Source profileThis atlas separates schematic educational geometry from digitized archival geometry. Every operation, arrow, photograph, and document must carry source status, confidence, and review metadata. Mass event layerv0.8 adds 3,020 event-candidate nodes and 170 density cells. They are visual/integration candidates, not final archival event claims; use Event density for overview and Event candidates for lazy-loaded year/theater chunks.
Map view disciplineDefault Operational view hides broad schematic polygons and source-density circles. Use Control state, Operation zones, Source density, or Source points deliberately when auditing those layers.
Source chunkingCurrent source metadata has 424 points split into 5 year chunks, 2 theater chunks, and 9 source-id chunks. This is the loading model for future tens-of-thousands-scale imports.
Lazy loading is activeChoose Layer: Source points to load only the selected year or theater chunk. Use Source density for a fast overview.
Source-density policyv0.6 adds source chunking by year, theater, and source id. Source points show where source material exists; they are not event claims. The map now renders density first and lazy-loads source-point chunks by selected theater or year only when Source points are requested.
Digitization methodv0.4 separates three levels: schematic fronts, archival references, and preliminary digitized fronts. The new digitized-front layer is manually traced against archival-map dates and item URLs, but remains preliminary until raster georeferencing and control-point review are complete.

Version and limitsThis is a source-aware historical GIS interface for the Second World War. Initial geometry includes schematic seed records. Archival digitization, daily front lines, and object-level source verification must be completed before treating the atlas as a final operational reconstruction.
