THE CHART (the magic, drawn to a canvas texture): the whole solar system — every object's extent (planets, stations, gates AND asteroid clusters, discovered or not) + `bounds.padding` px of padding on each edge — fitted to the plate. Only DISCOVERED objects are drawn (planets / stations / gates / rock fields, small representations). The TETHER RANGE is drawn as the union boundary (Tether.visibleArcs) with a soft zone glow inside, and everything OUTSIDE the tether union is grayed out (a fog-of-war dim pass with feathered rim) — so the chart reads as 'here is what you have charted, and here is the room to expand'.
