The panel had grown two shapes for the same kind of choice. Some filters were
checkboxes, some were chips, and New counties only was a checkbox duplicating a
chip - which I added, and which was the worst of it: a control that exists twice
is not more discoverable, it is one control the operator has to recognise twice.
The rule now:
SWITCH a behaviour that is on or off, and narrows nothing by a property of
the station: hide worked, group duplicates, the two display options,
LoTW users only.
CHIPS pick any number from a set; none picked means all. Status, mode,
spotter continent. Selected is solid, unselected is the same chip
faded, so the palette keeps teaching the colour code while switched
off.
Nothing appears in both shapes. The duplicate county checkbox is gone.
Spotter continent became a chip row: seven two-letter codes fit on two lines,
they read as a set the way Status and Mode do, and several can be picked at
once - which "EU or NA" needs and a dropdown cannot express.
Both Lock buttons now sit in the heading of the section they lock, instead of
floating between sections, and every multi-select section clears the same way
through the same heading slot. One section helper and one chip helper, so the
next filter cannot drift.
The panel was also entirely hardcoded English - Search call, Hide worked, Bands,
Status - against the project's own bilingual rule. All of it goes through t()
now, both locales.
