Zone.WellReference owns each body's reference zero (GetHeight uses it). Gravity.cginc mirrors GravityField.Potential;
Brushes/Gravity Field draws depth = -h on layer 9 from a StructuredBuffer that GravityLowering.Lower fills from the
zone each frame; GravityLowering.CreateField makes the one quad. GravityFieldParityVerify renders it and compares every
texel with -Zone.GetHeight (max error 0.0059 u), the gradient with GetForce (0.03 degrees) and the wiring.
Deleted: the Gravity Well children of Planet, Gas Giant, Sun and PlanetOutpost prefabs, Wormhole 1's three gravity
children, their overrides in Main Menu and TestScene, five wormhole/wave materials and two brush shaders,
Planet.GravityWellDepth/Radius, BodyData keys 6-7, PlanetSettings.GravityDepth/GravityRadius (and the Settings.asset
keys). Surface Displacement culls layer 9 only. Headless build and tests not yet run at this commit.

GravityField is the law of one well (logarithmic tail, softened core).
Zone.GetForce and GetHeight sum it over the bodies; GetNormal derives from
the force for ship tilt; Flow and Ship read GetForce. Well strength, core
radius and Roche limit are PlanetSettings curves of mass, height
exaggeration K one global. Deletes GravityAcceleration, GravityReferenceRate,
GravityStrength, the PowerPulse well, GetNormal's finite differences and
BodyData.GravityDepthExponent. Settings.asset carries the calibrated curves.
Tests: PotentialOwnerTests, the moon's moon placement, retired keys over every
BodyData type, a body-derived giant sweep. Not yet built or run (verify job
follows); this commit may not build.

GetHeight sums body wells only. Removes RadialWaves, GasGiant wave fields,
GasGiantData keys 14-17, PlanetSettings Zone*/Wave* fields, the minimap
gravity range, the Boundary brush and Gravity Waves objects from the scene
and both prefabs. The five bowl fixtures become one WellFixture well at the
origin with unchanged expected numbers. Not yet built or tested: this commit
has not been through the Yggdrasil job.

ZonePack.BossSpawned records the spawn, since a dead boss leaves no entity. RunGoal.ExitOpen requires it, so an exit zone
without a boss stays sealed, and ZoneGenerator logs that configuration by field and code.

- 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 ==.

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.

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.

Git keeps the history. SimpleCommodityData records its retired
MessagePack keys so they are not reused against old data.

Remove the vendored RethinkDb driver and its Linq provider, the Rethink
backing store, the already-stubbed RethinkConnection, the Rethink test
window, and the Rethink-only Remotion.Linq and Logging.Abstractions DLLs.
The database editor now works only on GameData/AetherDB.msgpack, with a
Save button replacing the dead Connect UI and broken JSON export.
RethinkTable becomes DatabaseCategory, which only groups editor entries.
Economy.Server still references Rethink; it was already unbuildable and
is handled separately.
