release: v2.4.25 — layout: snap-to-grid, no corner chevrons, finer grid, text-size control

Owner feedback on the free layout, batched with the snap-to-grid fix:

- No visible corner/edge resize glyphs (#2): the dots + corner brackets are hidden
  (display:none on the handle ::after); the handles stay invisible hit areas so
  dragging from any edge/corner still resizes — the resize cursor is the affordance.
- Finer grid (#3): MIN_CELL_SIZE 120->80 + dock "Widget size" slider min 120->80,
  step 20->10, so the grid — and the snap, which reads cellSize — goes finer.
- Text-size / UI-scale control (#4, accessibility): a dock "Text size" slider drives
  a --ui-scale var that zooms the readable panel CONTENT only (never the panels-grid,
  so drag/snap coordinates are untouched); persisted in localStorage (utils/ui-scale.ts),
  applied before first paint. Per-user SQLite dashboard-sync picks up the key.
- e2e: glyphs-hidden-but-still-resizes, finer-80px-floor, text-size-scales+persists.
  Full layout suite 21/21 green; build clean.

Not released — batched with the snap fix; hanzo assigns version/sequence.

 All notable changes to World Monitor are documented here.
 
+## [2.4.19]
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Moving/resizing a panel no longer shifts the others** (the "when I shift the 3D map it shifts all other components" report). The dashboard now DEFAULTS to the free layout: every panel owns its own {x,y,w,h}, so a drag or resize leaves every sibling exactly where it was — no more grid reflow. The switch is invisible: the current grid arrangement is frozen as the starting geometry (`grid-config.applyDefaultLayout`), and Grid stays one dropdown-click away for anyone who wants snap-to-grid back.
+- **Panels resize granularly** — pixel-exact width AND height from any edge or corner, instead of jumping between coarse column/row spans.
+- **Panels can be made much narrower/smaller** ("constrained on min width"): the free-mode floors drop to 96×40px (map 140px), and the grid widget-size slider now reaches a 120px column track (was 140).
+
+### Changed
+
+- A panel shown from the Panels menu / "+ Add widget" while in free mode seeds a tidy default slot below the placed panels (never a full-width block under its absolute siblings). Hidden panels no longer persist 0×0 geometry.
+
+## [2.4.13]
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Globe overlays now sit ON the sphere with correct occlusion** (the "map spazzes" report). On the native deck.gl GlobeView, data layers (shared with the 2D map) carried no depth parameters, so the far hemisphere showed through and count badges floated above the limb. GlobeNative now seats every data layer against the depth-writing ocean sphere (test, don't write — no inter-marker z-fight), and the far-side billboard cull (`occludeFarSide`) faces the globe's OWN live camera instead of the parked (frozen) mapbox center — extended to `TextLayer` so a back-side "36" count badge disappears instead of hovering over the planet.
+- **Terrain striping on the globe**: the draped ESRI imagery tiles each wrote depth, so coplanar neighbours z-fought at the tile seams (horizontal stripes / partial render). Tiles now depth-TEST only; the ocean sphere owns the depth buffer.
+- **Live request-geo dots kept polling on the 3D globe**: the `/v1/world/cloud/*` poll was gated on `renderPaused`, which the native GlobeView sets on activation — so the realtime dots froze the moment you entered the default 3D view. It now gates on tab visibility, so the dots stay live (and fade) on the globe.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Request-origin → serving-region arcs on by default** in the Cloud view: the `/cloud/traffic` arcs derive from the same real native request-geo points as the dots (origin country → nearest Hanzo region) and degrade to empty — never demo.
+
+## [2.4.6]
+
+### Added
+
+- **Enso Flywheel panel (AI variant)**: the router self-improvement loop made visible. New `/v1/world/enso-training` folds the routing-decision ledger tail + reward tail (`export-routing-ledger` / `export-routing-rewards`, super-admin) into ledger growth, engine-vs-heuristic mix, a routing-confidence histogram, and task/model distributions, alongside the latest enso-bench eval scores (an embedded `results/summary.json` snapshot, overridable live via `ENSO_BENCH_URL`). The response is event-typed so future retrain/deploy milestones slot into the same timeline. Eval scores render even signed-out; `state` (live/partial/demo) says which live sources resolved.
+
+## [2.4.5]
+
+### Added
+
+- **AI Compute panel (AI variant)**: live Hanzo inference-plane telemetry over SSE — tokens/s, requests/s, 24h spend, top models by real spend, and the serving fleet (GPUs, machines online, models served). New `/v1/world/ai-pulse` pushes typed `usage`/`fleet`/`status` frames (EventSource) and answers a plain GET with one JSON snapshot as the poll fallback. Honest "connecting"/"unavailable" states — never a zero dressed up as live; the service bearer stays server-side.
+
+## [2.4.4]
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Cloud Pulse is real when a service token is wired**: `/v1/world/cloud-pulse` now folds MEASURED platform-wide 24h request/token volume from the ClickHouse-backed usage ledger (`get-cloud-usages ?org=all`, super-admin) on top of the live model/node/GPU/region counts — dropping both `demo:true` and `volumeModeled:true`. Top models come from real ledger spend. Without a token, or with a non-admin token, it stays honestly demo/modeled — platform numbers are never faked silently. The service bearer stays server-side (never sent to the browser).
+
+## [2.4.2]
+
+### Added
+
+- **Streaming analyst**: answers flow in live over SSE — reasoning shows as dim thinking text, tool calls appear as chips the moment they run, the reply types itself in; the final render and command dispatch are unchanged (done event = the old JSON contract)
+- **Model menu**: the composer pill opens a grouped popover (Auto / Zen / GPT / Llama / Claude / Agents) with per-family marks and an active check
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Model identity**: the Zen ring appears only on zen* models — gpt-oss/llama/claude get their own marks on the pill, menu rows, avatars, and the thinking row
+- **Dev server**: `npm run dev` proxies /v1 to production by default (VITE_DEV_API_PROXY overrides)
+
+## [2.4.1]
+
+### Added
+
+- **Western Pacific cyclones**: cross-agency tropical-cyclone attribution (GDACS + HKO warnings via new `/v1/world/hko-warnings` proxy) with per-agency wind observations, canonical dedup, and map popup detail rows
+- **China macro snapshot**: `/v1/world/china-macro` — CPI/CLI (OECD), policy rate, USD/CNY (FRED), HKMA context, NBS release calendar + PBoC LPR dates, surfaced with staleness-honest indicator tiles
+- **Model roster**: `Best (auto)` leads the analyst model picker — the gateway routing alias that always resolves
+
+### Changed
+
+- **AI default model**: `zen5` → `best`; a pinned family id goes dark when the inference plane's claim catalog shifts, the routing alias never does
+- **Server cache is now stale-while-revalidate**: `cachedJSON`/`passthrough` serve stale instantly and refresh in the background (single-flight); GDELT/theater-posture no longer stall requests ~10s on TTL expiry
+- **GDELT cache warmers**: hot keys (analyst grounding, protests layer) refreshed every ~4min so no user ever eats a cold miss
+- **Sparkline payloads**: close arrays rounded to 7 significant digits (float32-widening noise stripped, ~40% smaller; scalars untouched)
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **News first paint**: panels no longer gate their first DOM write on a 65MB ML sentiment model download — headlines paint immediately, sentiment refines in place
+- **Analyst grounding snapshot**: context fetches bounded at 2.5s so a cold endpoint can't hold the chat send hostage
+- **AI errors are honest**: upstream error codes (`insufficient_balance`, `spend_cap_exceeded`, …) surface in the chat instead of a bare `status 402`
+
 ## [2.4.0] - 2026-02-19

-//     are all bearer-required; the only public surface, /v1/world/*, is external

-//     dataset with demo:true — the flag travels in the payload and the UI shows a
-//     "demo data" note. We never fake platform numbers silently.
-//   - When an operator wires a service token (HANZO_CLOUD_PULSE_TOKEN, from KMS),
-//     we make SERVICE-side calls to the real cloud for non-sensitive COUNTS only
-//     (models served, node/region/GPU counts) and set demo:false. Request/token
-//     VOLUME still has no aggregate source, so it stays modeled and is flagged
-//     volumeModeled:true — again, never silently faked.
+// HONESTY CONTRACT — NOTHING is fabricated. Every number is REAL (measured by an
+// actual backend) or an honest zero/empty. There is no diurnal-sine "demo" curve,
+// no hardcoded uptime, no invented model mix or per-region rate. The honest source
+// ladder (producePulse), best → last:

-// Signed-in, org-scoped drill-down (the user's own fleet / models / bill) does
-// NOT come through here — those panels call api.hanzo.ai directly with the
-// caller's IAM token (no shared key). This route is the public teaser only.
+//   - VOLUME (requests/sec, 24h requests/tokens, series, model mix):
+//       1. the super-admin usage ledger (get-cloud-usages ?org=all, ClickHouse) —
+//          MEASURED and exact (tokens + spend); clears volumeModeled.
+//       2. else the REAL, public endpoints this same binary already serves: the
+//          native request-geo globe (traffic-globe, totals.rps_1m) for the
+//          headline rate, and the learned-router stats (router-stats) for total
+//          routed requests + hourly throughput + per-model mix. Token volume is not
+//          measured on this path, so tokens stay blank and volumeModeled stays true.
+//       3. else empty (zeros / empty arrays).
+//   - FLEET COUNTS + REGION breakdown: the service-token visor (/v1/machines,
+//     /v1/gpus) + ai catalog (/v1/models). Absent ⇒ zeros and an empty region list
+//     built from the real fleet — never the geo catalog as if it were live.
+//   - UPTIME: the public status page (Gatus up/total). Unreachable ⇒ 0 and the
+//     overview drops the tile — never a constant.
+//
+// demo:true means ONLY that nothing real resolved (a warming-up / not-wired state),
