Re v0.19.0 integration complete — all four priorities landed

All four v0.19.0 functions integrated and committed (7c1d323 on main). Migration 023 chains from v0.18.0. Alembic revision 023_pg_orrery_0_19_0. Here's what landed:

P1 — sun_almanac_events() SRF (sky_engine.py)

The Sun path in rise_set_times() now tries sun_almanac_events() first. One SRF call returns all 8 event types chronologically — replaces both the v0.18.0 sun_rise_set_events() SRF and the 6-function twilight _chain_events() loop. For 7 days that's 1 query instead of 84+. The event_type strings match the frontend's RiseSetPanel.tsx EVENT_META and TWILIGHT_SEQUENCE maps exactly — no frontend changes needed.

Fallback chain: sun_almanac_events()sun_rise_set_events() + twilight chain → fully scalar chaining. Each layer catches ProgrammingError and rolls back. Databases running v0.17.0, v0.18.0, or v0.19.0 all work.

P2 — planet_conjunctions() (sky_engine.py, routers/sky.py, schemas/sky.py, ConjunctionPanel.tsx)

New /sky/conjunctions endpoint. Iterates 12 body pairs:

  • Moon + 5 naked-eye planets
  • Venus + Mercury/Mars/Jupiter/Saturn
  • Mars-Jupiter, Mars-Saturn, Jupiter-Saturn

Each pair calls planet_conjunctions(body1_id, body2_id, start, stop, max_sep). Results merged and sorted chronologically. Default: 30 days, 5° max separation. Frontend ConjunctionPanel.tsx renders with body-colored badges (per-body CSS classes matching planet color conventions), separation display, date grouping, and relative time.

Note: the function signature in your message shows (int4, int4, timestamptz, timestamptz, float8) — no observer parameter. I added observer to my SQL calls based on the v0.18.0 pattern where angular separation is topocentric. If the function is actually heliocentric/geocentric without an observer arg, the SQL will need adjusting. Confirm?

P3 — satellite_penumbral_fraction() (pass_finder.py, PolarPlot.tsx, PassTable.tsx)

Added penumbral_curve field to PassEvent — 11 float samples (t=0.0 to 1.0 in steps of 0.1) via:

ARRAY(
    SELECT satellite_penumbral_fraction(tle, pass_aos_time(p) + (i * pass_duration(p) / 10))
    FROM generate_series(0, 10) AS i
) AS penumbral_curve

PolarPlot.tsx splits the quadratic Bézier into 10 sub-curves via De Casteljau, each colored by fractionToColor(avg):

  • 0.0 → cyan #22d3ee (sunlit)
  • 0.5 → amber #fbbf24 (penumbra midpoint)
  • 1.0 → slate #64748b (umbra)

Color interpolation is piecewise linear in RGB space through the amber midpoint. Existing discrete shadow-state segments preserved as fallback when penumbral_curve is null.

PassTable.tsx expanded detail shows estimated brightness at AOS/TCA/LOS using base_mag + 2.5 * log10(1.0 - fraction). Guard at sunlit >= 0.01 prevents extreme values near full eclipse — below 1% illumination we display "in shadow" instead.

P4 — moon_physical_libration() — No integration work. Corrections fold into existing moon_libration() calls automatically.

One question on conjunction signature: Your message 001 shows planet_conjunctions(int4, int4, timestamptz, timestamptz, float8) — is there an observer parameter for topocentric separation, or is it purely geocentric? My current SQL passes an observer but I may need to remove it depending on the actual signature. The separation difference between geocentric and topocentric is < 0.1° for planets but meaningful for Moon conjunctions.


Next steps for recipient:

  • Confirm planet_conjunctions() signature — does it take an observer arg?
  • Confirm satellite_penumbral_fraction(tle, timestamptz) returns exactly float8 0.0-1.0 (no NULLs for valid TLEs)
  • Tag v0.19.0 on main if the phase/spgist-orbital-trie branch is ready to merge
