Move the solar system on JPL's mean elements, so it stays right as the clock runs
Every body carried one set of osculating elements from Horizons at 2025-01-01, run forward by
Kepler with a GM from a table of mass ratios. That set is exact at its instant and drifts from
then on, and the clock now runs a month a second: the Moon, with Earth's mass ratio lacking its
own and the osculating axis, went round in 27.70 days instead of 27.32, 66 degrees out after a
year, and its locked face was spun at the same wrong rate.
Planets and Pluto now take Standish's Table 2a/2b ("Keplerian Elements for Approximate
Positions of the Major Planets"): elements against the J2000 ecliptic, their rates per century,
and the b, c, s, f terms of Jupiter to Pluto, fit for 3000 BC to AD 3000. Table 1 is closer near
the present (Saturn 0.23 degrees at worst 1950-2100, against 0.32 here) but is only fit for
1800-2050, and by AD 3000 has Saturn 4.3 degrees out where Table 2 holds every planet within 0.3.
The moons take JPL SSD's satellite mean elements: sidereal mean motion n to ten figures, the
periods of their node and periapsis, and each one's local Laplace plane by its pole. They
propagate with n itself, never a GM: gmForParent and its mass table are gone. Horizons still
gives size, spin and obliquity.
Both tables are read from the Internet Archive's copy of JPL's pages, pinned to one capture: the
live approx_pos page has dropped Pluto, and the live sats/elem page has dropped n and rounds the
period to four or five figures (Phobos 0.3187 d, a revolution out within a decade).
What the tables leave implicit, measured against Horizons before it was accepted:
- The precession periods are magnitudes. A node regresses on a prograde orbit and advances on a
retrograde one; a periapsis advances except where a resonance forces the eccentricity. Io's
and Europa's follow their conjunction line backwards at 2 n(Europa) - n(Io) = 0.74 degrees a
day, which is exactly the 1.625- and 1.394-year periods in the table. Read as advancing, Io
was 0.9 degrees out and Europa 2.1.
- On a retrograde orbit the node's turning is added back to the mean anomaly. Taken off, Triton
drifted a degree a year, 105 degrees by 2100.
- The Laplace frame's x axis is where the plane rises through the ICRF equator, RA of the pole
plus 90. Read against the ecliptic, Io was 2.8 degrees out, Phobos 54 and Titan 127.
Orbit lines are now drawn in their own plane and turned by a quaternion each tick, so a turning
node carries the line with the body: fixed at one date, the Moon's line would be up to 69 000 km
off it nine years on. The Earth row is the Earth-Moon barycentre, 4 700 km from Earth, 0.002
degrees from the Sun. A tidally locked moon's day is now 360 / n, its sidereal period (the Moon
27.321662 d), so it stays locked to the orbit it is drawn on.
Angular error against Horizons VECTORS (ICRF, TDB; heliocentric for planets, planet-centred for
moons), degrees, read from the live renderer's markers in the running app:

Three miss what was hoped for, and why:
- Jupiter 0.17, Saturn 0.32, Uranus 0.17 against the 0.1 hoped for: short-period perturbations
of the giants by one another, which no Keplerian fit carries. Standish states his own Table 2
errors as 600, 1 000 and 2 000 arcseconds (0.17, 0.28, 0.56 degrees). Out to AD 3000, measured
at 1800, 2200, 2400, 2600 and 3000, every planet stays within 0.3.
- The Moon, 1.9: evection (1.27) and variation (0.66), which a mean ellipse leaves out.
- Phobos, 2.1 until 2050, then 5.9 in 2075 and 11.1 in 2100, growing as the square of the time:
its tidal acceleration, which the table has no column for. Its elements are MAR080's, epoch
1950. The map's dates are also UTC where the elements are TDB, 69 s today,
which is 0.9 degrees of Phobos and nothing for anything else.
Held in place by:
- build.ts: each body's mean elements against Horizons' own osculating elements on the ETL's
2025-01-01, at most 0.25 degrees for a planet and 2.5 for a moon (measured: Uranus 0.101, the
Moon 1.407; a regressing Triton node reads 10.24 and fails), and every moon's day equal to its
sidereal period (a 1% error fails).
- Unit tests freezing nine Horizons vectors (Earth 2100, Jupiter 1950, Saturn 2075, Pluto 1975,
the Moon 2050, Io and Europa 1950, Titan and Triton 2100) through SystemOrbitsRenderer, the
Moon kept on its own turning line, the retrograde rule, the Standish terms, the Laplace frame,
and both table parsers. Nine mutants each fail the test named for them, and the two
validators each refuse a mutated build of the real catalogue.

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.

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.

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.

Rank search results instead of taking the first eight
Search scanned the index in construction order — 8750 stars, then 18 bodies, then 6319 exoplanets — collected substring matches, and stopped at eight. With no scoring, position in the index decided everything. Typing "Io" returned eight stars named "Iot Cas", "Iot Eri" and so on, and never reached the moon Io — despite Io being an *exact* match, because the scan had already filled up 8750 entries before the bodies begin. "Kepler" returned Kepler-939 b, Kepler-1292 b, Kepler-223 d and five more in whatever order the archive happened to list them. Everything is now scored before anything is taken, so where an entry sits in the index cannot hide a better match. Exact beats prefix beats word-start beats substring, with the gaps wide enough that a worse kind of match can never outrank a better one. Ties break on kind — the eighteen solar-system bodies first, then stars, then exoplanets, so "Proxima" offers the star before its own planets — then on name length, then alphabetically, so the order is fully determined rather than inherited from the input. Matching is punctuation insensitive as well as case insensitive, so "gl357" finds "Gl 357". "Io" now returns the moon first. "Kepler" returns Kepler-4 b through Kepler-9 d. The index is pre-normalised once on load rather than per keystroke. Lowercasing, stripping punctuation and splitting 15,000 names on every character typed costs about 11 ms, which is most of a frame, and search shares a thread with the render loop — so it stuttered the scene while typing. Precomputing takes a broad query down to 2.5 ms and a narrow one to 0.5 ms, for one 15 ms build during the existing data load. Adds the first tests this component has had, alongside the ranking's own. Tests: 237 passing, up from 206. Verified in a real browser.
