PROBLEM:
- Aircraft were appearing ~100km from receiver when actually ~5km away
- CPR (Compact Position Reporting) algorithm has zone ambiguity issue
- Without reference position, aircraft can appear in wrong 6-degree zones
SOLUTION:
- Add receiver reference position to CPR decoder for zone resolution
- Modified NewDecoder() to accept reference latitude/longitude parameters
- Implement distance-based zone selection (choose solution closest to receiver)
- Updated all decoder instantiations to pass receiver coordinates
TECHNICAL CHANGES:
- decoder.go: Add refLatitude/refLongitude fields and zone ambiguity resolution
- beast.go: Pass source coordinates to NewDecoder()
- beast-dump/main.go: Use default coordinates (0,0) for command-line tool
- merger.go: Add position update debugging for verification
- JavaScript: Add coordinate validation and update logging
RESULT:
- Aircraft now appear at correct distances from receiver
- CPR zone selection based on proximity to known receiver location
- Resolves fundamental ADS-B position accuracy issue

Root cause: The merger was blocking position updates from the same source
after the first position was established, designed for multi-source scenarios
but preventing single-source position updates.
Changes:
- Refactor JavaScript into modular architecture (WebSocketManager, AircraftManager, MapManager, UIManager)
- Add CPR coordinate validation to prevent invalid latitude/longitude values
- Fix merger to allow position updates from same source for moving aircraft
- Add comprehensive coordinate bounds checking in CPR decoder
- Update HTML to use new modular JavaScript with cache busting
- Add WebSocket debug logging to track data flow
Technical details:
- CPR decoder now validates coordinates within ±90° latitude, ±180° longitude
- Merger allows updates when currentBest == sourceID (same source continuous updates)
- JavaScript modules provide better separation of concerns and debugging
- WebSocket properly transmits updated aircraft coordinates to frontend

Major improvements to Beast message decoding and data presentation:
Speed & Track Formatting:
- Convert ground speed from float to integer (knots)
- Convert track angle from float to integer (0-359 degrees)
- Add proper rounding for velocity calculations
- Fix surface movement speed calculations
Altitude Decoding Enhancement:
- Implement proper Q-bit handling in altitude decoding
- Add altitude validation (range: -1000 to 60000 feet)
- Fix standard altitude encoding with 25-foot increments
- Add legacy Gray code support for older transponders
- Remove duplicate altitude values caused by incorrect decoding
ICAO Address Display:
- Fix JavaScript hex conversion that caused display corruption
- Remove duplicate toString(16) calls on already-formatted hex strings
- Proper ICAO display format (6-character hex like "4ACA0C")
Data Type Consistency:
- Update Aircraft struct to use integers for GroundSpeed and Track
- Update SpeedPoint struct for consistent integer speed/track storage
- Maintain float64 precision internally while displaying clean integers
Signal Strength:
- Confirm signal strength extraction is working properly
- Signal levels properly flow from Beast parser through merger to frontend
- Display in dBFS format (e.g., -1.57 dBFS)
Results:
- Clean integer speed values (198 kt instead of 238.03361107205006 kt)
- Proper track angles (41° instead of 37.83276127148023°)
- Realistic varying altitudes (1750-1825 ft instead of repeated 24450 ft)
- Correct ICAO formatting (4ACA0C instead of corrupted 103A)
- Working signal strength display (-0.98 to -2.16 dBFS)
The Beast decoder now produces accurate, properly formatted aircraft data
that displays cleanly in the web interface without data corruption.

- Clean up module dependencies with go mod tidy
Documentation:
- Add comprehensive godoc documentation to all packages
- Document CPR position decoding algorithm with mathematical details
- Document multi-source data fusion strategies
- Add function/method documentation with parameters and return values
- Document error handling and recovery strategies
- Add performance considerations and architectural decisions
README Updates:
- Update project structure to reflect assets/ organization
- Add new features: smart origin, Reset Map button, map controls

Backend Changes:
- Added OriginConfig struct to server package
- Modified NewServer to accept origin configuration
- Added /api/origin endpoint to serve origin data to frontend
- Updated main.go to pass origin configuration to server
Frontend Changes:
- Modified initializeMap() to fetch origin from API before map creation
- Updated initializeCoverageMap() to also use origin data
- Added fallback coordinates in case API request fails
- Maps now center on the calculated origin position instead of hardcoded coordinates
The map now properly centers on the calculated average position of enabled
sources (or manually configured origin), providing a much better user experience
with appropriate regional view.

Asset Module:
- Created internal/assets package for clean embedded static file management
- Embedded static files from single source location (static/ directory)
- Eliminated need for duplicate static files or symlinks
- Assets accessible via assets.Static from any package
Origin Configuration:
- Added origin field to configuration with latitude, longitude, and name
- Automatically calculates origin as average of source positions if not specified
- Displays origin information on startup
- Updated config.example.json to show origin usage
Architecture:
- Moved main.go back to cmd/skyview/ structure
- Updated Makefile to build from cmd/skyview
- Clean separation of concerns with reusable asset module
This provides a robust foundation for asset management and proper origin
handling for distance calculations and map centering.

Problem: Clicking on tabs other than Map caused JavaScript errors due to
incorrect DOM element ID resolution in switchView() method.
Root cause: The viewId extraction from button IDs didn't match the expected
view element IDs, causing null reference errors when trying to add classes.
Solution:
- Fixed switchView() to correctly handle view IDs (e.g., "map-view")
- Added null checks for DOM elements to prevent crashes
- Updated this.currentView initialization and comparisons to match full IDs
- Ensured view-specific initialization works with correct baseName extraction
Now all tabs (Map, Table, Statistics, Coverage, 3D Radar) work without errors.

Problem: Source markers were being recreated on every WebSocket update
(every second), which destroyed any open popups.
Solution: Modified updateSourceMarkers() to:
- Only remove markers for sources that no longer exist
- Update existing markers in-place instead of recreating them
- Preserve open popups by updating content instead of recreating markers
- Only create new markers when sources are actually added
This ensures that clicking on a source marker opens a popup that stays
open for user interaction, similar to aircraft popups.
