LockWeapon.Execute paints its target with its own Lock (the one value the outgoing indicator also reads);
Entity publishes the one-tick inbox as IncomingLocks; the HUD shows one incoming indicator on the strongest
warning with the outgoing indicator's curves. Unity HUD code not compiled here; tests not yet run at this commit.

Ship.Update reads Turn and feeds the rotation thrusters and aether drives; it no longer reads the
look direction or snaps Direction toward it. Steering.Toward is the one law from heading to demand
(a heading astern now turns at full demand). HelmInput owns the face-the-aim state. Accelerate,
Combat and MoveTo write Turn through Steering.Toward. Entity.LookDirection is renamed Aim in the
simulation, the Unity readers and the tests. Unity player input follows in the next commit.

Weapon.CanMine is the one mining predicate; LockWeapon overrides it to
false. Entity.VisibleChunksInReach counts only weapons that can mine.
Tests: LaunchersDoNotCountTowardChunkReach (a launcher-only ship is offered
no rock; a gun of 200 beside a launcher of 400 is offered the near rock
only) and AnOfflineWeaponAddsNoReach (Soul F8: reach reads Active, not
Enabled).

- 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.

Deletes the Unity physics hit path (HullCollider.Hit/Splash, and the
raycast/shield/SendHit blocks in Projectile, GuidedProjectile, Laser and
Lightning) and replaces it with a single owner in the same cut: FireControl
now decides whether a shot hits, Zone owns the pending-shot lifecycle, and
Entity.DamageSchematic/ApplyHit (moved verbatim from EntityInstance) apply the
result. Presentation subscribes to Zone.ShotCommitted/ShotResolved and applies
nothing.
FireControl.HitProbability is the pure targeting solution (Accuracy * pSensor
* pSpread, gated by detection/range/lock/arc). FireControl.Fire freezes the
weapon's payload and the shooter's resolved targeting stats at the instant the
trigger is pulled (Q6), computes the predicted intercept through the one
shared PredictedIntercept function (CombatState now calls the same function
instead of duplicating first_order_intercept), and queues a PendingShot.
FireControl.Step commits each shot's outcome at ArrivalTime - CommitHorizon --
deviation from the predicted intercept, measured once, live, at that instant
-- and applies it at ArrivalTime. A shot whose flight is shorter than the
horizon commits and resolves in the same tick it fires. Rolls draw from the
shooter's own ItemManager.Random (Q5, seeded and reproducible); an out-of-arc
or otherwise gated shot draws nothing.
Player fire is arc-gated through the same predicate AI and turret fire use
(Weapon.ArcAllowsFire, checked in InstantWeapon.Trigger -- the one point every
shooter's trigger passes through), closing Q2.
Adds GameplaySettings.CommitHorizon, SchematicCellSize and
AgentMinHitProbability (first guesses; the headless suite is the tuning
harness, operator play smoke is the arbiter).
FORK reported, not worked around silently: HullCollider.SendHit/SendSplash
cannot be deleted yet without breaking ConstantLaser.cs, ConstantLightning.cs,
ConstantParticleWeapon.cs, HitscanEffect.cs and Mine.cs, which still call them
from their own live Physics queries -- that's Cut 4's migration. They fire
into the void today: nothing subscribes to Hit/Splash any more for the four
weapon kinds this cut owns.
tests/Aetheria.Shared.Tests/FireAuthorityTests.cs pins the roll's seeding, the
gate-consumes-no-draw rule, resolve-on-arrival, the commit horizon and its
evasion window, short-flight degradation, the frozen-payload snapshot, aimed
hits, the item-then-hull damage order, the planar penetration march and the
shield-absorbs branch. FireControlTests.cs and InputCapacitorTests.cs are
updated for the new AI gate and OnFire(int) signature.

Weapon.StanceAllowsFire is the one shared gate: true with no target, else the
shooter's own Entity.IsHostileTo(Target) -- not the target's stance toward the
shooter. It lives on the Weapon base class so every weapon subtype and every
caller (player input, TurretController, AI) goes through the same rule.
Wired at the two places weapons actually start dealing damage:
- InstantWeapon.Trigger (the base for InstantWeapon, AutoWeapon, ChargedWeapon
and LockWeapon/Launcher, all of which route real firing through Trigger).
- ConstantWeapon.Execute's continuous-beam loop, which stops firing (and
raises OnStopFiring) the moment the shooter's stance disallows it.
Also fixes LockWeapon's lock-building condition, which read the wrong
direction (target.IsHostileTo(shooter) instead of shooter.IsHostileTo(target))
-- the same backwards check as the HUD lock indicator, fixed alongside this in
ActionGameManager.

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.
