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.

LoadoutGenerator.FillInterior equips a targeting-system product,
required: true, on any entity EquipHardpoints already gave a weapon --
Q4's "not an upgrade" ruling made structural. CombatState now selects
the target's most dangerous revealed weapon item each tick through the
same IsRevealed predicate and TrySelectTargetItem writer the player path
uses, instead of never touching TargetItem at all.

Entity.HardpointTransforms was written only by Unity (EntityInstance.cs),
so the simulation's notion of where a gun points was a readback from a
renderer that never runs headless -- Combat.cs threw KeyNotFoundException
on the first combat tick outside Unity. Deletes the field, its writer, and
the readback branch in Behavior.Direction, leaving the item-rotation path
(the same convention reaction thrusters use, R6) as the only source of
mount direction.
Adds FireControl (ServerShared), a static class owning whether a weapon
bears on a point: MountDirection (planar, from ItemRotation), ArcFor (the
per-hardpoint HardpointData.FiringArc override, falling back to the new
GameplaySettings.FiringArc default of 120), and InArc (the planar dot-cone
test, R7 -- target height never enters it, and an arc of 360+ passes
unconditionally so a turret hardpoint needs no new type, just a number).
Combat.cs and TurretController.cs now gate AI fire through InArc instead
of the old hardcoded 0.99 dot-product test against a live Unity transform.
Settings.cs drops AgentFiringMinDot, which was declared and read by
nothing.

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.

AetheriaMath predates the CultMath swap and re-implemented helpers CultMath
now owns. Callers use CultMath directly: decay (Ship, AetherDrive, Entity),
damp (VelocityConversion, FieldTester, FieldDriver), first_order_intercept
(TurretController, Combat, GuidedProjectile), quadratic_bezier (FieldDriver)
and smootherstep (Ship). Parameter order matches in every case, and those
formulas have the same float evaluation order, so behaviour is unchanged.
Galaxy's commented-out segment check names distance_to_segment.
The other overloads had no callers and are dropped without a CultMath
counterpart being needed: the double Damp overloads, FindDistanceToSegment,
GetCatmullRomPosition, GetCubicSplinePosition, Smoothstep(x), and the
Deg2Rad/Rad2Deg constants.
AetherDb census, factions and hardpoint-fit are byte-identical to the
pre-cut captures.

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.

Delete Economy.Server/Economy.Shared, LiteNetLib, network message types,
the texture-based Gravity duplicate, unreferenced scripts and agent
states, and unused plugins (MSAGL, NaughtyAttributes, AsyncAwaitUtil,
Allegorithmic, Localization samples, MrtTest, ThinkGear, QuickGraph),
plus vendored sample scenes, root zips/logs, and the stray Obsidian
folder. MainMenu logs faulted galaxy-generation tasks directly instead of
AsyncAwaitUtil's WrapErrors. Stop tracking UserSettings and the Wwise
.backup folder; ignore generated .sln/.csproj by pattern.
Game-system test scenes are kept. Playdead stays: VolumeCloudRenderer
derives from its EffectBase.
