The operator's play smoke crashed in LockWeapon reaching EntityInfoGathered
through a raw indexer as a ship vanished. Cut 5.6 moved death removal into the
simulation and did half the transition: Zone.Entities.Remove with no Deactivate,
where TryDock has always paired the two. The dead ship kept live subscriptions
and stale references while every survivor dropped it, and because Zone.Update
iterates Entities.ToArray() it received one more Update after the world had
forgotten it. Entity.Update never consulted _active; the flag existed and
nothing asked it.
Death now removes and deactivates in one transition, and a deactivated entity
does not update. Deliberately NOT a TryGetValue in LockWeapon: that silences one
call site and leaves every other behaviour running on a corpse.
Also re-anchors the seven mutations stranded by the diagnostics refactor
(72c0109c), which routed HitProbability through Inspect and rewrote the lines
four harnesses pin -- two of them no-op controls, so those harnesses were
defending nothing. The rules are unchanged; only the text moved. Anchors stay
strict: loudly stale is what surfaced this within one run.
The heat spike, motionless ships and shots that registered no hits remain
UNEXPLAINED and open. See the map's 8.3 -- unreproducible since the diagnostics
changed timing, so recorded with the unclamped dt as the place to probe rather
than patched speculatively.
226 tests pass.

6.1 (Soul finding 6): Commit builds a local CultMath.Random from (Zone.CombatSeed,
shot.ShotId) instead of reading and writing the shared ItemManager.Random stream.
Zone exposes CombatSeed (the same expression that already seeds its own _random),
so a shot's outcome is a pure function of zone identity and shot id -- immune to
whatever else drew from the shared stream in between.
6.2 (Soul finding 5): airburst is wired into the simulation instead of back into
Projectile.cs. PendingShot gains BurstPosition/BurstRadius, frozen at Fire time
from PredictedIntercept and the weapon's authored WeaponItemData.AirburstRange
when WeaponModifiers carries Airburst. FireControl.Step resolves such a shot via
Splash instead of Apply, never both. Projectile.cs/ProjectileManager.cs drop the
dead AirburstDistance/AirburstRange fields and write-back.
Tests: FireControlCut6Tests.cs pins both rules (208 baseline + 5 new, all green).

Soul's pass over the whole campaign confirmed eleven findings. Seven were code
defects of one shape -- a rule implemented on one path and left off the path
beside it -- and this is all seven.
5.1 Tracking falls back to GameplaySettings.UnaidedTracking (new, 10) instead of
zero, and Commit drops the zero branch that turned a Tracking-less shooter
into a hard wall. Unaided fire was meant to be really, really bad; it was
334 shots and no hits against a target drifting at 5 u/s.
5.2 A shot the shield cannot absorb now breaks it. The decision is frozen into
ShotOutcome.ShieldBroken at commit and performed in Apply, so a shield that
recharges mid-flight cannot retroactively survive. Splash already did this;
the discrete roll never did, which made the whole shield-break mechanic
unreachable for every weapon in the catalog.
5.3 ConstantWeapon gates on ArcAllowsFire alongside StanceAllowsFire. A
side-mounted beam was firing forward.
5.4 The point-blank bearing case moves out of Weapon.ArcAllowsFire and into
InArc, which used to normalize the zero vector into NaN. The trigger said
fire and the probability said impossible.
5.5 A destroyed item drops out of IsRevealed's ranking, so Precision stops
concentrating hits onto a dead subsystem's footprint.
5.6 Zone subscribes Entity.Death and removes the corpse itself. That removal
lived only in Unity's loot-drop subscription, so headless nothing ever left
the zone, shots landed on corpses and no fight could end.
5.7 PendingShot drops PredictedIntercept and FlightTime, written and read
nowhere.
208 tests pass (197 plus eleven new).
Known defect, recorded rather than hidden: the committed mutation harness is
unreliable. Across two runs it failed to restore FireControl.cs and Weapon.cs,
leaving live mutations in the working tree -- including its own 5.1 mutation,
which is how a green suite briefly reported two failures. Its verdicts are
therefore evidence only where re-run from a verified-clean tree. Two anchors
(Zone.cs's ObserveAdd line, Weapon.cs's InArc return) fail to match at all, and
5.3's ConstantWeaponObeysArc survives its own mutation, so that rule is written
but not pinned. Cut 5b owns the repair; nothing here is trusted on the harness's
word, and the suite result above was taken by hand from a hash-verified tree.

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.

Closes the 8a follow-up. string.GetHashCode is stable on Mono but randomized
per process on .NET Core, so a headless sim that generates zones would get
different zones on every run.
- Extensions.StableHash folds a string's UTF-8 bytes through CultMath's pcg
from the FNV-1a offset basis. No new CultMath API.
- ZoneGenerator seeds from `Name.StableHash() ^ pcg3d(Position).x`.
- Zone seeds from `Name.StableHash() ?? 1337u`. CultMath's Random maps
seed 0 to its default, and the abs/Convert.ToUInt32 pair that threw on
int.MinValue is gone.
Old runs are discarded, so a different galaxy per seed costs nothing.
Tests: StableHashIsNotProcessRandomized pins "Adrasteia" to 2427892944, the
value an independent Add-Type transcription of CultMath's pcg produced. It
fails with GetHashCode substituted back in.
Builds: headless, 15 tests pass, Unity batchmode compile reports no error CS.

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.
