0a3180d386 Flow: register the flow keywords, one zone-time value for Zone.Flow and the scroll, presenter phases from zone time, folded scroll, tighter parity
- VolumeSampling registers FLOW_GLOBAL / FLOW_SLOPE with GlobalKeyword.Create (the constructor only looks up).
- FlowField.Scroll folds each Tri3D octave's phase modulo 1 in double (float2, [0,1)); Zone.Flow evaluates at Zone.FlowScroll.
- FlowField.Cycle: the nebula's flow cycle and Stardust's particle lifetime phase come from zone time (_FlowCycle, phase uniform), not _Time.y / Time.time.
- FlowFieldParityVerify reaches the keyword-gated flow(), fails on logged errors, tolerance 3e-4; mutants updated.

Not built or run when committed.

e8ec8e903c Flow field: FlowField owns the global flow, Zone.Flow evaluates it at zone time, VolumeSampling.LowerFlow lowers it
FlowField (ServerShared) is the flow law; Zone.Flow/FlowScroll read PlanetSettings.Flow at zone
time. The Flow block moves from DefaultEnvironment to PlanetSettings (ZoneEnvironment key 1 is
retired), VolumeSampling's frame-clock scroll accumulator and the Stardust leftover field are
deleted, and slopeFlow returns 0 for a zero gradient. Unity parity probe follows in the next
commit; this commit has not been built in Unity.

69aca09f63 Boundless
Removed hard zone boundaries
Fixed stuff that broke because of hard zone boundary assumption (stardust placement, vertical fog)
Added a skybox!
Removed density-based albedo boost (_TintExponent) to improve perceptual uniformity at different step sizes, reconfigured shader to achieve / surpass previous looks and performance
Cell Brush has a material editor now to enable variant selection
Enabled Caching Shader Preprocessor
Moved raymarching loop into CloudShader
Get environment settings from game manager to enable configuration / variation
Introduced slope-based nebulae damping and volumetric flow
Hid optional volumetric features behind preprocessor branches
Created shader variants selected by global keywords for all shaders depending on volumetrics
Environment settings used to configure shader variant selection
Moved dynamic lighting settings to own subclass
Dynamically adjust gravity map isoline contour depth range according to zone contents

c3329cecc4 Unified Volumetric Flow
Modified stardust & nebula shaders such that flow velocity is consistent: Volumetric:flow now represents global velocity in meters per second

b08423b936 NEW CLOUDS NEW CLOUDS NEW CLOUDS WHOOO
Added new clouds shader with improved raymarching loop
Currently only being used in main menu (rest is coming right up!)
Removed WWise (it's nice, but all it's doing is throwing exceptions rn since we ain't about to get a license)
