Add Earthdata token entry on the SAR tab with accurate Mode B status, expose optional FIRMS_MAP_KEY in API settings, and remove the frontend operator-unlock gate that blocked localhost saves. Run network-heavy layer-enable fetches on a background executor with frontend retry polling so FIRMS toggles no longer freeze the single API worker.
Drop duplicate slow-tier weather/ukraine jobs, gate correlations when off, slim health probes, keyed layer-panel subscriptions, align backend layer defaults with the dashboard, and fetch CCTV/FIRMS/PSK/etc. synchronously on enable so toggles stay responsive without background prefetch waste.
