Owner decision 2026-10-06: the globe tells its numbers where they belong instead of in a table. instruments.js adds
one three.js group to globe.gl's scene and a DOM overlay of chips:
- the Sun: a ray and a bead over the subsolar point (with the irradiance), the day/night line, the golden hour and
the three twilights, the declination, the noon and midnight meridian, and the analemma at this hour, its stretch to
the next equinox or solstice brighter;
- a focused post's place: its horizon, its Sun's line and height, and its day lit on its latitude, with one chip for
the place, the phase, the solar time, the elevation and the day's length;
- the tropics and polar circles (the axial tilt), the CDN ring, the view's centre and spread, and rings around the
posts in view;
- a small orrery in the top left corner, re-anchored to the camera before each render, with the Earth–Sun distance,
the seasons, the next equinox or solstice and the next perihelion or aphelion stacked under it;
- the frame rate as a ring around the globe; the rest (points, textures, countries, renderer) as a legend.
The chips are placed after each frame globe.gl draws, clear of each other, the moment's caption, the orrery and the
legend, and slide back inside the canvas at its edge; country names keep clear of them. Geometry changes only inside
a wake globe.js already made, so an idle globe still draws nothing. three.js's classes come from globe.gl's own
objects, looked for before each render until its globe is in the scene. A phone's banner draws the day/night line
and the subsolar point; full screen draws everything, and a globe built in the banner now moves its camera back when
opened full screen.
GlobePanel loses both tooltips and the one-second poll that read every post into a table; the Sun's rows stay as
screen-reader text, and a failed start says so. Seven keys only the tooltips used are gone.
GlobeTests (desktop with a located post written from Milano and pinned, in both themes and turned to the subsolar
point; a phone's banner, full screen and back; an idle globe drawing no frame) pass. Under SwiftShader the instruments
cost 1–3 ms of a ~50 ms frame and under 0.1 ms of script; FeedPerfTests' heaps are unchanged.

tests/e2e (Playwright for .NET 1.61.0 on xunit v3, the Chromium 1228 already
cached, never downloaded, never in CI) runs the published app against
SocialPub's pasture and its town: run.sh publishes it with the Pasture
environment (wwwroot/appsettings.Pasture.json, published only then; the
deploy fails if it ever ships) and serves it as https://decepub.test. The
tests sign in through the real login page and persona chooser, check that
every request goes only to decepub.test and privapub.test with the right
credential on the right API, render one post of each kind from each
platform as its author wrote it, and check every action on the other
side of the wire (town.sh stored): favourites, boosts and replies with
their undoing, follows from a profile, votes, reactions. Each test is also
a cell of the town's report (out/client.jsonl). They found two PrivaPub
bugs fixed there (a blocked author's status answered null; sensitive
remote media invented a content warning) and a reply addressed to nobody.
New in the app, all checked by those tests:
- profiles at /account/{id}: header, bio, fields, counts, the account's
posts as posts, posts and replies, or media, and follow, unfollow,
cancel a request, mute and block (AccountService); post authors and
notifications open them in the app;
- search at /search: accounts, posts and hashtags, a handle or an address
resolved by PrivaPub;
- poll voting on the card, and emoji reactions shown and given with one
tap; before a persona's first reaction or vote it is told once that
both are public (PublicNoticeService, the owner's decision);
- follow requests answered from their notification.
