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.

- Entity.Target is one slot of TargetRef, read-only from outside
(IReadOnlyReactiveProperty); Entity.SetTarget is its one writer. A chunk is
taken only while the entity can see it, so a rock in darkness cannot be
picked. Every handler, agent, turret and test writes through SetTarget.
- Entity.ChunkInfo (Q14 A): the value the per-tick sensor rule settles at,
computed on demand through Sensor.PassiveRate/Sensor.Gain -- sum of the
active sensors' passive rates over (sensors x TargetInfoDecay), capped at 1.
Stored nowhere; no per-tick loop over chunks. ChunkVisible is the detection
threshold through the chunk path.
- The lost-track rule reads through the chunk path: Activate's reconciliation
and a per-tick check of the one slot drop a chunk target that has gone dark.
- Entity.VisibleChunksInReach (Q13 A): visible chunks within the longest range
among active weapons -- the one reach rule for cycling and programmatic picks.
- Entity-only readers take .Entity: TargetedBy/TargetedByCount, target items,
the stance gate (a chunk has no stance), lock (Q12 A: never on a chunk),
turrets, Combat, Minion, FireControl (a chunk fires untargeted until Cut 4).
TargetRange and the arc gate read a chunk's planar position.
- ActionGameManager: the reticle and next/previous offer visible ships and
visible chunks in reach; nearest stays enemies-only; the target panel,
indicator and fire-control debug take TargetRef. EntityInstance reads .Entity.
- MiningCut3Tests pin parity, darkness, monotone brightness, wear and break,
reach, the chunk query, target survival and loss, TargetRef equality, lock,
and field-kind assignment at generation and first load.

- FieldKindData, a catalog document (Q11): a kind's reflectivity per schematic
cell and its generation weight. AetheriaStores routes it to the catalog.
- AsteroidBeltData.Kind, key 10 (Q16 B). FieldKinds.Assign is the one pick (a
weighted choice by a stable hash of the belt's key); FieldKinds.Ensure gives
a kindless belt its kind and saves it. ZoneGenerator calls it at generation
and Zone calls it on first load, so an old belt is assigned once by the same
rule and keeps its kind after later catalog edits.
- Zone.ChunkVisibility: Reflector's rule for a chunk -- kind cross-section x
area in schematic cells x the light on it. Stored nowhere; a worn chunk dims,
a broken one or a kindless belt's is dark.
- Zone.ChunksNear: the one chunk query, skipping belts whose annulus cannot
reach. AsteroidBelt gains InnerRadius for that skip.
- TargetRef: an entity, a chunk, or none, with value equality and no ==.

Sensor.Execute's ping and passive gain arithmetic moves, term for term and in
the same multiplication order, into one static function, Sensor.Gain. The
entity loop calls it; Sensor.PassiveRate calls it for the on-demand chunk
query that follows. SensorGainExtractionChangesNothing holds the recorded
EntityInfoGathered trace bit for bit.

SensorGainExtractionChangesNothing drives a fixed scene (two reflecting ships at
different ranges and bearings, a ping part way through) and pins the observer's
EntityInfoGathered trace, bit for bit, by hash. The golden value is recorded
against the pre-extraction Sensor.Execute.

Applies corrections 1-11 of the refresh's A.1 to docs/mining-cut.md: the status
header records the 2026-09-30 rulings, Q14 and Q16 stay open (they block Cut 3),
and M-Soul content is unknown (the mutation sweep at 22fb4021 stands in). Cuts 3
and 4 are replaced with the refresh's versions; Cut 6 is deleted with a history
pointer (Q9 = C); the scanner-as-chunk-sensor plan and the fallback range tunable
are struck; Q2's detection paragraph is replaced with the operator's 2026-09-30
correction; the FireControl target table is marked history at 8bd25f6f.
The refresh's Cut 5 and Cut 7 texts are not folded in; the header says so.

Every mutant of the Cut 1-2 chunk surface (Zone.ChunkExists, ChunkRadius,
Wear, EvaluateBelt, ChunkPose, PackZone/unpack, AsteroidBelt.Pose and its
sizes, ChunkId) was run against MiningCut1Tests and MiningCut2Tests. Six
survived; five are behaviour and get a test each:
- ChunkExists is false for a body that is not a debris field (a planet) and
for a key naming no body.
- A hit on the exact respawn instant lands on the live chunk (Wear agrees
with ChunkExists and ChunkRadius about the boundary).
- A chunk worn after respawning packs with no BrokenUntil.
- ChunkPose carries the worn size, and zero for a broken chunk.
- Chunk rotation wraps at one turn (the fixture never reached one before).
The Cut 2 fixture gains a non-belt body, and its settings the three curves
that body's constructor reads. The sixth survivor, a ChunkId hash that
ignores the index, changes no observable behaviour.
Tests only; no production change.

One Solve decision feeds Fire, Inspect and Refuses. Literal arming distance
on every detonation path; no-lock rounds of any fuse stop at the first hull;
a round fired at a target that leaves does not burst; refusal is free,
cooldown included; AI decides per weapon and never fires a refused weapon;
the HUD shows the outcome. Soul passes 5-7; batch 8 closes their follow-ups.

After its fade a round kept integrating Velocity through the BindingLifetime wait, then a Hit (which carries
no burst point) played HitEffect at the drifted position. The wait now holds still; a hit without a point
plays the effect at the round's target position, and is skipped when the round never knew one. OnEnable resets
BindingLifetime so a pooled split child, which is never bound, does not inherit the last round's.

A released charge has a burst pending and no cooldown until its first round, so a second Activate in that
window started a second charge; Activate now asks CanFire. The round that starts a burst's cooldown does so
after the tick's decrement, which made every cooldown one tick long; it now charges that tick to the cooldown.
Pins both, and that a burst triggered after a fired one is not ready before its first round.

A burst is sized from stats the first Execute resolves, so the untouched fixture gun fired nothing.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
BurstCount is set by the first Execute, so a trigger pulled with no tick has no burst pending. The
tests now run one tick and read whether the cooldown started.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The cooldown now starts at a burst's first fired round, so Progress no longer moves at the trigger.
IffAndCombatTests read CanFire (false while a burst is pending) instead, and the charged-weapon
control uses the charge-start event name the sound bank resolves.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A burst whose every round is refused fires nothing and leaves no cooldown: the cooldown moves from
Trigger to the first round Execute does not refuse, and CanFire holds a triggered burst that has not
yet fired. ChargedWeapon.Activate asks FireControl before it starts charging, so a refused weapon pays
no charge heat or audio. InReach is deleted: Designated carries the one range test and the lock gate,
and Combat reads it. GuidedProjectile answers Resolve while alive and keeps its binding through the
shot's flight time, so a faded round still shows the simulation's detonation.

The mutation pass on the fuse fixes left one survivor: a no-lock round whose
aim ends inside the blast radius (a designated target out of arc) flew only to
its aimed point instead of the arming distance, and nothing noticed. Its arrival
is now pinned to the arming distance, beside the targeted case.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Operator ruling 2026-09-30: a no-lock round of any fuse stops at the first hull
on its aim line and detonates there (bomb fishing still bursts at max range on
a clear line). CommitBurst no longer special-cases Contact.
Soul's findings on 14f66634..7e620ff9:
- Arming (HIGH): a contact or delayed blast on a hull nearer the muzzle than the
blast radius detonated at the hull. Armed is now the one owner of the arming
rule; Solve plans its burst point through it and ApplyBlastHit pushes the hull
point through it.
- A refused beam never starts (ConstantWeapon.Activate asks Refuses), so
OnStartFiring no longer flashes visuals and audio for a beam that fires nothing.
- Step removes a shot from the queue before Apply runs damage observers, so a
throwing observer cannot make the blast repeat every tick.
- AgentFires consults Solve for a fused weapon: a refused weapon is never fired
and Combat's group pick no longer counts its damage.
- SingleAmmoBurst pays at its first unrefused round in Execute, judged with the
Range that round flies with, instead of at the trigger on the previous tick's.
- Inspect reads Designated from Solve (FireSolution.Designated) instead of
recomputing visible, in-range and locked; FireControlDiagnostic drops those
three fields and the debug HUD shows the one. Combat's group range test is
FireControl.InReach, the range half of Designated (a LockWeapon must be
activated to acquire its lock, so Combat cannot ask Designated itself).
Tests pin each rule, plus the two surviving gaps: a pushed-out targeted round's
arrival at the arming distance, and the AgentMinHitProbability boundary.

The overshoot branch of GuidedProjectile.Update (out of range, or flown past
its target) instantiated HitEffect whatever the simulation had decided. A round
the simulation never detonated could therefore explode on screen. The branch now
fades the round out; Resolve stays the one place a HitEffect is shown for a
detonation.

The trigger's own refusal check stopped a short-Range round before Execute
ever reached its refusal, so wear, heat, visibility and sound left ahead of
Execute's `continue` survived every mutation. The cost theory now also
authorises a burst directly, the way a trigger that passed leaves it, and the
separate ammo-only test folds into it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Unity-only, compile-checked by reading.
* F5: GuidedProjectile.Binding is one owner: a new binding disposes the one it
replaces, Kill disposes it, and OnDestroy does too, so a projectile torn down
with its scene cannot leave an observer on the zone's subjects to touch a
destroyed transform.
* F6: Resolve takes whether the simulation detonated. A miss (a contact or
delayed round that missed, a target that left) fades out with no explosion.
* F7: BurstAt resets the previous target position and target velocity, so the
retarget jump does not feed the guidance a bogus target velocity.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Operator rulings 2026-09-30.
* Combat and TurretController ask FireControl.AgentFires for each weapon. A
fused weapon fires whenever its target is designated (Designated, the one
visible / in-range / locked predicate PFire already used), whatever the arc;
an agent never fires one at nothing. A direct-hit weapon keeps the
AgentMinHitProbability threshold. The group's first weapon no longer speaks
for the group, and the turret's own range test is gone.
* FireControl.Solve is the one decision about what a round does, extracted
from Fire: Direct, Burst at a reach, or Refused. Fire, Inspect and the
weapons' refusal check all read it. Inspect gains Outcome and BurstReach and
the debug HUD prints them for fused weapons.
* A refused round costs nothing. InstantWeapon asks before its ammo and energy
spend (at the trigger and at each round), ConstantWeapon folds the refusal
into the gate its power request and Execute already share, so a refused beam
draws no power, wear, heat or visibility and stops.
* The arming distance is BlastRadius, measured from the shooter's position and
blind to hull size. HullAhead's exit, ArmingDistance and
PendingShot.ArmingDistance are deleted; HullAhead survives as HullEntry for
the contact fuse. A round fired at a valid target inside the radius is pushed
out along its line but keeps its target, so a departed target cancels it.
* Step settles a shot's queue state before publishing about it, so a throwing
presentation observer costs its own notification and cannot re-commit or
re-resolve the shot on every later tick.
Tests: FireControlPerWeaponTests (new; includes a fused-beam fixture), the
arming tests in FireControlCut124Tests rewritten to the literal distance,
the hull-inclusive probe premises deleted.

- GuidedProjectileManager passed target.transform to OnFireGuided for a
no-target fused round: a NullReferenceException inside InstantWeapon.Execute
after the shot was queued, which skipped audio, wear, heat and visibility
and unwound Zone.Update. The tuple's transform is null-safe now, and the
trackmissile console command falls back to the missile.
- Presentation follows the commit rather than predicting it. The manager binds
each guided round to Zone.ShotCommitted (retarget to the burst point the
commit names, so a Contact round bursts at its hull and a Range-clamped
burst is not overshot) and ShotResolved (burst there, then). The binding is
disposed when the projectile dies, so a pooled round does not accumulate them.
- Beams and barrel-fired projectiles stay with F5.

Operator ruling 2026-09-30. A fused round's burst is at least BlastRadius
beyond the far edge of the shooter's own hull, measured along the flight line
against the hull as it stood at fire (HullAhead's exit). A close burst -- a
target inside that distance, in or out of arc -- is pushed out along the aim
and carries no target; a contact round is floored to it too.
- The F3 trigger gate is deleted. Fire refuses a round (returns 0) whose
arming distance exceeds Range, per round, where Range is read after Execute
refreshed it; InstantWeapon and ConstantWeapon skip a refused round.
- PFire's range, Inspect's range and the range clamp are planar (R7).
- HullEntryDistance becomes HullAhead (entry and exit); the max(...,0) clamp
on entry is gone, the arming floor covers it.
- ShotOutcome.HasBurstPoint names the rounds that have a frozen burst point.
- SafeAssert: the tests no longer hand xunit an Entity, PendingShot or
ShotOutcome to format; a failing assertion had been overflowing the test
host's stack.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
EntityInstance handed effect managers the shooter's selected target whatever
FireControl decided. A fused round whose target was invalid or out of arc
flies at none, and GuidedProjectileManager dropped a launcher shot with no
target entirely, so a real burst had no missile.
- Zone.TryGetShot: a presentation reads the shot the simulation committed
(its target, its burst point) by the ShotId OnFire hands it.
- EntityInstance passes the shot's own target; a launcher round with none
flies to the shot's burst point.

Operator ruling 2026-09-30: a fused weapon with a selected but out-of-arc
target fires. Its round flies along the arc-clamped aim and bursts at the
target's range. Non-fused weapons still refuse.
- FireControl.ArcPermitsFire is the one trigger arc gate (fused weapons are
exempt); Fire reads the same InArc through PFire's new designated/inArc
outs, which replace `bears`. No valid targeting data still bursts at Range.
- F3: a fused weapon whose effective Range does not exceed its BlastRadius
stays safed at the trigger (FuseCanArm, read from the runtime Range). The
catalog check on Range.Min is deleted; it read the authored floor, which
Evaluate can scale below.
- F4: a targeted proximity burst is pulled back along its line to Range.
- F8: a proximity round that detonates commits as Burst (or Hit); Apply's
Proximity case collapses into the Burst path via Outcome.BurstPoint.
- Tests: arc-only and LockWeapon gates, out-of-arc burst, trigger gate,
runtime-Range refusal, Range clamp, Burst typing, commit horizon, and
Soul's adopted probes (aim clamp edges, contact point, target leaves,
shooter destroyed).

Assert.Null(shot.Target) and Assert.Same(committed, resolved) format the

Operator rulings 2026-09-30 after Soul's pass on 8c002637:
- A no-lock round flies along Entity.LookDirection restricted by the mount's
arc (FireControl.AimDirection: inside InArc's cone as is, outside it turned
to the cone's edge; no aim falls back to the mount). The simulation had no
aim clamp before; the old code used the hull-fixed mount direction.
- An invalid target (out of range, out of arc, not visible, not locked) counts
as no lock for a fused round. PFire's gate is the one decider and now also
reports `bears`; Fire reads it. The round carries no target afterwards.
- A no-lock Contact round bursts at the first hull its aim line crosses
before max range, read through Lane's own cell admission (CellsOnLine,
split out of Lane). Proximity and Delayed keep the max-range burst. Such a
round commits at Fire, since it has no target facing to read late, and
arrives when it has flown to the burst point. The seam for mining chunks is
FireControl.ContactDistance.
- A round outlives its shooter: Step no longer cancels a shot whose source
left the zone. Resolution reads the zone and the target; the shooter is an
identity a shot carries. PendingShot.FireOrigin freezes where it left from.
- ShotOutcome.Result (Miss, Hit, Burst) replaces the stored Hit bool, which
is now derived. A burst without a target is no longer reported as a miss,
and the debug HUD labels it BURST.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Soul: a no-lock round bursts at Range, so Range <= BlastRadius (or a zero
Range) lands the blast on the shooter. Made structurally impossible at the
catalog rather than policed at runtime: StatValidation.ValidateFuse joins
the checks CultRecordRefs.Validate runs on every Upsert, at the weakest value
the Range stat can take. Only a weapon that will detonate (a Fuse and a
BlastRadius above zero) is held to it.
AetheriaStores.Open now calls that same Validate for every equippable and
consumable document instead of carrying its own copy of the three checks, so
Upsert and Open can no longer disagree.
