ShadowBroker v0.9.5

The Voltron Update

The best of both worlds — GitHub community contributions merged with our modular local architecture.

Docker users: This is a major architectural update. The in-app updater cannot apply it inside containers. Run:

docker-compose down && git pull && docker-compose up -d --build

This is the last manual update required — v0.9.5+ supports bulletproof in-app updates going forward.

New Capabilities

• Parallelized Boot (15s Cold Start) — ThreadPoolExecutor runs all data tiers concurrently
• Adaptive Polling + ETag Caching — continuous data flow, no more bbox interrupts
• Sliding Edge Panels (LAYERS / INTEL) — spring-animated side tabs replace bulky Record Panel
• Admin Auth + Rate Limiting + Auto-Updater — X-Admin-Key, slowapi, one-click GitHub updates
• Docker Swarm Secrets Support — load API keys from /run/secrets/ in production

Fixes & Improvements

• Stable entity IDs for GDELT & News popups — no more wrong popup after data refresh (PR #63)
• useCallback optimization for interpolation — eliminates redundant re-renders every 1s tick
• Restored missing GDELT and datacenter background refreshes in slow-tier loop
• Server-side viewport bbox filtering reduces JSON payloads 80%+
• Modular fetcher architecture (flights, geo, infrastructure, financial, earth_observation)
• CCTV ingestors instantiated once at startup — no more fresh DB connections every 10min

Architecture

• 85+ vitest tests + CI pipeline (.github/workflows/ci.yml)
• Extracted geoJSONBuilders, useInterpolation, useClusterLabels, alertSpread utilities
• Custom hooks: useDataPolling, useRegionDossier, useReverseGeocode
• Backend env_check.py with warning tiers + retry decorator on all fetchers

Contributors
