Synthesis of an 8-persona review of the live map (/live: LiveView, MapView, live/WallPanels, TimeScrubber, liveWall.ts, c2-core traffic/cameras/telemetry/media/alerter) against Server origin/main c4e1f9a. Personas: PD real-time crime center supervisor (TOC), Con Ed NOC, MTA rail/bus control (RCC), corporate GSOC, county OEM, newsroom assignment editor, volunteer FD chief/dispatcher, scanner power user/journalist. Demand = personas asking, of 8.

Verdict across the panel: nobody would put it on their wall yet. The bones (incident-first rail, pursuit paths sharing the spine index, nearest-camera picks, honest licence gating) beat what they use today. What blocks it is truth (false 'Live', untrusted lifecycle), no audio, and no memory of the layout.

NOW (high demand, S/M, no legal blocker)

#232 Truth strip replaces heartbeat-driven 'Live' pill (6/8, S)
#234 Saved views in hash + per-viewer memory + kiosk mode (8/8, S)
#233 Click-to-listen on spine/path stops/rail + media.py Range (6/8, M)
#236 Honest pins/paths: location confidence, type-gated paths, impossible-speed stops (6/8, M)
#237 Weather: NWS warning polygons, radar valid time/legend/loop, wind at incident (8/8, S)
#239 500-call window truncates paths/spine/7d scrubber; deep links to resolved incidents (4/8, S/M)
#235 Filter bar, discipline presets, text search (5/8, M)
#238 Attention cues: NEW lane, opt-in tone, in-tab notifications (5/8, S/M)

#240 History mode: scrubber playhead moves — resolved_at already exists (#18 closed; TimeScrubber/UI_REDESIGN chunk 13 text is stale) (8/8, L)
#241 Geofenced watch zones / protected sites (7/8, L) — blocked on #13, #4, CISO
#243 Notes, disposition, export/handoff, Teams/Slack/signed webhook (6/8, M) — blocked on #43, Member and node write endpoints are platform-admin-only, blocking org owners (#9)
#184 Power-outage layer + wires-down cross-match (6/8, M) — existing issue, licensing comment added
#242 Storm/utility hazard subtype (4/8, M) — needs drb-correlation-review
#244 Aircraft: squawk/category, rotorcraft, orbit detection, TFRs (5/8, M, cross-repo)
#245 Transit layer: MTA GTFS + service alerts (5/8, M) — needs-decision on MTA commercial terms
#246 Keyboard command layer + mobile field mode (3/8, M)

LATER (not filed individually)

Live talkgroup monitor (PulseAudio path, never Icecast) · Pursuit mode (head label, chevrons, km/h, exit cone; needs highway/intersection geocodes) · Unit/apparatus 'who's committed' board (blocked on #155) · Fireground benchmark clock (working fire, 2nd alarm, PAR, MAYDAY) · Jurisdiction + critical-infrastructure base layers (PD sectors, fire districts, stations, hospitals, hydrants via OSM ODbL; HIFLD Open was wound down — re-check source) · Hydro gauges (phase 2 of #237) · Hex-bin heatmap / hotspot clustering (skewed by #189/#28 until fixed) · Crowd/permitted-event layer · SITREP generator (on top of #243) · Operator annotation layer / newsroom assignment board (blocked #9, #13) · Per-incident confidence meter / time-to-know stamp · Public share card (must match BUSINESS_MODEL Public tier: >=30 min delay, no audio/transcripts/names; behind Gate A/#47) · Incident clip export (MP4/SRT) · Heat index, NASA FIRMS/HMS smoke, ERG hazmat rings · Licensed home-market cameras: #198, #201, #202 (comment added on #198).

Dropped (conflicts with a standing rule or terms)

PulsePoint / Active911 / Citizen feeds: no public API, ToS forbid scraping. Partnership/sales lead only.
Waze for Cities (CCP): public-agency partnership; a commercial vendor likely doesn't qualify.
Scraped utility outage JSON shipped commercially (Kubra): terms unclear/forbidding — licensed API or agreement only (see #184).
Plate/LPR-style vehicle tracking beyond transcript text: CISO frame/plate ruling #200.
Displaying FAA registrant names, or labelling law-enforcement tails by agency: names policy (BUSINESS_MODEL, E&O) and agency hostility.
Camera pixels as evidence / frame capture: #199/#200 pending; link-only marker stays LATER.
NYS EPCRA Tier II hazmat data: not public (responder-only).
NYS Mesonet: data agreement restricts commercial use.
ADS-B Exchange / FlightAware APIs: commercial terms; use own-node ADS-B.
Customer asset geometry read directly from browser Firestore: #13 rules undeployed — server-mediated only (#241).

Top map pain points (ranked)

'Live' pill stays green while AI pipeline is dead (#196 period) — Map: 'Live' pill is driven by node heartbeats, so the wall reads live while transcription/correlation are dead (#232)
No audio on the wall — #233
Layout/layers reset on every reload — #234
False Majors / incidents never clear — #155, #190, #189 (comments added)
500-call window silently truncates paths and history — #239
Also: unreadable tiles / zoom-back #136, #137 (comments added); names on the ticker #43 (comment added).

Measurement note: #196 (AI dark) means the live map currently shows no new incidents; nothing in this review was measured off live data.

OSINT layer: utility power outages (Con Ed / NYSEG) on the map #184

2026-10-05 02:22:58 -04:00

Owner decision 2026-10-05 — roadmap revised. Outage maps and plate tracking are in; everything else the panel dropped stays dropped (PulsePoint/Active911/Citizen, Waze CCP, scraped Kubra JSON, Tier II hazmat, FAA registrant names, NYS Mesonet, ADS-B Exchange/FlightAware).

NOW (building now)

#232 Truth strip replaces heartbeat 'Live' pill (p1)
#233 Click-to-listen + media.py Range (p1)
#234 Saved views in hash, per-viewer memory, kiosk (p1)
#235 Filter bar, presets, text search (p2)
#236 Honest pins/paths (p1)
#237 Weather: NWS polygons, radar valid time/legend/loop, wind (p2)
#238 Attention cues: NEW lane, opt-in tone, notifications (p2)
#239 500-call window truncation + resolved deep links (p1)
#184 Power-outage layer — moved up from NEXT, now p1. Licence-gated provider registry like cameras, every provider OFF until a grant is confirmed; source terms recorded on #184 (ODIN county API = unverified/gated, PowerOutage.us = paid, utility storm-center maps = agreement required, EAGLE-I live = agreement required).

#248 Plate tracking from transcripts (new) — spoken plates extracted, searchable, watchlisted, shown where mentioned. Admin/operator only, never public, retention cap. Blocked on a CISO ruling (status/needs-decision).
#240 History mode (scrubber playhead moves)
#241 Geofenced watch zones (blocked #13, #4, CISO)
#243 Notes/disposition/export/webhooks (blocked #43, #9)
#242 Storm/utility hazard subtype (needs drb-correlation-review)
#244 Aircraft squawk/rotorcraft/orbits/TFRs
#245 Transit layer (needs-decision on MTA terms)
#246 Keyboard layer + mobile field mode

LATER

Unchanged from the body above.

Build order for NOW (no two items in a batch share a file)

Batch	Items
1	#232 truth strip · #233 audio + Range · #184 outages backend + admin toggle
2	#234 saved views/kiosk · #237 NWS/METAR backend
3	#235 filter bar · #184 outage map layer + incident cross-match
4	#236 honest pins/paths · #239 window truncation/deep links
5	#238 attention cues · #237 weather map layers

Hot files (MapView, LiveView, WallPanels, main.py, config.py) appear in one item per batch. #233 also owns the spine's "showing N of M" indicator so #239 never touches WallPanels; #236 adds the pin-pulse prop #238 uses.

All 9 NOW items are shipped and live at 4916678:

#232, #233, #234, #235, #236, #237, #238, #239 and OSINT layer: utility power outages (Con Ed / NYSEG) on the map (#184)
follow-ups #268, #275, #278 and Map: incident pins rebuilt every second (clock re-render) — pin pulse restarts before it completes (#279)

None of it has been tested in a browser yet. NEXT is unchanged. #248 (plates) is waiting on the owner to accept the CISO conditions.
