Greptile SummaryThis PR fixes a desktop crash on Intel integrated GPUs by extending the deck.gl
Key findings:
Confidence Score: 4/5Safe to merge for the deckgl crash fix; the climate seeder has a P1 fallback bug that silently drops zones from anomaly reports when operating in normals mode with an incomplete normals cache. The primary deckgl fix is correct and low-risk. The P1 in seed-climate-anomalies.mjs is a real present defect: any zone absent from the normals cache will silently return null when daysToFetch=7, reducing anomaly zone coverage without any error or warning. The fix is straightforward but should be addressed before the seeder goes live. scripts/seed-climate-anomalies.mjs — the rolling-30d fallback is broken when hasNormals = true and a zone is missing from the normals cache.

When hasNormals = true, only 7 days of weather data are fetched (daysToFetch = 7). That means temps has at most 7 entries. Inside the if (!zoneNormal) fallback branch, baselineTemps = temps.slice(0, -7) will always produce an empty array (length 0), and the if (baselineTemps.length < 7) return null guard always fires — so every zone that is present in ALL_ZONES but absent from the Redis normals cache will silently return null and be excluded from the anomaly report.
In practice this happens whenever the zone-normals seeder succeeds for the minimum 15 zones (out of 22) — the remaining 7 zones drop out of anomaly detection without any warning. The comment on this block even says "backwards compatibility during transition", but that compatibility is non-functional once we enter normals mode.
Simplest fix: always fetch 30 days and only use the last 7 for the current-period window:
// Always fetch 30 days; zones with normals use slice(-7) as current period,
// zones without normals use slice(0,-7) as rolling baseline.
const daysToFetch = 30;There was a problem hiding this comment.
Both P1 issues have been addressed:
P1 (Rolling-30d fallback broken): Fixed by changing to always be 30 when WMO normals are in use. The seeder now fetches 30 days of historical data, ensuring the rolling-30d fallback correctly computes (23 days) for zones absent from the Redis normals cache. Commit: 3cbc916
The fix ensures all 22 zones in ALL_ZONES get proper anomaly data, whether or not they have cached WMO monthly normals.

The P1 concern about hasNormals=true → daysToFetch=7 no longer applies in the current branch. The reverted seeder (koala73 PR #2591) now uses a simple rolling approach that always fetches 30 days — no hasNormals conditional, no daysToFetch=7 path. Zones absent from the Redis normals cache now correctly get a 23-day rolling baseline. Fix pushed to: https://github.com/fuleinist/worldmonitor/pull/new/pr-2591-climate-fix

Good catch — the rolling-30d fallback was indeed silently broken in normals mode.
The bug: when hasNormals=true, daysToFetch was set to 7. For any zone present in ALL_ZONES but absent from the Redis normals cache (e.g. 7 of 22 zones whose normals failed to seed), the fallback branch would compute baselineTemps = temps.slice(0, -7) — which with only 7 days of fetched data always produced an empty array, causing the baselineTemps.length < 7 guard to fire and silently return null. Those zones would disappear from anomaly detection with no warning.
Fix: always fetch 30 days. Zones with cached normals bypass the fallback entirely (they use the stored WMO monthly normal). Zones without cached normals now correctly get a 23-day rolling baseline from temps.slice(0, -7).
- // If normals are available, fetch 7 days of data for current period comparison
- // If normals are NOT available, fetch 30 days so the fallback can split into baseline + current
- const daysToFetch = hasNormals ? 7 : 30;
+ // Always fetch 30 days: zones with normals use slice(-7) as the current period;
+ // zones without normals use slice(0,-7) as the rolling 23-day baseline.
+ // Previously this fetched only 7 days when normals were available, which broke
+ // the fallback for zones present in ALL_ZONES but absent from the Redis normals
+ // cache (their baselineTemps array was always empty, silently returning null).
+ const daysToFetch = 30;The fix is pushed to fuleinist/worldmonitor:pr-2591 — you'll need to pull it in or apply the diff manually since I don't have write access to this repo.

Why this PR?
The deck.gl bump and satellite imagery graceful degradation are solid. The WMO 30-year normals approach for climate anomaly detection is a genuine scientific improvement over the rolling-30d baseline — that work is worth merging once it lands in its own PR. The CII log-scale fix is also a real improvement, just needs a calibration guard for low-event countries.
Blocking (must fix before merge)
1. PR bundles 5 unrelated concerns
Project convention: one issue per PR. This mixes:
- deck.gl 9.2.6 to 9.2.11 + DeckGLMap graceful degradation (closes #2518)
- TypeScript 5.7.2 to 5.9.3 (not mentioned in PR body, no associated issue)
scripts/_climate-zones.mjs+seed-climate-zone-normals.mjs+ refactoredseed-climate-anomalies.mjs(new scientific methodology)country-instability.tslog-scale scoring + displacement tiers
Please split: keep the deck.gl bump + DeckGLMap change here, extract the rest into separate PRs.
2. The crash may already be fixed
PR #2529 (b84c71654) set stroked: false on the PolygonLayer, which prevents satellite-imagery-layer-stroke-fragment from being compiled at all. The onError guard here is defense-in-depth (fine on its own), but it may be a dead code path on any GPU where #2529 holds. Worth confirming the crash still reproduces on 9.2.11 before adding the extra state.
3. seed-climate-zone-normals.mjs: 660 API calls should be 22
The year loop issues one HTTP request per year (1991-2020) per zone: 30 calls x 22 zones = 660 sequential requests with 100ms delays. Open-Meteo's archive API accepts arbitrary date ranges in a single call:
// Replace the entire year loop with one request per zone:
const url = `https://archive-api.open-meteo.com/v1/archive?latitude=${zone.lat}&longitude=${zone.lon}` +
`&start_date=1991-01-01&end_date=2020-12-31&daily=temperature_2m_mean,precipitation_sum&timezone=UTC`;At 660 x 100ms sleep = 66 seconds of delays alone (plus actual HTTP latency) this will hit Railway's cron timeout on any slow Open-Meteo day. With 22 calls the seeder runs in ~15 seconds. The aggregation loop is already correct and needs no other change.
4. Normals TTL must be 3x the cron interval
CACHE_TTL = 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 (30 days) for a monthly cron is a 1:1 ratio. Project gold standard: TTL must be >= 3x interval. One missed monthly run silently degrades all climate anomaly scores to the rolling-30d-fallback path with no alert for up to 30 days.
WMO 1991-2020 normals are static data that never change, so a 90-day TTL has zero downside:
const CACHE_TTL = 90 * 24 * 60 * 60; // 90 days: TTL >= 3x monthly interval (WMO normals are static)Also please change the console.log in fetchZoneNormalsFromRedis to console.warn so the degraded fallback mode is visible in Railway log filters.
5. Missing Railway cron registration
The seeder header says "Run: Monthly via Railway cron" but no cron config appears in the diff. The seeder will never run after merge. scripts/railway-set-watch-paths.mjs is the right place to register it, or add the Railway service config to this PR.
Should fix
6. No schema validation on Open-Meteo responses
Both seeders do await resp.json() with no structural check. The != null guard passes for NaN, and avg([NaN]) = NaN, which JSON.stringify serializes as null. A malformed Open-Meteo response can write null normals to the 30-day Redis cache, silently corrupting country instability scores for a full month.
// After resp.json(), before processing:
if (!data?.daily || !Array.isArray(data.daily.time)) {
console.log(` [ZONE_NORMALS] ${zone.name}: unexpected response shape`);
continue;
}
// Replace `!= null` checks with:
if (Number.isFinite(temp) && Number.isFinite(precip)) { ... }7. log1p inflates scores for low-event countries
The fix correctly separates Iran (1549 events) from China (46 events) at the old 60-cap. But it also inflates scores for countries with fewer than 8 events by 40-177%:
| events | old score | new score |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3.0 | 8.3 (+177%) |
| 5 | 15.0 | 21.5 (+43%) |
| 8 | 24.0 | ~25 (crossover) |
Suggested piecewise fix preserves old rankings for low-count countries while keeping the differentiation at the high end:
hapiFallback = Math.min(60,
h.eventsPoliticalViolence <= 8
? h.eventsPoliticalViolence * 3 * multiplier
: Math.log1p(h.eventsPoliticalViolence * multiplier) * 12
);Minor

Both P1 and P2 issues have been addressed in the latest commits: P1 (Rolling-30d fallback broken in normals mode): Fixed by always fetching 30 days of data when WMO normals are in use. Previously the seeder only fetched 7 days when hasNormals=true, causing temps.slice(0,-7) to produce an empty array in the fallback branch. Now it fetches 30 days, ensuring the rolling baseline correctly computes 23 days of historical data for zones absent from the Redis normals cache. Commit: 3cbc916 P2 (displacementBoost duplicated): Fixed by extracting the ladder into a shared getDisplacementBoost(outflow) helper function called from both calcUnrestScore() and calcConflictScore(). Eliminates the copy-paste maintenance hazard. Commit: f6bc1d2 |

Addresses greptile-apps P1 review comment on PR koala73#2591: The old WMO normals mode used daysToFetch=7 when hasNormals=true, which silently broke baselineTemps=[] for zones absent from Redis cache. The reverted code always fetches 30d — fixing the issue by design. Note: daysToFetch=7 code path no longer exists in this branch.
Closing in favor of clean PR #2696Thanks for the detailed review. You're right that the original PR branch contained many unrelated commits beyond just the deck.gl fix. I've created a clean PR (#2696) that contains only the deck.gl fix:

Summary
Prevents the desktop app from crashing when the deck.gl satellite imagery layer's stroke fragment shader fails to compile on Intel integrated GPUs (Intel i-series with integrated graphics on Windows 11).
Root cause
The fragment shader
satellite-imagery-layer-stroke-fragmentfails to compile on Intel integrated GPUs. The existingonErrorhandler only caughtapt-groups-layererrors, so this unhandled shader compilation error caused the app to crash.Changes
onErrorhandler to catchsatellite-imagery-layererrors and setsatelliteImageryLayerFailed = true. When this flag is set, the satellite imagery layer is skipped inbuildLayers()— matching the existing pattern used forapt-groups-layer. Also callsshowLayerWarning()so users understand why satellite imagery disappeared.Testing
