0.57.3

Altnautica Command v0.57.3

A third follow-up patch to 0.57.0, shipping three hotfixes that landed the
day after 0.57.2. Everything below is otherwise unchanged from 0.57.2,
repeated here so an update from before that release carries the full picture.

Added

• Four-firmware flight controller configuration. ArduPilot, PX4, Betaflight
  and iNav each gain deep configuration surfaces. ArduPilot adds rover steering
  and speed tuning, an EKF3 estimator panel, telemetry stream rates, QuadPlane
  and VTOL, plane energy and navigation tuning, ArduSub, traditional
  helicopter, non-GPS positioning, multi-instance rangefinders, airspeed,
  harmonic notch, sailboat, gripper and ADS-b. PX4 adds flight behavior,
  fixed-wing tuning, autotune for multicopter and fixed wing, VTOL transition,
  GPS, control allocation, live actuator test and thermal calibration.
  Betaflight adds serial ports, OSD with font upload, LED strip with a 16-colour
  palette and mode-colour editor, receiver configuration, DShot special
  commands, blackbox download and a CLI terminal with live output. iNav adds
  per-index logic conditions, live global variables, OSD font upload and
  editable landing datums.
• Parameter metadata registry with bitmask and enum editors. Parameter
  metadata now ships bundled with the app, so full names, ranges, units,
  defaults and per-bit flag descriptions are available offline for every
  firmware rather than only when an external site is reachable. A Set Bitmask
  modal gives you labelled per-bit checkboxes with search, raw decimal and hex,
  and preservation of bits it does not recognise, so an undocumented flag is
  never silently cleared. Enum parameters get a real dropdown. An Options column
  shows the decoded value at a glance, and the write confirmation shows the flag
  difference before you commit.
• A hosted parameter registry overlay. On top of the bundled floor, the app
  can pull versioned metadata snapshots so parameter help matches the firmware
  version actually on the board. iNav gains its full named-settings registry of
  677 settings.
• A JavaScript expression compiler for iNav logic conditions. Write a plain
  expression and it compiles down to the underlying logic-condition slots
  instead of hand-assembling them one row at a time.
• Onboard Lua scripting for ArduPilot. A Scripts section under Setup manages
  the scripts on the board over MAVLink file transfer, with upload by drag and
  drop, download, delete, engine configuration and a filtered script console.
  A starter catalog of first-party applets is one click to install.
• MAVLink file transfer, structured events and native sockets. The file
  transfer client now writes, lists and removes as well as reads, and is
  hardened against a lossy or hostile server. PX4 structured events (message
  410) decode into a readable feed backed by the vehicle's own event metadata,
  so prearm, mode and failsafe messages are finally visible. Parameter metadata
  can be served by the flight controller itself. The desktop app connects over
  native UDP and TCP in addition to serial.
• Mission planning, rebuilt. The Plan tab gains a survey solver that works
  backwards from the ground sample distance you want to an altitude and a
  motion-blur-safe speed, wind-optimised line orientation, fixed-wing turnaround
  geometry, keep-out polygon skipping, a coverage footprint overlay, a quick
  builder from the map bounds, and a change-detection resurvey planner. Landing
  patterns cover fixed wing and VTOL.
• A per-waypoint action timeline. Actions attach to the waypoint they belong
  to, edited inline with reordering and a jump-target picker, and flatten and
  re-nest correctly across upload, download, export and import. The command
  palette filters to what your firmware actually supports.
• Mission checks before you fly. Upload is blocked while validation errors
  stand. Inclusion and exclusion zones, rally points and terrain clearance are
  enforced, with a soft-buffer warning short of a hard breach. Terrain conflicts
  are flagged along each leg and on the return-to-launch leg. There is an
  advisory item-count check against the flight controller, a keyless airport
  proximity gate, a flight energy model, sun times with a golden-hour card and a
  pre-flight checklist.
• Weather, import, export and sharing in the planner. A keyless go/no-go
  weather card, boundary import from KML, KMZ and shapefiles, GeoTIFF orthophoto
  overlay, a flight-brief PDF export, a built-in mission template library, plan
  folders, points of interest, and shareable plan links that encode the plan in
  the URL fragment so nothing leaves your machine.
• A copilot for mission intent. Describe what you want in plain words and a
  deterministic parser sets up the matching pattern. No key and no external
  service.
• Coordinates and units throughout. Live cursor coordinate and elevation
  readout, a display-format preference across decimal degrees, degrees minutes
  seconds, UTM and MGRS, forward geocoding search on the map, and one shared
  units formatter behind the stats bar, pattern stats and altitude profile.
• The Cockpit. The old Fly Mode is now the Cockpit, split into a Flight tab
  and an immersive Cockpit tab. Flight behaviors are skills bound to hotkeys and
  gamepad buttons on a shared skill bar, contributed by built-in commands and
  extensions through the same registry. Widgets are arrangeable by zone and
  persist with your loadout, information density is a per-loadout setting, and a
  command palette on Ctrl or Cmd plus K searches and runs any drone command
  through the same pipeline. The safety band showing arm state, battery, GPS and
  link never hides.
• Target designation in the Cockpit. Click a detection to designate it. A
  what-is-locked chip names the current target, an aim-ahead lead reticle tracks
  a moving one, and extensions contribute their own target actions into the
  click popup with their own hotkeys. Detection boxes ease between batches so
  they follow motion instead of stepping.
• Multi-camera video with picture-in-picture. A node exposing more than one
  camera gets stream tabs at the top left, switched by the number keys or by
  cycling. A second stream can be pinned as a picture-in-picture inset whose
  position persists per loadout. Concurrent streams flip instantly by
  re-pointing at each leg's own address, switching is debounced so a rapid flip
  cannot stack encoder restarts, and a dead leg is disabled rather than shown
  as live.
• Camera roster management. A Cameras surface on the node detail reads the
  roster from the agent and round-trips per-leg bitrate and calibration.
• A Nodes fleet board. A third dashboard view mode renders a dense live
  table ordered live, then stale, then offline. Each row carries reach, link,
  battery, mode and role, with per-row controls that act on that node over the
  LAN or the cloud queue. Rows support selection, bulk apply-one-change and
  search, and flight controls are gated on the same liveness the board shows.
• A unified per-profile node console. One console adapts to the node in
  front of you across drone, flight controller, ground station and workstation,
  with a profile-aware hero header, sidebar and overview. The agent dashboard is
  folded into Overview, the last tab you used is restored per node, and a
  per-node feature framework lets you opt a drone into World Model capture.
• A node Settings tab with thirteen configuration pages. Network uplink,
  Wi-Fi scan and join, cellular APN, MAC pinning and adapter stability,
  self-heal and link guardian, MAVLink routing, security, vision and
  perception, world model, discovery and reach names, video and cameras, and
  cloud, organised behind two-tier grouped navigation and reachable over the
  LAN or the cloud.
  Security downgrades and link-affecting toggles ask for confirmation first.
• Relayed enrollment and a live mesh map. A drone linked to a paired ground
  node over the radio enrolls as its own node, nested under the ground node that
  carries it, with per-bearer reach provenance rather than a bare label. A live
  node-to-node mesh and reach map names each relay funnel.
• Extensions. What were called plugins are now Extensions, on a contribution
  platform. One manifest block contributes tabs, settings sections, parameters,
  models, mission templates, map overlays, skills, target actions and tools, all
  resolved through one registry so a built-in surface and an extension surface
  are the same shape. Parameters are described by JSON Schema and rendered
  natively. Install works from the registry, from a URL pinned to the bytes the
  agent reviewed, and local-first from a paired agent over the LAN with no cloud
  round trip. The install dialog was rebuilt around trust signals, capability
  chips and a contributions summary.
• An MCP tab. Connect an AI client to your fleet through the Model Context
  Protocol. A guided local-first setup wizard takes you from nothing to a
  connected client in five steps with a live connection check, including a
  one-command option that covers every drone on your LAN with no file and no
  login. Machine credentials are scoped by capability and by node with an
  expiry, and there is a searchable tool catalog, an audit log and a live panel
  that shows calls as they happen.
• Perception. The Vision tab is now Perception, grouped into engine,
  execution, feed health, inputs and models. A drone without an accelerator can
  offload detection to a paired workstation, configured per node, with the tier
  and target surfaced honestly in the Cockpit beside streaming-session health.
  Detections carry lock state and association confidence, are keyed by model and
  camera stream, and reach the app over the cloud relay as well as the LAN.
• ADOS Workstation. The compute profile is now the Workstation, with a

0.57.0

Altnautica Command v0.57.0

This release rolls up everything since 0.34.4, covering versions 0.35.0 through
0.57.0 and roughly five weeks of work. Highlights below, grouped by area.

The thread running through it is breadth. Mission Control now configures four
flight-controller firmwares at the depth their own configurators do, plans and
checks a mission against terrain, airspace, energy and weather before you fly
it, and treats every node in a fleet as a first-class object with its own
console, settings and reach provenance.

Added

• Four-firmware flight controller configuration. ArduPilot, PX4, Betaflight
  and iNav each gain deep configuration surfaces. ArduPilot adds rover steering
  and speed tuning, an EKF3 estimator panel, telemetry stream rates, QuadPlane
  and VTOL, plane energy and navigation tuning, ArduSub, traditional
  helicopter, non-GPS positioning, multi-instance rangefinders, airspeed,
  harmonic notch, sailboat, gripper and ADS-B. PX4 adds flight behavior,
  fixed-wing tuning, autotune for multicopter and fixed wing, VTOL transition,
  GPS, control allocation, live actuator test and thermal calibration.
  Betaflight adds serial ports, OSD with font upload, LED strip with a 16-colour
  palette and mode-colour editor, receiver configuration, DShot special
  commands, blackbox download and a CLI terminal with live output. iNav adds
  per-index logic conditions, live global variables, OSD font upload and
  editable landing datums.

  patterns cover fixed wing and VTOL.
• A per-waypoint action timeline. Actions attach to the waypoint they belong
  to, edited inline with reordering and a jump-target picker, and flatten and
  re-nest correctly across upload, download, export and import. The command
  palette filters to what your firmware actually supports.
• Mission checks before you fly. Upload is blocked while validation errors
  stand. Inclusion and exclusion zones, rally points and terrain clearance are
  enforced, with a soft-buffer warning short of a hard breach. Terrain conflicts
  are flagged along each leg and on the return-to-launch leg. There is an
  advisory item-count check against the flight controller, a keyless airport
  proximity gate, a flight energy model, sun times with a golden-hour card and a
  pre-flight checklist.
• Weather, import, export and sharing in the planner. A keyless go/no-go
  weather card, boundary import from KML, KMZ and shapefiles, GeoTIFF orthophoto
  overlay, a flight-brief PDF export, a built-in mission template library, plan
  folders, points of interest, and shareable plan links that encode the plan in
  the URL fragment so nothing leaves your machine.
• A copilot for mission intent. Describe what you want in plain words and a
  deterministic parser sets up the matching pattern. No key and no external
  service.
• Coordinates and units throughout. Live cursor coordinate and elevation
  readout, a display-format preference across decimal degrees, degrees minutes
  seconds, UTM and MGRS, forward geocoding search on the map, and one shared
  units formatter behind the stats bar, pattern stats and altitude profile.
• The Cockpit. The old Fly Mode is now the Cockpit, split into a Flight tab
  and an immersive Cockpit tab. Flight behaviors are skills bound to hotkeys and
  gamepad buttons on a shared skill bar, contributed by built-in commands and
  extensions through the same registry. Widgets are arrangeable by zone and
  persist with your loadout, information density is a per-loadout setting, and a
  command palette on Ctrl or Cmd plus K searches and runs any drone command
  through the same pipeline. The safety band showing arm state, battery, GPS and
  link never hides.
• Target designation in the Cockpit. Click a detection to designate it. A
  what-is-locked chip names the current target, an aim-ahead lead reticle tracks
  a moving one, and extensions contribute their own target actions into the
  click popup with their own hotkeys. Detection boxes ease between batches so
  they follow motion instead of stepping.
• Multi-camera video with picture-in-picture. A node exposing more than one
  camera gets stream tabs at the top left, switched by the number keys or by
  cycling. A second stream can be pinned as a picture-in-picture inset whose
  position persists per loadout. Concurrent streams flip instantly by
  re-pointing at each leg's own address, switching is debounced so a rapid flip
  cannot stack encoder restarts, and a dead leg is disabled rather than shown
  as live.
• Camera roster management. A Cameras surface on the node detail reads the
  roster from the agent and round-trips per-leg bitrate and calibration.
• A Nodes fleet board. A third dashboard view mode renders a dense live
  table ordered live, then stale, then offline. Each row carries reach, link,
  battery, mode and role, with per-row controls that act on that node over the
  LAN or the cloud queue. Rows support selection, bulk apply-one-change and
  search, and flight controls are gated on the same liveness the board shows.
• A unified per-profile node console. One console adapts to the node in
  front of you across drone, flight controller, ground station and workstation,
  with a profile-aware hero header, sidebar and overview. The agent dashboard is
  folded into Overview, the last tab you used is restored per node, and a
  per-node feature framework lets you opt a drone into World Model capture.
• A node Settings tab with thirteen configuration pages. Network uplink,
  Wi-Fi scan and join, cellular APN, MAC pinning and adapter stability,
  self-heal and link guardian, MAVLink routing, security, vision and
  perception, world model, discovery and reach names, video and cameras, and
  cloud, organised behind two-tier grouped navigation and reachable over the
  LAN or the cloud.
  Security downgrades and link-affecting toggles ask for confirmation first.
• Relayed enrollment and a live mesh map. A drone linked to a paired ground
  node over the radio enrolls as its own node, nested under the ground node that
  carries it, with per-bearer reach provenance rather than a bare label. A live
  node-to-node mesh and reach map names each relay funnel.
• Extensions. What were called plugins are now Extensions, on a contribution
  platform. One manifest block contributes tabs, settings sections, parameters,
  models, mission templates, map overlays, skills, target actions and tools, all
  resolved through one registry so a built-in surface and an extension surface
  are the same shape. Parameters are described by JSON Schema and rendered
  natively. Install works from the registry, from a URL pinned to the bytes the
  agent reviewed, and local-first from a paired agent over the LAN with no cloud
  round trip. The install dialog was rebuilt around trust signals, capability
  chips and a contributions summary.
• An MCP tab. Connect an AI client to your fleet through the Model Context
  Protocol. A guided local-first setup wizard takes you from nothing to a
  connected client in five steps with a live connection check, including a
  one-command option that covers every drone on your LAN with no file and no
  login. Machine credentials are scoped by capability and by node with an
  expiry, and there is a searchable tool catalog, an audit log and a live panel
  that shows calls as they happen.
• Perception. The Vision tab is now Perception, grouped into engine,
  execution, feed health, inputs and models. A drone without an accelerator can
  offload detection to a paired workstation, configured per node, with the tier
  and target surfaced honestly ...

0.34.4

Altnautica Command v0.34.4

A patch over 0.34.3 that makes flight-controller link health honest: the GCS now
tells you when a flight controller is plugged in but is not actually speaking
MAVLink, instead of showing a connected badge over stale telemetry.

Added

• Flight-controller link diagnostics. When a flight controller's port is
  open but no MAVLink heartbeat is decoding, the agent status reads "Port open ·
  no MAVLink" (amber) instead of a false "Connected", with an actionable message
  telling you what to fix — for example, set the flight controller's serial
  protocol to MAVLink (on ArduPilot, SERIAL0_PROTOCOL=2 on the USB port; on
  iNav, enable MAVLink on the port). A board that is speaking MSP instead of
  MAVLink is called out specifically.
• Fleet-card flight-controller pill. The per-drone fleet card surfaces a
  silent flight controller ("FC: no MAVLink" / "FC: MSP") so you can spot it at a
  glance without opening the detail panel, whether the drone is paired over the
  LAN or over the cloud relay.

Fixed

• No more stale telemetry shown as live. When the flight-controller link goes
  silent, the Flight Data card, the telemetry readout, and the drone-detail
  health metrics blank attitude, GPS, and battery to placeholders instead of
  freezing the last sample as if it were live. GPS fields stay gated on a real
  fix.
• Link health reaches both connection paths. The gated link state (transport
  open, heartbeat alive, heartbeat age) and the diagnostic hint now flow through
  both the LAN-direct and cloud-relay views, so a remotely connected operator
  sees the same honest state a locally connected one does.

0.34.3

Altnautica Command v0.34.3

This desktop build is a patch over 0.34.2 (same 0.10.6 through 0.34.x feature
set) that fixes bundled-asset loading in the installed app. Highlights below,
grouped by area.

Added

• Mission planning, reworked. The Plan tab now drives every map tool from a
  single interaction mode with one labeled toolbar, so select, waypoint, draw,
  measure, geofence, and rally no longer fight each other. A persistent hint
  reminds you that a select-click drops a waypoint. Search patterns get an
  explicit Set Datum tool. Rally placement is a sticky tool. Undo is unified
  across waypoints, geofence, rally, and drawn shapes. Each waypoint keeps its
  own altitude reference frame through upload, export, and import. Missions
  export losslessly to .altmission and .kmz. Offline tile download follows
  wherever you have panned the map. A Center Map Here action and working
  geofence-clear and rally-clear buttons round it out.
• Mission upload feedback. Uploading a mission to the flight controller now
  reports success or failure instead of finishing silently, and each waypoint's
  altitude frame is sent exactly as drawn.
• Simulation playback. The simulator runs from a single clock, shows only
  the values it actually models, labels its HUD as a preview rather than live
  telemetry, and preserves the flight duration when you rewind.
• Fleet dashboard, one card per agent. Each agent renders as a single card
  derived from its device id, so an agent and the flight controller behind it
  collapse into one entry instead of duplicating. The detail panel adapts to
  the node's profile (drone, ground station, or compute) through a surface
  registry that shows only the tabs that node supports. A new node grid view
  puts live video tiles side by side, with a grid or overview toggle. Stale
  local nodes show a clear re-pair or remove prompt.
• Black Box log viewer. Read the agent's durable on-device log and
  telemetry store straight from the GCS, including history that survives an
  agent restart, with an option to push it to the cloud backend.
• Software Update card. The System tab shows live over-the-air update
  progress through each phase as the agent updates itself.
• Radio and pairing visibility. The radio panel shows the rendezvous and
  current channel and band, whether the drone is transmitting, the peer-link
  and hop state, and the regulatory domain when set. It adds link tuning
  controls with auto-calibration, the live FEC ratio and adaptive mode, a
  warning when the radio adapter enumerated on a slow USB port (advancing its
  transmit counter while emitting no usable RF), a power-floor (muted PHY)
  badge, a coarse radio-stack rollup that names why a link is not
  transmitting, a video transmitter stall indicator, and bind
  injection-adapter readiness on the pairing card.
• Camera and video health. The fleet card surfaces a missing or recovering
  air-side camera, including a USB power-contention diagnostic, even for a
  drone paired only over the LAN. Local-node video plays from the agent IP that
  is actually reachable.
• Per-drone plugins. Plugins install against a specific drone, with the
  drone detail panel carrying a Plugins tab scoped to that drone (install,
  enable, disable, configure, uninstall). The list now shows each plugin's
  service readiness and per-plugin model-delivery status. Plugins can
  contribute a per-drone tab through a drone.detail.tab UI slot.
• Vision navigation surface. Drones running the vision navigation plugin
  gain a Navigation tab with live optical flow rate and quality, rangefinder
  reading and health, the active EKF source set, and an arm-readiness summary.
  Backed by new OPTICAL_FLOW_RAD, VISION_POSITION_ESTIMATE, and ODOMETRY
  decoders, a MAV_CMD_SET_EKF_SOURCE_SET encoder, and a pre-arm parameter
  batch. The detection overlay carries lock-state and association confidence.
• One connect modal. A single dialog connects a flight controller or a
  companion agent, and the Pair New Node dialog shows the exact agent install
  command. Pair-by-code resolves over the LAN with no cloud round-trip.
• Firmware flashing. A complete in-app firmware flashing workflow.
• Ground station surfaces. The uplink card shows cloud-relay forwarding
  state and surfaces a failed share-uplink apply, and you can trigger on-device
  touch calibration from the ground-station panel.
• Agent reach-back visibility. The GCS surfaces agent management-link
  health, the management-link reach-back mode, and the USB-rehome self-heal
  state.

Changed

• Native desktop title bar on macOS and Linux.
• Authenticated MAVLink link. The MAVLink WebSocket proxy is ticket
  authenticated, and the GCS prefers the authenticated endpoint whenever the
  agent advertises it.
• Nodes, not drones. Sidebar terminology moved from "drone" to "node",
  since an agent can run as a drone, ground, compute, relay, or receiver, with
  each row labeling its specific type.
• Local-first pairing throughout. Pair flow (probe, claim, unpair) routes
  through the Mission Control proxy so .local hostnames resolve even in
  browsers without mDNS, an unreachable LAN probe explains itself instead of
  returning a bare 502, and a pairing code the cloud does not know returns a
  calm "pair on this network" prompt instead of a console error.
• Cloud relay hardening. The relay forwards radio fields generically and
  records transmit-rate and churn counters, and its auth, retention, and
  heartbeat contract are tightened. Agent polling is bounded with clean aborts,
  and failed cloud command acknowledgements surface in the UI.
• Tooling. Continuous integration now gates on lint and type-check,
  enforces a test-coverage floor, adds dependency scanning, and the codebase
  gained protocol and pairing state-machine test coverage.

Fixed

• Desktop fonts and map icons load. The packaged app now serves its bundled
  fonts, and the Leaflet map control icons, from the correct asset path instead
  of 404ing, so the interface renders in its intended typefaces.
• Desktop app no longer crashes on launch. The Convex client provider is
  always mounted, so a build with no cloud backend configured, and any screen
  that uses Convex, renders normally instead of dropping into the global error
  screen.
• Cloud features in the desktop app. The desktop build now includes the
  cloud backend, so the community pages, sign-in, and cloud relay for remote
  drones work in the installed app, matching the web version.
• Geofence data loss. The geofence editor is bound to the geofence store,
  so an edited fence is no longer dropped.
• Stuck and mis-gated panels. Fleet video gating, bounded diagnostics, and
  recovery for stuck panels, plus corrected MAVLink routing, command
  correlation, and mission and mode handling.
• Local pairing edge cases. A locally-paired node routes through one
  LAN-versus-cloud connect path, deleting a local drone purges its stored
  entry, and local-first mode no longer wipes pair state on sign-in.
• Desktop release pipeline builds the Windows installer. The packaging
  step no longer rebuilds native node modules that the desktop wrapper never
  ships, so the Windows build no longer needs a C toolchain on the runner.
  All three platforms (macOS, Windows, Linux) package again.

Removed

• ROS tab. The ROS sub-tab, its store, API client, types, and the related
  capability and heartbeat fields are gone, since the agent no longer ships a
  ROS environment.

0.10.5

Altnautica Command v0.10.5

[0.10.5] - 2026-05-06

Fixed

• Desktop release pipeline now builds the macOS DMG. The @xmldom/xmldom
  override pinned the package to ^0.9.10, whose strict-mode parser
  rejects parseFromString(content) calls without a mime type. That
  broke electron-builder's plist parser end of app-builder-lib,
  which relies on the older lenient API. Override relaxed to ^0.8.10
  so the security-patched 0.8.x line ships and the build pipeline
  succeeds. No source code imports @xmldom/xmldom directly; this
  override only affected transitive consumers.

[0.10.4] - 2026-05-06

Headline fix: the desktop app no longer hangs as a hidden process when the
embedded server fails to start. Plus a wide pass on the firmware tab, plugin
host foundation, fleet overview, and the Hardware tab.

Fixed

• Desktop app now opens its window reliably on macOS and Windows. Previously,
  if the embedded Next.js standalone server failed to start within the
  startup timeout, the window-creation path was never reached and the app
  sat as a hidden process with no way to recover. Three changes close this:
  • app.whenReady() is wrapped so any startup failure surfaces an error
    dialog and the app exits cleanly instead of leaving a windowless process.
  • The window force-shows on did-finish-load and did-fail-load so a
    renderer that loads but never emits ready-to-show, or a page that
    fails to load, no longer leaves the user staring at a dock icon.
  • Server-startup wait reduced from 30s to 15s so genuine failures surface
    quickly instead of feeling like the app is frozen.
• Single-instance lock now hard-exits the secondary process instead of
  letting initialization continue past app.quit().
• Windows installer events (--squirrel-install, --squirrel-updated,
  --squirrel-uninstall, --squirrel-obsolete) exit the app immediately
  so installer-spawned processes do not linger as windowless background apps.

Added

• ADOS agent stack support in the firmware tab. Flash the agent
  software stack alongside flight-controller firmware, with a Rockchip
  bootrom flasher for ADOS-class companion computers. The agent manifest
  is signed with minisign and verified at install time; an offline catalog
  UI lets operators pick a build without a live network connection. Schema
  versioning on the manifest keeps older clients compatible.
• Fleet overview with live video and telemetry on the Command page.
  Multiple drones at a glance, with each card pulling its own status,
  battery, GPS fix, runtime mode, and live preview.
• Plugin host foundation for ADOS plugins. Settings page exposes a
  Plugins tab with an installed-plugins list and a registry browser. The
  slot orchestrator mounts each plugin contribution into a sandboxed
  iframe gated on a ui.slot.* capability. Two-stage install dialog
  parses the manifest and shows the permission set before commit, with
  partial-grant failure surfaces and pinned required permissions.
• Hardware tab surfaces attached SPI displays at the fleet level and
  on individual drone cards. The tab populates from the agent's
  profile and hardware-check payloads, and runtimeMode propagates
  through the capability inference fallback path so older agents without
  an explicit field still gate features correctly.
• Setup-and-access integration end-to-end with the agent. The Command
  page consumes the universal setup contract (status, access URLs,
  remote-access state) and surfaces it with cloud-relay enhancements.
• CLI service-management and production-deployment wizard for
  self-hosted Convex backends.
• /pair deep link now accepts a pre-filled pairing code, simplifying
  field setup from a printed sticker or QR.
• Camera-trigger toggle on simulation drones, with sync-performance
  improvements while the toggle runs.
• Conditional planner UI render based on whether a plan is active, idle,
  loaded, or dirty.

Changed

• Capability inference now covers BCM2710A1 (Pi Zero 2 W), BCM2711
  (Pi 4B), BCM2712 (Pi 5), RV1106G3 (Luckfox class), and RV1103 SoCs,
  with NPU TOPS lookup for each.
• Runtime-mode propagation: runtimeMode flows from the agent
  heartbeat through cmd_droneStatus and cmd_drones into the
  capability store. The fleet card renders a small "Lite" pill for
  drones running the constrained backend; Smart Modes, ROS, and Scripts
  tabs hide on lite-mode drones.
• Cloud-relay HTTP routes moved behind internal Convex functions,
  with input validation, response size limits, and safety overrides on
  every command-path entry.
• Cloud-command gating: the GCS no longer enqueues cloud commands
  when the user is not authenticated.
• Convex skip-guards added across the Command page so reactive
  queries no longer crash when auth or runtime context is absent.
• Locale-aware number rendering for currency, percent, and decimal
  values; telemetry freshness now flags stale data older than 45s.
• Zustand store hardening: added version + migrate handlers across
  persisted stores; previously any-typed surfaces now use Zod schemas
  for runtime validation.
• iNav mock protocol corrections and roadmap-copy refresh in locales.

0.8.19

Altnautica Command v0.8.19

Two weeks of work since 0.3.0. Polish, decomposition, a stronger type story across the agent boundary, and some real user-facing wins.

---

Agent connection and cloud resilience

• Capability negotiation at handshake. The GCS reads version and feature flags from the agent on connect and adapts the UI to what the agent actually supports. Older agents stay usable.
• Cloud relay paths bound their upstream proxy fetches with abort controllers, surface MQTT broker errors, and log reconnect attempts.
• Agent connection state reorganized into per-concern slices for cleaner separation of local vs cloud state.

Flight history and replay

• Cloud-backed flight log pagination. The history pane fetches in pages instead of pulling all logs at once, which keeps load fast even after a long ops season.
• Locale-aware number rendering across history and stats surfaces using Intl.NumberFormat for currency, percent, and decimal.

Telemetry and HUD

• TopBar tree memoized through a dedicated hook that subscribes only to telemetry version and ring-buffer references. Removes per-tick re-renders during flight data updates.
• Stale-data badges on system resource gauges, sparklines, and service tables when data is older than 45 seconds.

Video pipeline

• Video store reads slimmed via selector slicing.
• WebRTC peer cleanup stops both receiver and sender tracks before closing the connection. No more leaked tracks on disconnect.
• Single timer replaces the 1-second retry countdown for streaming reconnect.

Flight controller panels

• Six FC panels (Rate Profile, Power, VTX, Ports, GPS, LED) now use a shared useParamPanelActions hook with one canonical save / flash / revert path. Less drift between panels.
• iNav configuration panels and the Drone Configure tab decomposed via re-export aggregators. Imports unchanged for callers.
• Mock protocol corrections for iNav: MSP command IDs, decoder entry sizes, and settings marshaling now match real hardware.

Type safety

• Seventeen new Zod schemas validate agent API responses at the boundary.
• Fifty-plus any casts removed from the agent client manager. Thirteen endpoints are now safely parsed.
• New npm run generate:agent-types produces a typed agent API client from the OpenAPI spec.

UI polish

• Three-group visual layout for Command sub-tabs with keyboard navigation.
• Fleet sidebar virtualizes when more than twelve drones are connected.
• Persisted Zustand stores carry version numbers and migration handlers, so future schema changes do not strand existing user data.

Bug fixes

• Cloud sync auto-walks paginated flight logs.
• Panel params hook accepts readonly string[] for paramNames, preventing inline-spread arrays from triggering refetch loops.
• MQTT subscription failures surface broker rejections in the UI.
• Changelog timeline query skips when Convex is unavailable instead of crashing.
• WebRTC track lifecycle hardened.

0.1.8

Altnautica Command v0.1.8

133 commits. The biggest release yet. Follow-me mode, guided flight, flight replay, offline maps, video recording, a customizable telemetry deck, spline waypoints, a full airspace overhaul, 13 new languages, and a lot more.

---

Follow-Me Mode

Stream your GCS position (laptop or phone GPS) to the drone for autonomous follow. One button in the flight actions panel. Handles GPS loss gracefully and prevents accidental double-starts.

Guided Mode with Safety Confirmation

Click anywhere on the map to send a fly-to command. A hold-to-confirm dialog prevents accidental taps. Target overlay shows the destination on the map before you commit.

Flight Replay

Full telemetry playback from saved flights. Map visualization with the flight path, a timeline scrubber, and synchronized telemetry readouts. Export flight data as CSV, KML, or KMZ from the history panel.

Offline Maps

Download and cache map tiles for field operations without internet. Select a region, pick zoom levels, and the tiles are stored locally. Works in the planner and flight views.

Customizable Telemetry Deck

Drag-and-drop telemetry panels across multiple pages. Layouts persist across sessions. Per-cell battery voltage thresholds (not hardcoded 4S). Detachable panels for multi-monitor setups. Pop-up blocker detection with toast feedback.

Video Streaming and Recording

WHEP (WebRTC) video streaming from the drone agent. Direct WebRTC support across all connection types with smart fallbacks. Record live video and take screenshots with elapsed time display and playback controls.

Spline Waypoints

Catmull-Rom spline interpolation for SPLINE_WAYPOINT commands. The planner now shows smooth curve previews between waypoints. Dedicated spline waypoint icon on the map.

Airspace Tab Overhaul

Renamed from "Air Traffic" to "Airspace." ADS-B plane tracking removed entirely. The tab now focuses on what drone pilots actually need: airspace zones (FAA, DGCA, CASA, ICAO), flyability assessment, NOTAMs, and TFRs. Real zone polygons via OpenAIP. Free Esri satellite imagery (no Cesium Ion key required). Server-side zone caching with daily sync. Airport data fetched from GitHub at runtime.

Mission Planner Additions

• KML/KMZ overlay layers on the map for reference data (boundaries, no-fly zones, survey areas)
• Insert waypoints between existing ones with dedicated buttons
• DO_JUMP validation warnings in the planner
• Jump arrow overlay for waypoint navigation visualization
• Fixed-wing and VTOL landing patterns added to the pattern generator

Multi-Drone SITL and Gazebo

Docker-based multi-drone SITL with configurable scenarios. Gazebo simulation with a real-world Bangalore terrain scenario, GPS origin axes, and filtered extra args. RNGFND1 disabled in SITL presets for Copter and Rover.

13 New Languages

Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Indonesian, and 6 more. Total: 20 languages supported. Added in the onboarding flow and settings page.

Theme Expansion

Solarized Light and Dark themes. NVG (night vision) mode for defense builds. Multi-mode theme selector. Accent color picker with dock-style animation in onboarding. Theme persistence across sessions.

Onboarding Redesign

New steps: theme selection with live preview, legal disclaimer, desktop app download prompt. Geolocation-based location initialization. Language selection expanded to all 20 supported languages.
