Windy moved its Webcams API behind a paid tier (only the in-site Plugins
API is free), so the windycams layer is gone before ever going live. In
its place: roadcams — official public traffic cameras from keyless 511
APIs (a North-America-standard platform, one adapter covers many regions).
Launching with Alberta (367) + Ontario (946); more regions are one entry
in REGIONS + serve.py CAMS_REGIONS + an nginx location each (several 511s
just need free keys). InfoBox descriptions are CallbackProperties, so the
snapshot cache-buster is computed at click time — always-fresh images with
zero entity rebuilds. Verified: 1,302 cams, live Toronto snapshot in-app.

The deep-link keeps working in local dev; on partly.party it would be a
dead localhost button until SOLARGOD has a public home.

- firms (bespoke): raw VIIRS S-NPP fire detections, world, 24h. CSV via
new serve.py proxy/firms (key from gitignored firmscredentials.json,
injected server-side, 1h cache + stale-on-error). Points colored/sized
by fire radiative power; click -> FRP/brightness/time/satellite overlay.
Verified live: 1412 detections, hottest 88 MW seen 00:35 UTC today.
- windycams (bespoke): viewport-driven Windy Webcams v3 — nearest ~50 cams
wherever the camera stops, entities with live preview img in InfoBox.
proxy/windy validates nearby=lat,lon,km, injects x-windy-api-key header,
10min coarsened cache. Degrades cleanly: 'key rejected' status until a
real WEBCAMS-product key lands in windycredentials.json (re-read per
request, no restart needed).
- key loader tolerant of JSON, brace-less fragments, or raw pasted tokens.

Three new layers from the OSINT4ALL directory triage:
- jamcams (registry): ~800 live London traffic cameras via TfL open API
(CORS-open, keyless). Click a cam dot -> live snapshot in the InfoBox,
5-min cache-busted refresh. New collapsed 'Regional - London' category.
- inciweb (registry): named US wildfire incidents from InciWeb RSS. New
spec.parse hook in the geojson-layer factory lets XML feeds supply their
own parser; coordinates regex'd out of DMS text in <description>.
- radio (bespoke): ~12k live radio stations from Radio Garden pinned to
their cities (PointPrimitiveCollection). Click -> station list + live
audio player (audio streams direct; JSON via new allowlisted serve.py
proxy/rg/ with 12h/1h caches, SSRF-tested). Keeps playing while you pan.
Deploy note: prod nginx needs a location for /godsigh/proxy/rg/ before
the radio layer works live (mirror of serve.py RG_PATH_RE allowlist).

New 'Sky: zodiac · planets' layer (Space, default off). All computed, no data:
- 12 zodiac signs labeled around the ecliptic ring
- Sun & Moon from Cesium's Simon1994 model, 5 naked-eye planets from Schlyter's
low-precision series — correct directions, verified (Sun sits in the right
sign for the date, planets hug the ecliptic)
- placed in the INERTIAL frame (CallbackProperty × ICRF→Fixed each frame) so the
sky stays star-locked while the globe rotates; distances compressed to one
display ring beyond GEO so they're visible when zoomed out

Reciprocal to SOLARGOD's Earth-card link into GODSIGH. A subtle HUD pill
(above the footer, styled to the mode-button family) opens the orrery in a
new tab. The href is rebuilt fresh at click time from viewer.clock.currentTime
via the shared `#t=@<unixMs>` convention, so scrubbing GODSIGH's clock carries
straight through to SOLARGOD's sim time.
- index.html: <a#solargod-link.portal-link> between #layers and footer
- css: .portal-link (matches .modes button; accent on hover)
- ui.js: wireSolargodLink(getMs) — rebuilds href on pointerdown+click
(covers ⌘/middle-click new-tab); Cesium stays out of the DOM module
- main.js: wire it with a getMs closure over viewer.clock
Verified in-browser: button renders, zero console errors, all layers boot;
live click → href tracks the clock; scrub -3h → href exactly 3h behind now +
chip flips SCRUBBED + live layers pause; opening the link launches SOLARGOD
in SCRUBBED state at the passed epoch (its hash echoes the exact ms).

12+ layers in a flat list was unusable. ui.js now groups rows into ordered,
collapsible category sections (scheme owned in ui.js so order is stable
regardless of registration order); Regional — Australia collapsed by default;
empty categories auto-hidden via :has(:empty). URL-state get/set layer APIs
unchanged.

1. Military callsigns (aircraft.js): callsigns matching CONFIG.aircraft.
militaryPrefixes tint red regardless of altitude band and bump larger. New
"Military filter" HUD row (default off) shows only military aircraft when on;
status "N military of M". Pick overlay shows Military/Civil class.
2. Satellite ground track (satellites.js): selecting a satellite draws its
sub-satellite path (height 0, ±half orbit around now) as a dashed polyline in
the sat's colour; deselect hides it; one track at a time. Recomputed on
demand from the satrec (no upfront precompute of 97 tracks).
3. Shareable URL state (main.js + ui.js): camera / mode / layer toggles / clock
offset serialize to location.hash (replaceState, 1 s cadence, only on change)
and are restored on boot; malformed hashes ignored silently.
4. Screenshot endpoint (serve.py): dev-only POST snap?name= writes a base64 PNG
body to docs/<name>.png (name sanitized to [a-z0-9-], can't escape docs/).
Captured docs/screenshot-data.png + screenshot-photo.png (render() called
synchronously before toDataURL — the preserveDrawingBuffer pitfall).
README rewritten for Wave 2: quakes/fires layer rows (marked REAL), replay,
shared cache, shareable links, ground tracks, military, screenshots, updated
architecture + roadmap.
Verified in browser: 11 military of 6062 + filter; ground track 180 pts on
select / hidden on deselect; URL round-trips camera+mode+layers+clock; both
screenshots written as valid 1280x720 PNGs; subpath audit clean.

- CesiumJS viewer (token-free, baseLayer:false), Carto dark + EOX Sentinel-2
- clock spans now +/-6h CLAMPED; built-in timeline/animation = the space-time slider
- HUD: brand, LIVE/SCRUBBED chip, Data/Photo mode toggle, layer rows, credits
- lighting is mode-aware: OFF in Data (high-contrast asset map), ON in Photo
(realistic day/night terminator) — refines SPEC 6.1's global-lighting note
- main.js defines the layer-factory contract + dynamic loader; layers land next
- serve.py now forwards OpenSky X-Rate-Limit-* headers for the aircraft status line
