BowEcho v0.34.12

BowEcho v0.34.12

This cumulative update from v0.34.11 makes live radar work faster, expands
model and layer analysis, and fixes several decoder, satellite, appearance,
and packaging problems.

Radar workflow

• The full product browser again defaults to the Classic compact grid. An
  always-visible, customizable Quick Products strip provides one-click access
  to favorite fields, including products that share the same abbreviation.
• The selected sweep and tilt list now show the cut number, elevation, scan
  time, age, and truthful building/complete state. Follow incoming low
  tilts follows the newest compatible low sweep across new volumes, site
  changes, and split panes while respecting manual selection and archive
  browsing.
• Every loaded frame is available in a compact, clickable strip beneath the
  playback controls. The Colors... action now opens a persistent chooser
  instead of a nested menu that closes before a preset can be selected.
• OPERA composites use corrected ellipsoidal positioning and preserve the
  declared no-echo value. ODIM volumes retain their declared per-sweep start
  times, including duplicate-elevation cuts.
• Region Global is now the default velocity dealiaser. RIFT remains a separate
  opt-in refinement, with Region Fast and Analyst v4 still available.
• Disabled cuts and inspector preferences persist correctly, normal map zoom
  no longer changes loupe magnification, and storm-track motion labels are
  limited to the selected track. Current alerts flash until acknowledged.
• Tropical-cyclone network work and overlays stay off on a normal launch and
  start only when explicitly enabled.

Models, WRF, and analysis layers

• The Models workspace now provides a plot-first local and remote workflow for
  geographic-domain maps, soundings, point time series, native-grid and
  pressure-level windows, temporal products, and published ensemble
  statistics.
• Compatible Rusty Weather servers can provide the latest authorized run
  directly and return a whole sounding cycle in one request. BowEcho falls
  back to the established run-list and single-time requests when those newer
  endpoints are unavailable.
• A new Live precipitation type layer combines radar reflectivity with a
  time-matched HRRR or RAP thermodynamic profile to distinguish rain, snow,
  freezing rain, ice pellets, and mixed transition areas. Source and valid
  times remain visible in the layer status and inspector.
• Stored WRF fields gain whole-domain minimum/maximum graphs with clickable
  forecast times. Imports retain display-safe source, grid, domain, and
  resolution metadata, and 10-m wind plots now include calm values.
• WoFS can display official MRMS composite-reflectivity observations at their
  native valid times, including pre-initialization frames and midnight
  crossings.

Satellite and appearance fixes

• Satellite saved-run filtering is scoped to the selected provider and
  product, and one-shot RGB, focused-window, and SimSat results remain selected
  instead of being replaced by unrelated cached imagery.
• Valid warm and clear IR pixels remain visible. GOES lightning is labeled
  GOES GLM, while Meteosat LI remains a separate action.
• Persisted Slate and Graphite themes no longer reset to a white interface
  after a Windows light-theme event.

Delivery and packaging

• Rusty Weather data delivery now supports verified local caching, configured
  HTTPS origins, and optional signed federation. Community Cache remains
  independently gated and off by default; publishing a case or processed model
  generation always requires an explicit action.
• Release downloads include the README, licenses, third-party notices, and
  matching SHA-256 files. Windows ZIPs bundle the executable and notices,
  Linux uses deterministic tarballs, and macOS release apps must pass signing
  and notarization before publication.

Community Cache, and

detailed contracts and limitations.
