Adds a Wind setting to the Wind Trends widget: true or apparent. Closes #629.

Why a separate setting. The first version of this branch added Apparent as a third entry in the direction slot's Reference dropdown, next to True and Magnetic. That reads as three alternatives of the same kind, and they are not — True and Magnetic name a north reference, Apparent names a different wind. The Wind setting now lives on the Display tab (a windReference field on IWidgetSvcConfig, rendered like ais.viewMode), and the Reference dropdown is back to True and Magnetic.

Apparent wind is measured from the bow, so it has one direction path and no north reference. A stored True or Magnetic choice stays in the slot untouched and applies again as soon as true wind is selected.

Paths. True pairs the chosen north reference with speedTrue; apparent pairs angleApparent with speedApparent. The speed slot has no UI control, so the two canonical speed paths are swapped to follow the setting, while a path authored deliberately through config import or MCP is left alone — two existing tests stream self.navigation.speedOverGround from that slot, and a blanket derivation would have broken them silently.

Angle domain. The direction stream states its domain (signed for apparent, direction otherwise) instead of letting the engine infer it from the path's unit. Inference falls back to scalar before the unit resolves, which averages a signed angle linearly across the wrap.

Labels. Apparent wind is bow-relative, so the compass formatter rendered a 30° port breeze as 330°. Ticks, the shifted edge label and the big centre label now share one formatter: 40P, 0, 20S under apparent, unchanged compass degrees otherwise. Head to wind and dead astern carry no side, and the initial axis range spans ±180.

No migration: windReference is additive under the runtime's deep merge, so saved dashboards default to true wind. Both slot descriptions lose their true-wind wording; descriptions are stored per widget, so dashboards saved earlier keep the old text in the dialog until reconfigured.

Known rough edge: under apparent wind the Reference dropdown is still shown and does nothing. Hiding it would mean teaching the generic path-control component about a widget-specific field; the hint under the Wind setting says the reference does not apply instead.

Ground wind is out of scope. Signal K has no north-referenced direction path for it — only angleTrueGround and speedOverGround.

Full suite 2182 tests pass; lint clean; MCP schema regenerated and verified.

Summary

  • Adds a Wind setting to Wind Trends for selecting true or apparent wind independently of the north reference.
  • Streams the correct canonical paths and angle domains for each wind type.
  • Formats apparent directions with port/starboard labels such as 40P, 0, and 20S.
  • Uses a -180° to 180° initial axis for apparent wind.
  • Preserves custom paths, saved dashboards, slot keys, defaults, and configuration version.
  • Updates documentation, regenerates schema data, and adds coverage for paths, switching, formatting, domains, and saved configurations.

The direction slot's Reference dropdown gains an Apparent entry next to
True and Magnetic. The speed path follows the reference: the speed slot
has no UI control, so the two canonical paths are swapped for each
other, while a path authored deliberately through config import or MCP
is left alone. The direction stream now states its angle domain instead
of letting the engine infer it from the path's unit, which falls back to
a linear average before the unit resolves.

Both slot descriptions lose their true-wind wording, since each row now
describes either reference.

Apparent wind is bow-relative, so a 30 degree port breeze read as 330
degrees through the compass formatter. Ticks, the shifted edge label and
the big centre label now go through one formatter that emits 40P, 0,
20S under an apparent reference and the unchanged compass degrees under
true or magnetic. Head to wind and dead astern carry no side. The
initial axis range spans the bow-relative +-180 for apparent.

The History API page listed only the true-wind pair as fixed. The
Reference setting now selects between three pairs, and a provider has to
capture the one in use.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Wind Trends widget now supports True and Apparent wind selections. Apparent wind uses apparent angle and speed paths, signed angle domains, port/starboard labels, and a -180..180 axis. Configuration, tests, and History API documentation were updated.

Changes

Wind reference selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Wind reference configuration
src/app/core/interfaces/widgets-interface.ts, src/app/widget-config/root-modal-widget-config/root-modal-widget-config.component.html
Adds the optional windReference configuration and a required True/Apparent selector when the setting is available.

Reference-dependent graph runtime

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reference-dependent graph runtime
src/app/widgets/widget-windtrends-graph/widget-windtrends-graph.component.ts
The graph resolves true or apparent paths, passes the matching angle domain to the History API, rebuilds streams when the selection changes, formats apparent labels as port/starboard values, and uses reference-dependent axis ranges.

Behavior validation and API documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Behavior validation and API documentation
src/app/widgets/widget-windtrends-graph/widget-windtrends-graph.component.spec.ts, src/assets/help-docs/history-api.md, src/assets/help-docs/time-series.md
Tests cover path selection, switching, formatting, axis ranges, and cleared slots. Documentation lists the true and apparent wind capture paths.

True, Magnetic and Apparent were one dropdown, which read as three
alternatives of the same kind. They are not: True and Magnetic name a
north reference, Apparent names a different wind.

A Wind setting on the Display tab now selects true or apparent wind, and
the slot's Reference dropdown returns to True and Magnetic. Apparent
wind is measured from the bow, so it has one direction path and the
north reference does not apply to it; a stored reference is ignored
rather than lost.

Label apparent-wind series as apparent wind.

When the user selects apparent wind, the graph still shows TWD and TWS. The streams contain apparent angle and speed, so these headings identify the displayed data as true wind.

Use AWA and AWS for apparent wind, or use neutral headings.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Apply apparent-wind formatting to the rendered current direction. The registered centerTickPlugin draws the latest direction value. When apparent wind supplies -40, this branch normalizes it to 320 and draws 320°, while formatDirectionLabel(-40) returns 40P. The user therefore sees the wrong current direction.

Pass lastDir through formatDirectionLabel() instead of normalizing it and appending °. Add a regression test that records the canvas output or inspects the rendered label. The current tests call the private formatter directly and do not exercise this renderer.

The on-canvas titles were fixed at TWD and TWS, so an apparent-wind
graph still claimed to show true wind. They now read AWA and AWS, angle
rather than direction, because apparent wind is measured off the bow.
