fix(overpass): rotate mirrors on any refusal, and never cache one as data

The proxy lists four mirrors and rotated on 5xx alone, so a 4xx ended the
fan-out. Measured against the live services: overpass-api.de and its lz4 alias
answer 406 to this proxy's User-Agent, while overpass.kumi.systems and
overpass.private.coffee answer 200 to the byte-identical request. Every
Overpass-backed feature — road geometry, annotation outlines, place lookup —
was failing on an Apache error page with two healthy mirrors untried.

The refusal was then cached. The cache guard read `status < 500`, so the error
page was written to memory and to disk, and the serve-stale guard used the same
threshold and declined to replace it. Boundary-class queries hold a month-long
TTL: four of twenty-three cached entries on this machine held that 406, dated
days after the mirror had stopped refusing.

Both decisions now go through one predicate. A payload is data only when it is
a 2xx that is neither rate-limited nor a body-level runtime error, so what may
be cached and what may be replaced by a stale entry cannot drift apart again.

A refusal every mirror agrees on is still reported with the first mirror's
status and body, so a malformed query says what upstream said — after every
mirror has had its chance, not instead of it. fetchOverpassPayload takes
injectable endpoints and fetch so the rotation is covered without a live
mirror; restoring either half of the old behaviour fails the new tests.

## [Unreleased]
### Fixed
- The Overpass proxy now rotates to the next mirror on any non-2xx upstream
response, not only on 5xx. `overpass-api.de` and its `lz4` alias answer 406 to
the proxy's User-Agent while two of the configured mirrors answer 200 to the
identical request, so the fan-out stopped at the first refusal with healthy
mirrors untried. The refusal was also cached to memory and disk and served as
data — boundary-class queries hold a month-long TTL — which affected every
Overpass-backed feature: road geometry, annotation outlines and place lookup.

- **Track trails**: server accumulates per-MMSI ring buffers (`/api/ais-live/track?mmsi=`, Float32+Uint32, 64 samples, 30s/25m thinning); aircraft backfill proxies `/api/opensky-track` (OAuth, own credit bucket) and `/api/adsblol/trace` (tar1090 readsb, ~24h history, ODbL — credit adsb.lol).
- Shared `src/data/pickRegistry.js` stops the two flight layers' click handlers from fighting over the camera.
### Overpass proxy mirror rotation (September 2026)
- `/api/overpass` fans out across four public mirrors. `overpassPayloadIsData()` is the single predicate deciding what counts as an answer, and it governs BOTH what enters the cache and when a stale entry may stand in, so the two cannot drift apart. Only a 2xx that is neither rate-limited nor a body-level runtime error is data.
- The rotation used to trigger on 5xx alone, so a 4xx ended the fan-out and was returned, cached to memory AND disk, and served to the client as data. Measured against the live mirrors: `overpass-api.de` and `lz4.overpass-api.de` answer **406** to the proxy's `User-Agent` while `overpass.kumi.systems` and `overpass.private.coffee` answer **200** to the byte-identical request — so every Overpass-backed feature failed on an Apache error page with two healthy mirrors untried, and four of twenty-three cached entries on the machine this was found on held that error page. Boundary-class queries carry a month-long TTL, so one refusal outlived its outage by weeks.
- A refusal every mirror agrees on is still reported with the first mirror's status and body, so a genuinely malformed query says what upstream said — but only after every mirror has had the chance to answer it. `fetchOverpassPayload` takes injectable endpoints and fetch so the rotation is tested without a live mirror (`src/overpassProxy.test.mjs`).

// The proxy fans out across four public mirrors. What decides whether a mirror
// has answered is one predicate, and it is used TWICE: once to decide what

// those two drifted, a refusal was written to memory and disk AND served as
// data — and boundary-class queries hold a month-long TTL, so a single refusal
// outlived the outage that caused it by weeks.

// 406 to this proxy's User-Agent, while kumi.systems and private.coffee answer
// 200 to the identical request. Only 5xx rotated mirrors, so the fan-out
