2D flight path rendering is discontinuous at small zoom levels affected with mapbox renderer API

[star-reader]

Description

The 2D flight path rendering becomes discontinuous at low zoom levels, particularly for long-distance flights. This could be due to bugs in the Mapbox style.layers.line renderer API, causing the flight path to be covered by terrain and become invisible.

Reproduction

Click pilot icon -> show flight path -> zoom to low zoom levels(3, 2, etc)

Expected

The flight path is correctly rendered

About this issue:

We are deferring the fix for the line clipping issues on the 3D terrain. The transition to Mapbox GL JS v3 introduces new behaviors regarding style.layer.line and depth handling that are not yet fully understood. A quick fix (like simple z-offsets) is unstable; a proper fix requires a comprehensive review of the v3 documentation and styling capabilities. We will keep this on the backlog and address it once we've allocated time for technical research.
