- ItemManager(uint seed, ...) refuses seed 0 and seeds Random from it.
- RunStart.ItemSeed(galaxy, step) is public (formula unchanged), refuses a
zero result; named steps ArenaStep, StageStep, ContinueStep and NoRunSeed.
- Continue seeds the item stream from the saved run's seed (ContinueStep);
a scene with no galaxy uses NoRunSeed.
- Zone's unpack scatter draws SimulationDice.For(CombatSeed, ScatterStream,
1-based pack ordinal), never the item stream.
- Loadout's scratch manager and AetherDb's catalog command take fixed seeds;
every test and Editor construction gains 1u (mechanical rewrite).

ScenarioStage.Approach(entity, target) states a piloted entity's task as a follow task on the target, passed through Zone.Admit to the flight as the member's baseline task; it replaces Patrol(entity, orbit) and the orbit index, and RunStart's post-admit circuit overwrite. LockOn stages at .6, the quality Crossing and the other RunStart scenarios use (its brief states none), not .8 picked by outcome.
The bearing check keeps well-law r4's intent (measure against the hostile's actual pose, not the staged line) but reads the poses of the tick before the paint was first seen, which is the tick it was stamped in, with a .05 deg limit for float error; the live-pose check at .5 deg spent its budget on the paint inbox's deliberate one-tick delay. LockOnHoldsUnderOnePercentOfEachStagedInput moves hostile x, y and quality by 1% each way.

ScenarioStage.Patrol(entity, near) states a piloted entity's patrol order (the orbit nearest a point) and RunStart applies it over the drawn circuit. LockOn stages its fit at .6 and the hostile on the orbit by the player. Tests: every SimulationDice stream draws independently of every other (they already did: the stream is mixed into the hash), the pilot's sample offset is on its own stream's grid, a patrol circuit does not move with items minted first, Crossing.ProjectorRange is read against the live range.

PlanetSafetyRadius, ChildDistanceMinimum/Maximum, ExpandSolar's distance series
and the window filters are deleted. Place (ported from replace.py, root window
from rootReach per root-window-floor) lays children inside-out, folds the
lightest family while the outermost overflows, stretches to the window, merges
rings that cannot keep their heavy member outside its Roche margin and sets
belt half widths. Stations pick well-bearing, sibling-clear off-ring bodies;
the tutorial entrance falls back to an orbit round a root node; turrets stop a
side when within the base body's extent. GenerateZone/GenerateArena take
PlanetSettings. Not yet built.

RunSave.Capture takes the credits; a scenario may set the starting amount, defaulting to the gameplay settings'.

ScenarioStage.Generated picked from ItemManager.Random, which is clock-seeded per process and advances in play, so a
relaunch of Djinni Shakedown or Long Haul in one session gave the player a different fit; every branded lot's
workmanship and role fills came from the same clock stream, so arena gear and explicit fits varied in quality too.
Galaxy now keeps the seed it was generated at, and RunStart.GenerateArena and Stage each reseed the item manager's
random from it, one stream per step, so what runs between them cannot shift either.
SeedRules relaunches every fixed-seed scenario around a clock-free Main Galaxy launch and a scrambled item random,
and compares the galaxy (links, factions, homes, exit too), the arena down to each item's maker and workmanship, and
the staged fits.

A Scenario is an abstract C# class compiled with the game: Generate picks the galaxy through GalaxyStage (Main or
Prelude, at the scenario's seed, the background noise drawn from the same seed), Stage places the run's first
entities through ScenarioStage (Fit, Bare, Generated, Preset, Player, Place, Cargo), which collects named failures
and admits nothing. RunStart generates the galaxy, the arena under Ambient and admits everything through Zone.Admit,
all or nothing. The aetheria.scenario record, ScenarioShip, ScenarioEntity, RunStart.Check and the null-scenario
branch are cut.
New Game opens a submenu: Tutorial Galaxy and Main Galaxy, then (editor and development builds) Djinni Shakedown,
Starved Reactor, Arcs, Duel, Launcher Angles and Long Haul, each with its brief. MainMenu.Launch is the one way into a
new run; ActionGameManager.PendingScenario carries the scenario to StartGame once.

RunStart (ServerShared, no Unity type) owns what a new run starts with
(docs/scenarios-cut.md, 2.2):
- GenerateArena: the galaxy's entrance pack, generated under the scenario's
Ambient rule. ZoneGenerator.GenerateZone gains `ambient`; false keeps
planets, orbits and stations and generates no ship, turret or wanderer.
- Check: every failure staging a scenario would hit, found with no zone,
touching no store.
- Stage: all-or-nothing. With no scenario, the generated starting-hull ship
at the origin, as StartGame built it. With one, the player preset and the
entities at their authored place and heading with cargo, stance set both
ways through SetIff, a Minion for each piloted one; all through Zone.Admit.
Scenario (aetheria.scenario v1) joins AetheriaStores.CatalogTypes.
RunStartTests stage into a real prelude arena from the shipped catalog and
authored settings.
