The map shaded COUNTRIES and stopped there, so the one question it could not answer
was the only one that matters in the field: for THIS group, what exists right now?
12,379 people-group pins now sit on it, each one clickable into the resources for
its language.
THE JOIN. people-groups-slim.json carries Lat/Long per people-group-in-country;
people-group-resources.json carries the real scripture_url/film_url per LANGUAGE.
The key is ISO 639-3 (slim.LanguageCode == resources.iso639_3), never the group
name — a group is reached in its language, not its nationality, and names collide
across unrelated languages.
MEASURED at build time: 5,981 of 12,379 pins (48.3%) join a resource record and
5,109 (41.3%) join one carrying a real URL, across 862 language codes. The other
59% is not a gap in the data to be hidden — it IS the subject. A pin with nothing
found sorts ABOVE a covered one, so the gap wins the z-fight at world zoom rather
than disappearing under a green dot.
NO URL IS INVENTED. Every link is copied from the resources table, which records
its own checked_pools/unchecked_pools, and the sheet keeps saying "none found
means absent from the pools checked, never proof that nothing exists". has_audio
keeps its third state: absent means the pool was never queried, not a no.
PIN COLOURS READ OFF BANDS rather than declaring a fourth palette, so a pin and
the country under it can never disagree about what "nothing found" looks like.
The table is generated into data/tables/ — the REPO ROOT copy, which is what
generate-tree publishes. The plugin-local data/tables/ is a stale divergent
duplicate that nothing serves; building into it ships a file no page fetches.
Verified on the served tree at 1280x800: 12,379 pins loaded AND rendered, layer
and source present, and a click on Han Chinese returns ebible.org/cmn2006/ plus
jesusfilm.org languageId=53352, both rendered as real anchors in the sheet and
both answering 200. window.__grState() exposes those counts so the next check does
not have to guess at screen coordinates to hit a 3px dot.
