The fleet lived as a tab inside the Logbook, which buried it, and every
drone had to be typed in by hand — model, serial and firmware copied off
an airframe the app was already talking to.
Promote it to its own nav section above Logbook, and let a connecting
drone register itself. The Fly App already forwarded model, serial and
firmware upstream; the hub was keeping only the model. It now carries the
identity through to DeviceState, and the Web App offers it to a new
POST /api/drones/auto, which upserts keyed by serial. The auto path only
writes what the aircraft is authoritative about (model, both firmware
versions) and never touches what the pilot curates.
Serial and the firmware versions resolve on their own schedules after
connect — the serial in seconds, the aircraft firmware sometimes a minute
later — so nothing along the path treats an absent value as a cleared one,
and a later event filling firmware in still reaches the server. The auto
call rides every telemetry frame, so the client remembers the identity
tuple it last sent and only a change goes out; a 4xx is the server's
settled answer and is not retried, or one drone connected for an hour
would mean one request per frame for an hour.
New fields on drones: firmware, controller_firmware, and registration for
the FAA/CAA aircraft number — distinct from operator_number, which stays
the EU operator ID. Controller firmware is the remote controller's own
version, read from its component; the flight controller's version is a
different quantity and stays off this field (see 002e484). name becomes
optional and is now the pilot's custom name: auto-added drones arrive
unnamed, so the API serves a computed displayName (name, else model +
serial) for the fleet table, the flight picker and the CSV export. A
unique index on serial is what keeps the find-then-create path from
forking a drone's history across two records.
The schema is applied to the remote PocketBase; the migration is here for
fresh deployments, which the remote does not read.
Verified against a simulated device over the real socket with identity
resolving late: one record from four events, both firmware versions
filled, curated fields intact across re-registration, and a drone deleted
while connected coming back on the next frame.

The OpenSky "Default bounding box" now follows where flying happens.
A new "Automatic" picker mode (the default) resolves the live-map area
from a location cascade — drone telemetry → phone GPS → browser
geolocation → the user's Region country → Europe — instead of a fixed
box. Manual presets and Custom coordinates still work.
- Web App: new shared countries.js dataset (all countries + bbox,
offline point→country); the bbox picker gains all European countries
and an Automatic option (client pref prefs.autoBbox); the Region
setting expands from 6 locale entries to all countries; the live map
resolves the cascade each poll and sends it as ?bbox=.
- API Server: the states endpoint accepts and validates a ?bbox=
override (validBBox); the Web App BFF forwards the query; the hub
relays new phoneLatitude/phoneLongitude telemetry to the Web App.
- Fly App: reports the phone's own GPS (geolocator) alongside
telemetry, used as the "your location" fallback.
- API panel: the OpenSky bbox picker lists all European countries.
Builds verified across web, panel, both Go modules and the Fly App
APK. Region list, Automatic default and the cascade ?bbox= override
verified in the browser.

Add API Server (Go/PocketBase), Web App (Go BFF + Vue), Fly App
(Flutter/DJI MSDK), Adobe Plugin, and Docker/Docker AIO deployment
configs. Design assets and build artifacts are gitignored.
