fix: the sky meets the sea, and the places rail admits it scrolls
Two defects a photograph found and no gate could. **The sky seam.** A phone held upright drew a hard horizontal step across the top 10.5% of the frame — a flat duller slab above a warm gradient, meeting in one pixel. Painting the sky dome red proved the slab was the dome itself and everything below the line was sea; so this was never missing geometry, it was two halves of one join disagreeing about a colour. The sea is a flat plane, so however wide it is made the camera's own far plane cuts it at an elevation *below* the horizontal — about 12 degrees in a plan view of the state. atmosphere.ts has fogged it to exactly the horizon colour by then, which is the entire mechanism by which water dissolves into sky instead of ending in an edge. The dome at that same angle has to be the same number, and it was not: the below-horizon darkening ramped to its full 0.82 over the first 11.5 degrees. The sea arrived at the horizon colour and met a sky already a fifth darker. Measured 155,107,99 against 127,88,81 across one pixel. Holding the horizon's own colour for the first 30 degrees costs nothing the darkening was for — a floor or an ocean covers that band whenever there is one, and where there is not, matching is the whole point. Measured after: the worst single-row step anywhere in the sky falls from 15/255 to 8, and the 8 is water texture rather than a line. render/skyHorizonSeam.test.ts parses the shader text, which is a weaker instrument than a frame and the strongest one available with no GL context. It asserts the one number the picture proved wrong — how far down the dome still paints the horizon colour — and it caught a real off-by-a-hair while being written: 0.42 is sin(24.8 deg), just inside the 25 deg the sea can reach. It also guards the backtick-in-a-template-literal trap that has now broken this same shader three times. **The places rail.** Its cap is min(22rem, 42vh) and rows are variable height, so it always landed mid-row, and a row sliced through its own text reads as a button that failed to draw rather than as more list. markOverflow writes data-overflow and the stylesheet fades whichever end has list behind it. Every measurement in it is guarded, because ui/mount.ts is deliberately tested with no DOM at all: no geometry must mean no attribute, not data-overflow=NaN. A pixel of slack at each end, because fractional layout reports a fully-scrolled list a fraction short and a fade that never switches off dims a row over nothing. stylesheet.test.ts asserts the two files still speak the same four words — nothing else connects them and the failure is silent. 1,664 + 295 tests, all gates, budget 779,789 tri / 150 draws / p95 16.7 ms.

feat: the boards stop being three products
The owner asked twice why there are still three separate boards. The honest answer, and what this round executes: **it feels like three boards, but not because the scale jumps 20x — because the three packs draw three different Californias, and the loudest difference is that the mountains are four times taller on one of them.** **THE 20x HORIZONTAL SCALE JUMP IS INVISIBLE**, and measuring that collapsed the cost of this whole round. `World.project` is a uniform scale in x/z with no vertical term, and a uniform scale leaves a perspective image identical — so a camera carried across the seam on matched true-metre offsets draws a pixel-identical horizontal frame. 1,919 -> 94 m/unit costs nothing to look at. Rescaling was never the problem. A boot card, a tab strip and a 4.17x vertical deflation were. **THE PAUSE WAS MOSTLY FAKE.** A switch covered the screen for 1,715 ms but only 608 ms blocked the main thread; the page drew 46 of 69 frames with nothing to show, because the outgoing board had already been disposed. `mountCity` now retains it: the incoming board builds BEHIND a live, interactive picture, and `stage.setScene` fires only on completion. Measured across all six directions, three runs each — boot card yes -> **no**, opaque cover 726-1,415 ms -> **0**, blank frames 21-46 -> **exactly 1**, wall clock down 12-29%, blocked main thread down 15-47%. A return to a board already seen links **zero** shader programs and blocks **zero** milliseconds: 298-312 ms of camera flight where it was ~1,600 ms behind a card. Disposal had been throwing away the shader cache too — linkProgram ran 38, 59, 78, 109, 127 across five mounts and never reused one. **The transition is a fog dip, not a crossfade**, through the `setAerialFog` seam built last round. Every both-boards-live crossfade breaks a budget — ca+sf is 2,640,307 triangles against bay-area's 2,600,000 cap — and a fade never lands inside the harness's sample window, which is the "a cap you do not measure is a cap you do not have" failure this repo already argues against. The dip costs zero triangles and zero draw calls, and it hides the 4.17x deflation, the 4,025 m projection disagreement and the vanishing 2 km freeway symbols at once, because all three happen at maximum obscuration. It is also diegetic: a descent through haze. The first dip was wrong and the photograph caught it: collapsing to 6% of board SPAN turned the whole night frame into one flat field — the exact "turns the map off" failure the risk list named. Re-anchored to 70% of camera STAND-OFF, so the coastline survives and only the relief melts. **One ladder, one places list.** 26 authored chapters become 24 rungs sorted descending by STAND-OFF, not altitude — by altitude they interleave badly and altitude cannot tell a low oblique from a high plan. The three-board tab strip is off by default; the left column is now one scrolling list of all 24 rungs under three region headings that does not change when the board does. Only which row is lit changes. Label collisions are resolved in the ladder and never in a pack, so the 29 index-aimed capture guards are untouched. The minimap stops turning through 90 degrees between boards: every board is pinned to a rectangle with California's proportions. **SF and SoCal are not regressed**, and that was the acceptance that mattered: 95.9-98.8% of board pixels are delta-0 against a baseline hash-verified identical to what the live site serves, and every one of the 34-70 surviving pixels per frame is an aircraft or a hull. **A real defect found only by photograph:** `minimap.setMarkers()` had zero call sites. Every marker on every board was gone — the LA studio's door dot, the Bay Area's eight company markers — dropped when the minimap went per-board. Typecheck, tests, budgets and the console were all green with that bug in. Also fixed: two capture presets that lied. `look.mjs`'s `glyph-la` and `glyph-sf` claimed California chapter closeups and returned SoCal and Bay Area frames, because they aimed by chapter index and the indices had moved. Aiming is now by identity, with a guard test. NOT SHIPPED, DELIBERATELY: the pack merge. At Bay density it is 34.04M triangles, 13x the highest budget — dead, not a trade. At SoCal density it is 1.99M and fits today, and the price is San Francisco rendering at 164 m lots instead of 40 m, i.e. SF looking the way SoCal looks now. SF and SoCal carry every marketing still on the site. That is the owner's decision and it is worthless as an argument and decisive as a photograph, so it ships as a measurement artifact with a side-by-side still and is wired into nothing. The four data reconciliations that would make one world honest — one exaggeration rule, roads in metres, one projection centre, one coastline convention — are behind TERA_RECONCILE, default OFF. Tests 1,570 -> 1,651, server 295. All ten budget cells pass, no cap raised. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

feat: the crane grows a mast, the harbour works a shift, and the site is re-shot
**The Asset Factory verdict, and it mostly went against the vote.** Nine candidates were thumbed up. One was taken. TOOK the STS crane. Rebuilt in `ports.ts` from 5 unit boxes to 11 — an A-frame mast and apex cap, a forestay to the boom, a backstay to the tail, a sill, the truck-lane portal beam, a machinery house — still exactly ONE InstancedMesh. What was missing is the thing that makes a gantry a gantry: on a real STS the tallest part of a WORKING crane is the A-frame apex, not the boom, and a parked raised boom clears its own apex by only 15-25%. Before, 56 gantries read from altitude as 56 crosses — two coincident verticals with one bar through them and nothing above it — so a berth flattened into a picket fence. Proportions came from both upvoted candidates agreeing independently (hinge ~58 m under an apex at 99-104 m), taken conservatively because Tera's packs already author an 82 m hinge against a real 55-60. The apex beacon came across as EMISSION: `craneLights()` returns bare positions, `nightlights.ts` turns them into one additive Points cloud, 56 points, one draw call, night only, no THREE.Light anywhere. 0.09 units was invisible against the port's own cream emissive; 0.17 — half a bridge head light — is right, and the screenshot at 0.09 is what condemned it. REJECTED all three bridges, city-lights and both aircraft: the incumbents won on the picture, decisively for the bridge. TWO PARTS WERE BUILT FROM THE APPROVED CANDIDATES, PHOTOGRAPHED, AND CUT. Four legs: 14 m of quay spacing is 0.036 units at 391 m/unit against a 0.032 member floor, so 90% overlap. A portal X-brace: the bay is 0.115 wide by 0.38 tall, so both diagonals come out near-vertical and add a lump at mid-leg. Both are among the best things about the factory cranes AT THE FACTORY'S FRAMING. Neither survives at board scale. That gap is the whole reason a factory asset is reference geometry and not a drop-in. Fixed a defect the rebuild exposed: the backreach started a full rail-gauge behind the hinge, leaving a gap over the portal with the beam floating below it. One unbroken girder now. And every inclined member goes through a `strut()` that takes two points in the (distance-along-boom, height) plane, so the vertical-exaggeration bug the module header warns about is no longer reachable — it needs a length and an angle, and there is now no way to start from those. **The harbour works a shift.** It was a frozen tableau: 19 hulls placed from the pack's berths that never changed. Vessels now arrive through the channel, are met by a tug, berth, work and depart — seeded, so two people see the same harbour and a capture script shoots the same frame twice. A ship loses its wake when it ties up, because the wake is the information. **Every still and film re-shot.** The site was showing a Tera that no longer existed — SHOTS_COMMIT |

fix(satellites): declare uPixelRatio, which was breaking the layer in production
`ShaderMaterial` prepends three's own built-ins — projectionMatrix,
modelViewMatrix, position — but it does NOT prepend the custom uniforms declared
in the `uniforms` object. `uPixelRatio` was in that object and never declared in
the GLSL, so the vertex program failed to compile with
ERROR: 0:79: 'uPixelRatio' : undeclared identifier
and the whole satellite dome silently drew nothing on the deployed site while
every other layer carried on. The only symptom was a console error nobody was
reading — which is exactly why the deploy check now opens the page and greps the
console rather than trusting a 200.
Found by screenshotting the LIVE site after deploying, not by any test: no test
in this repo compiles a shader, `npm run build` cannot, and `ui-smoke` passed
because the page boots fine with one layer missing.
Verified after the fix at two hours on two boards: zero shader errors, where the
deployed build had one on every load.

feat: the state becomes California, and the port fills with ships
**Stage 1 of one California.** The owner's complaint had two halves and this is
the first: the state board was a CROPPED SLAB. `california.ts` stopped at 38.05 N,
so the board disagreed with its own minimap about the shape of California in a
single frame, and Bug Fire's 93,733 acres burned off-frame while the panel said
all clear. Bounds now run 32.50-42.05 N / -124.50 to -114.0 W — Cape Mendocino,
the ruled Oregon parallel, the 120th-meridian corner into the Nevada diagonal.
**And it got cheaper.** 391,169 triangles to 375,351, while gaining the North
Coast, the Sacramento Valley, the Klamath knot, the Cascade arc, Shasta at 4,320 m
and Lassen at 3,190 m. Extending the bounds alone would have doubled the lattice
to 168,813 points and blown the mobile cap; coarsening cellLat 0.022 -> 0.0312 and
cellLng 0.027 -> 0.0383 holds it at ~83,800. The cell as a FRACTION of the board
moves 0.0030 -> 0.0033 — unchanged in frame — because the camera retreats to frame
whatever it is given. That argument was already written in the pack's own comment.
The second half — three boards becoming one world you zoom through — is NOT here.
Merging at Bay density would be 34.04M triangles, 13x the highest budget, and
merging at SoCal density would downgrade San Francisco from 40 m lots to 164 m.
Both delete the board every marketing still is shot from. `sf.ts` and `socal.ts`
are untouched by design.
**Aerial perspective, which the state board could not have had before.** The old
fog started at 1.15 board spans = 944 km, on a board whose longest diagonal is
820 km — so no pixel could ever be fogged. Fog now responds to camera altitude,
clamped to the authored pair as a ceiling.
`Atmosphere.aerial(env, view)` is a second pure method returning `{ near, far }`
and **deliberately no colour**. That is structural, not stylistic: it is why a
future camera-dependent term cannot reach `environmentKey()`'s colour fingerprint
and start rebuilding the PMREM cubemap on every camera step. Coarsening the
fingerprint instead would have hidden one instance and armed the mechanism. A
mutation-tested seam guard fails if anyone merges the two paths back together.
**The port.** Terminal Island rendered as a bare tan polygon with generic white
blocks while the chapter text called it the busiest port complex in the
hemisphere. Now six container yards drawn as canvas atlases, 56 gantry cranes at
varied boom angles, the 13 km San Pedro breakwater, the dredged channel. Five
buckets merging ACROSS ports the way airports.ts merges across fields, so a
second complex costs no extra draws: +11 draws and +4,377 triangles for all of it.
At vertical exaggeration 3.4 a 130 m gantry is 1.132 units tall against a 400 m
ship's 1.024 long — the crane is the taller object, and it is what makes a port
read as a port from altitude.
**Ships, and the wake carries the information.** Moored hulls have no foam,
verified at three terminals; a tug under way in the Main Channel trails a clean
Kelvin V. One hull geometry, one InstancedMesh, orientation from the BERTH rather
than the wire. The AIS gate strips sog 102.3, heading 511 and cog 360 — all mean
"not available" — with an explicit test that cog 358.7 SURVIVES, because a naive
range check on cog eats real headings near north.
"Empty or full" is not in AIS position reports and is not invented per ship. The
honest answer is at port level and is a better story: 348,691 of 460,467 boxes
left Los Angeles empty in July 2026, corroborated by FBX01 $7,491 inbound against
FBX02 $347 outbound.
**Radar and birds ship dark, and say why.** California is 0.47% wet and migration
is nocturnal and seasonal, so both layers have nothing to say on most days. The
panel reads "No radar feed is configured, so this board draws no weather. That is
a fact about this box, not about the sky."
Also recorded, and it matters beyond this commit: **the GPU on amd-server never
leaves 500 MHz of a possible 2725**, traced across 80 seconds of sustained load.
`bay-area/desktop` is fragment-bound at that clock and sits on the vsync deadline,
so a trivial change in fragment work flips it between 16.8 and 33.3 with geometry
identical to the digit. Every frame-time number measured on this box is a floor.
Two investigations reached two different wrong conclusions from single-run
comparisons before this was traced. Geometry is the gate; frame time is advisory.
No cap was raised.
Tests 1,340 -> 1,540, server 280 -> 295.

feat: real fire on the boards, the LA office as a twin, and a night sky worth reading
The world stops being a simulation of California and starts being California. **THE PROMOTION GATE WAS THE FIRST COMMIT, BEFORE ANY ORANGE PIXEL EXISTED.** On today's live store the SoCal board contains 22 incidents. Every one has NULL acreage and fifteen are nameless LA County dispatch numbers. Drawn naively that is 22 orange marks over Los Angeles on a day nothing is burning — in a frame that contains no other warm colour, so one glyph would be the most salient object on the board and twenty-two would spend its credibility permanently. `acres >= 10 AND contained < 80 AND type != 'RX' AND last_seen = max(last_seen)` returns 0 on SoCal, exactly 5 on California, 0 on the Bay — same body, same day, three correct answers. The empty board is a deliverable, not a fallback: it says "No active fire on this board — CAL FIRE and WFIGS, just now", states that 21 records were gated and why, lists the largest fires burning OUTSIDE the frame with distances, and counts the hot pixels it is deliberately not drawing. **The privacy leak is structurally impossible rather than carefully avoided.** cloud-1 serves a projection; the four home-relative columns never leave that box. `observations.threat` was the one that nearly got through — it is `(16/distance)^2 x log10(acres) x momentum x containment x wind-alignment`, so with acreage and containment public it inverts to a distance circle around a house and three fires give an intersection. A grep of the built bundle for distance_km, bearing_deg, threat, 7762 and the street name returns nothing. **Deliberately not used, and both would have produced a confident wrong answer:** the store's `air` table retains only the last parameter of each poll, so all 78 rows read "Good" while the live feed reports ozone 101 "Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups" — haze driven off it would clear the sky during a smoke event. And `weather` is written only inside the NWS alerts loop, so a quiet day stores no wind at all. Tera's own per-region NWS wind is already correct and already what the clouds drift on. Satellite detections are drawn as evidence and never as incidents. The permanent industrial heat source 4.7 km from the owner's house is flagged persistent and dropped, asserted by a test that first proves it is present in the fixture. MODIS integer confidence and VIIRS string confidence are branched on `sat`. **The LA office is a twin.** Its entire authored second storey — Model Loft, Model Bay, The Materials Room, 430 lines nobody had ever stood in — is reachable on foot: a walker crosses level-1 to level-2 in 73 fixed steps, floorY 0 to 5, verified against the real pack rather than a synthetic plan. Its two studio devices read real hardware through a field-allowlisted bridge: mute, volume and reachability only. Never level, because there is no passive level upstream and obtaining one would record a room with people in it. Never dB, because upstream is gainPct across four different native scales. The bridge refuses all writes. Fixed at its root: an anonymous visitor was getting permanently at-rest instruments backing off against a 401. The tier moves into `createDeviceSource`, so anon gets the living simulator three file headers already promised. **Item 8 is closed, not fixed, and the correction is the point.** The Bay Area "stutter" was GPU power management — the card sat at 500 MHz of 2725 through every run that reproduced it, 4096/2048/1024/256 shadow maps all render in 1.21-1.31 ms, and two consecutive runs over a byte-identical dist gave 33.4 then 16.7. The allowance is removed and the cell is back to 16.7. Geometry is the gate; frame time is advisory. Item 7 was re-scoped after measuring: 1,069,006 of the Bay Area's 2,265,056 triangles were the second submission of the same buildings into the shadow pass. Mobile now has its own triangle caps and bay-area mobile draws 1,266,096. Also: bridges and the freeway corridor light up at night as emission, not lights — 1,614 deck lamps and 18 tower heads on the Bay in two draw calls. The single change that made US-101 legible was moving its edge lines from the lit material to the unlit one: retroreflective paint, the argument the SFO night frame already makes. California went 21,991 lamps to 4,051, clustered at the 17 town districts, because a rural interurban corridor genuinely is unlit. Tests 1137 -> 1340, server 280. All ten budget cells pass on first attempt with no cap raised. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

feat: SFO, LAX, both bridges, a road that reads as a road, and aeroplanes that move
**The aeroplanes were stuck because the wire could not describe motion.** `WireAircraft` carried position, altitude and heading and nothing else, so the client could only interpolate between the last two observations: every aircraft replayed a segment it had already flown, arrived at the newest known point, and sat still until the next poll landed five to fifteen seconds later. The feed had the missing numbers the whole time and the server threw them away. Sampled live from `api.adsb.lol/v2/point` while writing this — `gs` ground speed, `track`, `baro_rate`, plus `r` registration and `t` type designator. They are on the wire now in SI, aircraft dead-reckon along their own track and correct toward the truth when a fix lands, and the click card an anonymous visitor gets says "B739 · N68834". That last part is the enrichment FR24 was wanted for, obtained from an ODbL feed we may actually republish. **SFO and LAX exist.** A new `engine/airports.ts` composes an airport from runways, taxiways, aprons and terminal masses, with markings drawn on a canvas rather than modelled; the pattern of the runways is what the eye recognises from altitude, long before any building does. SFO is the two crossing pairs on the bay fill; LAX is the four parallels either side of the terminal horseshoe, plus the Southland fields under the traffic that actually flies there. **The Golden Gate and the Bay Bridge are those bridges.** One kit in `engine/bridges.ts`, because a suspension bridge is a repeated tower, a catenary main cable, a series of hangers and a deck — so both are configurations rather than two private implementations. The Bay Bridge carries the real 2013 topology: two suspension towers west of Yerba Buena, one east, then the piered causeway. The freeway stopped being a wireframe overlay and became a road, with shoulders, a median, and lane markings as texture. **And the board got faster while all of that landed.** California went from 728,744 triangles and 562 draw calls to 391,169 and 371 — headroom from 2.8% to 47.8%. The Bay Area board is 506,550 triangles lighter than before this work. Two things paid for it: - `transmission: 0.08` on the aircraft cockpit glass. three.js runs a full transmission backdrop pass whenever any rendered material has transmission above zero, re-drawing the entire opaque scene into a second target every frame — so the city was rendering terrain, every block and every freeway piece TWICE. Measured by patching only that number in a copy of the built bundle: 703,267 tris / 562 draws with it, 398,608 / 371 without. The material was already `transparent: true, opacity: 0.86`, so it was buying nothing. - Flatness-adaptive terrain LOD, which collapses runs of lattice cells wherever the height and colour agree with the quad replacing them. The coastline is provably untouched — a patch collapses only when every point is on land and agrees about `park` — and a test asserts the drawn footprint matches the cell-by-cell area to 1e-6. `createTerrain` got *faster*: the vertices it stops emitting cost more than the flatness scan costs to run. **The budget now watches the boards this was built on.** There was no `bay-area` or `socal` cell — so SFO, LAX and both bridges all landed in frames nothing measured, which is how a cap you do not have looks from the inside. Both are in the matrix now with caps set from measurement, and the rationale lives in the harness because JSON cannot hold a comment. Two known defects ship with this, both recorded in TODO.md rather than hidden: - `bay-area.desktop` drops about one frame in twenty (p50 16.7, p95 33.3). It is desktop-only and not fill rate — mobile runs the same 2.26 M triangles at a comparable pixel count and holds 16.7 flat — which points at the 2048 shadow map desktop uses against handheld's 1024. Measured at the commit before this work with the same harness: identical p95 33.3. Pre-existing, and invisible until the cell existed. - The aeroplane glyph is still about 1.5x the Golden Gate's main span at chapter zoom, down from 2.5x. `GLYPH_MAX_SCALE` is 52 because the raw scale at the far end of the California orbit is 51.0 at a 60-degree field of view, and 26 — tried first — put the glyph at 0.0123 of the frame against the 0.012 where the wings stop resolving. The real fix is to clamp against the camera's focus distance rather than the aircraft's, which is a signature change. Tests 1020 -> 1137. Typecheck, build, eight budget cells, no-binaries, provenance, zero-config boot, dependency licences, arena source hashes and the UI smoke across two viewports and two access tiers all pass.

fix: make the app boot on an insecure origin, and re-aim the capture harness
Three things, all found by trying to re-shoot the product imagery and failing.
**`crypto.randomUUID` is secure-context only.** `main.ts` called it at module top
level for its three wire identities, so on any origin that is not HTTPS and not
`localhost` the call threw before the scene was built and the app stopped at
"Starting up" with one TypeError and no other symptom. Every way a developer
normally opens this app is a secure context — `vite dev` and `vite preview` serve
localhost, the deployed site is HTTPS — which is why this survived since

feat: give the boards a horizon, a sea that reflects, and a state worth flying over
The wide shot, which is what an anonymous visitor actually lands on. **The sea was `MeshLambertMaterial`** — a material with no specular term at all, by construction — on a board where water is half the frame. It is now a low-roughness dielectric that reads `scene.environment`, with a runtime-generated tiling swell normal map sampled twice per fragment at two scales and two headings, so the sun breaks into a moving glitter path instead of a mirror point. An `onBeforeCompile` patch takes the body colour toward the deep value looking straight down and leaves it to the reflection at grazing, and walks roughness up past 1.6 board spans so the far water cannot shimmer. The swell spectrum is 1/k^2 and not 1/k because the first attempt was photographed: at 1/k every component carries the same slope, the shortest wave wins, and the sea renders as hard diagonal corduroy. A test holds it now. **The board no longer ends in a diamond.** The sea plane went from 1.8 board spans to 18, past the fog's far plane from anywhere the orbit reaches, and the sky is a world-space dome rather than a screen-space gradient. That gradient was wrong in a way dusk made obvious: the sunset band was painted along the *bottom* of the picture, under the board, while the true horizon at the top of frame stayed zenith blue. `daylight.ts` pinning the horizon stop to the fog colour to hide the seam was a symptom of it. **Terrain casts shadows.** Left off before because double-sided terrain against a ~16 m-per-texel shadow map gives acne; `shadowSide = BackSide` is the cure, shot at four sun elevations down to +0.0 degrees to confirm no stippling. The caster is a stride-2 decimation appended to the same index buffer and swapped in by `onBeforeShadow`/`onAfterShadow` via `drawRange`: no extra draw call, a quarter of the depth cost, and indistinguishable from the full-resolution caster in a side-by-side crop. Stride 1 was measured at +65,566 triangles and would have missed the budget by ~47,000, so it was not shipped. **California reads as California.** It was a beige kite: the eastern edge one ruled line for five degrees of latitude, the south closing in a diagonal V, the whole south-east a featureless tan wedge. Now the coast runs to the Mexican border with San Diego on it, the eastern edge follows the Colorado and the Nevada diagonal, and the south-east is the Basin and Range — forty parallel desert ridges throwing shadows east, Death Valley as a white pan between the Panamints and the Black Mountains, the Salton Sea the one cool value for two hundred kilometres. The opening pose is retuned to the bigger board; the old 452/392 stand-off left a slab of empty ocean where the state should be. **The aircraft were six pixels.** Measured, by enlarging a screenshot 200% to find one at all — indistinguishable from a dead pixel, on a board whose entire claim is that the sky is live. They are airliners now, with planform and trail, and clicking one raises its card for a signed-out visitor. **The Model X is off the wall.** It stood at floor level outside a studio 188 m up a Transbay tower, reading as a car balanced on a parapet. The apron is now chosen from `site.elevation`, which the pack already carries — not from an office id, which is the bug class this repo already hit once when a door marker gated on `id === "sf"` and would have pinned the Los Angeles building to San Francisco. Also fixed, and nearly shipped: sea z-fighting dithered every flat piece of ground on the Bay Area and SoCal boards. And one test asserted an exact source line for the water material, so the better multi-line implementation failed it — it now asserts the property (dielectric, metalness 0, low roughness) rather than the author's first guess at formatting. Tests 964 -> 1015. California desktop 562/650 draw calls and 728,744/750,000 triangles — 2.8% of triangle headroom left, which is the number the next person should check first. No budget was raised.

fix(ui): give the rail its own short labels instead of the sheet's sentences
The corner rail rendered `Shortcut.meaning`, which is written for the `?` sheet where a full sentence is exactly right because somebody is reading a reference. The rail is a glance over a moving 3D board with room for one line, and it is a `flex-wrap` container: the sentence wrapped, and the wrapped line drew straight through the chip beneath it. On the deployed build "Fly to a chapter of the tour, or to a viewpoint inside a studio" and "Walk into the studio, or step back out to the city" overlapped and neither could be read, over a bright sky with no background to hide it. Nothing errored — it just looked broken, on every screen. Two labels for two jobs. `Shortcut.rail` carries the two-or-three-word form for the nine ids `railHints` can select; `meaning` keeps the sentence for the sheet. `.hint` also had no `line-height`, so it inherited the body's and a wrapped chip had nowhere to go, and no `max-width`, so the rail grew leftward until it met the mode pill. Chips are now `white-space: nowrap`: wrapping belongs between chips, which the flex container already does, not inside one. Tested, because this is a defect a test can hold: every id the rail can return must have a `rail` label, it must fit on a line, and it must not contain a clause.

feat: tone-mapped render rig, studio devices, LA fidelity pass, UI overhaul
The build the studios needed, across eight workstreams and one strict file partition. **The render rig was the quality ceiling.** The renderer ran three's NoToneMapping default while atmosphere drove the sun to 2.35 and assets set emissives to 3.2, so every value above 1.0 hard-clipped to flat white — which is why walls blew out and every fitting looked like a white rectangle. ACES filmic tone mapping and an explicit output colour space land in `stage.ts`, and the atmosphere intensity table and palette headroom are re-tuned against the new curve rather than left tuned for the clipping we removed. `engine/environmentRig.ts` builds a PMREM environment at runtime, procedurally, so nothing binary is committed. There was no environment map anywhere before, so every `metalness > 0` role had nothing to reflect and rendered dull grey — a defect the code already documented against itself in `office/optimus.ts`, where a whole material role was abandoned over it, and worked around in `modelX.ts` with a fake emissive that this change deletes. Atmosphere remains the sole light owner; the rig derives from the `LightingState` it already produced. **Studio hardware exists.** There was no device concept anywhere in the product: no type, no route, no state. `devices/types.ts` fixes a declaration/state/ capability/command contract that a smart light, a thermostat, a door sensor and a charger all fit without a schema change, and both studios now carry a desk mic and a computer speaker with deterministic simulated behaviour behind an adapter seam a real API can occupy later. Reads are the demo and are open; commands are a signed-in action and are kept off the read body entirely, because a shared cache replaying a GET that turned a microphone on is exactly what the fail-closed cache default exists to prevent. **The ADS-B licence hole is closed.** `TERA_ADSB_ENDPOINT` accepted any URL, the response was served publicly cacheable, and the attribution hardcoded adsb.lol regardless of where the endpoint pointed — one env var away from republishing non-redistributable data under an open-terms credit. The host is now allowlisted, the credit is derived from the host actually configured, public cacheability is conditional on redistributability, and a refused endpoint demotes to simulated flights and says so in `degraded[]`. The gate is on the source, not the feature: live aircraft and their detail cards stay open to anonymous visitors. **The LA studio was never the smaller pack** — 16 rooms and 248 props against SF's 4 and 28. Its deficit was fidelity per square metre: 98 of those props were ceiling troffers, it bound no props to seats, placed none of the habitat kit, and 12 of its 16 rooms had no viewpoint. Density comes from new asset kinds rather than more instances, because `furnish.ts` draws once per kind and folds colour into the batch key, so repeat instances add nothing the eye can read. **The interface stops being forty imperative mutations.** Every visibility decision moves into a pure, tested `ui/chromeState.ts` and one applier, so the chrome has coverage for the first time. Deleted: ~100 lines of CSS and two bindings targeting elements that no longer exist, and a `body:has()` rule that shifted the desktop layout by 160px for touch controls hidden there. Fixed: the office picker tabs that drew their label and their badge on top of each other. Added: a first-run flow, because the product is two verbs and neither was ever stated on screen. Mobile is designed on its own terms instead of being the desktop with things hidden — the plan view comes back, and the keyboard-only shortcuts button is replaced by touch controls. `arena/studioOps.ts` frames the whole thing as the multi-variable environment it is, wrapping the same simulators the renderer drives rather than a headless copy. Also removed `input/vehicle.ts`, which nothing but its own test imported. Tests 385 -> 961, all passing. Typecheck, build, performance budgets across six matrix cells, no-binaries, provenance, dependency licences, zero-config boot and arena source hashes all green.

The Southland gets a door, and the people in it move
**Mateo Court**, a courtyard block in the Arts District — a third pack and a third *kind* of building. Two office floors and a shed already existed, so this is the plan the format had not been shown: a ring of rooms round an open-air yard with **no corridor anywhere**. Every door opens onto the yard, and the yard does the job a corridor does in the other two. It is also the first pack whose `ceiling: null` means there is genuinely no ceiling at any height rather than "take the lid off so the shot can see in", and the first sited off the Bay Area board at all. That last part needed a fix, not just a coordinate. `OFFICE_MARKERS` was gated on `id === "sf"`, which was correct for exactly as long as every office was in the Bay Area — it would have kept the Los Angeles building off the Los Angeles board and pinned it to San Francisco's. The gate is the board's own bounds now, which is the same question asked honestly. Every door through the 0.25 m courtyard skin is 1.2 m rather than the usual 0.9, and that is not a style choice: `blocked` inflates by the walker's radius *and* the wall's thickness, so a 0.9 m leaf through a wall that thick seals the room behind it while rendering perfectly. Two rooms were sealed exactly that way on the first pass. The test says so, because a well-meaning edit back to 0.9 for consistency would do it again. **People move.** `samplePresenceAt` thinned the roster by hour, which fixed a building that was full at 1 a.m., but everybody was still pinned to their own desk all day. Occupancy is a hand-written booking table now: meetings fill a room for a plausible length, the kitchen island fills at lunch, and a `Presence` binds to a seat id — so "in a meeting" means occupying a meeting-room seat, and the whole thing is choosing seat ids rather than inventing positions. The flood fill that checks a pack is walkable existed three times over. One copy now, since the third is where a divergence lives. **Films.** A new `office-dusk` reel — six hours over Lumbridge HQ catching the moment the house lights take over from the sun, which is the one thing only a time-lapse can show and which did not exist. The three existing reels are re-rendered rather than re-captioned: `films.ts` in v4 named a commit eleven behind HEAD, so the published reels were shot before there were any clouds and before the city drew office pins. Reviewers caught roughly a dozen false statements in the new prose across these files — a room census that did not add up, a wall-thickness count, a claim that every room has daylight when one does not, and a cost figure saying `updateSun` runs once a second when it runs once a minute. The consequential ones are fixed. In a codebase where the comments are the design record, a confident wrong number is a defect. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

The city points at its own buildings, and the sky stops depending on an API
**Clouds were invisible to everyone who had not wired up NWS.** The layer
took `currentWeather()?.cloudCover ?? 0`, and `currentWeather()` is null on
any deployment without a weather source — which is the default, and the
exact configuration this repo is held to: a stranger clones it, runs one
command, and gets a city with no account and no key. Their sky was
permanently, silently empty. `atmosphere.ts` already models a sky when
nobody has observed one; it now models cover too, an observed reading
still wins outright, and the clouds are there on a bare clone.
**Both offices are pins on the city, and clicking one walks you in.** Each
pack has carried a real `site` since the sun needed one, and that
coordinate was known to the lighting and to nothing else — a visitor
looking at the board had no way to tell that two of those buildings are
ones they can go inside. The coordinates move to a tiny eagerly-imported
`offices/sites.ts` that the packs import *from*, because a pack is a 25 kB
lazy chunk and the board wants its pins long before anybody opens a door.
A test asserts the pack and the table hold the **same object**, not merely
equal values: a drifted coordinate would put the marker on one building
and the sun on another and both would look entirely plausible.
**Aircraft bank into their turns.** The roll channel existed and was never
written, so every turn was flat. Bank comes from the coordinated-turn
relation against the measured turn rate, damped by a first-order lag so it
settles rather than oscillates, and clamped at 30° like a real limiter.
Six regression tests, because roll is the one channel that feeds itself —
position and heading are recomputed from the last two observations and
wash out a bad value, while a NaN in the roll would persist for the life
of the track.
That fed straight into a real defect: `AdsbFlights` substituted
`heading: 0` for records with no `track` field, which is harmless for a
symmetrical dart and is a **sustained full-scale artefact** once aircraft
bank — a target whose real heading is 200° reported as 0° reads as a 160°
turn and pins the roll at its limiter for as long as it is in the feed.
Those records are dropped now. An aeroplane the feed will not give a
heading for is one this layer cannot draw honestly.
**The office empties out overnight.** A full complement of seated people
at one in the morning, under house lights that came on because the sun is
down, was the least believable thing left in the room once the clock
became real. A live roster always wins — an API that says the building is
empty is telling the truth about the building.
**Robots go somewhere.** They pick real addresses — a seat, a room — and
turn to face the seat when they arrive, rather than stopping at a random
angle. Godmode gets an office section: house lights forced on or off or
following the sun, robots and ceilings toggled, with a readout.
**The bundle is split.** Entry chunk 758 kB to 208 kB, with three.js and
satellite.js in a vendor chunk that survives an app deploy instead of
being re-downloaded on every one. Rollup's 500 kB warning still fires and
should — it now points at three.js, where it is true, instead of at our
code, where it was pointing at three.js all along.
Reviewers caught two false geography claims in the new prose ("both
shipped buildings stand in San Francisco" — one is across the estuary at
Alameda Point) and several miscounted figures. Fixed. In a codebase where
the comments are the design record, those are defects.

Shadows land on the building, and the sky layers stop repeating themselves
**Shadows were the right size and pointed at nothing.** Last round fixed the missing `updateProjectionMatrix()`, so the frustum finally became the size every caller asks for — but nothing aimed it, and `sun.target` sits at the world origin. A pack's origin is the **north-west corner of its slab**, so for lumbridge-hq the box was off-centre by half the building: 14.4 m of a 48 m plate, about a third of the floor, fell outside the frustum and neither cast nor received. Invisible while three's broken ±5 default made shadows useless everywhere; obvious the moment they started working. `SceneKitOptions` takes a `shadowTarget` now, both callers pass one, and the light's target is added to the scene — which is the part that actually matters, because `LightShadow.updateMatrices` reads `target.matrixWorld` and an unparented `Object3D` is never reached by the traversal that updates it. The sun is also placed relative to the target rather than the origin, so light-to-target is exactly `sunDistance` for every direction, which is the invariant each caller's `shadowNear`/`shadowFar` were chosen against. **`flights.ts` could not be tested, and that is why it was untested.** It used a TypeScript parameter property — the one piece of TS syntax that *emits code* rather than annotating a type — so Node's type stripping refused the whole module. The bundler never cared, so nobody found out until the first `node --test` file tried to import it. The module carrying the worst bug this project has shipped was, by construction, the one module that could not have a test. It has eleven now, including one that fails if the live-aircraft repeat-skip is removed. **Robots are on the plan panel** — a turned marker with a bow for heading, in the one hue left that is neither the people-blue nor the camera-amber. Review findings cleared across the four new sky/robot modules: a real 24 mm void at the ankle and an 8 mm hole through each forearm, a per-frame allocation in the robot heading picker, a per-frame sort in the starlink ranking, `uTime` growing unbounded until the cloud breath quantises, and `DAY_REFERENCE`'s derivation which did not reproduce. `createStarlinkMeshLayer` now takes a **board** radius — the same unit its sibling takes — instead of a dome radius with nothing in the types to tell them apart. That is the exact confusion that has already caused one real bug here. `DOME_RADIUS_FACTOR` has one owner and is imported, not copied: the points and the meshes must be on the same dome or a satellite that grows geometry also jumps. Several comments were wrong rather than merely stale — a fabricated claim about `Object3D.clone`, a fabricated attribution to `Plan`, an inverted `DoubleSide` argument, a triangle ledger citing a function that no longer exists, and a defensive-call rationale that contradicted the paragraph above it. In a codebase where the comments are the design record, those are defects. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

The office keeps its lights on, and something walks around under them
**Lights.** A sited office follows the real sun, and the real sun spends
half its time below the horizon — which was producing a technically
correct and completely useless picture: an unlit floor plate at midnight
in a building whose whole premise is that you can see who is at which
desk. `luminaires.ts` brings the diffusers up as the sun goes down and
reports one scalar for how much interior light there is; `withHouseLights`
adds it to the rig. CONTRACT §4's rule that a fitting emits no light is
kept in full — nothing here is a light source, and the rig still has one
owner.
**And they notice you.** A fitting within four metres of somebody walking
underneath brightens and fades back as they leave, which is what an
occupancy-sensed floor actually does at night. They are one `InstancedMesh`
sharing one material, so `emissiveIntensity` cannot vary between them —
`instanceColor` can, but three multiplies it into the diffuse term only, so
six lines of `onBeforeCompile` carry it into the emissive term as well. The
alternative was one mesh per fitting: forty draw calls of ceiling in a
building that spends about twenty on everything.
**Optimus.** A posable Gen-3 humanoid — eleven articulating joints, pale
shells over a dark frame, a black visor — with a walk cycle driven by
*distance travelled* rather than wall-clock, so the feet do not slide when
a robot slows down. Two per floor, derived from the pack's levels, so the
two-storey tower gets four and the hangar gets two without either pack
knowing robots exist. They wander between reachable points using
`Plan.blocked` — the collider the wall split already produces — and they
are deliberately **not** gated on `depth`: the build-time-exclusion rule is
about occupancy, and a robot is nobody.
**Starlinks stop being pixels.** The sixty-four nearest the centre of view
grow real geometry — a flat bus with ONE large solar array, which is the
actual signature and the thing everybody draws symmetrically and wrong —
fading in so there is no pop where a point becomes a mesh. Two draw calls.
The sun for their attitude comes from `solar.ts` and not from the rig,
because `atmosphere.ts` floors the light direction to keep the shadow
camera usable, and a sun ten degrees *down* is exactly the dusk geometry
that makes a pass visible.
**Aircraft** are airliners now — swept wings, nacelles, a fin — instead of
an arrowhead, still one shared geometry facing +Z as `flights.ts` requires.
**Clouds** drift over the board, driven by observed cover, lit by the rig
rather than by themselves.
Four modules were built by subagents and reviewed by another; every one
came back `needs-work` and the reviews were right. Fixed before wiring:
- The walk cycle's arms were a quarter cycle out of step with its legs —
the legs are cosine-shaped and the arms were on `sin`, so at the
instant the left leg reached full forward the left shoulder was at dead
neutral. Uncanny, and hard to name until it is pointed at.
- Every Optimus shell used a `roundedBox` radius of 0.12–0.22, which that
primitive turns into a near-circular cross-section — the figure was
built out of lozenges, not panels. The rest of the library uses
0.02–0.09.
- The cloud material was `transparent` + `DoubleSide` without
`forceSinglePass`, so three rendered it twice per frame *and* bumped
`material.version` on each pass — rebuilding the program cache key
forever, on the one layer that is fill-rate bound.
- `starlinkMesh.dispose()` freed the geometries but not the
`InstancedMesh`es, orphaning their instance buffers on every city
switch.
- The airliner's tailplane roots sat outside the tail cone and hung in
free air over most of their chord.

The office learns where it stands, and the sky stops being a backdrop
**Aircraft actually move now, and the reason they did not is the headline.**
`HttpFlights` holds a frozen snapshot between network refreshes and is
polled at 1 Hz, so a live feed handed the layer the same position five to
fifteen times and then jumped. `span` therefore measured the poll interval
rather than the gap between the two positions that differ, the teleport
test saw an airliner covering 36 units in a "second" against a ceiling of
8, and **every live track's history was wiped on every refresh** — so no
aircraft on the deployed site could ever grow a trail, however long
TRAIL_POINTS was set. Skipping the repeat fixes the motion and the trail
at once. Trails then go to 72 points / 240 s, which is about seventy
seconds of flying.
Three more defects in the same file, found while looking: trail
truncation dropped the segments nearest the aircraft (leaving a streak
with no aeroplane attached), MAX_TRACKS was declared and never enforced,
and one missing target deleted its whole trail. The buffer now uploads
only what it wrote, rather than 46 MB/s of untouched array.
**You can get above the constellation.** Dome to 1.05 board *radii* and
the orbit to 2.0 spans. Radii, not spans: scene space is centred on the
city and the Bay Area board runs forty kilometres down the peninsula, so
the furthest corner is 0.94 spans out where the half-diagonal is 0.65 —
sized off the half-diagonal the dome sat inside its own city. The far
plane goes to 4 spans to stop clipping the sky from off-centre chapters,
and `PointsMaterial` defaults `fog: true`, which was quietly dimming the
whole constellation with the city's haze.
**An office can say where it stands.** `Office.site` — lat, lng, height
above the ground outside, and the compass bearing the pack's −Z points
along — and with one it gets the same sun the city does, a sky, and a
horizon at `-elevation`. CONTRACT §4 reserved this as "a later
refinement"; it is taken up rather than overturned, and `daylight.ts`
computes no light of its own. It does the two things a room needs that a
map does not: turn the sun into the building's frame, and move the fog
outdoors before it greys out the far wall.
Two buildings now, and they are deliberately unalike: Lumbridge HQ 188 m
up a Transbay tower facing 205°, and **Frontier Valley**, a startup in a
hangar at Alameda Point — one room, 54 x 30 m, nine metres to the
trusses, four metres above reclaimed ground.
Floor-to-floor in the reference pack is now 16.8 m: the interstitial is
ten times a real one, so the space between the slabs is somewhere things
can hang. It is frankly not architecture, `PLENUM` is the one number to
change, and the file says so.
Also fixed, all found by review rather than by looking at the screen:
- `sun.shadow.camera.updateProjectionMatrix()` was never called, so
three's default ±5 unit box has been in force this whole time and
every `shadowExtent` this repo passes — including the city's ±752 —
has been silently ignored.
- A missing aircraft was kept alive by the new grace period and *drawn*,
so it froze in mid-air at full opacity for 32 s.
- Frontier Valley's mezzanine was a `Room`, which carries no height: its
slab lay on the concrete, its chairs floated 4.4 m over it, and its
balustrade fenced off a patch of ground floor. It is a `Level`.
- Overlapping floor slabs z-fought. The format permits overlap and
resolves later-first, so `shell.ts` now lifts a slab a hair per
earlier slab it overlaps — and by nothing at all in a pack, like the
reference office, whose rooms only ever abut.
- `switchOffice` bypassed the `entering` guard (leaking a whole scene
per double-click) and tore down the old room before knowing the new
one would load, with no way back.
Known and not fixed: raising MAX_SPAN to 30 s doubles the worst-case
re-base snap when a feed's gap shortens. It is bounded, pre-existing in
kind, and the fix wants carrying the live head into the next leg.

The office gets a room you cannot see all of from a doorway
Lumbridge HQ was 34 x 18 m, 612 m², one storey, fifteen rooms. It is now
48 x 18 m over two storeys, twenty-six rooms and a hundred and
twenty-six seats — and the fourteen metres that were added are one room
rather than a second row of cellular offices, because area is not the
thing the building was short of.
**The commons** is the east wing: one volume, open all the way to the
roof at 7.0 m, with the block's old east curtain wall now looking into it
instead of onto a street. Two archways through that glass, four trees,
one refectory table on the axis of the corridor, and nothing along the
glazing.
**Level 2** sits at 4.2 m — floor to floor, not floor to ceiling, which
is the number people get wrong. A studio with nineteen metres of
unbroken north-lit floor, a library, two meeting rooms, a project room,
and a gallery that reaches 4.2 m out over the void so the commons can be
looked down into rather than merely walked through.
`WIDTH` became `BLOCK_E`: every room, wall and seat authored before the
wing existed is measured against the old east line, and folding the two
into one number would have stretched fifteen rooms sideways.
Three things worth knowing:
- Every existing seat id is unchanged. The README says to keep them
stable for the same reason street numbers survive repainting, and a
`Presence` binds to one.
- The balustrade is a wall and not a prop. `Plan` derives the walk
collider from the wall list, so a rail authored as furniture is a
balcony you can walk off, and the drop is a storey onto terrazzo.
- The wing's walls carry an explicit `height`, because "double height"
is a property of the walls and `ceiling: null` alone would leave a
lid you cannot see but the light rig can.
`src/test/office.test.ts` is new and is the README's own checklist, which
nothing had ever run: problems empty, seat ids unique building-wide, the
balustrade impassable from all three open edges, and a 0.1 m flood fill
proving every room on both levels is reachable on foot from the way in.
That last one caught a door authored 200 mm past the end of its wall —
silently dropped, room sealed, and invisible from every camera angle.

The sky the real catalogue served, rather than the one it was assumed to serve
Three fixes, all of them found by pointing the thing at celestrak.org and looking at what came back. **The catalogue was 100% Starlink.** The supplemental feed is 10,766 objects against a 6,000-object ceiling, so a first-wins merge spent the whole budget on it and served a sky with no ISS, no GPS, no weather satellites — every other group fetched, parsed, and thrown away. `merge` now reserves the ceiling for the small groups and lets the fill group take the remainder: 1,044 of everything else and 4,956 Starlinks. The truncation warning is what caught it, which is the argument for the no-silent-caps rule; it now reports the split rather than only the fact that a cap was hit. **You could get outside the sky.** The dome sat at 1.2 board spans and the camera orbits to 1.5, so pulling all the way back put the viewer outside it looking in, with half the constellation behind the camera. 2.0 is inside the far plane at 3.0 and outside the orbit. **Size attenuation was wrong in principle.** A satellite does not get bigger because you zoomed the map in. Fixed pixel size, at roughly what a naked-eye Starlink actually looks like — the attenuated version shrank to sub-pixel specks at the far end of the zoom and read as noise. Measured over San Francisco at 21:19 local: 324 above the horizon, 267 fully lit, 96 at local midnight. The terminator does what it should.

The sky gets the things above the aeroplanes
Satellites, end to end: CelesTrak element sets behind the same TTL cache
the weather and the flights use, served as TLEs rather than as positions,
and propagated in the browser with SGP4.
Sending elements is the same trick `flights/plan.ts` plays and it has a
better excuse here — a TLE *is* the closed form, valid for days either
side of its epoch, so one cacheable fetch every six hours replaces a poll
and every viewer agrees about where everything is.
Two things are worth knowing about the shape of it:
- There is no region parameter. An aeroplane at 10,000 m is local and
a satellite at 550 km is above the horizon for a circle two thousand
kilometres across, so one catalogue serves both boards and the client
decides what is above its own horizon. Only the observer is per-city,
which is why `main.ts` shares the elements and rebuilds the catalogue.
- The layer draws on a dome, because it cannot draw anywhere else.
`world.metres(550_000)` is 21,000 scene units against a far plane at
3,000. Azimuth and elevation are real; the radius carries nothing.
Off by default: a clone that started pulling CelesTrak on `npm run dev`
would have volunteered somebody else's bandwidth for its onboarding.
Godmode gets the two dials that point at the sky rather than at the
light — fabricated traffic, which composes with a live ADS-B feed instead
of replacing it, and a switch for the satellite layer with a count beside
it. Both are god-only lies about the inputs, in the manner of the weather
override.
`satellite.js` is the second runtime dependency this package has taken.
Its entry point star-exports an Emscripten build that cannot be shaken
out, so `noWasmPropagator` in the Vite config cuts it: 308 kB of WASM
loader for a bulk propagator nothing calls, against 26 kB for the SGP4
that does the work.

The client gets tests, starting with the two files that most needed them
Nine test files on the server, none on the client, and no test script in the root package at all — so CI's only gate on the half of this project that runs in a stranger's browser was `tsc --noEmit`, which will tell you the types line up and nothing about whether an anonymous visitor is handed the private office. Both files here were built to be tested and never were. `access.ts` is the only module in the bundle whose output is a set of decisions about what a stranger may see, and its own header carries the reason a test is owed: a shipped line read `canEnterOffice = s.authenticated || !s.passwordLogin`, which is true for `auth: none` and dangerously false for `sso` — where `POST /session` answers 404 precisely *because* credentials are issued elsewhere — so on an SSO deployment every anonymous visitor got the private view while the config still said the box was private. There is now a test named after that bug. The assertions are weighted toward the closed direction on purpose: one that a member gets what a member is owed, and half a dozen that nobody gets more than nothing, because showing a member the public office is a bad afternoon and showing a stranger the private one is what the tiers exist to prevent. The 5xx case is in there too — a box mid-restart is `anon`, not `member` — and so is the `javascript:` entry URL, which a CSP of `script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'` does not stop from navigating. `plan.ts` says in its own header that it imports no three.js "so the splitting pass is testable without a WebGL context", and that it "drops rather than throws … every one of those is reported through `problems`" — an array whose whole purpose is to be asserted on, which nothing asserted on. So: a pack wrong in five ways still builds and files five reports; a zero-length wall does not put a NaN in the bounds; an office with no levels stays finite so nothing downstream divides by it; a pack with the required arrays missing is taken, because HTTP will send one. And the wall pass gets the check CONTRACT.md §2's argument deserves — one decomposition, two products — by walking a walker through the door and into the wall beside it, and through a window and being stopped. Also the yaw convention, which nothing stated and `officeMinimap.ts` draws straight from: get the sign wrong and every wall mirrors about its own centre, invisible on a square and obvious on anything else. No new dependency. The server already runs `node --test` over `.ts` on native type stripping, so the client does the same — which matters here, because this repo's "no surprise dependencies" check is an allowlist naming why each one is permitted, and a test runner would have needed an entry and an argument. One source change was needed to make any of it possible. `session.ts` read `import.meta.env.VITE_IDENTITY_URL` at module scope, and `access.ts` imports `authFetch` from it — so one property access made the file that decides what an anonymous visitor sees unreachable from a plain test runner, which is most of why it had no tests. It now reads the way `plan.ts` already reads `DEV`, by the idiom that file documents as being there "so this module stays importable from a plain test runner". 31 tests, 9 suites, all passing, wired into `npm test` and into the CI job beside the server's. `vite build` is unchanged and no test code reaches the bundle. |

The phone can reach the plan, read the disclosure, and see the room
Three things, all on the door people actually open. office.lumbridgecorp.com is a link you send somebody, and a link somebody is sent is opened on a phone. **The plan had no way in.** The stylesheet builds it a whole bottom-sheet layout below 600px — full width above the rail, 38dvh tall, hover-only text dropped — and the only thing that could open it was the `M` key, which on a phone is not a control that is hard to find but a control that does not exist. The comment above that layout says "it is still behind `M`, so it costs nothing until it is asked for", and on a phone it could not be asked for. So there is a button, in the one cluster a thumb reaches, at every width rather than only the narrow ones — a control only a keyboard can reach is a control some people do not have, and that is as true at 1920 as at 390. It is glyph-only, because the `M` hint beside it already carries the word and two controls labelled "plan" in one bar is one too many, and it carries `aria-pressed` for the same reason the chapter buttons do: a toggle that does not look like its state is a button that appears to do nothing on every second press. **The disclosure was behind a hamburger.** "Sample occupancy — these people are invented" lived on `#office-badge` inside `#panel`, and on a phone `#panel` is a sheet that starts closed. The one sentence standing between twenty-five invented people at real desks and a screenshot presented as a staff list was hidden, on the device most likely to take the screenshot. It moves to `#source`, which is where this page already says what on screen is and is not real, is fixed and always drawn, and which the phone stylesheet itself calls "the one caption that is never allowed to be dropped for space". It replaces the city's liveness line while you are inside rather than joining it, because the markers, the sky and the traffic are facts about a board behind you — and "live data" printed over invented colleagues is the exact species of lie that wording was rewritten to stop telling. It also needed a rule of its own: `.source` on a phone is one nowrap ellipsised line, which rendered this as "sample occupancy · these people …", a truncation that removes the only word that mattered. A disclosure cut off mid-clause is worse than none, because it looks like a caption somebody bothered to write and nobody goes looking for the rest. **The room did not fit.** `camera.fov` is vertical, so visible width is `distance * tan(fov/2) * aspect`, and a phone held upright has an aspect near 0.5 against the 16:9 those viewpoints were framed by eye against. At the same distance that is a third of the width: the arrival shot put a thirty-four-metre floor plate off the corner of the screen under a frame full of empty sky. The pack was not wrong and the renderer was not wrong — the number meant something else on that screen. `poseFor` now preserves the width the author framed, which is the thing they were choosing; "everything in this building is somewhere in this frame" is a statement about width, and the extra height a tall screen throws in costs nothing. It only ever pushes back, never pulls in, so a window wider than 16:9 is untouched. The correction scales the whole offset from the target and not the ground distance alone, and that is the entire fix rather than a refinement. Multiplying only the distance does not step back from a shot, it flattens it: 32 m out and 14 m up became ninety-odd metres out and still fourteen up, a near-horizontal squint at the edge of a floor plate stranded near the horizon. I built that first and it was worse than the bug. Checked on an iPhone 13 viewport and at 1920x1080 and 1440x900. Phone: the whole floor centred at the authored angle with people at the benches, the disclosure on two lines and complete, the button tapped open and the plan sheet up with eight rooms named. Desktop 16:9 is pixel-identical — the correction is exactly 1 there — and the console is clean on all three. |

The floor keeps up with the room
Occupancy was fetched once, on the way in. Somebody sat down and you did not find out until you left the office and came back, which for a view whose entire subject is who is in the building is the point missed by one request. `watchPresence` is `watchWeather`'s shape without the two pieces of judgement that one needs and this does not: weather has to decide whether an observation is too old to be honest about and whether it describes the place you are looking at, and a roster is neither — it is true when it is served, and it is addressed by office id, so it cannot arrive about somewhere else. Thirty seconds, and the number comes from what the data does rather than from what the network will stand. Ten minutes is right for weather because nothing upstream of it moves faster; occupancy moves when a person stands up. Backoff tops out at five minutes rather than the weather watch's hour, because the difference between the two is what the user is doing while the box is down: nobody is staring at the sky waiting for it to be redescribed, and somebody *is* standing in a room they expect to see people arrive in. An hour of silence there reads as a broken feature rather than as a quiet API. Two things it does that the weather watch does not, both because this one runs while a person is looking at the thing it describes. It stops dead while the tab is hidden and asks again the moment it comes back — a backgrounded tab polling a roster nobody can see is waste on both ends, and it is the commonest state a long-lived office tab is in; coming back has to be immediate rather than at the next tick, or you return to a floor up to thirty seconds stale at exactly the moment you are looking hardest. And it publishes only on change, by signature rather than by identity: every answer is a fresh array, so without the comparison a still floor would rebuild its presence meshes twice a minute forever. The watch belongs to the visit and not to the page, which is `weatherWatch`'s rule for a sharper reason — a roster is requested with a credential and names people, so one left running after somebody stepped out to the city is a page quietly asking about a room nobody is looking at. Stopped before the scene swap in `leaveOffice`, so the last thing it can do is abort a request rather than publish into a room already left, and stopped again in `mountCity`, which disposes the office under it. Checked in the browser, both exits. Standing in the office: one ask on arrival, the next 31 s later under failure backoff, not a flood. Stepping out by the `O` key on the office host (a real navigation) and by the scene swap on `?view=office` (which is what actually exercises `stop()`): zero requests in the following 45 s, in both. |

The office plan takes the phone's pixel ceiling too
`minimap.ts` is handed `deviceProfile().maxPixelRatio` and `officeMinimap.ts` was not, so it defaulted to 2 and rendered a phone's floor plan at twice the fill rate the city plan had already decided that handset could afford. Two 2D canvases in one corner of one page disagreeing about what a phone is: exactly the drift `deviceProfile` lives in a single file to prevent, and stage.ts says so at the top. Mine to fix — it arrived with the plan two commits ago. |
