3. Operator Colors

2. validate readability in both light and dark themes,
3. avoid near-identical colors.

4. If resources are loaded but still not visible

Checklist:

1. verify CSV keys match ZIP asset naming,
2. clear browser cache,
3. confirm icon mapping is not overriding expected silhouette behavior,
4. verify aircraft records include the expected type/operator metadata.

4. Theme-related map visuals

1. Map controls (zoom, layers, location, visual settings) use one unified visual style.
2. In Futuristic and OverFuture, controls should not have an extra outer frame around grouped buttons.
3. If old framing still appears after deployment, clear browser cache and reload the page.
