SenrokaiandClaude Fable 5 0dcd49c777 Merge main again: readouts built once, said in the instrument's voice
Main moved while the previous merge was being verified. It brought the
shared bodyReadouts builder — one source for a body's measured and derived
rows, used by the detail page and the system view's new object card — plus
the derived-value asterisk in the HUD readout panel.

All of that data flow is kept. The templates it arrived in are restyled to
this branch's idiom: the info panel and the object card share the same
organism (header, full-bleed readout rows, provenance line, route rail),
the object card's route rail sits at the bottom because there the route is
the next step rather than the way back, and the derived asterisk and its
footnote keep their meaning in sentence case. The card also needed the
restyle to render at all — it arrived wearing hud-panel, a class the
observatory system no longer defines.

Verified: build clean, 527/527 unit, 6/6 e2e, design detector clean.

SenrokaiandClaude Fable 5 a965aed1db Merge main, carrying the observatory instrument onto its rebuilt chrome
Two HUD redesigns happened in parallel: this branch restyled the old chrome
as a precision observatory instrument, while main rebuilt the chrome against
screenshots of the Star Citizen starmap — a scale ladder, a nameplate, a
readout panel, and two-line labels that say what a thing is, not just what
it is called.

This merge keeps everything main's rebuild learned and says it in this
branch's voice. Kept: the ladder's reachability semantics and test hooks,
the two-line name/kind labels and their shared declutter logic, system-view
body labels, every readout. Restyled: chamfered clip-path panels become
hairline frames with corner-tick brackets; Orbitron is gone and one readout
face carries the hierarchy; the hexagon reticle becomes the same
circle-and-ticks mark the search field wears; focus states move to real
focus-visible outlines; the long uppercase caveat notes drop to sentence
case so they read as sentences.

Two merge-borne fixes along the way: the labels' translate offset moved into
.map-label as a margin (CSS2DRenderer rewrites the inline transform every
frame, the margin is the offset it cannot touch), and the info panel's new
Derived section picked up the horizontal padding it lost when the panel
moved to per-block padding.

Verified: build clean, 496/496 unit, 6/6 e2e (on a free port — 4300 is
occupied on this machine), design detector clean, screenshots reviewed at
1440x900 and 390x844 across all four views plus search states.

SenrokaiandClaude Opus 5 836816ffbd Restyle the HUD as an observatory instrument
Replaces the generic rounded dark cards floating over the scene with a
single instrument language: hairline frames cut by accent corner ticks, a
viewport frame that reads the whole screen as one panel, and readouts whose
figures are what the eye lands on.

- styles.css: retune the tokens (deeper void/panel, brighter text/muted so
  every label clears 4.5:1 even over the brightest part of the skybox) and
  add two utilities — `hud-brackets` draws the four corner ticks from eight
  background gradients so no panel pays for them in DOM, `hud-acquire` wipes
  a panel down on mount as its one authored moment (reduced-motion aware).
- Drop Orbitron: every string in this UI is a measurement, an identifier, or
  a catalog label, so one readout face carries the hierarchy through weight,
  size, and tracking — and the HUD paints one font request sooner.
- Search: reticle mark instead of a magnifier, transparent field inside a
  framed shell, results as a dense two-column list with a match count, and
  the previously missing empty state.
- Info panel: return rail, name/class header, and a readout table with
  tabular figures and the unit tinted back off the number.
- Star labels: a hairline leader back to the star they name. The offset moved
  from `translate-*` to a margin because CSS2DRenderer overwrites the inline
  transform every frame, which silently beat the old classes.
- Both top-anchored overlays drop below the search field under `sm` so they
  no longer stack on top of it on a phone, and focus moved from a removed
  outline plus ring to real `focus-visible` outlines.

Claude 7b0f32f71a Assemble a body's readouts once, not once per panel
Follow-up to review on #3. The card and the detail page each built their own Measured/Derived
split, kind label and provenance sentence — the drift buildBodyViewModel exists to prevent,
re-forked one layer up, and the drift would have been in which side of the measured/derived line
a quantity falls on, which is the distinction those panels exist to draw. One bodyReadouts(body)
now returns both blocks and the sentence, and both templates iterate it. The two surfaces render
identical rows as a result, and the card gains the inclination the detail page already showed.

Also from that review:

- KIND_LABELS was duplicated between the two panels; it now lives beside bodyReadouts. The third
  copy the review pointed at is a different union (search results are star/body/exoplanet, and
  label a body "Body"), so it stays where it is.
- CardRow was HudReadout renamed. Both are now Readout, which HudReadout extends with its
  derived flag.
- The enterable-systems count was a 21-line lazy memo over arrays that are already in hand; it is
  one expression where those arrays are assigned.
- buildBodyViewModel now carries hostStarId, so the detail scene stops rescanning both catalogues
  for something the builder had already resolved.
- heliocentricPeriodDays was called twice for the same body.
- The superscript helper was a split/map/join; it is a replace.
- info-panel had five computed() each wrapping one pure call with a non-null assertion, beside a
  template that inlined the same kind of call directly. They are gone with the shared readouts.
- Dropped a tautological test that compared a pure function to itself. Replaced with one that
  asserts the host star id the builder now carries.
- Removed the orphaned doc comment left behind when formatParsecs/formatAu moved out.

And one the review raised as out of scope but is worth taking: formatRadiusKm grouped thousands
above its decimal threshold and not below it, so 69,911 km sat beside a bare 6371 km. Both are
grouped now.

Claude 1019727a39 Say what is known about a world, and how it is known
Four changes to the readout panel and the body cards, which between them were showing less than
the catalogues hold and not always distinguishing a measurement from an inference.

Picking a planet used to navigate straight to /body/:id. That tore down the system scene and the
camera with it, so comparing two planets meant flying back into the system between each. Hovering
a body now raises a card over the live view and clicking pins it; Full view still opens the route
for the full 3D inspection. Clicking empty space unpins, and leaving the system clears it.

The card and the detail page were assembling "what do we know about this world" independently,
which is the shape of bug where a planet reads 255 K in one panel and 254 K in the other. Both now
build from one shared view model.

Orbital period was absent everywhere. For a heliocentric orbit it follows exactly from the
semi-major axis, because in these units the Sun's mass is the unit of mass — Mars comes back
687.0 d against a published 686.98. It is deliberately not computed for moons, whose elements are
relative to a parent planet the catalogue has no mass for, nor for exoplanets: periodDays is
populated for none of the 6319 shipped records and hostStarMassSolar for none either, so any
figure would assume a solar-mass host and mis-state every planet around an M dwarf. Where a period
does exist it is filed under Measured or Derived according to which it is, not by its field name.

The system readout showed a flat 0.00 pc for the Sun's distance, which is arithmetically right and
reads as a bug — the distance from here to here is not a measurement, so it is suppressed. It
gains the host star's luminosity, marked as derived, and counts moons separately from planets. The
neighbourhood readout gains the one thing the star field cannot show: how many of those points can
actually be entered. Derived readouts carry a marker and a footnote saying so.

Every quantity now formats through one module whose precision follows magnitude, rather than a
fixed decimal count per call site that read as false precision at one end and lost real
information at the other: 0.0026 AU stays legible instead of rounding to 0.00, and Pluto's period
reads 248 yr rather than 90560 d.

Claude ac296f5133 Derive a surface for every body that was never photographed
Fifteen bodies here have a real photograph. Every exoplanet does not, and
never will on current instruments — none has ever been imaged — and nor do
several of the solar system's own moons. Those all shared one crude
stand-in: a few noisy bands tinted by category, cached per colour, so
every exoplanet in the app was literally the same picture.

They now get a surface reasoned from what has actually been measured.

The chain is standard at every link. A host star's luminosity comes from
its catalogued apparent magnitude and its parallax distance — that pair is
exactly an absolute magnitude — plus a bolometric correction for its
spectral class. The correction is not optional: an M dwarf radiates most
of its light in the infrared, so its visual magnitude understates it more
than tenfold, and M dwarfs are what most nearby planet hosts are.
Luminosity and the semi-major axis then give an equilibrium temperature,
mass and radius give a bulk density, and size, temperature and density
together give a class of world.

Checked against the solar system the temperatures land on Earth 255 K,
Jupiter 112 K, Neptune 46 K, all within a kelvin or two of published
values, and 51 Pegasi b comes out at 1227 K against a published 1200.

Each class carries a palette reasoned from its chemistry — methane absorbs
red light, which is why the ice giants are blue — and a structure: zonal
bands for a body with a fluid envelope, because a rapidly rotating
atmosphere organises into them, and fractal terrain for one with a solid
surface. Polar caps grow and shrink with the derived temperature, which is
the clearest visible consequence of the whole chain.

The generator samples three-dimensional noise along the sphere rather than
a flat field, so there is no seam to stitch at the antimeridian and no
pinching at the poles, and it writes into a byte array rather than a
canvas — a pure function, testable, with no 2D context to be unavailable.

Two things the derivation cannot do, both stated on screen next to the
measurements it rests on. Equilibrium temperature ignores greenhouse
warming and internal heat, so Venus comes out at 300 K against a real
surface of 737 K and Io, kept molten by tides, classifies as ice. And
these are illustrations: reasoned, but not observations.
