The Unbounded surface was built from the feature spec rather than from the design, so it diverged from Figma (Lantern-VPN 2403:19287) in the same ways the Lantern implementation of these screens did. getlantern/engineering#3844 enumerates those, and every item on it applied here too — because both were assembled from one-off per-page markup instead of shared components. This fixes each one, and makes the globe and the hearts burst follow the Flutter build.

Three new shared components

The point of extracting these is that the divergences #3844 lists are what per-page markup produces. A component can be wrong once; inlined markup is wrong once per page.

Component	Why it exists
Indicator.svelte	The on/off light — a filled dot inside a lighter ring. One implementation, used by the tab strip and the VPN status panel. #3844's first item is the tab bar growing its own flat-coloured copy, and the ring (Figma defines status/*-border-dot alongside status/*-bg-dot) is exactly what an ad-hoc copy leaves out.
Icon.svelte + icons.ts	Real Material Symbols from a shared path table. A glyph then cannot be a text character — the note's info mark was a literal ⓘ, which is what "the icon is misaligned top and bottom" describes: a body-font glyph carries its own baseline and optical size. It also cannot be the wrong icon on one screen and right on another.
Note.svelte	The info note as a component, with the right font (Body/Large), align-items: center, and tight padding. The note drew three separate complaints; all three are properties of a component, not of a page.

Tabs.svelte replaces BottomTabs.svelte, which was wrong in shape as well as in detail: the design puts the strip at the top under the title with icon and label side by side, where the old one sat at the bottom with a border-top and stacked the icon above the label.

#3844, item by item

Tab bar

• White background behind it — var(--surface).
• Reuse the VPN panel's indicator light — now literally the same component, ring included.
• Material icons, outlined unselected / filled selected — vpn_key and handshake, both weights, from icons.ts.
• 40px pill hugging content, 24px side padding — height: 40px; padding: 0 24px, and deliberately not flex: 1; stretching it is what made the old one read as a segmented control.
• Pill-shaped hover highlight — border-radius: 9999px on .seg, so the hover fill inherits it.
• subtitle/small font — Urbanist SemiBold 14/20.
• Semantic tokens, correct in dark mode — --tabbar-bg, --tabbar-border, --tabbar-selected-text, --tabbar-text, each with a dark equivalent, replacing hardcoded hex.
• More padding below the pill / height — 8 + 40 + 8 = the design's 56px. The Lantern fix landed at a computed ~42px.
• Dividing line below the header — border-bottom on the strip.

The note

Uses Note.svelte: correct component, correct font, real Material info glyph vertically centred, and the reduced padding round 2 asked for.

Status panel

• Material icons throughout (language, person, group, auto_mode), no stray strokes — these are filled Symbols paths with fill="currentColor" and no stroke, which is what the "extra stroke" note was describing.
• Single-line list rows for "people you're helping" and "total helped".
• Same drop shadow as the VPN page's panel.
• Status text is "Enabled" / "Off", not three lines.
• No "probing your network" state; the configuring state says "Configuring network".
• Panel is always shown, on or off.
• "Waiting for connections" appears only when on with no connections.
• The toggle-status icon takes its colour from a token, and the info icon beside "people being helped right now" is gone.

Auto-enable section

Material checkbox in text/link (--link), correct double-line list component, correct fonts.

Settings screens

Unbounded settings gets auto_mode and visibility_off; the main settings row now carries the same handshake as the tab. The "Hide Unbounded" subtitle is shortened to 41 chars — the width its sibling row already fits on one line — per "the text wraps".

Not done, deliberately

Mobile bottom bar. #3844 round 2 asks for one, and the design has it, but spark's sharing pool is cfg(desktop) — there is no mobile Unbounded surface to put a bar under yet. Building it blind is how the Lantern equivalent shipped unverified on a simulator it never ran on; this is left for when spark has a mobile target to check it against.

Globe and hearts burst

The first pass matched these by eye against a screen recording and never got there. This one reads the Flutter/Lantern implementation and its assets directly, which turned up three things a video could not show.

The reference does not use 3D arcs at all

It uses flutter_earth_globe, whose PointConnection projects both endpoints and then draws a quadratic Bézier between them in screen space (line_helper.dart).

That is the load-bearing detail, and the reason this component was stuck. A 3D arc at altitude bulges along the world radius, so near the middle of the visible disc the bulge points at the camera and projects as a flat loop; the only way to make it rise is to push the feet out toward the limb, where the same geometry reads as a hook instead. No altitude, ground span, or camera aim can make a world-space bulge rise on screen from every angle — which is why round after round of tuning those three knobs kept trading one artefact for the other. A screen-space curve always rises.

We diverge from the reference in one place, deliberately: it puts the control point radially outward from the disc's centre, which at its globe size and its data (a volunteer and peers a continent apart) reads as an arch, but at ours both feet land near the middle of the disc where "radially outward" is near-degenerate — the curve leaves one foot, swings past the limb and returns, a lasso across the globe's face. Each arch is raised perpendicular to its own chord instead, well-conditioned for every pair. Arches are anchored at their own peer: one foot on it, the other 23° along the same parallel — the separation measured in the recording — so both feet are real points on the sphere (the dots still occlude correctly) and, being at one latitude, land at one screen height, which is what makes the arch stand upright and narrow instead of leaning.

The globe's palette was inverted

Sampled off the recording, the ocean is #F5F5F5 and the land #DDDDDD. This had a grey ocean under white land — a negative of the reference. Arc and dot colours now come from the reference's own tokens (blue4/yellow3 at 75%, green6) rather than from pixels; the camera sits where the sphere fills the frame as the recording does; the atmosphere is a tight rim rather than a wide cyan disc; and the drop shadow is no longer clipped (round 2's item) with its intensity halved.

The burst is a Lottie file

assets/unbounded/explosion.json. Rather than add a Lottie runtime for one decorative flourish, its data is transcribed into CSS: a 420×502 canvas, all 14 hearts born at (121, 437.2), each with an authored destination (the fan is not random, which is why it reads as designed), 3.0s of motion on cubic-bezier(0, 0, .58, 1) with opacity fading on the same curve, a small per-heart rotation, and no scale animation — they do not pop in.

Two things a video actively misleads on:

• the apparent two tiers of pink are not per-heart alpha. Every fill is opaque and every heart fades identically, so the tiers are overlapping bursts — hence spawn appends rather than replaces.
• the heart is not Material's favorite but the getlantern/unbounded shape on a 0 0 32 27 viewBox, noticeably wider and flatter.

Keeping it in CSS rather than in the globe's WebGL context is deliberate: that canvas is the app's one real GPU cost and its render loop is paused off-tab, so tying a flourish to it is a poor trade. Keyframes run on the compositor, cost nothing when idle, and are disabled under prefers-reduced-motion — the country pill still shows, since it carries information.

The sphere is theme-aware, and its palette is easy to get backwards

The reference ships two textures, uv-map.png and uv-map-dark.png, and swaps them by theme — so a single light sphere reads as a bright disc on a dark screen. The sphere's colours are tokens now, with a dark palette, reapplied when the theme flips (the layout writes the resolved theme to <html data-theme>, so one attribute observer covers system/light/dark and the OS changing underneath "system"). We still draw the ocean as the material and the continents as polygons rather than loading either texture — they are 2048×1024 PNGs each, against a chunk whose whole point is staying lean.

The values came from probing those textures at known coordinates, which is worth recording because two easier readings both get it backwards:

• By frequency, #E9E9E9 covers 66% of the light map and #FFFFFF 33% — which looks like Earth's ocean/land split. It isn't evidence: equirectangular projection inflates the poles enormously.
• By sampling a rendered frame, you get whichever colour dominates the view, and for a Europe/Africa/Asia framing that is land, not ocean.

Probing three known ocean points (mid-Pacific, South Atlantic, Indian) against three known land points (Sahara, central Asia, Amazon) is unambiguous: ocean #E9E9E9, land #FFFFFF — the land is the lighter of the two. Dark is the same split: ocean #1E1F20, land #424B54.

Bugs that only surfaced once the above was in place

• The canvas host had width/height: 100% inside a centring grid, so its percentage height resolved against the canvas globe.gl had itself sized from the last measurement. Under overflow: hidden that was merely fragile; removing the clip (needed so the halo is not cut off) turned it into a ResizeObserver feedback loop that inflated the globe until it covered the screen. The box now comes from the positioned mount.
• globe.gl clears the element it is handed, so an overlay inside it is silently wiped on mount and no arc ever draws. The SVG is a sibling of the host.
• The endpoint dots are SVG circles, not globe.gl points: that layer draws a point as a 3D cylinder whose facets show as a jagged blob at the ~10px the design wants.
• An arch was culled on its peer foot only, so one whose far foot had crossed the limb drew as a spike off the edge. Both feet are tested now.
• The reference's idle pill ("Waiting for connections…") did not exist here at all. It now shares the arrival pill's chrome and slot, as it does there.

Review round

Five findings, each verified against the code before acting:

• Accessible names on the tab indicator lights. Indicator's contract allows omitting the label when adjacent text carries the meaning — true in the VPN status panel, false in the tab strip, where the text names the destination and nothing states whether it is on. The strip is also the only place the other tab's state appears. Labelled with two parameterised messages rather than a concatenated name + state, so no locale has to swallow an assembled sentence.

• One toggle-active colour. --toggle-on was applied only on the Unbounded screen, leaving four switches on --brand — one green toggle and four cyan. action/toggle/toggle-active-bg is a design-system token, so all five use it now, split tunnelling included: a shared token whose value depends on which screen you are on is worse than either colour consistently.

• Arrival detection had two real bugs. seenPeers started empty, so every peer in the first snapshot counted as an arrival — opening the screen while three people were connected fired a burst claiming someone new had joined. And departed ids were pruned only on ticks with no arrivals, so a peer leaving in the same tick another joined stayed in the set and its reconnect went uncelebrated.

  Both are sequence bugs — they depend on the order of snapshots, and neither is visible on screen, since a false burst looks exactly like a real one. That is untestable while the logic is three flags inside a component's $effect, so it moved to a pure arrivals() in $lib/unbounded and the sequences are now tests. Both were confirmed covered by breaking the implementation alone and watching the specific test fail (dropping the loaded gate fails two; making the prune conditional again fails the third).

  The loaded gate is the subtle half: baselining on the first call fixes nothing, because the page paints from a placeholder status whose peer list is empty, so an empty set becomes the baseline and everyone is celebrated one tick later. There is a test named for exactly that.

• The two round-one Copilot findings (a discarded fresh value and a comment naming a since-changed constant) are both gone with the rewrite.

Round two found two more, both real:

• The crest clamp could invert an arch. ny points up the screen and is therefore negative, so solving for the rise that lands the crest on the margin divides by a negative — and when the chord's midpoint is already at or above the margin, the result flips the control point below the chord and draws the arch upside down. It also had no Math.min, so on the other side it could inflate a small rise rather than reduce it. It now computes the room below the margin, skips the connection when there is none, and can only ever reduce.
• statusLoaded was not reactive. The effect re-runs today regardless, because each snapshot is a fresh object and peers changes identity — but that makes correctness depend on the backend never handing back the same array instance. If it did, and the first real snapshot matched the placeholder's empty list, the baseline would never be taken and the first real arrival would be absorbed instead of celebrated.

Round three came back clean. A self-review pass afterwards caught two more: home was still the name of an arc's second endpoint from when every arc ran to a fixed origin, and a chord that is vertical on screen (reachable for a peer near a pole, where both feet project to nearly the same x) collapses ny to zero and emits a path containing Infinity. Both fixed.

Verification

• svelte-check: 419 files, 0 errors, 0 warnings
• vitest: 38 tests, 8 files, all passing (6 new, covering the arrival sequences)
• vite build: clean
• cargo clippy --all-targets and cargo fmt --all --check on the Tauri crate: clean
• Every screen rendered and inspected in a browser against the Figma frames, in both themes, including a live theme flip without a reload
• Both arrival-tracking fixes confirmed covered by breaking the implementation alone and watching the specific test fail
• Arc geometry checked for non-finite coordinates, and every control point verified above its feet

Close, not pixel-identical. The burst is transcribed from the Lottie source, so its timing, easing, fan and colour are exact. The arches match the recording in colour, weight, span, height and framing, but their construction is our own (perpendicular-to-chord rather than the reference's radially-outward control point) for the reason given above, so individual curvature differs slightly from any given frame.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 148d0

The PR substantially updates the Unbounded UI and animations, but a few bounded issues remain: screen readers cannot identify tab state, active settings switches may use the wrong color, and peer notifications can be incorrect when the page loads or peers reconnect. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on these items.
