Clarifications to the new FPV-viewer blog post on #78 (targets the embed-fpv-viewer branch, so merging this updates that PR):

  • Annotations reframed: the section now explains that the annotations exist to extract the flight segments from the edited clips — the propaganda framing is removed entirely (from the post and from the figures.py docstring).
  • Intro simplified: no more S3/manifest/download-link details; the viewer is framed as making the dataset accessible to the community.
  • Honest caveats added: some annotations were automatically generated and haven't been manually reviewed yet; not all 3-D scenes have been extracted and some existing reconstructions aren't the highest quality — both will be gradually added and improved.

…onest caveats

- Reframe the annotation section around extracting the flight segments;
  drop the propaganda framing entirely (post + figure docstring).
- Simplify the intro: the viewer exists to make the dataset accessible
  to the community, without the storage/technical details.
- Add caveats: some annotations are auto-generated and not yet manually
  reviewed; not all 3-D scenes are extracted yet and some are rough —
  both will be gradually added and improved.

- Restyle the two breakdown charts (annotated-clip timeline + footage
  breakdown): rounded segments with gaps on isotropic inch-based axes,
  narrative callouts (banner / freeze at impact / replay), a signal-vs-
  edit bracket, and a value row that labels every segment type including
  the slivers that previously overflowed or went unlabeled.
- Merge consecutive same-type segment markers so spans measure correctly
  (fixes a doubled banner_start reading as a 0-second banner).
- Lighten the pause/freeze color to #5b6675 for >=3:1 contrast on black
  (checked with a palette validator).
- tool_flow: replace the illustrative point-cloud glyph with a real
  screenshot of the Biranit scene viewer, retitle the panel 'Debrief the
  strike'.
- Reframe 'fly the strike' language around debriefing: new section title,
  intro wording, and a paragraph on replaying and learning from a strike
  after the fact.

…framing

- New paragraph + schematic (scene_pipeline.png) walking the reconstruction
  pipeline: raw clip -> annotations extract the flight -> enhance/equalize
  frames -> select the attack run -> model recovers camera path + point cloud.
- Expand the 3-D caveats into an upfront challenges paragraph: compressed
  source footage yields noisy geometry, the model sometimes maps the sky
  (stray-point haze), smoke around impact, and unreviewed auto annotations
  propagating downstream.
- Rename 'Debrief the strike' to 'Explore the strike' in the section title,
  body copy, alt text, and the tool_flow panel.
- research README: document the new figure, the real capture in tool_flow,
  and the pillow dependency.

- Challenges: add that the reconstruction is scale-ambiguous — a small
  near object and a large far one project to the same pixels, so the
  model recovers shape but not size. Anchoring one known real-world
  size in the 3-D scene scales the whole model and makes heights,
  distances and speeds real.
- New concept figure scale_ambiguity.png (view cone, two houses filling
  the same view, known-size door annotation); documented in the script
  docstring and research README.

The measure button caused horizontal overflow and had no size-reference
dialog when selecting points; the fullscreen button didn't work. Both
React elements are replaced with null in the built SceneView chunk
(surgical patch of the bundled app; the real removal belongs upstream in
fpv-drone-strikes-lebanon-dataset when the viewer is next rebuilt).
Verified headlessly: gallery and scene routes render with no JS errors.

The post and the tool_flow panel described the measure tool as live;
with the button removed for now, describe it as held back until scenes
are anchored to real-world scale (which ties into the scale-ambiguity
challenge already in the post).

The search input had no autocomplete attribute, so browsers offered
their autofill/history dropdown over it. Adds autocomplete=off (plus
autocorrect=off / spellcheck=false) to the input in the built bundle;
verified in the rendered DOM headlessly. Upstream fix belongs in
fpv-drone-strikes-lebanon-dataset alongside the button removals.

…k screen

The <video> element had no poster attribute, so before metadata loaded
(or if playback never started) the player was just a black box. Wraps
the video in a .video-stage container, sets poster=thumbnailUrl (same
field the gallery cards already use), and adds a centered play-button
overlay (reusing the existing play/pause handler) that's shown only
while paused and disappears once playback starts.

Verified headlessly: rendered DOM shows the poster attribute pointing
at the real CDN thumbnail and the overlay button positioned over the
video; JS passes node --check.
