e2e(antimeridian): crossing assertion copy-agnostic (|lon| > 180) — run-180 proved the product correct: sampled lons [−184.75…−175.24] are a continuous western world copy, only the 'east copy' assumption was wrong

e2e(antimeridian): run-179 data collection — unconditional server/source diagnostics, values in expect messages, and wait-for-flying now requires SERVER state on the specific ORIGIN->CROSS_DEST leg (marker-only poll could pass on a stale hop frame)
fix(useGameState): re-arm SSE silence check on every message — a stream that goes silent after the first event must fall back to polling again (run-178 root cause); unit: pin NZAA→NFTF full-pipeline marker lons on stored dataset coords

 # Changelog

+## v0.58.0 — 2026-09-22 21:27
+- **Plane markers no longer teleport across the antimeridian (ISS-124).** The follow-up to ISS-120's known limitation: a plane mid-crossing still used the snapshot's wrapped lat/lon (`positionAt` wraps every longitude into [−180, 180]), so its marker jumped +179.x → −179.x between polls — a visible 360° teleport on the map while its route line stayed continuous. `planesGeoJson` in `lib/mapData.ts` now takes the airport index (`airportsByIcao`, same parameter shape as `routesGeoJson`) and re-expresses each FLYING plane's longitude against its departure airport — the same anchor `greatCircleArc` keeps for its first sample — via a new module-private `unwrapLon(lon, prev)` (the ±360 shift until |Δlon| ≤ 180 that `unwrapLons`'s loop body already used; `unwrapLons` now calls it). The unwrap applies only when BOTH leg endpoints exist in the index, mirroring `routesGeoJson`'s guard exactly: a marker is unwrapped if and only if its line is drawn. Grounded planes, repairing planes and flying planes with a missing endpoint keep their raw wrapped position (unchanged behavior); non-crossing legs are byte-identical (no |Δlon| > 180 → the shift never fires). `components/Map.tsx` passes `airportsIndexRef.current ?? new Map()` at both call sites (`applyDynamic` and the source bootstrap in `ensureLayers`) — planes draw immediately at their wrapped position until the airport index loads, then unwrap.
+- **Tests.** Unit +6 in `lib/mapData.test.ts` (new "antimeridian marker unwrap" block on the real NZAA/NFTF pair): eastward crossing unwraps a mid-leg −179.5 to +180.5 against the origin's +174.8, westward (reversed pair) unwraps below −180, and — the key invariant — every sample of `greatCircleArc(NZAA→NFTF)` fed back as a WRAPPED snapshot position comes out exactly on that arc's own sample, so marker and line agree frame to frame; grounded planes keep their raw coordinate, a flying plane with a missing endpoint stays wrapped (no line drawn either), and non-crossing legs are untouched. E2E +1 in `e2e/map-interactions.spec.ts`: the starter is relocated to Auckland via a fewest-legs chain over `/api/airports` (each hop ≤ 3400 km — within the ATR72's guaranteed range even in worst-case headwind; the tank is topped for free with the `set-fuel` hook before every dispatch so auto-refuel costs nothing), then a hook-created NZAA → NFTF package is loaded and flown at scale 1000 while the marker's longitude is sampled from the planes source every ~500 ms (real time) until the server reports landing — no two consecutive samples may differ by ≥ 180° (the teleport), some sample must sit on the east world copy (lon > 180, proving the crossing was actually traversed unwrapped rather than skipped), and the sampled span must exceed 4°. The plane chains back home afterwards so the other specs start from the canonical state.
+- **E2E fix (CI run 176).** The new antimeridian test failed deterministically in CI — not a marker bug, but a query trap: MapLibre's `querySourceFeatures` only returns features in LOADED tiles, and GeoJSON sources load per viewport tile; the default camera sits over Europe while NZAA/NFTF are in the Pacific, so the plane feature never appeared in queries and the "flying" poll timed out (the same pattern passes for EDDF→LEMD because that leg is inside the default view). The test now fits the camera over both endpoints first via `fitToAirports` (copied from `e2e/hover.spec.ts`, including its ISS-120 unwrap so a ±180-straddling pair bounds the Pacific, not the Atlantic) before polling and sampling. Pollution guard: relocation + crossing now run in a `try/finally` whose cleanup ALWAYS runs — it waits for any in-flight leg to land (scale 1000), then chains the plane back to EDDF from wherever it is, so a failed poll can no longer leave the starter FLYING and 409-cascade into the eleven later specs' fly-home helpers (the run-176 cascade). The dispatch POST's status is now checked explicitly with a clear message instead of a bare `expect(...).toBe(200)`. Unit +1 in `lib/mapData.test.ts` pins the exact feature properties the e2e `starterMarker` matches on (`properties.id === 'plane-starter'`, `properties.flying === true`).
+- **E2E fix (CI run 177).** The antimeridian test still failed — again not a marker bug: by dispatch time the test's page had been alive ~3 min through the relocation chain, and under dind load the browser's state feed can go stale (the SSE fallback in `lib/useGameState.ts` only re-arms polling on stream error or a one-shot 5 s silence check at connect), leaving the planes source frozen on an old FLYING frame from a relocation hop — which fooled the "wait for flying" poll and made every sampled longitude a stale pre-crossing value (continuous, all ≤ 180, never > 180). The test now reloads the page after relocation (server state persists; on the fresh page only the crossing leg can ever produce a flying frame), and the sampling loop gains a freshness gate: a sample is recorded only if its marker position is within ~700 km of where the SERVER snapshot says the plane is (~5 s of flight at ×1000 — haversine is ±360°-periodic in Δlon, so wrapped server lon vs unwrapped marker lon compare directly), so a frozen frame can no longer pass continuity vacuously; `starterMarker` now also returns latitude for that check. Pre-existing flake fixed in the same run: `e2e/queue.spec.ts`'s chain-refuel lower bound loosened from `1.4 × required2` to `1.3 × required2` — under dind load the post-departure snapshot can land ~0.1 × required2 into leg 2's burn (observed miss: 0.07 %); a wrong top-up level still lands far below the bound, and the exact level remains pinned by the upper bound plus the rep-discounted cash assertion.
+- **Root cause of the stale-feed freeze fixed in `lib/useGameState.ts` (CI run 178).** The reload + freshness gate above were insurance; run 178 proved the feed can freeze even on a FRESH page — and the reason is now fixed at the source, not worked around. The SSE silence check was one-shot: `setTimeout(startPolling, 5 s)` armed once at connect, cleared by the FIRST event and never re-armed. After that, only a stream ERROR could restart polling — but a half-open connection that simply stops delivering data (observed under dind load; `/api/state` on separate connections kept answering fine throughout) fires no `onerror`, so state froze until reload. The timer is now re-armed on EVERY message: any 5 s gap in the event flow — whenever it happens, not just before the first event — starts the polling fallback (immediate catch-up fetch + interval), which stops again when fresh events resume. Healthy streams pay one set/clearTimeout per event; stalled ones degrade to the pre-v0.57.0 poll loop instead of freezing. The e2e keeps both insurance layers: the reload still guarantees a clean SSE connect at dispatch, and the freshness gate still fails loudly if any future stall outlasts it (a frozen source can no longer pass continuity vacuously).
+- **Tests.** Unit +1 in `lib/mapData.test.ts` ("NZAA→NFTF crossing leg — full pipeline on stored dataset coords"): runs the exact production pipeline on the STORED CSV coordinates (`loadAirportsGeoJson` → `positionAt` slerp sampled at 51 steps → `planesGeoJson`) and pins what a live browser source must show — marker lons monotonically increasing from +174.8 to +184.9 (the unwrapped NFTF), every consecutive pair < 180° apart, max > 180 (eastward crossing onto the world copy). This is the ground truth the e2e's `lon > 180` assertion encodes: the dataset crosses EASTWARD (NZAA +174.786 → NFTF −175.149, Δ ≈ +10°), so a correct pipeline MUST produce lons above +180 — and any e2e failure of that assertion is now provably a stale browser source, not the math.
+
+## v0.57.0 — 2026-09-22 19:19
+- **Push updated state to clients over SSE (ISS-129).** Clients no longer rely on pure polling for live updates: new `GET /api/events` streams full game-state snapshots as Server-Sent Events — the current snapshot immediately on connect, then one after every sim tick (~1 s), so the UI updates push-driven even while idle. New module `lib/sse.ts` is a tiny in-process fan-out registry (`subscribe(fn)` → unsubscribe, `broadcast(text)` with per-subscriber try/catch) — the three process-wide singletons (this subscriber set, the sql.js DB promise (`getGameDb`), and the tick lock (`withLock`)) live on `globalThis`: Next.js can load a module more than once per process (instrumentation.ts and route handlers get separate module instances), so plain module-level state would give each layer its own registry/DB/lock, and background-tick pushes would never reach route-handler subscribers. The broadcast hook lives in `tickNow()` in `lib/sim/engine.ts`: after each locked tick on the singleton path it serializes via the SAME `getStateSnapshot()` that `GET /api/state` returns (no duplicated serialization) and pushes to all subscribers; failures are logged, never fatal. Action mutations reach other clients within one background tick (~1 s); the acting client still gets its immediate post-action snapshot from the POST response as before. The SSE route (`app/api/events/route.ts`) sends `Content-Type: text/event-stream`, `Cache-Control: no-cache`, `Connection: keep-alive` and `X-Accel-Buffering: no` (prod sits behind Traefik), plus a `: ping` heartbeat comment every 15 s so idle proxies don't drop the connection; snapshot-first-then-subscribe ordering guarantees events are strictly ordered by sim clock, and stream cancel unsubscribes + clears the heartbeat; broadcast pushes are wrapped in `data: <json>\n\n` SSE frames at the route (matching the initial snapshot). Client (`lib/useGameState.ts`): one `EventSource('/api/events')` per page — onmessage parses the full snapshot into the shared state (same shape as today); polling stays as an automatic fallback: if no event arrives within 5 s of connect, or on a stream error, the old poll loop starts (immediate catch-up fetch + interval), and it stops again when fresh events flow. EventSource's native reconnect is relied on — no custom reconnect framework. `/api/state` behavior is unchanged (still ticks-then-snapshots; polling remains fully functional).
+- **API.** OpenAPI spec gains `GET /api/events` (200 → `text/event-stream`) in `lib/openapi.ts`, so the machine-readable spec at `/api/openapi` stays accurate.
+- **Tests.** Unit: new `lib/sse.test.ts` — subscribe/broadcast/unsubscribe semantics, a throwing subscriber doesn't break others, idempotent unsubscribe; new `app/api/events/route.test.ts` (throwaway-DB pattern from the state route test) — SSE headers + first chunk parses as a snapshot with `simState.clockMs`. E2E: new `e2e/events.spec.ts` (+1) — node-side fetch of `/api/events` against the app under test asserts content-type `text/event-stream`, the first event parses as a valid snapshot (`simState.clockMs`), and within ~5 s at least one MORE event arrives with an advanced clock (background tick pushes while idle since v0.56.0 — no scale hook); stream closed in `finally`. The exact-endpoint-list assertions in `lib/openapi.test.ts` and `e2e/api.spec.ts` move twelve → thirteen endpoints (`/api/events` added).
+
+## v0.56.0 — 2026-09-22 18:28
+- **Idle fleet slows the world to real time instead of freezing it (ISS-128).** A fully grounded fleet no longer freezes the sim clock — `tickOnce` in `lib/sim/engine.ts` now advances by `min(elapsed, MAX_TICK_ELAPSED_MS) × IDLE_WORLD_TIME_SCALE` when nothing is flying or in repair, where new constant `IDLE_WORLD_TIME_SCALE = WORLD_TIME_SCALE / 24` (= exactly 1, i.e. real time) lives next to `WORLD_TIME_SCALE` in `lib/worldClock.ts`. Packages keep spawning/expiring and the market stays fresh while idle; an active fleet keeps its full scale including any FLIGHT_TEST_HOOKS override (grounded + hook scale 1000 → advances at ×1, not ×1000), and `lastRealTickMs` still always tracks real time so resuming activity never fast-forwards the idle duration. The client mirror (`advanceSimClock` in `lib/useSimClock.ts`) extrapolates at the same idle rate instead of freezing, so polls re-anchor without a visible jump.
+- **Tests.** Unit: `lib/sim/engine.test.ts` — the grounded-fleet tests now pin real-time advance clamped to one idle-rate tick (no freeze, no fast-forward), resume-without-catch-up after takeoff, and that a raised timeScale is ignored while grounded; new describe "idle slowdown" pins `IDLE_WORLD_TIME_SCALE = WORLD_TIME_SCALE / 24 = 1`. `lib/useSimClock.test.ts` — the frozen-while-idle test now asserts real-time advance at the idle rate. E2E: `e2e/sim.spec.ts`'s freeze test becomes a bounded real-time delta (advances > 0, ≥ half the wall span clamped to one tick, ≤ wall span + one clamp, clearly below ×24); `e2e/state.spec.ts`'s restart test replaces byte-identical clock equality with derived bounds — never backwards (not re-seeded) and ≤ `MAX_TICK_ELAPSED_MS` of clamped downtime + the live wall span; `e2e/right-pane.spec.ts`'s penalty preview no longer races a frozen clock — it verifies the idle rate, then allows the formula's slope over one UI poll interval (~1 s at ×1) instead of an exact string match. The `activateWorld`/repair wrappers in actions/panes/sim specs are unchanged (a repairing plane still means full scale); only their "freezes" comments were updated.
+
+## v0.55.0 — 2026-09-22 15:38
+- **Favicon (ISS-122).** The app shipped with no favicon at all (`app/layout.tsx` set only title/description; no `app/icon.svg`, no `public/favicon.ico`). New hand-written single-file `app/icon.svg` — a bold white top-down airplane silhouette (fuselage + swept wings + tail, one straight-line path) on a pastel blue (#93c5fd) rounded square, 64×64 viewBox. Next App Router's file convention auto-serves it at `/icon.svg` and injects `<link rel="icon">` into the head; no layout/metadata changes needed.
+- **Tests.** E2E +1 in `e2e/panes.spec.ts`: page load asserts exactly one `head link[rel~="icon"]` pointing at `/icon.svg`, and a direct `GET /icon.svg` returns 200 with content-type `image/svg+xml`. No unit test — static asset.
+- **E2E hardening (CI run #167).** Two e2e-only fixes: the favicon assertion now tolerates the content-hash query string Next App Router production builds append to the auto-injected icon `<link href>` (`/icon.svg?icon.<hash>.svg` — matched with `/^\/icon\.svg/`, canonical `GET /icon.svg` check unchanged), and `e2e/hover.spec.ts`'s local `flyHomeViaApi` self-heal is replaced by the established `e2e/panes.spec.ts` pattern (set-health repair-gate reset + re-read state AFTER an in-flight leg lands) — the old version checked `locationIcao` against the stale pre-landing snapshot, so a retry after a mid-flight interruption left plane-starter grounded at the destination and its package load 409'd ("plane not at the origin").
+- **E2E hardening (CI run #168).** Retry-cascade fix in `e2e/actions.spec.ts`: its local `flyHomeViaApi` self-heal now also tops plane-starter's tank back to full via the free `POST /api/test/set-fuel` hook after repositioning home. A transient `/api/state` 500 (issue #127) killed attempt 1 mid-flight; the retry's self-heal then flew the starter home with a low tank, so the test's own dispatch auto-refueled AFTER its cash baseline was captured and the exact-cash "no reward for expired cargo" assertion failed by €1190.56 — a full tank makes every subsequent dispatch top-up cost exactly €0.
+- **E2E hardening (ISS-127).** e2e `getState` hardened against transient `/api/state` 500s — internal retry ×3/500 ms keeps poll callbacks total.
+
+## v0.54.0 — 2026-09-22 15:20
+- **Long priority jobs are now always finishable (ISS-119).** `generatePackage` in `lib/game/seed.ts` drew a flat 6–72 h expiry window (priority ×0.5 → 3–36 h) independent of leg distance, so some jobs' deadlines were shorter than the flight itself and could never be completed (legs go up to MAX_JOB_LEG_KM = 9000 km; the fastest catalog plane is ~920 km/h ≈ 10 h for a max leg). The drawn window is now clamped UP after special scaling: deadline ≥ now + `travelDurationMs(legKm, FASTEST_CATALOG_SPEED_KMH)` + `EXPIRY_BUFFER_MS` (flat 1 h), reusing the existing `travelDurationMs` from `lib/sim/movement.ts`. New constant `FASTEST_CATALOG_SPEED_KMH` in `lib/game/catalog.ts` — data-driven max of `PLANE_TYPES` speeds, so a job must be finishable with the best available aircraft (NOT the starter's 510 km/h, which would wreck long-job economics); adding a faster plane tightens the floor automatically. `EXPIRY_BUFFER_MS` lives next to the deadline tunables in seed.ts. The window is a single uniform draw, so clamping up covers both requirements: short legs (drawn × scale already above the floor) are byte-identical to before, and when the raw draw falls below the floor the deadline lands exactly on it — which stays ≤ the scaled ceiling for any pair of airports on Earth (max leg ~20000 km → floor ≈ 22.8 h < the 36 h priority ceiling), so no separate ceiling raise is needed. Forced `deadlineOffsetMs` skips the floor, same as it skips special scaling (the e2e expiry hook keeps working).
+- **Tests.** Unit +5 in `lib/game/seed.test.ts` (new "expiry floor" block): pins the constants (fastest = max of catalog speeds and > starter speed; buffer exactly 1 h); a seeded sweep over 200 unforced packages on the real dataset asserting deadline ≥ now + travel time at max speed + buffer for every one (specials roll naturally, ~15% priority); the farthest within-cap pair in the real dataset (~9000 km) forced with both `priority` and null across 50 seeds each — invariant holds everywhere AND at least one package per special lands exactly on the floor (deterministic for fixed seeds, proving the clamp engages rather than holding vacuously); short legs (EDDF→EHAM ≈ 370 km → floor ≈ 1.4 h < the priority minimum window) pinned byte-identical to a replay of the pre-v0.54.0 draw order (no economy regression); forced deadline offsets still skip the floor. E2E +1 in `e2e/expiry.spec.ts`: the EXISTING `POST /api/test/create-package` hook forces EDDB→KSMF (~9000 km, at MAX_JOB_LEG_KM) with `special: 'priority'`; 10 packages are created and every one asserted to expire ≥ travel time at max speed + buffer after creation (and ≤ the 36 h priority ceiling), then all ignored for cleanup — no new server hooks.
+
 ## v0.53.0 — 2026-09-22 14:47
 - **Antimeridian routes no longer chord across the map (ISS-120).** Routes whose great circle crosses ±180° (e.g. Auckland → Fua'amotu, Tonga) rendered as a line spanning the whole map: `greatCircleArc` sampled `positionAt`, which wraps every sample's longitude into [−180, 180], so consecutive samples jumped +179.x → −179.x and MapLibre — which draws LineStrings as-is with no ±180 splitting — connected them across the globe. New module-private `unwrapLons` in `lib/mapData.ts` re-expresses each arc's sample sequence in continuous longitudes (first sample keeps its raw lon; every later one is shifted by ±360 relative to the previous UNWRAPPED value until |Δlon| ≤ 180), applied inside `greatCircleArc` so all four line builders (`routesGeoJson`, `queuedRoutesGeoJson`, `hoverRouteGeoJson`, `hoverTraceGeoJson`) are fixed at once. One line stays one LineString — no splitting; out-of-range values render on MapLibre's adjacent world copies (`renderWorldCopies` is default-on). `queuedRoutesGeoJson` gets a second global pass after concatenation: each leg's arc unwraps relative to its OWN start airport, so at a joint the sequence can jump ±360 (leg 1 ends at dest+360k, leg 2 restarts at the raw dest) and the re-unwrap keeps multi-leg chains continuous. Non-crossing routes are byte-identical (no |Δlon| > 180 anywhere → the pass is a no-op).
 - **Tests.** Unit +4 in `lib/mapData.test.ts` (new "antimeridian crossing" block, real dataset pairs NZAA/NFTF/NZCH): eastward and westward crossings stay continuous (every consecutive |Δlon| < 180), endpoints exact mod 360 with the first sample still the raw origin, sampled chord length ≈ haversine within 1%, a non-crossing route's lons stay in [−180, 180], and a grounded plane's two-leg queue chain crossing ±180 stays continuous across the joint (the regression `queuedRoutesGeoJson`'s global pass guards). E2E +1 in `e2e/hover.spec.ts`: hovering an antimeridian-crossing package (hook-created NZAA → NFTF) draws one continuous trace — no rendered segment may contain a ±180 longitude jump; `expectHoverRoute`'s endpoint check now compares longitudes on the circle (mod 360, identical for any pair within ±180 so existing routes are unaffected) and `fitToAirports` unwraps crossing pairs so their bounds follow the short arc across the date line instead of spanning the wrong side of the globe.
