A power request may not depend on power supply (Cut 6/F6), and continuous
consumers brown out through a power term on their own performance stats
(Cut 7). For Radiator (PumpedHeat) and AetherDrive (Torque) those were the
same stat, making six shipped catalog records illegal and leaving six
BrownoutTests cases skipped.
Resolved per the operator's ruling: a power request is evaluated
nominally -- what the item wants at full supply, not what it is currently
managing. EquippedItem.EvaluateNominalPower (mirroring ConditionRatio's
own NominalContext) pins only PowerSupplyFactor to 1; Heat/Durability
stay live, since they are not the term a request would be circular
through. Every PowerRequest/RefreshReserve/RefreshInputCapacitor
implementation now reads a StatValidation.PowerRequestFields stat through
it, so the same stat can carry a brownout curve and be a request field
without the request depending on its own answer.
StatValidation.ValidateNoPowerSupplyOnRequest (F6's static half of the
rule, forbidding the term outright) is deleted -- nominal evaluation
removes the circularity at the root instead. Only the dynamic
modifier-chain half (StatModifier.ValidateNoPowerSupplyChain) still
refuses anything, since EvaluateNominalPower forwards ScaleModifier/
ConstantModifier unchanged (real, not nominal).
Un-skips BrownoutTests' six Radiator/AetherDrive cases and adds two new
regression tests (a direct EvaluateNominalPower probe, and a two-tick
Radiator demand check) backed by a new mutation harness. Updates the four
PowerCurveTests/AetheriaStoresTests cases that pinned the now-superseded
static refusal to instead assert acceptance. GameData/Aetheria.cc is
unchanged and still validates.

docs/stats-and-power-cut.md Cut 6, purely additive per its own map: the enum member, the
resolver's generation-cache and the bus's PowerSupply write already existed (Cuts 2/3/5)
as an identity everywhere. This lands the two things Cut 6 actually adds.
The curve: EquippedItem.PowerSupplyFactor now returns pow(PowerSupply, exponent) instead
of the Cut-3 identity stub, so a stat that declares a PowerSupply term degrades as this
tick's grant falls and reads unchanged at full supply (pow(1, n) == 1 regardless of n).
PowerBus.AllocateTiers now invalidates StatSource.PowerSupply once per draw per tick -- the
missing half of the wiring named in the cut map -- so the resolver actually recomputes when
the grant moves, using the same per-source generation scheme Heat/Durability already use
(unconditional, at most once per tick, never touching a stat that did not declare the
source).
The request-independence rule: a stat that decides a power request may not depend on power
supply, directly or through a modifier chain. Direct dependency is checked statically
(StatValidation.ValidateNoPowerSupplyOnRequest, ItemData.cs) against a fixed registry of
(BehaviorData type, field) pairs -- the one PerformanceStat each IPowerConsumer's own
PowerRequest evaluates as its request, a compile-time fact rather than something authored
per instance -- and runs at catalog load (AetheriaStores.Open), at Upsert, and again at
equip (EquippedItem's constructor) as defense against the two named bypasses that write a
catalog document without going through Upsert. The modifier-chain half is dynamic
(StatModifier.ValidateNoPowerSupplyChain): a modifier's own magnitude stat is walked
through the same magnitude->target edges ValidateNoCycle already builds for the self-cycle
check, and refused at Initialize (equip time) if it is power-tainted and targets a known
request stat, naming both items.

StatModifier.Initialize recomputed _targets fresh every (re)activation but
never reset _applied, so after deactivate -> unequip the target -> equip a
replacement -> activate, Update saw `_executed && _applied` (both still true
from the stale attachment) and neither branch of its latch fired again --
the modifier silently stopped reaching anything. Differential evidence: the
same scenario resolved 6 pre-cut and 1 at Cut 2's HEAD.
Chose the ownership fix over the one-line flag reset: Initialize is the
entity's own re-activation hook, called exactly once per (re)activation for
every StatModifier on it, so it is the one place that already knows a
transition is happening. Detaching whatever this modifier was attached to
before recomputing _targets removes the split authority between Initialize
(which decides targets) and Update (which was silently also deciding
attachment state) instead of leaving Update to infer a transition it was
never told about.
F8: Behaviors.cs's `StatOwner` property had no production caller -- it was
added only to make one mutation test's mutant expressible. Deleted; the
mutation test now uses `Entity` (a real symbol) as its wrong-owner stand-in.

PerformanceStat kept two Dictionary<Entity, ...> fields for attached modifiers,
grown by one key per entity that ever evaluated the stat and never trimmed
(docs/stats-and-power-cut.md §0.3). StatResolver.cs is the new sole owner of
every resolved (item, stat) value and every attached modifier, one instance
per Entity and reachable only from it. EquippedItem and ConsumableItemEffect
now read and write through it instead of through the catalog object; the two
dictionaries and their four accessors are deleted outright, not hidden.
StatModifier no longer resolves its (type name, field name) reference by
runtime reflection search on every equip: StatValidation.ResolveStatField
does it once, memoized, and StatValidation.ValidateStatModifiers checks it at
catalog load and at Upsert, naming the record instead of failing with an
opaque NullReferenceException the first time something equips it. A modifier
whose own magnitude stat is (directly or transitively, through another
modifier on the same entity) one of the stats it writes is refused at equip:
resolving it would depend on a value computed from itself one tick late.
A resolved value now caches by the generation of the sources its declared
Terms actually read, invalidated per source by EquippedItem.UpdatePerformance
(Heat, Durability) and ConsumableItemEffect.Update (ConsumableProgress), so a
stat recomputes only when a term it declared moves.

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.
