S1/S2 re-authored (Tractor Beam plus 13 curve-less designs), S5/S6 validation gaps
closed, S7's four surviving mutants pinned, S8 confirmed already correct, and the
zero-ConsumableItemData answer to Cut 0's question recorded. Also names two designs
outside the operator's named 15 (Earp, The Bat) found while enforcing the new
plateau-clamp rule -- the catalog would not open without touching them.

f4d5659d landed with StatValidation's OptimalTemperature-bounds check replaced by
`if (false)`: the mutation harness was running concurrently against this same file
and a `git add`/`git commit` caught it mid-mutation. Restores the real check. Caught
because the harness's own "not yet reached" scars in doctrine are what prompted a
by-hand recheck of the just-committed diff rather than trusting the terminal output
that said 80/80 green a moment earlier.

Migrated by a two-phase scratch console (neither kept): phase A dumps the
four retired exponent fields plus a curve fit (peak, optimum, near-peak
band) from the pre-Cut-1 code; phase B applies them as declared StatTerms
and authored OptimalTemperature/PlateauWidth under the new schema, in one
Commit, refusing to write anything if a single record fails to resolve.
348/348 stats and 51/51 EquippableItemData records migrated; zero
failures. AetherDb's census/factions/dangling/station-fit/hardpoint-fit/
loadout-1 are byte-identical before and after (captured with the matching
pre/post binary against the matching pre/post catalog, since neither
binary can open the other's catalog shape -- the pre-migration catalog no
longer opens under the new code, confirmed and explained in the report).
37 items fitted from an authored curve; 14 had none and got a full-range
plateau (reproducing the old "always full performance" behavior exactly).
281 of 348 stats evaluate identically at quality .5/full durability/optimum;
67 diverge upward (toward Max), the intended balance change Cut 0 flagged --
max delta ~73 units on a 750000-1750000 stat. Full table:

Operator ruling: all settings live in CultCache globals. Unity-serialized
CultMath fields load as zero, which cost mouse sensitivity and the rarity
tier colours. Marks the playground map's fork S as superseded.

AI-extended material built on Emily Harvey's 2020 tutorial premise (Threefra,
the staged assessment); her text is not reproduced. Beats advance on events and
mark which primitives exist, which are data-only, and which are missing.
