Previously, NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL was a build-time Next.js variable, making
it impossible to configure the backend URL in docker-compose `environment`
without rebuilding the image.
This change introduces a proper server-side proxy:
- next.config.ts: adds a rewrite rule that forwards all /api/* requests
to BACKEND_URL (read at server startup, not baked at build time).
Defaults to http://localhost:8000 so local dev works without config.
- api.ts: API_BASE is now an empty string — all fetch calls use relative
/api/... paths, which the Next.js server proxies to the backend.
- docker-compose.yml: replaces NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL build arg with a
runtime BACKEND_URL env var defaulting to http://backend:8000, using
Docker's internal networking. Port 8000 no longer needs to be exposed.
- README: updates Docker setup docs, standalone compose example, and
environment variable reference to reflect BACKEND_URL.

New features:
- Custom RSS Feed Manager: add/remove/prioritize up to 20 news sources
from the Settings panel with weight levels 1-5. Persists across restarts.
- Global Data Center Map Layer: 2,000+ DCs plotted worldwide with clustering,
server-rack icons, and automatic internet outage cross-referencing.
- Imperative map rendering: high-volume layers bypass React reconciliation
via direct setData() calls with debounced updates on dense layers.
- Enhanced /api/health with per-source freshness timestamps and counts.
Fixes:
- Data center coordinates fixed for 187 Southern Hemisphere entries
- Docker CORS_ORIGINS passthrough in docker-compose.yml
- Start scripts warn on Python 3.13+ compatibility
- Settings panel redesigned with tabbed UI (API Keys / News Feeds)

New intelligence layers:
- NASA FIRMS VIIRS fire hotspots (5K+ global thermal anomalies, flame icons)
- NOAA space weather badge (Kp index in status bar)
- IODA regional internet outage monitoring (grey markers, BGP/ping only)
Key improvements:
- Fire clusters use flame-shaped icons (not circles) for clear differentiation
- Internet outages are region-level with reliable datasources only
- Removed radiation layer (no viable free real-time API)
- All outage markers grey to avoid color confusion with other layers
- Filtered out merit-nt telescope data that produced misleading percentages
Updated changelog modal, README, and package.json for v0.5.0.

New features:
- NASA GIBS (MODIS Terra) daily satellite imagery with 30-day time slider
- Esri World Imagery high-res satellite layer (sub-meter, zoom 18+)
- KiwiSDR SDR receivers on map with embedded radio tuner
- Sentinel-2 intel card — right-click for recent satellite photo popup
- LOCATE bar — search by coordinates or place name (Nominatim geocoding)
- SATELLITE style preset in bottom bar cycling

Fixes:
- Satellite imagery renders below data icons (imagery-ceiling anchor)
- Sentinel-2 opens full-res PNG directly (not STAC catalog JSON)
- Light/dark theme: UI stays dark, only map basemap changes
Security:
- Removed test files with hardcoded API keys from tracking
- Removed .git_backup directory from tracking
- Updated .gitignore to exclude test files, dev scripts, cache files
