New '◉ Solar System' mode: leaves the Earth OSINT globe and renders a
heliocentric orrery — Sun + 8 planets as spheres textured with real (CC BY 4.0,
self-hosted) imagery, at their TRUE current positions (Schlyter series, incl.
Uranus/Neptune), with orbits. A 'Travel to…' panel flies the camera to any body;
'Return to Earth' restores the full OSINT view (globe, all layers, clock, camera,
frustum, lighting — all saved/restored). Planets exaggerated + distances
compressed for a readable orrery; Saturn ring; camera headlight for even lighting;
far plane widened to 8e9 (default 5e8 would clip the whole system).
Textures harvested from Solar System Scope (CC BY 4.0), self-hosted in textures/
(WebGL taints cross-origin), credited in-app + README + textures/TEXTURES_CREDIT.md.
Components verified in-browser (ellipsoids render, positions correct, mode
enter/exit, UI, textures). Full-orrery screenshot pending a real GPU frame — the
headless preview can't complete async worker geometry (backgrounded tab clamps).

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).

- js/layers/geojson-layer.js: one factory expressing fetch/dedupe+revision/
time-anchoring/cap/style/status — adding a GeoJSON feed is now data entry
- js/registry.js: quakes & fires refactored onto it (verified parity — same
counts/colors/time-anchoring), plus 4 new REAL layers, all default-off:
GDACS disasters (93), NWS severe weather US (13), Launch Library (30),
NSW RFS bushfires (21)
- deleted js/layers/quakes.js + fires.js (now registry entries); removed dead
CONFIG.quakes/fires blocks
- factory honors default-off (ds.show synced to enabled); zero console errors

Wires John's paid ADS-B Exchange RapidAPI feed ($10/mo, ~10k req/month) into a
new layer showing the military traffic OpenSky/FR24 hide (C-17 "Reach" airlift,
tankers, the Area 51 "Janet" shuttle, etc.).
- serve.py: proxy/adsbx-mil injects the x-rapidapi-key/host headers SERVER-SIDE
(key read from gitignored adsbxcredentials.json, never in the browser) and
HARD-caches /v2/mil/ for 5 min — the quota guard: <=~288 upstream calls/day
(~8.6k/month) no matter how many tabs poll. Stale-on-error; 503 if unconfigured.
- js/layers/military.js: BillboardCollection like the civilian layer but a
distinct red; live-only (no history feed), 5-min poll matched to the cache.
ADSBx altitude is FEET (→metres for Cesium). Emergency squawks (7500/7600/
7700) highlight brighter+bigger and flip the HUD status to err. Click overlay
shows type / tail / altitude / speed / squawk.
- config.js: adsbx block + militaryReal/militaryEmerg colours.
Verified in dev: proxy miss→hit (5-min cache, key not leaked), 412 military
aircraft render over CONUS, click RCH042 → C17 / 99-0062 / 34000ft / 424kt,
zero console errors. adsbxcredentials.json stays gitignored + server-side.

Ran a 7-reviewer × per-finding-verifier workflow over the Wave 2 code; 9 of 13
raw findings survived adversarial verification. Fixes:
- quakes.js: refresh now UPDATES revised quakes, not just dedupes — a signature
(mag|place|depth|time) per id detects USGS revisions and rebuilds that entity,
so a quake revised M4.4→M5.2 no longer stays visually understated (SPEC2 §2
"update, don't duplicate").
- aircraft.js: (a) poll() drops its result if the clock scrubbed off-live mid-
fetch, so late live data never paints over the replay view; (b) re-enabling the
aircraft layer while scrubbed now restores the replayed frame instead of
leaving it hidden; (c) transient (non-404) history errors schedule a bounded
retry so a paused clock doesn't wedge on an error frame.
- satellites.js: ground track centers on the VIEWER clock (not wall-clock now)
so it stays under a scrubbed satellite; and it hides when the Satellites layer
is toggled off (no stray dashed line).
- main.js: malformed camera hash with blank tokens (#c=,,,,) is now rejected
instead of applying a bogus (0,0,0) camera — falls back to the default view.
- serve.py: history t-parse catches OverflowError (t=inf/1e999 → 400, not a
crashed handler); stale-on-error now also covers upstream 5xx, not just 429.
Verified: t=inf/-inf/1e999/nan → 400; malformed hash → default Gulf camera;
ground track 427 km from the scrubbed dot (was ~2 orbits off) and hidden on
layer-off; aircraft re-enable during replay restores 6062 billboards; zero
console errors.

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.

New js/layers/fires.js — fetches EONET open wildfire events directly (ACAO:*),
refreshes every 15 min, rebuilt wholesale (no time dynamics — EONET events are
slow-moving). Uses the latest dated geometry per event; Point coords direct,
Polygon reduced to first-ring centroid. Flame-teardrop billboard (new
lib.flameGlyph, drawn in #ff7a1a with dark outline, shared canvas), aggressive
label translucency so dense California/Australia clusters stay legible, cap 500.
HUD row "Wildfires (NASA EONET)".
PITFALL handled: EONET mislabels Content-Type as application/rss+xml but the
body is JSON — we call res.json() and never gate on the header.
Verified in browser: 500 fires, all finite positions, glyphs render over
North America, zero console errors.

New js/layers/quakes.js — fetches the USGS all_day GeoJSON directly (ACAO:*,
no proxy), refreshes every 5 min regardless of scrub state. Quakes are
time-anchored via availability: in-window quakes appear as the slider crosses
their origin time, older-than-window quakes stay visible the whole window
(intervals clamped to [start, stop]). Magnitude ramps amber→red, size scales
with magnitude, quakes <1h old pulse (age-aware callback), labels only for
M>=4.5. Deduped by feature id across refreshes, capped at 400 (smallest mag
dropped first). HUD row "Earthquakes (USGS)" with count/max-mag status.
Also: serve.py now sends Cache-Control: no-store on all responses (was
proxy-only) so iterative js/css edits always take effect on reload — the
module graph was caching stale copies during dev.
Verified in browser: 223 quakes, 11 labeled, time-anchoring confirmed
(187 visible at -6h → 223 at now), zero console errors.

- 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
