+# Coverage Degradation Overlay Implementation
+
+## Summary
+Implemented before/after coverage overlay in dashboard for self-healing fleet events, as required by plan.md Component 12.
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### viz3d.js
+Added comprehensive coverage degradation overlay functionality:
+
+1. **showCoverageDegradation(data)** - Main function that:
+   - Receives fleet change event data from WebSocket
+   - Compares GDOP values before/after node loss
+   - Creates ground plane cells colored by degradation level
+   - Displays legend with before/after statistics
+   - Highlights affected zones in red/amber/yellow
+
+2. **dismissCoverageDegradation()** - Cleans up overlay when node recovers
+
+3. **Supporting functions**:
+   - `calculateGDOPDegradation(before, after)` - Categorizes degradation as severe/moderate/mild/none
+   - `getDegradationColor(level, gdopAfter)` - Maps degradation levels to colors
+   - `createDegradationLegend(data)` - Shows before/after stats with color-coded legend
+   - `clearCoverageOverlay()` - Removes all overlay meshes and sprites
+
+4. **State variables**:
+   - `_coverageOverlayMeshes` - Stores degraded cell meshes
+   - `_coverageOverlayVisible` - Toggle state
+   - `_coverageOverlayData` - Current event data
+   - `_coverageOverlayGroup` - THREE.Group for organization
+   - `_degradationLegendSprites` - Legend sprite storage
+
+5. **Public API exports**:
+   - Added `showCoverageDegradation` and `dismissCoverageDegradation` to module exports
+
+## Integration
+
+The implementation integrates with existing infrastructure:
+- WebSocket handler in app.js already calls `Viz3D.showCoverageDegradation()` on fleet_change events
+- FleetChangeEvent in selfheal.go already includes all required GDOP before/after data
+- Dashboard toast notifications and timeline events already working
+
+## Degradation Levels
+
+- **Severe** (red): >2x GDOP increase OR GDOP > 8 (poor coverage)
+- **Moderate** (amber): >1.5x increase OR GDOP > 4 (fair coverage)
+- **Mild** (yellow): >20% GDOP increase
+- **None**: No significant change (not displayed)
+
+## User Experience
+
+When a node goes offline:
