 - Tests: unit — new weighted-burn suite in `lib/sim/movement.test.ts` (full-tank calibration ≈ old constant, closed form vs numeric integration of r(F), F_req monotonic + empty-arrival identity, lighter-start burns less, clamping); `refuelPlane` forFlight cases in `lib/game/actions.test.ts` (exact liters/cost, no-op when enough, 409 not-loaded/expired/doesn't-fit via the ~7670 km UNNT↔LPPD pair, 404 unknown package, 400 missing packageId); refuel route body-validation tests; `lib/openapi.test.ts` updated (optional RefuelRequest, errorCodes `['400','404','409']`, CatalogEntry.emptyWeightKg). Adjusted where the model legitimately shifts numbers: landing-fuel assertions in `lib/sim/engine.test.ts` and `e2e/actions.spec.ts` now use the weighted closed form; the e2e "return leg unfuelable" scenario is reworked — under weight-proportional burn a full tank covers the EDDF↔LEZL round trip (the plane lightens as it flies), so the 409 insufficient-fuel assertion moves to the SECOND outbound after landing back with a partial tank
 - e2e (`right-pane.spec.ts`): new test — fly the longest hub leg on a full tank, load a package back to the hub at the far end, click the row "Refuel" and assert via the endpoint's own response snapshot that cash drops by exactly L×price and fuel rises by exactly L (L from the mirrored closed form); also asserts the market button label is "Refuel to full". `e2e/api.spec.ts` path list unchanged
 - Verified: `tsc --noEmit` clean; unit suite green locally; e2e not run locally by design — CI verifies against an isolated stack
+- **Fix (CI run #40): forFlight refuel leaves an exactly-feasible tank, and the new e2e's premise corrected.** The right-pane e2e picked the dataset's absolute farthest airport from EDDF — UNNT at ~4803 km, whose leg needs ~6955 L > the 6300 L tank (max range from empty is ~4436 km) — so the full-tank fly rightly 409'd; `farthestToHub` becomes `farthestFlyableToHub`, picking the farthest airport whose leg still fits a full tank (UWUU, ~3195 km). Server hardening in the same area: forFlight now sets fuel to EXACTLY `requiredFuelFor(...)` instead of `fuel + liters` — that sum is not guaranteed ≥ R in IEEE754 (`f + fl(R − f)` can round a hair below), and flyPlane's strict comparison would then 409 on an otherwise-feasible leg; cost math unchanged (still the added liters × price). New unit regression test: forFlight on an empty-ish tank → immediate `flyPlane` to the package destination succeeds
 
 ## v0.15.1 — 2026-09-19 11:04
 - **Right pane widened, "On board" wrapping fixed (ISS-004).** The 3-pane shell grid (`app/globals.css` `.app-shell`) moves from `300px / 1fr / 320px` to `280px / 1fr / 360px` — the map column absorbs the delta (MapLibre sizes itself from its container, no JS change). Three wrap offenders in the right pane's "On board" blocks are fixed:
