Give the map a scale bar, and rings that say how far from the Sun
The map had one way to read a distance: the Range readout, a number for how far back the camera is. The local grid's five rings sat at 50 to 250 pc, fixed and unlabelled. They said nothing from inside a 2 pc hop, and nothing past 250 pc now that the Hipparcos stars Gaia places there are drawn. A scale bar now sits under the scale rail. It shows the longest round length (1, 2 or 5 x 10^n) that fits in 120 px, in AU inside a system and in parsecs or kiloparsecs outside. It is measured at the depth the view is centred on, since under perspective every depth has its own scale; under the plan view it is exact everywhere. The local grid's rings are now distances from the Sun, at a round step of about a fifth of the camera's distance and out past the camera: 50 to 350 pc from the opening view, 2 to 20 pc from twenty parsecs out. Each ring is labelled with its distance, on the side facing what the view is centred on, or across the far side of the grid when that is the Sun (the near side is under the camera and out of frame). The survey edge at 250 pc stays called out, as "Survey edge", whatever the step. The rounding lives in one place, scale-bar.ts, shared by the bar and the rings and tested there. Its formatter keeps three significant digits: one digit, enough for the bar's round lengths, printed the 250 pc ring as "300 pc".

Dock the HUD: every tool and readout on one rail along the bottom
The overlay had grown by accretion: a search box floating top-centre, a readout panel bottom-left, a range readout bottom-right, and nothing that said these were parts of one instrument. This puts them on one rail across the bottom of the viewport — the dock — with a tab strip pinned to the bottom edge and whichever panel is open growing upward from it. The top of the screen keeps only the scale ladder and the nameplate, so the map itself is what fills the frame. Three tabs. SEARCH is the old search, with its field pinned to the bottom of the panel and the results growing upward above it, so the thing being typed into never moves while the list grows. READOUT is the old bottom-left panel. DISPLAY is new: five layer toggles — labels, orbits, grid, deep sky, sky — each a real scene object switched by visibility, except the ones the galaxy crossfade already rewrites every frame, whose toggles fold into that crossfade instead of fighting it. The range readout sits on the strip itself, so it is readable whatever is open. Behaviour worth stating: choosing a search result hands the panel straight back to the readout, since the thing to look at is now the scene. `/` opens the search from anywhere. Below `sm` the dock is the strip alone; a tap opens a panel as a sheet, a tap on the scene folds it away. The body-detail page gets the same dock with only the search — the info panel is its reading. Two things found on the way. CSS2DRenderer gives every label its own z-index for depth order, and the label host created no stacking context, so labels painted over every HUD panel; `isolate` on the host keeps them under. And starmap-hud's readout tests were really tests of the panel that moved, so they moved with it. Verified: build clean, 535/535 unit, 6/6 end-to-end, design detector clean, screenshots at 1440×900 and 390×844 across galaxy, galactic, system, body-detail, all three tabs and the layers-off state.

Fix what the review confirmed: anchoring, overlap, honesty, one voice
Fourteen findings from an adversarial review pass, applied together because most share two roots — geometry written against assumptions the renderer does not hold, and a design language spelled out longhand until it drifted. Correctness. The leader line pointed at empty space: CSS2DObject centres a label on its anchor by default, and margin only nudges the centred box — the overlay now anchors the left edge (center 0, 0.5) so the hairline meets the star. The info panel and not-found panel returned to top-4 at sm, under a search field that is 26rem wide and centred, covering the back button on every viewport from 640 to 1088px; they now wait for xl. The search empty state asserted "nothing matches" while the catalogues were still loading — and forever if they failed — so it now waits for the index. "Matches 8" was the page size wearing the costume of a count; the header now reports the real total, with the cap stated when it bites. The nameplate un-hides at lg instead of sm, clear of the rail and the object card. theme-color matches the void again. Accessibility. Tabbing to search changed one hairline's hue; the wrapper now carries the old ring as a visible focus indicator. Structure. hud-surface names the panel recipe that had been inlined at seven sites and had already forked into /85 and /92; the backdrop blur it carried is gone from every near-opaque panel — the canvas beneath redraws every frame, so each blur was re-sampled continuously for an effect the fill hid — and survives only as blur-sm on the genuinely translucent search shell. type-label and type-eyebrow name the two label voices, retiring 0.14em and the stray hover:bg-accent/10. The Measured/Derived rows both cards pasted twice each live once in ReadoutSectionsComponent; the reticle and chevron each draw from a single geometry, the reticle's stroke held in screen pixels so one mark serves every size. The acquire wipe plays once per search, not once per keystroke, because both outcomes now share one panel. hud-banner, which styled nothing since the rule was deleted, is a data-testid — the convention its own file already used. 527 unit tests, 6/6 end-to-end, production build, and a driven screenshot: every label now hangs off its star with the hairline touching the point.

Rebuild the map chrome against the Star Citizen starmap
Until now this was built from memory — the reference site is blocked by this environment's egress policy, so the resemblance was asserted rather than checked. Five screenshots of the real thing arrived, and this is what comparing against them changed. Labels say what a thing is, not just what it is called. Every label is now two lines: the name, then its type in smaller, wider-tracked, dimmer capitals. This is the single most characteristic element of the reference and it appears in every frame of it. It also settles a real ambiguity — in a map that mixes scales, "Orion" is an arm, a nebula and a constellation, and nothing about a bare name said which one a label pointed at. For stars the type line distinguishes "System" from "Star", which is the one thing it can say that the map could not otherwise show: which points are somewhere you can actually go. The system view had no body labels at all, where the reference labels every planet. It does now, which turned out to need two supporting changes. The overlay had only ever added and removed labels, never moved them, because stars do not move; planets do, so an existing label is now repositioned rather than left where the body used to be. And the inner four planets printed on top of each other in exactly the clump the star labels were already spread to avoid — so that logic is now shared rather than duplicated, with system bodies ordered outermost-first. Closing in reverses it by itself: the outer orbits leave the frame, their labels drop, and the inner planets take the space. The chrome follows the reference's layout. The scale ladder is a row of chamfered tabs at the top left rather than a vertical list of diamonds at the middle left, and a nameplate across the top centre says what the view is holding. The centre reticle is a hexagon, which is how the reference locks onto a body, and stays distinct from the rectangular panel chrome. Not copied: the ARK/RSI logos, wordmarks, and the bottom-right tool tabs. The first two are someone else's brand, and the third would be four tabs opening features this app does not have. Two e2e assertions moved off bare text matches onto the readout panel's own title. The nameplate names the same thing the panel does, so "is 'Local Stars' on screen" became ambiguous — the assertion, not the design, was what had to give.

Open the map out to the whole Milky Way
The map stopped at the catalogued 50 pc around the Sun — 0.33% of the Galaxy's width — and looked like a point cloud with a search box. Adds the galactic scale above it and the heads-up display the reference map is built from. The Galaxy is not a third coordinate space. It is the same parsec space four orders of magnitude further out, so the model and the star field crossfade against camera distance instead of switching, and the Sun stays where it really is: 8.18 kpc out, on the Orion Spur, between the Sagittarius and Perseus arms. The depth range scales with that distance — one fixed near/far pair cannot both fly into a star and hold the Galaxy. The structure in shared/astro/galaxy.ts is measured: the directions of the centre and the north galactic pole, which fix the disc's 63 degree tilt against the celestial equator; the Sun's galactocentric distance; and a radius, azimuth and pitch angle per arm. The particles scattered around it are not, and cannot be — dust hides the disc, so no catalogue holds the Galaxy's stars. The view says so, and the model fades out before the camera reaches the 50 pc where the real stars are. The rest is the look: polar grids lying in the galactic plane with drop lines from the Sun's neighbours, a scale ladder, a readout panel, range, reticle and frame brackets. Two things had to give way for it. The deep-sky shell is the sky as seen from here, so it dissolves rather than letting the camera fly through a wall of nebulae, and so does the skybox, which is a photograph taken from inside the thing now being viewed from outside. Labels are picked by screen separation rather than distance alone: the Sun's fifteen nearest neighbours are all inside four parsecs and printed as one unreadable clump.
