anoracleofra-code da09cf429e fix: cross-node gate decryption, UI text scaling, aircraft zoom
- Derive gate envelope AES key from gate ID via HKDF so all nodes
  sharing a gate can decrypt each other's messages (was node-local)
- Preserve gate_envelope/reply_to in chain payload normalization
- Bump Wormhole modal text from 9-10px to 12-13px
- Add aircraft icon zoom interpolation (0.8→2.0 across zoom 5-12)
- Reduce Mesh Chat panel text sizes for tighter layout

ShadowBroker Frontend

Next.js 16 dashboard with MapLibre GL, Cesium, and Framer Motion.

Development

npm install
npm run dev        # http://localhost:3000

API URL Configuration

The frontend needs to reach the backend (default port 8000). Resolution order:

  1. NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL env var — if set, used as-is (build-time, baked by Next.js)
  2. Server-side (SSR) — falls back to http://localhost:8000
  3. Client-side (browser) — auto-detects using window.location.hostname:8000

Common scenarios

Scenario Action needed
Local dev (localhost:3000 + localhost:8000) None — auto-detected
LAN access (192.168.x.x:3000) None — auto-detected from browser hostname
Public deploy (same host, port 8000) None — auto-detected
Backend on different port (e.g. 9096) Set NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://host:9096 before build
Backend on different host Set NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://backend-host:8000 before build
Behind reverse proxy (e.g. /api path) Set NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=https://yourdomain.com before build

Setting the variable

# Shell (Linux/macOS)
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://myserver:8000 npm run build

# PowerShell (Windows)
$env:NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL="http://myserver:8000"; npm run build

# Docker Compose (set in .env file next to docker-compose.yml)
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://myserver:8000

Note: This is a build-time variable. Changing it requires rebuilding the frontend.

Theming

Dark mode is the default. A light/dark toggle is available in the left panel toolbar. Theme preference is persisted in localStorage as sb-theme and applied via data-theme attribute on <html>. CSS variables in globals.css define all structural colors for both themes.
