Chunks are detected by reflected light (Cut 3), not by a scanner. The
behavior's per-tick Update of Range, MinimumDensity and ScanDuration had no
reader anywhere; it goes, with the three properties and the interface.
ResourceScannerData stays authored.

MiningTool (its Execute range-checked against nothing, since no writer ever
set AsteroidBelt/Asteroid) and Zone.MineAsteroid (mints nothing; the
SimpleCommodity drop was commented out) are deleted, per Q1=A: "Bring back
the drill, indeed." Union tag 26 is retired, not reused. ResourceScanner's
dead survey Execute and its scan-target fields go too; its authored Range/
MinimumDensity/ScanDuration stay pending Q2. PlanetSettings.MiningDifficulty
had one reader, now gone.
Chunk wear (damage, broken-until) moves off AsteroidBelt's three per-belt
dictionaries and onto Zone as the one owner (Q3=A): Zone.Wear is the only
writer, ChunkExists/ChunkRadius are the readers, and respawn is a lazy
comparison against zone time, never a per-tick loop. ChunkId is
(CultRecordKey Field, int Index) -- "Field", not "Belt", because chunks are
meant to generalize past asteroid belts to other debris fields later.
Persisted in ZonePack's new key 6 (List<ChunkWearPack>, nullable so an older
record with no key 6 loads with no wear instead of throwing), pruned of
healed, non-broken entries at pack.
The break threshold stays strictly greater-than, matching today's behaviour:
damage exactly equal to hitpoints does not yet break the chunk.

Zone.Update no longer threads a per-belt Task.Run over a double-buffered
Transforms/OrbitPosition pair. AsteroidBelt.Pose/Size are the one place a
chunk pose is computed, a pure function of zone time; Zone.ChunkPose and
Zone.EvaluateBelt read them at the zone's own time. MiningTool,
ResourceScanner and ZoneRenderer (belt matrices and AsteroidBeltUI) all read
through Zone instead of the deleted per-tick buffers; the renderer owns its
own float4[] buffer, filled fresh every frame.
Deleted: System.Threading/.Tasks usings, BeltUpdates, the wait loop, the
per-belt copy+Task.Run, NearestAsteroid (dead/broken reader), the private
UpdateAsteroidTransforms, and AsteroidBelt's four pose fields plus their
allocations. ~65 lines, matching the cut map's estimate.
miningprobe, densest zone of the operator's save (EAC-2265, 809 asteroids,
8 belts), rebuilt against this cut and rerun 10x each side:
before (branch point, 8bd25f6f/e729e6d6):
Zone.Update wall 541-3654 us/tick, CPU 120-391 us/tick (7 clean runs)
3/10 runs crashed: InvalidOperationException from Zone.GetOrbitPosition,
the documented _updatedOrbits/Orbits data race between the main thread's
Clear() and a belt Task.Run
after (this commit):
Zone.Update wall 95-185 us/tick, CPU 99-152 us/tick, in line with the
31-39 us "no belt work" baseline the map recorded -- belts are free per
tick
0/10 races
ChunkPose has no buffer to go stale: ~0.12 u of parent+asteroid motion is
visible across one 17 ms tick instead of being one tick behind
tests/Aetheria.Shared.Tests/MiningCut1Tests.cs (new, 260/260 suite green):
ChunkPoseIsTheOrbitAtZoneTime, ChunkPoseDoesNotDependOnUpdateCadence,
DamagedChunkShrinksAndABrokenOneHasNoSize -- each expected value is the
closed-form orbit/size rule reimplemented in the test, never a call to
AsteroidBelt.Pose/Size.
Negative grep (Zone.cs, "Zone Display", ServerShared/Behaviors) for
Task\.Run|System\.Threading|NewTransforms|\.Transforms\b|BeltUpdates|
NearestAsteroid|\.OrbitPosition\b|NewOrbitPosition: one hit, the commented
line in MineAsteroid that Cut 2 deletes.

Cut 8b. Aetheria.Shared builds headless against GameCult.Caching and
GameCult.Caching.MessagePack at the pinned CultLib; the pin guard also
checks the Caching project exists.
Documents: [CultDocument("aetheria.<type>", "1")] with [MessagePackObject]
and integer [Key]s on the Q7 concrete types (the eight ItemData leaves,
Faction, FactionProductData, PersonalityAttribute, NameFile, OrbitData, the
four BodyData leaves, SavedZone, SavedGame, PlayerSettings, InputLayout).
SavedGame and PlayerSettings are [CultGlobal]; Name members are [CultName].
ItemData, CraftedItemData, EquippableItemData, BodyData and AgentTask lose
[MessagePackObject]; BodyData and AgentTask lose their [Union]s. InputLayout
moves into ServerShared so AetheriaStores can route it.
References: Guid and DatabaseLink<T> members become CultRecordRef<T>;
Guid-keyed maps become ref-keyed with [CultReference(..., many: true)];
ZonePack holds refs to orbit and body records. Runtime maps (Zone orbits,
bodies and belts, cargo ItemsOfType, agent targets) key by CultRecordKey.
Identity is the record key: ID comparisons become reference or key
comparisons. StatModifierData.RequireBehavior is a simple type name.
AetheriaStores.Open composes the catalog (read-only unless writable), run
and player stores, one home per type. CultRecordRefs carries IsSet, a
null-safe Get(ref), RefOf (key from TryGetHandle) and Upsert.
ItemManager.GetData is the one item resolution path. MathResolver is
declared by [assembly: CultCacheFormatterResolver].
Inspector attributes: text, range and asset path map onto CultLib's
CultInspector attributes (asset path only on string members); every
replaced Aetheria attribute keeps [Inspectable] for the runtime panel.
Builds: Aetheria.Shared. Does not build: AetherDb and the Unity project,
which follow.

Every Unity.Mathematics using, alias and qualified name under Assets\Scripts
and tools now names CultMath. The nine `using static ...noise;` lines are
gone: snoise lives on CultMath's math. UnityExtensions loses float4.ToColor
and Color.ToFloat4, which duplicate the bridge's ToColor and ToCultMath; the
float3 colour pair stays because the bridge has none.
