- New "System" socket in MapWindow: a charted star's chart drawn by the
same painter as Current System (no ship/tethers), armed until the player
picks that star on the Galaxy tab, then wakes with its map.
- Galaxy tab click flow changes: a visited star opens its chart in the
System tab (onStarOpen) instead of confirming a jump; uncharted stars
are readouts only and a lit lane to an uncharted star pops nothing.
- Zoom-bloom star art (GalaxyChart.starArtSpec + GalaxyView blit):
diffraction spikes, per-type crowns (granulation, prominences, binary
companion, habitable rings, nebula disc, void horizon) and a surface
wobble fade in as you zoom; all angles/phases seeded per system.
- Star hit-testing now scales with the dot size and includes a crowded
cluster dead band so lanes/empty space between stars no longer trigger
hover.
- New systemChartSnapshot() in SystemChart.js plus tests covering shape,
coverage, discovery flags, stats and determinism.
- Set Destination dialog (System tab) acknowledges the pick via
onSetDestination; destination model is still being defined.
- Added spacestation image/video assets for future use.
- New `GalaxyView` renders glowing stars per archetype (pulsing heartbeat),
the jump-lane web (traveled/frontier/unexplored), the charted region's
convex hull, HOME/SHIP markers, hover readouts, and CONFIRM JUMP on a
live lane (reuses the existing gate transport).
- `GalaxyChart.js` provides the pure model + geometry: edgeKey, snapshot
builder, convex hull / padded polygon, star pulse/color, and plate
clipping (Liang-Barsky + Sutherland-Hodgman) — all Node-testable.
- Run's footprint (`visitedSystems`, `usedGates`) is captured/restored/
reset in SaveData; legacy saves default to "current system charted,
nothing traveled".
- MapWindow gains tab switching between the system chart and the galaxy
view, with shared stats/legend/status chrome per mode.
- Two dev tests cover the galaxy model, save round-trip, hull geometry,
plate clipping, and a regression for the star-label blink bug.
