Shared Cesium React adapter

@nodedc/map-cesium-react 0.1.0 is the shared renderer boundary for the canonical Map Page 0.1.0 and CesiumJS 1.143.0.

It is not a Foundry application component and does not own product navigation, Inspector fields, tokens, provider allowlists, TileCache storage or admin settings. A product supplies a same-origin BFF runtime contract and persisted provider-neutral view state.

Security and runtime contract

• The browser receives only same-origin BFF paths.
• Runtime config must use missioncore.map-runtime/v1, Map Page 0.1.0 and Cesium 1.143.0.
• Canonical assets are fixed to imagery 2, terrain 1 and buildings 96188.
• Provider endpoint documents must declare credentialMode=gateway.
• Every provider resource uses the BFF cache proxy through Cesium DefaultProxy.
• Direct provider credentials, Gateway origins and arbitrary proxy paths are rejected.
• Imagery, terrain and buildings start independently. One failed provider yields a degraded scene when another provider remains ready.
• Render-loop recovery is bounded to one request; a repeated fault becomes cesium_render_error.

Asset delivery

The package keeps Cesium in a dynamic import so the application receives it as a lazy chunk only when the map renderer mounts. Consumers import @nodedc/map-cesium-react/widgets.css and copy the four runtime directories from cesium/Build/Cesium into the deployed CESIUM_BASE_URL:

• Assets;
• ThirdParty;
• Widgets;
• Workers.

The build/runtime integration must not copy Cesium credentials or NODE.DC TileCache data. Those remain outside application artifacts.

Cache intent

cacheIntent.enabled=false adds nodedc_cache_mode=passthrough while preserving the Gateway security boundary. Enabled mode selects the shared live profile. no_overwrite=false or a separate explicit cache-refresh request adds nodedc_cache_refresh=1. Changing rendererGeneration only recreates the local Cesium viewer and never changes the TileCache write intent.

The package never creates browser, application, Docker or per-user TileCache storage.
