Changelog

Current version: v0.10.3

• UPD Alert flash stroke-width doubled — peak now 24px (was 12px) for more visible pulsing

• NEW Clicking an alert in the sidebar now flashes its map area for 5 seconds (same animation as new alerts)
• UPD Refactored flash into shared flashAlertLayers() helper

• NEW Disclaimer added to Info modal — not for life-safety decisions, use at your own risk

• FIX "Most Recent" sort now shows newest alerts at the top (sorted by sent timestamp descending)

• NEW Sidebar alerts show live "issued HH:MM:SS ago" counter below the title, ticking every second

• NEW Test alert CLI — inject synthetic alerts to verify flash, scoring, and pipeline
• NEW POST /test_alert endpoint with shared secret auth
• NEW 8 named presets: tornado, blizzard, flood, heat, aqhi, earthquake, amber, fire
• UPD Test alerts (CAP status=Test) excluded from hazard scoring

• FIX New alert flash extended to 5 seconds — map shapes pulse with thick stroke, sidebar entries flash severity colour
• FIX Flash now works while viewing alert details — 300ms render delay ensures Leaflet SVG elements exist
• UPD Map flash uses SVG stroke-width/fill-opacity animation instead of CSS transform (Leaflet SVG compatible)

• NEW Light mode — toggle between dark and light themes via button below heartbeat
• NEW User preferences persisted to localStorage — theme, overlays, language, sort, BI filter
• UPD CSS refactored to use CSS custom properties throughout for both themes
• UPD Map tiles swap between CARTO dark_all and light_all with theme
• UPD Expandable groups auto-expand on load if sub-checkboxes were saved as checked

• UPD New alert map flash now scales shapes up 1.5× then shrinks back while flashing
• NEW New alert sidebar flash — sidebar entry pulses with severity colour background

• NEW New alert flash — incoming alerts pulse their map areas 4× over 1 second
• UPD Ticker endpoint now returns numeric score for frontend consumption

• NEW Smoke Forecast overlay — ECCC FireWork (RAQDPS-FW) wildfire smoke PM2.5 via WMS tiles

• FIX Threat level recalibrated — removed global earthquake inflation (USGS feed is worldwide), dropped BI double-counting, FIRMS hotspots no longer score
• UPD New thresholds: normal <12, moderate 12–39, elevated 40–79, extreme 80+ — extreme reserved for genuine multi-hazard crises
• NEW Score breakdown logged to journalctl for tuning

• FIX Ticker now proactively fetches all data sources — no longer depends on users toggling overlays
• UPD Refactored overlay fetch logic into shared _ensure_*_cache() helpers (DRY)

• NEW "Active Emergency Alerts" section title above the alert sort/list
• UPD Viewers badge colour changed from purple to orange (#ff9800)

• FIX Recalibrated threat level scoring — 6 severe alerts no longer triggers "extreme"; thresholds raised to 10/30/60
• UPD Severe alerts weight reduced ×5→×2 (routine in Canada); extreme alerts ×8; BI ×2; thresholds documented in code

• NEW AI-powered situation ticker — scrolling bottom bar with real-time hazard synopsis across Canada
• NEW Threat level indicator — colour-coded ticker border (green/gold/orange/red) based on aggregate severity
• NEW Trend tracking — compares current data against snapshots from the past hour (↑↓→)
• NEW Template fallback ticker when no API key configured

• UPD Wildfire filters: individual checkboxes for OC, BH, UC, TO, EX; All Others catches unrecognised codes

• NEW Wildfires expandable submenu with stage of control filters: OC, UC, All Others

• FIX Share button now visible in alert detail header, right-justified beside title

• NEW Changelog modal — track all changes from this version forward
