Radar RS Analyst v0.2.2

Radar RS Analyst v0.2.2

Supersedes v0.2.1 with the accepted history/live/portability/velocity work plus the extra velocity-dealias spoke guardrails from review.

Highlights:

• Frame history with selectable 3/5/7/10/15/20/25/30 frame limits.
• Timeline scrubber, previous/next controls, and play/pause looping.
• Explicit Load Loop history backfill so normal live loading stays focused on current data.
• Level II live backfill and live partial handling with stale/partial/complete labels.
• Low-level live chunk display is gated by the Chunks option; default waits for a complete low-level tilt.
• Same-site live refresh preserves map view and product selection, including velocity.
• Multi-radar overlays remain available while the primary radar keeps priority.
• RadarScope/analyst-style stepped palette parsing and additional REF/VEL color presets.
• Plain VEL can use the dealiased continuity grid by default via Unfold VEL.
• Velocity dealias spoke guardrails: radial unfold cap reduced, stale slope propagation after gaps blocked, and isolated spoke cleanup retained.
• Portable cache/config paths; no Drew/source-tree runtime path dependency found in source or release EXE audit.
• Profiling examples for single and multi-radar decode/render/memory checks.

Verification:

• cargo test -p render2d velocity_dealias -- --nocapture
• cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
• cargo test -p render2d -p app_ui -p color_tables -p data_source
• cargo build --release -p app_ui with path remapping
• Source hardcoded-path audit passed.
• Release EXE binary string audit passed for Drew/Codex/Downloads/source-tree paths.

Known caveat:
The velocity dealiaser is still a lightweight local implementation, not a full GR2A/RadarScope-grade dealiaser. It now has additional radial-spoke guardrails, but complex velocity regions can still differ from commercial tools.

GPT Velocity Live Review 20260609

Review build for GPT 5.5 Pro / velocity-live workflow review.

Branch: review/gpt-velocity-live-20260609
Commit: 68ac4f5

Key changes:

• Stabilized live refresh: no blanking on same-site refresh, no preview/double-install churn while data is already visible.
• Auto-advances only to meaningfully newer low-level SAILS cuts: <= 1.0 deg and at least 90 seconds newer.
• History playback is protected from live refresh selection stealing.
• History strip is scoped to the active radar site.
• Live warning polygons require active api.weather.gov/alerts authority; hot text can enrich but not create standalone active TOR/SVR/etc polygons.
• Timeline scrubber uses full panel width with fixed-height status/frame areas to avoid UI jitter while scrubbing.
• Tuned Analyst Tornado VEL, Analyst Pro VEL, and RadarScope Contrast VEL toward brighter RadarScope-style velocity contrast.

Attached data bundle:

• velocity-review-bundle-20260609.zip includes latest three completed Level II archive volumes per KICT/KTWX plus latest assembled realtime partials.
• Use low-level velocity/SRV tilts around 0.5-1.0 deg for palette/render review.

Verification:

• cargo test -p app_ui -p color_tables -p data_source passed.

Velocity Unfold Review 20260609

Review build for Radar RS Analyst velocity rendering and dealias diagnostics.

Branch: review/velocity-unfolded-colors-20260609
Commit: de59806 Improve velocity unfolding display

Changes:

• Adds Unfold VEL display mode, default on, so plain VEL display colors use the dealiased continuity grid while raw VEL remains available by turning the checkbox off.
• Adds a bounded 2D azimuth/gate consensus pass after radial velocity unwrap.
• Adds conservative unsupported-radial-spike suppression for DVEL ray artifacts.
• Hardens render worker cache signatures with product, dealiased render mode, and storm-motion identity so VEL/DVEL/SRV/DSRV cannot reuse misleading buffers.
• Retunes accepted velocity palettes so strong inbound cores trend white/cyan/blue and strong outbound cores trend white/orange.
• Adds velocity_event_probe example for KTWX/KICT style folded-core diagnosis.

Portability:

• Windows review EXE was rebuilt with Rust path remapping for the checkout and Cargo registry paths.
• Binary string audit is clean for C:\Users\drew, Documents\Codex, Downloads, radar-rs-analyst-history-clean, and files-mentioned-by-the-user-pasted.

Evidence:

• KTWX 2026-06-09 04:12:34 probe: raw +25.5 m/s folded gates in the bad area unfold to about -25.8 m/s and now sample as pale cyan/white instead of red when Unfold VEL is on.
• cargo test -p render2d -p app_ui -p color_tables -p data_source
• cargo build --release -p app_ui
• perf_probe KTWX: decode p50 60.650 ms; DVEL direct p50 2.067 ms; DVEL cached p50 0.128 ms.
• multisite_profile 1/5/10 retained radars: 88.8 MB / 234.2 MB / 579.6 MB working set.

Known caveat:

• This is still a lightweight local dealiaser, not a full GR2A/RadarScope-grade algorithm. Some complex regions can still classify differently, but the obvious folded-positive-as-red case and unsupported ray artifacts are specifically targeted.

GPT Velocity Diagnostic Review 20260609

Review drop for GPT / human follow-up on live radar + velocity color behavior.

Branch: review/gpt-velocity-diagnostic-20260609
Commit: 8bd86b3 Add velocity color polarity diagnostic

Included changes in this branch:

• Keeps live low-tilt/full-tilt gating changes intended to avoid partial-sector black-screen chunk flashes when chunks are off.
• Preserves selected velocity product during live partial refresh when VEL is not available yet.
• Adds accepted velocity/reflection color-table tuning already on the review branch.
• Adds Sign Check VEL and a Flip VEL colors diagnostic checkbox to help determine whether the remaining mismatch is polarity, table sampling, or deeper velocity rendering behavior.

Known concern for review:

• User still reports velocity color mismatch versus RadarScope/GR2A on KTWX/KICT cases, especially white/red appearing where white/blue is expected near strong velocity cores. This release is for review/diagnosis, not a final visual-quality signoff.

Verification before release:

• cargo build --release -p app_ui
• cargo test -p app_ui -p color_tables -p data_source

Radar RS Analyst GPT Pro Palette Review

Prerelease review build for GPT Pro / visual palette review.

Changes in this build:

• REF presets narrowed to GR2Analyst Classic, NWS Classic, Dark Scope, Hail Core, and Low Precip.
• VEL presets narrowed to Analyst Tornado, Analyst Pro, and RadarScope Contrast.
• Reflectivity presets now hide low-end junk below roughly 10 dBZ.
• Reflectivity high-end ramps are stretched so magenta/purple/white arrive later.
• Includes prior KAMA realtime chunk-selection fix and palette quantized-step support.

Verification:

• cargo test -p color_tables -p app_ui -p render2d -p data_source
• cargo build --release -p app_ui

Radar RS Analyst History Test 2026-06-08

History/looping test build from feature/history-looping-portability.

Included:

• Frame history sizes 3/5/7/10/15/20/25/30 with scrubber, previous/next, and play/pause looping.
• Level II realtime first-frame load prioritized for fast first visible data.
• History loading is now explicit: Load Selected loads the current frame; Load Loop fetches loop history.
• Explicit Load Loop archive history loads are bounded-parallel, while realtime chunks continue using chunk-batch parallel downloads.
• Cache/runtime path portability fixes to avoid Drew/source-tree-specific runtime paths.
• Hazard geometry guard for malformed cross-country overlay artifacts.

Verification:

• cargo test -p app_ui passed.
• cargo build --release -p app_ui passed.
• Native app visual checks: normal load produced one frame; Load Loop filled the 7-frame history.
