SenrokaiandClaude Opus 5.5 f8ee3ac3ab Move Mimas, Tethys and Phobos along their orbits by the terms their IAU W already carried
The IAU W of a locked moon follows its mean longitude, so a term of W that is the moon running
ahead of and behind its mean motion is its orbit's too. Two were in bodies.json's W and in no
orbit: the 71-year libration of the Mimas-Tethys 4:2 resonance, -44.85 degrees on Mimas and
+2.23 on Tethys on the angle S5 = 316.45 + 506.2 T of pck00011.tpc, and Phobos's tidal
quadratic, 9.536e-9 degrees a day squared about J2000. JPL's satellite table has a column for
neither. orbitalTermsOfPrimeMeridian now turns each into the row's meanAnomalyTerms about the
row's own epoch (Phobos's 1950 row gets the quadratic re-centred, which adds to its mean motion
and mean anomaly at the epoch), and the ETL takes them for the three moons named in their specs.

Against Horizons: Mimas on 2026 May 27, near the libration's extreme, 2.24 degrees instead of
43.3; Tethys the same day 0.18 instead of 2.05; Phobos in 2100 1.25 instead of 11.1. On the
ETL's 2025-01-01 check Mimas is 1.56 degrees, so its named 46-degree ceiling is gone. The renderer
spec freezes the Mimas and Phobos vectors.

The day-equals-orbit check checked a number that turns no locked moon: since cdf474b every one is
turned by its IAU W. build.ts now checks what is drawn instead: the east longitude of the planet
on the moon's IAU body-fixed frame, from where the mean elements put it, every 135 days from 1950
to 2100. Measured: at most 6.70 degrees (the Moon's own eccentricity swing), with Mimas 10.15
(its physical libration, which Horizons shows too), Iapetus 18.33 (its row sits 9.4 degrees
behind Horizons) and Proteus 8.18 under their own ceilings. The lock holds only over that span:
Proteus's W turns 6.3e-7 of its rate slower than its orbit, which drifts its face 74 degrees by
AD 3000, and Mimas's W runs 6e-5 degrees a day ahead of the table's mean motion. Without the new
terms the check fails: Phobos's face turned 13.78 degrees from Mars by 2100, and Mimas's 54.5.

The comments that promised the lock "however long the clock runs" now say what the check covers.
The ceilings comment in build.ts gives Hyperion's and Nereid's worst offsets sampled daily (22.2
and 11.2 degrees, where twelve New Year's Days gave 20.2 and 2.6).

Controls: dropping the libration's cosine term, the quadratic, the quadratic's re-centring or
swapping sine and cosine each fails its named test; the ETL without Mimas's term fails at 44.68
degrees and without Phobos's at 13.78.

/**
* What a good merge looks like, in two numbers the unit suite cannot see.
*
* The catalogues are regenerated by a scheduled job that pushes straight to `main` once the unit
* tests and a production build pass — and both passed, for weeks, on a catalogue carrying 23 000
* stars twice: the suite tests code against fixtures, and no fixture is 400 000 real stars. The
* two ways the merge has actually failed both show up here.
*
* A star kept twice leaves its two entries near each other on the sky, from *different* sources —
* one catalogue does not list a star twice. Under an arcsecond that is never two stars at this
* depth, so every such pair is a miss. Nineteen survive today, all of them a second HYG row
* wanting a Gaia entry that already absorbed one (Gliese lists some doubles twice); the merge
* that trusted a Hipparcos parallax over direction left 1 112.
*
* The other failure leaves no close pair at all, because proper motion had already carried the
* two entries tens of arcseconds apart — the 2026-08-24 refresh, where HYG sat at epoch 2000.0
* and Gaia at J2016.0. What it does leave is HYG rows that found no counterpart: 36 056 of them
* against the 10 886 today, and no counterpart was possible for most of those. Two thirds of them,
* 6 835, are the stars Gaia measures but the main query never downloads, because Gaia's parallax
* puts them past `ETL_GAIA_DISTANCE_PC` while Hipparcos put them inside `ETL_STAR_DISTANCE_PC`;
* they are every star in the published catalogue beyond 250 pc. The rest are what Gaia genuinely
* lacks: bright stars it saturates on, red dwarfs past its magnitude cut. So the headroom left to
* the ceiling tracks the gap between those two cutoffs as much as Gaia's completeness.
*
* This bounds a merge that went wrong, and — loosely — a Gaia download that came back short: a
* truncated answer leaves the HYG rows whose counterpart it dropped without one, so survivors go
* *up*, not down. Measured against the published catalogue: 10 886 today, 11 004 at nine tenths of
* the rows, 12 711 at half, 16 258 at a third. So this ceiling only catches a truncation past about
* two thirds, and `fetchGaiaStars` catches the shallower ones with its own row floor.
