SenrokaiandClaude Fable 5 307fd41be8 Keep a place, and come back to it
Restores the commit reverted off the routing branch, which is where it was
committed by mistake. The change is unmodified; only its branch is.

The map had no memory. Every visit started at the same overview, and a system
worth returning to had to be found again by name each time. A mark on the
readout and on a body's panel now keeps it, a Bookmarks tab lists what has been
kept, and choosing one goes there — a star by flying into its system, a body by
opening its page.

Local storage, not an account. This map asks nobody to sign in, and a list of
stars somebody liked is not worth a server. Every read of that store is
defensive, because it is a string a person can edit, another tab can write, and
a browser can refuse to hand over at all: a bad entry is skipped rather than
losing the rest, duplicates are collapsed since two entries for one place would
each toggle the other's control, the list is bounded so a hand-edited store
cannot decide how much this renders, and where storage is denied outright the
bookmarks still work for the visit — they just do not outlive it.

The name is stored alongside the id rather than looked up, so the list reads
before the catalogues have loaded, and a bookmark to something a later
catalogue no longer holds still says what it was instead of decaying into a
bare number.

The tab is offered even when it is empty, and says what the mark does: a tab
that appears only once you have already found the feature is a tab that never
taught anyone anything.

Choosing a kept place hands the panel back to the readout, the same move as
choosing a search result and for the same reason. That behaviour is what the
end-to-end spec caught missing — the readout it asserted on did not exist,
because the panel just used was still covering it.

Verified: build clean, 587/587 unit, 11/11 end-to-end, design detector clean,
screenshots at 1440x900 and 390x844.

Senrokai 9cdd8f9388 Revert "Keep a place, and come back to it"
This reverts commit bd3a5a4. The bookmarks work was committed onto this branch
by mistake — it belongs to its own pull request, and it has one, branched from
this branch's own tip. Reverting rather than rewinding because the branch is
published and a pull request is open against it: the diff this pull request
shows is what matters, and after this it shows the routing change alone.

Choosing a kept place hands the panel back to the readout, which is the same

because the panel that had just been used was still covering it.

Verified: build clean, 587/587 unit, 11/11 end-to-end including a spec that
keeps Earth, leaves the page, comes back to it from the list and forgets it,
and one that keeps Proxima Centauri, flies out to the field and flies back in
by what was kept. Design detector clean, screenshots at 1440x900 and 390x844.

SenrokaiandClaude Fable 5 4a1cc5240a 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.

Claude 650b3b37a0 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.

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.

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.
