and the L9 release matrix no longer reference non-public planning material or repository history.

Fixed

• A missing optional FIRMS key no longer turns the complete Environmental mission into LOAD FAILED. The FIRMS row still reports KEY REQUIRED, while earthquakes continue to load. Real lifecycle and fetch failures retain failure priority.
• The mapped-installations layer retries after an unavailable request when it is enabled or the camera settles.
• Aircraft trails attach to the rendered aircraft transform and remain near the rear center across headings. Parked aircraft do not draw a moving head segment.
• Grounded aircraft keep validated floor evidence through temporary terrain outages and wait for measured photoreal-surface evidence before a 3D model takes over from its billboard.
• Cockpit altitude uses aviation MSL data rather than Cesium render height.

Security

• Production transitive dependencies resolve to patched DOMPurify and protobufjs releases without changing the Cesium version or application APIs.
• Production dependency audit reports no known advisories; remaining audit findings are confined to development and QA tooling.

[Unreleased] — 2026-08-23

Added

• Added a first-run mission launcher for Contacts, Space Missions, Environmental, and manual exploration.
• Added terrain-validity gating and bounded last-known placement for grounded aircraft models.

Changed

• Environmental consistently presents both earthquakes and NASA FIRMS fires, with honest optional-key degradation.
• The tracked aircraft trail acceptance bar is visual: roughly rear-center, stable across headings, with minor hull overlap allowed and no conspicuous top, bottom, or lateral projection.

[Unreleased] — 2026-08-18 to 2026-08-22

Added

• Added the four-source Map Source tray, share-link v2 state, cockpit/context voice parity, MSL altitude readouts, and close-range tracked aircraft models.
• Added the L9 release-candidate matrix, AIS feed watchdog, voice cost controls, satellite classes, and the shared world-overlay host.
• Added deterministic first-run, map-source, floor, overlay, tracking, and aircraft-model regression harnesses.

Changed

• Consolidated world labels, cards, tracked readouts, CCTV thumbnails, cable labels, mission labels, and detection presentation under shared allocation and lifecycle rules.
• Reduced idle rendering through the render governor and explicit scope mask.
• Improved cockpit layout, context restoration, keyless feed honesty, and aircraft 2D/3D handoffs.

Fixed

• Fixed degenerate depth picks, map-source restore states, route-camera motion, bright-ground label readability, grounded display flooring, and cross-layer tracking cleanup.
• Fixed stale overlay callbacks, parked-idle render leaks, cable-label sweep starvation, and several share-link state conflicts.

[Unreleased] — 2026-08-02 to 2026-08-16

Added

• Added Global Context modes, Cockpit briefing surfaces, Radio context, satellite mission replay, and real per-class aircraft models with adjacent provenance records.
• Added a shared screen-space overlay system with bounded allocation for labels, cards, callouts, detection brackets, and selected-object presentation.

Changed

• Unified right-side product controls and responsive cockpit/map layouts.
• Migrated public-safe neighborhood geometry to DataSF and tightened safe local development defaults.
• Improved proxy resilience, annotation outline bounds, CCTV enable pacing, contact de-emphasis, and deterministic visual stacking.

[Unreleased] — July 2026

Added

• Added live NASA FIRMS fires, optional live TomTom traffic, Caltrans and TfL CCTV packs, CCTV viewsheds and direct-manipulation calibration, citywide CCTV cards, Natural Earth regions, analyst queries, and voice routing QA.
• Added the end-to-end vertical-datum system for aircraft, vessels, CCTV, annotations, trails, and terrain-aware rendering.
• Added aircraft class silhouettes, path-derived display heading, ADSBDB enrichment, cached CelesTrak TLE lookup, and next-ISS-pass prediction.

Fixed

• Fixed elevated-airport aircraft placement, vessel sea-surface placement, close-zoom FIRMS anchors, antimeridian region framing, annotation resolution, cross-layer tracking ownership, and CCTV projection lifecycle issues.

[Unreleased] — June 2026

Added

• Added OpenAI Realtime voice control, scene-aware entity context, viewport image grounding, the AI HUD summary, live AIS vessels, infrastructure layers, map source switching, free-text navigation, and server-side data proxies.
• Added hybrid map annotations, 3D aircraft, panoptic detection, tracking harnesses, and public data attribution.
• Added MIT source licensing, security guidance, contribution guidance, data source notices, and third-party asset boundaries.

Changed

• Removed the experimental AI video-edit style and retained seven deterministic visual styles.
• Moved Realtime text-history trimming to the server-side retention policy while keeping only the latest viewport image in conversation context.

[0.7.0] — 2026-02-18

• Added the Bikeshare Pulse layer and panoptic label improvements.
• Improved tracked-item boxes, post-render alignment, and CCTV projection quality.
• Removed the experimental shift-drag CCTV calibration interaction.

[0.6.0] — 2026-02-10

• Added the initial multi-layer 3D globe experience, visual styles, live aircraft, satellites, earthquakes, CCTV, traffic, FIRMS, infrastructure, and performance controls.
• Added entity inspection, tracking, scenes, keyboard controls, and shareable views.

[0.1.0] — 2026-02-09

• Initial project version.
