Two new gauges in the Classic Steel family — a binnacle compass and a marine attitude indicator — plus the shared re-point helper the three ng-gauges now use.

Steel Compass

A binnacle compass: the card turns under a fixed index at the rim, heading on an LCD window. That is the only mode — there is no needle on this dial in any configuration.

Sea Horizon

A marine attitude indicator, deliberately not an aviation artificial horizon — that is what the existing Pitch & Roll widget (widget-horizon, the steelseries Horizon gauge) already is. An aircraft instrument treats pitch as the primary axis, bank as a commanded input, and rules its scale to 90°. A hull cares about heel over roughly ±40° and trim over ±10°, and a hull pitching 20° is in trouble rather than manoeuvring.

Summary

  • Adds the Steel Compass widget with a rotating compass card, fixed bow index, LCD heading, degree-scale option, and stale-reading handling.
  • Adds the Sea Horizon widget for marine heel and trim display with configurable inversion, damping, caution and alarm angles, pitch ladder, and no-data state.
  • Registers both widgets and exposes them in dashboard and configuration interfaces.
  • Adds shared WidgetRepointTracker logic so compass, linear, and radial gauges clear stale readings after path changes.
  • Adds component and configuration tests for stream handling, geometry, rendering options, repoint behavior, and responsive sizing.

Sea Horizon’s SVG geometry lacks direct rendering assertions, leaving visual binding regressions undetected. This is bounded test-coverage risk and is mergeable with follow-up.

… modal controls

Sea Horizon was registered but absent from the README Widget Library and the
in-app Widget Gallery. The widget-config modal spec only rendered the Steel
Compass config, so a dropped Sea Horizon binding or a lost heel-angle
min/max validator would have passed CI. Renders the dialog with the Sea
Horizon default config and drives caution and alarm across each other in both
directions.

Thanks! Me likes. The existing pitch & roll widget is not hugely useful because it's lacking any tick marks. I can see how the Sea Horizon could be useful for both motor and sail boaters.

Review

Seven independent reviewers read this branch against main. CodeRabbit's two earlier items are already fixed in fcd5cfb, so they are not repeated here. Most of the PR checked out clean; the list is at the end.

One defect worth fixing

The compass card keeps the old bearing after a re-point. widget-gauge-steel-compass.component.ts:292-303

The compass stores its reading in two signals. heading drives the LCD. turned drives the card rotation, and only applyHeading() writes it.

clearReadingOnRepoint() runs one statement: this.heading.set(null). It does not reset turned.

So after a re-point the LCD shows --- and .stale dims the card to 0.4 opacity. The card itself stays rotated at the old bearing.

Usually the next delta arrives and the card moves. The state persists when the new path stays silent. suppressBootstrapNull is true, so the callback never runs, and applyHeading() is never called.

An example: a compass reads 047 on headingMagnetic. You re-point it to courseOverGroundTrue. The boat has no GPS fix. The card then sits at 047 under the red index until you re-point again.

Your own comment at widget-gauge-steel-compass.component.scss:71-73 describes the intended result: the card sits on 000. The code does not do that yet.

The spec at widget-gauge-steel-compass.component.spec.ts:95 asserts heading() and headingText(). It never asserts cardRotation(), so CI stays green.

Suggested fix: reset turned in clearReadingOnRepoint(), or hide the card group while heading() is null. Then assert cardRotation() in that spec.

One test request

Nothing ties the heel bands to the angles that produce them. widget-sea-horizon.component.spec.ts:413

The spec asserts heelBands().length === 6 and limitIndexes().length === 2. It asserts cautionAngle() and alarmAngle() separately, as numbers. No assertion connects the two.

If a computed stops following the config, the bands freeze at the defaults. Both assertion groups still pass. The modal then reads 35° while the dial draws 30°.

The same gap hides two cheaper mistakes. Swapped caution and alarm fills show amber where red belongs. A limit index drawn at the caution angle puts the red mark 15° low.

One assertion closes it. For a known heelAlarmAngle, compare limitIndexes()[0] against polar() at that angle.

Optional

Vignette gradient span. widget-sea-horizon.component.html:106-107 binds x1="faceShadowR" and x2="300 - faceShadowR". That gives 124.766 to 175.234. The face spans CX ± FACE_SHADOW_R, which is 25.234 to 274.766. spreadMethod defaults to pad, so the 0.25-alpha end stops carry across the rest of the face. 300 - looks like a slip for 150 -; the file already uses 25.234 correctly at FACE_GRAD_Y1.

The visible effect is small. vignette: true applies only to carbon and punchedSheet, and both are near-black. The window and the two LCDs cover most of the face. Your screenshots look right. Treat this as cosmetic.

Resize debounce. widget-sea-horizon.component.ts:1003-1013 writes paintedPx on every ResizeObserver entry, unrounded. contentRect is fractional, so a tile drag produces a new value each frame and re-tiles the face pattern.

The Steel Compass debounces the same thing by 120ms at widget-gauge-steel-compass.component.ts:311-322. Most people run the browser on a tablet or a laptop, where this will not show. It matters on the device's own display, which perf-harness/ targets at 10x CPU throttle. It is mainly worth noting because the two new widgets answer the same question differently.

Smaller notes

  • damp() reads gauge.damping raw at widget-sea-horizon.component.ts:1056, while cautionAngle() and alarmAngle() both clamp. The generated schema publishes damping with no constraint, and kip-mcp-server writes dashboards from that schema.
  • ngOnDestroy at widget-gauge-steel-compass.component.ts:324 reads caseCanvas(), a viewChild.required. An unresolved required query throws NG0951 and aborts the rest of the destroy path. widget-gauge-ng-compass uses a non-required query instead.
  • The Steel Compass ships enableTimeout: false. A dead source then keeps printing its last heading. This matches the existing compass widgets, so it is a defaults question rather than a bug.
  • Sea Horizon hand-rolls pitchSignature and rollSignature instead of the WidgetRepointTracker this PR adds. Both paths are isPathConfigurable: false, so nothing breaks today. A comment stating that precondition would help, because the two copies can drift apart.
  • Three specs pass without testing what their names claim. The trim sign test only asserts negative pitch. The "no steelseries on the page" test never reaches that branch, because src/test.ts installs the global for every spec. shortestTurn(0, 180) is asserted by absolute value, which accepts both resolutions.

One question

docs/design/marine-compass-sketches.html adds 828 lines and a new directory. Nothing in the repo references it. It sits outside the build, the linter and the tests. It carries its own copies of palettes and geometry, plus variants that did not ship. Do you want it in the tree, or does the PR history cover it well enough?

Not yours to fix

An updateInterval above 5000ms makes any enableTimeout: true widget flap between a reading and NO DATA. The timeout wraps merge(initial$, sampled$) downstream of sampling, so the fixed 5s TTL always beats a 6s interval. This already affects widget-horizon and widget-heel-gauge. We will file it separately.

What checked out clean

Both _widgetDefinition entries use static literals only. No new gating field needed mirroring into toCatalogEntry. The committed skip-dashboard-schema.json matches both DEFAULT_CONFIG blocks field for field. There is no any.

There is no breaking contract change. Every interface addition is optional. The one edited modal conditional preserves its meaning. Stored configs are unaffected, and the config version numbers correctly stay put. Both icon ids exist in the sprite. The selectors follow convention, so the Freeboard embed routes resolve. VERSION correctly stays at 1.5.0.

Reviewers also traced the geometry and found it correct: toCompassDegrees, shortestTurn including the 180° tie, the card rotation sign, headingText rounding so 359.7 prints 000, the rotate-then-translate order on the horizon, the ladder rung signs, the heel band mirroring, and the caution and alarm clamp pair.

Thanks for the two widgets. The transcription of the steelseries case into SVG is careful work, and the comments explaining it are genuinely useful.

Filed the pre-existing timeout item as #618. It is separate from this PR and needs nothing from you.

Steel compass:
- Reset the card rotation as well as the LCD on a re-point. Only the
  heading signal was cleared, so against a path that reports nothing the
  card stayed turned to the old bearing under a `---`, presented as a live
  reading of the new path. The card now returns to 000 and dims, which is
  the stale state the stylesheet already describes; the spec asserts
  cardRotation() across the re-point and the short turn from the reset card.
- Make the case canvas a non-required view query. ngOnDestroy read a
  required query, which throws NG0951 when unresolved and aborts the rest
  of the teardown; paint and release now guard on it instead.
- Compute the card rotation as a subtraction so a reset card rotates by 0
  rather than -0.
- The "no steelseries on the page" spec now removes the global the test
  setup installs, so the guard is the branch under test, and asserts the
  fallback ink. The half-turn spec asserts the exact sign from both sides
  instead of an absolute value that accepts either.

Sea horizon:
- Track re-points with WidgetRepointTracker instead of a hand-rolled
  signature per axis, so the rule has one copy across the five widgets
  that apply it, with a note that both paths are fixed today.
- Floor the painted size before it reaches the texture pattern, so a drag
  with fractional contentRect values re-tiles the face only when the side
  crosses a pixel, not every frame.
- Confine the damping time constant to [0, 10 s] and treat a non-numeric
  value as no damping, the way the heel angles are already confined: the
  schema publishes it unbounded and a constant of hours froze the dial on
  its first sample.
- Document that the vignette gradient's x-span is drawBackground.js's own
  createLinearGradient(radius, 0, width - radius, 0), reproduced as is,
  rather than a typo for the face width.
- Tie the band and limit-index geometry to the configured angles in the
  spec, and assert they move when the angles change; add the positive and
  level trim cases the sign test lacked; cover the damping clamp, the
  non-numeric damping value and the whole-pixel measurement.

Thanks for the thorough read. Pushed a fix commit addressing the review; npm run ci (lint, snc, full suite, mcp-schema) is green locally.

Fixed

  • Compass card after a re-pointclearReadingOnRepoint() now resets turned as well as heading, so the card returns to 000 and dims instead of sitting on the old bearing under ---. The spec asserts cardRotation() across the re-point, plus that the first reading on the new path turns the short way from the reset card. Rotation is now 0 - turned() so the reset is 0, not -0.
  • Heel bands vs. angles — new specs tie the caution/alarm band arc starts and both limit-index endpoints to polar() at the configured angles, and assert they move when the angles change.
  • Resize — Sea Horizon floors the measured side before it reaches the pattern transform, so a fractional contentRect during a drag re-tiles the face only when the side crosses a pixel. No debounce: unlike the compass there is no library layer rebuild to gate. Spec added.
  • damp() — the time constant is now read through a clamped dampingSeconds computed ([0, 10 s], non-numeric → 0), matching how the heel angles are confined. Specs added for an off-menu 1e9 and a string value.
  • ngOnDestroycaseCanvas is a plain (non-required) viewChild; paint and release guard on it.
  • WidgetRepointTracker — Sea Horizon now uses one tracker per axis instead of the hand-rolled signatures, with a comment noting both paths are isPathConfigurable: false today.
  • Three specs — trim sign test now covers +2.6, −2.6 and +0.0; the "no steelseries" spec deletes the global the test setup installs (so the guard is actually the branch under test) and asserts the fallback ink; shortestTurn(0, 180) and (180, 0) assert the exact -180.

Not changed

  • Vignette span — checked against steelseries-min.js: drawBackground really does createLinearGradient(radius, 0, width - radius, 0) with the 0.25 → 0 → 0.25 stops, i.e. 124.766 → 175.234 at 300 px, and the pad spread darkens the flanks. So 300 - faceShadowR is the library's own quirk reproduced 1:1 rather than a typo for the face width; I added a template comment saying so.

Open

…nd texture

The heel-band specs tie the computed geometry to the configured angles;
nothing checked that the SVG renders from that geometry. Add a spec that
reads the rendered band paths and limit-index lines and compares them to
the computeds before and after an angle change, and one that reads the
texture pattern's patternTransform against the measured scale.
