 # Changelog

+## v0.26.0 — 2026-09-20 11:28
+- **Flight queue UI + map rendering (ISS-043, part 2).** Builds on the part-1 backend (`PlaneState.queue`, `POST /api/planes/{id}/queue` + `/queue/cancel`, auto-chain on landing) — no new endpoints, so the OpenAPI spec and its e2e path list are untouched
+- **Dotted queue line on the map (ISS-043).** New pure builder `queuedRoutesGeoJson(planes, airportsByIcao)` in `lib/mapData.ts`: one LineString per FLYING plane with a non-empty queue, chaining `dest → queue[0] → …` — ONLY the not-yet-started legs (the active leg stays in the solid `routes-legs` layer). Reuses `greatCircleArc`, same feature/properties shape as `routesGeoJson` (`{planeId}`); arcs concatenated with the shared joint point dropped once; a plane is skipped, never guessed, when its dest or any queued ICAO is missing from the airport index. New GeoJSON source + line layer in `components/Map.tsx` — id `queue-routes`, muted slate `#64748b`, width 3, dotted via `'line-dasharray': [0.1, 1.5]` (distinct from the solid amber active leg and the `[2,2]` yellow hover dash), added after `routes-legs` but before the hover layers so a hovered trace still draws on top; pushed each poll in `applyDynamicRef` alongside the solid legs
+- **Queue sub-section in the left pane's On board block (ISS-043).** Each on-board plane block now carries a "Queue" sub-section after its cargo rows: one row per queued leg (`queue-leg-{i}`) showing destination name + ICAO with a Cancel button (`queue-cancel-{i}` → `POST …/queue/cancel {index:i}`), plus an add control — airport `<select>` (`queue-add-dest`) + "Add to queue" button (`queue-add` → `POST …/queue {destIcao}`) reusing the pane's already-fetched `airportOptions` (no second `/api/airports` fetch); buttons disable on `actionsBusy`, add also disables until an airport is picked. The on-board block filter now ALSO includes planes with a non-empty queue, so a queued plane always shows its block even when grounded with nothing on board. Existing cargo-row testids/behavior (`onboard-package-*`, `fly-to-*`, `refuel-for-*`, `abandon-*`) unchanged
+- Tests: unit — `lib/mapData.test.ts` gains a `queuedRoutesGeoJson` block mirroring the `routesGeoJson` tests (grounded plane with queue → nothing; flying with empty queue → nothing; flying with a 2-leg queue → one feature starting at DEST, passing through each queued airport exactly at the arc joints, ending at the last queued ICAO, length `n_legs × SEGMENTS + 1`; missing dest or queued ICAO → skipped; multiple planes → only qualifying ones draw). E2E — new `e2e/queue.spec.ts` (serial): (1) queue display + cancel through the real UI — load a package at EDDF, start leg 1 via the fly-to button, freeze mid-flight, add a leg via `queue-add-dest`/`queue-add`, assert `queue-leg-0` appears with its destination, cancel it and assert it's gone; (2) dotted map line — flying plane with one queued leg: fit to both endpoints and assert some rendered `queue-routes` segment starts within EPS of DEST and some ends within EPS of the queued airport ACROSS per-tile segments (plain-object mapping in-page per ORCHESTRATOR §6), no segment starts at the hub (the active leg is NOT in this layer) and every feature carries `planeId: plane-starter`; (3) auto-chain end-to-end — full tank, package EDDF→LEMD + queued return LEMD→EDDF, start leg 1, fast-forward at 1000× and assert the server AUTO-STARTS the chained leg (`status 'flying'` to EDDF with no manual dispatch) with the package already delivered (part-1 ordering: delivery before chaining); all three leave the starter grounded at EDDF for later specs
+- Verified: `tsc --noEmit` clean; unit suite green locally (308, was 303); `npx playwright test --list` = 45 tests in 13 files (was 42/12 — the new queue spec); e2e not run locally by design — CI verifies against an isolated stack
+
+## v0.25.0 — 2026-09-20 10:36
+- **Planes now hold a queue of upcoming flight legs (ISS-043, part 1 — backend).** One new column on `planes`: `queue TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '[]'` (`lib/db/schema.ts`, DDL + guarded `ALTER TABLE` migration in `lib/db/client.ts`) storing an ordered JSON array of ICAO strings = the legs NOT yet started. The active leg stays exactly as before (`destIcao` + `departureSimTime`); full path = `[locationIcao, destIcao, ...queue]`. No new table — queues are short, per-plane, always read/written whole
+- **Auto-chain on landing (ISS-043).** In `deliverPackages()` (`lib/sim/engine.ts`) a plane that arrives now reads its queue: if it holds legs AND fuel covers the first one (same `requiredFuelFor` feasibility rule as `/fly`), it immediately starts that leg from the arrival airport — stays `'flying'`, `departureSimTime` = the arrival instant, queue shortened. If fuel is short it grounds safely with the remaining queue kept intact for refuel + re-dispatch; an empty queue grounds exactly as before. Cargo delivery for the reached airport runs first and is unaffected by chaining. Ordering preserved on purpose: delivery runs BEFORE tickOnce's pause check (ISS-041), so a chained plane counts as still flying there — chaining never triggers the last-plane pause
+- **New endpoints (ISS-043).** `POST /api/planes/{planeId}/queue` body `{destIcao}` appends a not-yet-started leg (works grounded or flying — pre-build a route; nothing auto-starts, 400 unknown ICAO/bad body, 404 unknown plane); `POST /api/planes/{planeId}/queue/cancel` body `{index}` removes a queued leg by index (only queued legs are cancellable — the active in-flight leg is never touched; 400 non-integer/out-of-range index, 404 unknown plane). Both run through `performAction()` like every other action and return the full state snapshot. New actions `queueLeg`/`cancelQueuedLeg` in `lib/game/actions.ts`; routes under `app/api/planes/[planeId]/queue/`
+- **Snapshot + spec (ISS-043).** `PlaneState.queue: string[]` added to the `/api/state` snapshot (`lib/game/state.ts`, parsed with a null/malformed-safe helper shared by the engine); OpenAPI updated — `PlaneState.queue`, `QueueLegRequest`, `CancelQueuedLegRequest`, both new paths (200→snapshot, 400, 404)
+- Tests: unit — `lib/sim/engine.test.ts`: auto-chain block in `deliverPackages` (lands with queue + enough fuel → `'flying'` to the next dest at the arrival instant with the queue shortened; lands short on fuel → grounds with the queue intact; empty queue → unchanged grounding) plus a pause-on-landing regression guard — a chained plane does NOT trigger the last-plane pause. `lib/game/actions.test.ts`: `queueLeg` (appends in order, works while flying without touching the active leg, 404 unknown plane, 400 unknown ICAO) and `cancelQueuedLeg` (removes the right index keeping order, 400 out-of-range/negative/empty-queue, 404 unknown plane). `lib/openapi.test.ts`: endpoint count ten → twelve, PlaneState keys + both request schemas. Type-compat only: `queue: []` added to the `PlaneState`/seed fixtures in `deriveEvents`, `right-pane`, `mapData`, `seed` tests
+- Part 1 of ISS-043 (backend) — UI/map rendering of queued legs lands in a follow-up part. Verified: `tsc --noEmit` clean; unit suite green locally; `npx playwright test --list` unchanged at 42 tests in 12 files; e2e not run locally by design — CI verifies against an isolated stack
+
+## v0.24.0 — 2026-09-20 09:48
+- **Landing now pauses the sim instead of auto-slowing to 1× (ISS-041).** When the LAST plane in flight lands, `tickOnce` (`lib/sim/engine.ts`) sets `sim_state.paused = true` WITHOUT touching `timeScale` — speed is preserved. The trigger condition carries over from ISS-011's auto-slow unchanged: ≥1 landing this tick AND no `'flying'` planes remain (a landing while another plane is still airborne does not pause — there would be nothing to auto-resume it). No idle-enforcement or auto-restore of the pause exists
+- **Starting a flight auto-resumes a paused sim (ISS-041).** `flyPlane()` (`lib/game/actions.ts`) writes `sim_state.paused = false` before persisting — inside `runAction()`, so tick + unpause + dispatch are atomic under the sim lock. The cycle: dispatch unpauses → last landing pauses (speed preserved) → next dispatch unpauses again
+- Tests: unit — `lib/sim/engine.test.ts`: the auto-slow describe block rewritten for pause semantics (last plane lands → `paused === true` AND stored `timeScale` UNCHANGED, persisted on the DB row; a landing while another plane is still flying → no pause; last landing at scale 1 → pauses anyway; paused tick with a fully grounded fleet → trigger never fires). `lib/game/actions.test.ts`: new test — dispatching on a paused sim clears `paused` and leaves `timeScale` untouched. E2E — `e2e/auto-slow.spec.ts` renamed to `e2e/pause-on-landing.spec.ts` and reworked: after the starter lands, asserts `simState.paused === true` AND `timeScale` still 1000 (NOT reset), then a subsequent `/fly` dispatch clears `paused` on its own post-action snapshot. Cross-cutting fix for the new pause: every per-spec `setScale` helper (`actions`, `hover`, `map-interactions`, `relocation`, `right-pane`) now POSTs `{ timeScale, paused: false }` — a landing pauses the sim, so a scale-only fast-forward after one would leave the clock frozen and hang the next wait; no caller relied on it NOT clearing pause (verified per call site). Deliberate mid-test pauses (`sim.spec.ts` / `panes.spec.ts` freeze tests, marker-click freezes) are untouched
+- Verified: `tsc --noEmit` clean; unit suite green locally (291); `npx playwright test --list` = 42 tests in 12 files; e2e not run locally by design — CI verifies against an isolated stack
+
+## v0.23.2 — 2026-09-20 09:15
+- **On-board package hover previews the route from the carrier's current position (ISS-040).** Hovering a loaded package in the left pane used to draw the great-circle trace from the package's ORIGIN airport; it now starts at the carrying plane's live lat/lon — identical while grounded at the pickup, correct once the plane has departed with cargo still loaded. New pure builder `hoverTraceGeoJson(from: AirportCoord, toIcao, airportsByIcao)` in `lib/mapData.ts` (sibling of `hoverRouteGeoJson`, same shape/conventions; empty collection when the destination is missing); `components/Map.tsx`'s `applyHoverRef` looks up the carrier via the hover's `planeId` and uses it, falling back to the ICAO trace when no carrier is in state. The `[state]` effect now also re-applies the hover so the trace follows a moving carrier between polls while hovered (idempotent: one small setData + ring filters). Endpoint rings untouched — still ICAO-filtered origin/dest circles
+- Tests: unit — `lib/mapData.test.ts` gains a `hoverTraceGeoJson` block (exact endpoints from an arbitrary start coord; empty on missing dest). E2E — `e2e/hover.spec.ts`: new test loads a package at EDDF, dispatches the starter to LEMD via API, waits until its live position is >0.2° away from the hub, pauses the sim, hovers the on-board row and asserts some rendered trace segment starts within EPS of the carrier's live lat/lon AND some ends within EPS of LEMD AND no segment starts near EDDF (per-tile clipping handled via the existing cross-segment endpoint pattern); cleanup resumes + fast-forwards to arrival (auto-delivery) and flies home
+
+## v0.23.1 — 2026-09-20 08:42
+- **Toasts repositioned to the map's right edge (ISS-039).** The `.toasts` stack was `position: fixed` at the viewport bottom-right, overlapping the 280px right pane; its `right` changed 12px → 292px (= 280px right pane + 12px inset) so it now sits flush against the map's right edge with the same 12px margin. No JSX/endpoint changes — all positioning lives in that one CSS value
+- Tests: e2e wording only — `toasts.spec.ts` header comment, test title, and toast visibility assertion message updated from "bottom-right" to "map right edge / clear of the right pane"; no position assertions added (none existed), suite unchanged at 41 tests in 12 files
+- Verified: `tsc --noEmit` clean; unit suite green locally (288); `npx playwright test --list` = 41 tests in 12 files; e2e not run locally by design — CI verifies against an isolated stack
+
 ## v0.23.0 — 2026-09-20 08:25
 - **Refuel-to-full row moves to the left pane (ISS-035).** Refueling a grounded plane is "anything with our plane", so it belongs in the left pane next to Relocate, not as a market row on the right. The `.market-row` JSX (`market-refuel-none` "All tanks full." span / `market-refuel-plane` select of grounded planes labeled `{planeName} — {fuel}/{maxFuel} L`, `market-refuel-cost` preview, `market-refuel` button → `POST /api/planes/{id}/refuel`) moved verbatim from the Market section in `components/RightPane.tsx` into a new "Refuel" `<section data-testid="refuel-section">` in `components/LeftPane.tsx`, inserted between Relocate and Time. Its state (`refuelPlaneId`) + derived values (`refuelable`, effective-selection `refuelPlane`, `refuelCost`) moved with it, reusing LeftPane's existing `grounded` list; busy gating rewired from RightPane's `busy` to LeftPane's own `useGameAction` instance (`actionsBusy`). Testids kept byte-identical so all e2e locators are unchanged. The per-package "Refuel" button in the On board section (`refuel-for-{pkg.id}`, mode 'forFlight') is a different feature and stays put; exported helpers `slotsUsedFor` / `loadEligiblePlanes` untouched
 - Tests: e2e — `right-pane.spec.ts`: the market test keeps its buy/sell assertions, renamed to reflect that the refuel row now renders inside `[data-testid="left-pane"]` (asserted before the click); functional cash/tank assertions unchanged; the for-leg test's title/comment updated from "market button" to left pane. `panes.spec.ts`: first test gains structural assertions — Refuel heading + `market-refuel` visible in the left pane, both absent from the right pane (same present-in-left / absent-from-right pattern as On board). No unit-test changes (suite stays at 288)

DDL + guarded ALTER migration for existing DBs; seed sets queue: [] explicitly. - deliverPackages() auto-chains on arrival: with a non-empty queue and fuel covering the first queued leg (same requiredFuelFor rule as /fly), the plane immediately starts that leg from the arrival airport (stays 'flying', departureSimTime = arrival instant, queue shortened). Short tank → grounds safely with the queue kept intact; empty queue → unchanged grounding. Cargo delivery for the reached airport runs first and is unaffected. Ordering kept: delivery still runs before tickOnce's pause check, so a chained plane counts as still flying — no premature last-plane pause (ISS-041 preserved). - New endpoints via performAction(): POST /api/planes/{planeId}/queue {destIcao} (append; works grounded or flying; 400 bad body/unknown ICAO, 404 unknown plane) and POST /api/planes/{planeId}/queue/cancel {index} (remove queued leg by index; active in-flight leg never affected; 400 non-integer/out-of-range, 404 unknown plane). Both return the full state snapshot. - PlaneState.queue: string[] in /api/state (null/malformed-safe parse helper shared with the engine); OpenAPI updated (PlaneState.queue, QueueLegRequest, CancelQueuedLegRequest, both paths) and openapi.test.ts expectations extended. - Tests: auto-chain block in engine.test.ts (chain / short-fuel ground / empty queue) + chained-plane-no-pause regression guard; queueLeg/cancelQueuedLeg blocks in actions.test.ts; type-compat queue: [] fixtures in deriveEvents, right-pane, mapData and seed tests. v0.25.0 — part 1 (backend) of ISS-043; UI/map rendering lands in a follow-up.	2026-09-20 10:39:00 +00:00

kamilkrzywda	cbe0cda15d	Pause on landing + auto-unpause on dispatch (ISS-041) CI / build + unit + e2e (pull_request) Successful in 7m43s Details Replace the ISS-011 auto-slow with pause-on-landing: when the last plane in flight lands, tickOnce sets sim_state.paused=true WITHOUT touching timeScale (speed preserved). flyPlane() now clears paused before persisting so starting a flight resumes a paused sim — inside runAction(), tick + unpause + dispatch are atomic under the sim lock. Tests: engine.test.ts auto-slow block rewritten for pause semantics; new flyPlane test asserts dispatch clears paused with speed untouched. E2E: auto-slow.spec.ts renamed to pause-on-landing.spec.ts asserting the new behavior (paused=true AND timeScale still 1000 after landing; /fly clears paused). Cross-cutting fix: every per-spec setScale helper now POSTs {timeScale, paused:false} — a scale-only fast-forward after a landing would otherwise leave the clock frozen. Deliberate mid-test pauses untouched.	2026-09-20 09:48:56 +00:00
