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.

A design lists role names; a faction product is a manufacturer's branded
build of one, carrying its name, its flavor text, and a pseudo-gaussian
quality distribution per role whose mean is the technology put in and
whose deviation is their quality control. A PerformanceStat may name the
role whose quality it reads, unset reading the item own workmanship as
before, so old saves behave unchanged. Generation selects products rather
than designs, which makes what a faction makes the availability rule.
This is Njordr shape at one dimension: role names, per-role derivation
and per-product distributions carry over when quality widens into
dimensions. No parts exist yet; the product authors the role quality.

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.
