MineLayerData (union 40) lays through InstantWeapon -> FireControl.Fire -> Lay;
Zone.Mines steps each mine as a KinematicBody after the entity loop, arms it,
triggers it on a hostile hull its blast disc touches (FireControl.Touches, the
coverage Detonate uses) and detonates it through FireControl.Detonate at the
fuse delay or lifetime. Hostile trigger, faction-blind blast, no owner leash.

The law ships felt (normalize(f) * strength * (1/(1-|f|^2) - 1), gated at |f|^2 .001) is
now Zone.GravityAcceleration, per second via a 60 Hz reference rate; Ship.Update applies it
times delta, so ships push as before at 60 fps. Zone.GetForce's separate law is gone and
delegates to it. Floating-body drift at 60 fps now matches the legacy GridObject magnitude.

ZonePack.BossSpawned records the spawn, since a dead boss leaves no entity. RunGoal.ExitOpen requires it, so an exit zone
without a boss stays sealed, and ZoneGenerator logs that configuration by field and code.

Mining owns belts, chunks and target picking; scenarios owns admission and run
staging; master owns ships and fire control (rule scenarios-cut.md S4).
- AetheriaStores.CatalogTypes: nine-type union, master's list plus FieldKindData, no Scenario.
- tools/AetherDb/Program.cs: both cases (ship-authoring, field-kinds), one usage string.
- Zone.cs: master's MineAsteroid dropped (mining deleted its inputs); scenarios' SettleBelts and its three calls deleted.
- RunStartTests: the two belt-task tests deleted (they read belt.Transforms and MineAsteroid).
- FireControlCut124Tests: master's strict Exact assertions; mining's CompatibleDrift allowance and its comment dropped.
- GameData/Aetheria.cc: master's pointer 70a7b0a9. This commit lacks the Asteroid field kind in the catalog, so
TheShippedCatalogHasAPickableFieldKind fails here by design; the next commit rebuilds it.
Builds: this commit builds (verified at the end with commit 2); the catalog pin test fails at this commit.

Zone.Targets (TargetingIndex) answers Within and best-first Best over
ITargetProvider regions. EntityTargets offers the observer's VisibleEntities;
BeltTargets keys each belt's rocks into kinetic bands and bounds each segment's
annular sector for distance, bearing and visibility. Entity.VisibleChunksInReach
queries the index with DetectionReachPerVisibility, an upper bound from the
sensors' hull. Zone.ChunksNear and AsteroidBelt.InnerRadius are deleted.

Soul's F5 and F6. The asteroid-belt tasks read the clock, the orbits and each
belt's damage and respawn state. Update advanced the clock before waiting on
last tick's tasks (Soul measured 242k transforms placed for the next tick in
576 of 3000 ticks), MineAsteroid wrote damage and respawn state under a
running task, CreateOrbit and AddOrbit wrote the orbits, and a task that threw
stayed in the list, so Wait rethrew it on every tick after.
SettleBelts waits for the tasks and clears the list even when one failed; Update
settles before it advances the clock, and MineAsteroid, CreateOrbit and
AddOrbit settle before they write.
Tests: over 3000 ticks every asteroid of a belt is placed for the time of the
tick that started its task; mining every asteroid of a belt, chipping and
breaking each four times a tick for 1000 ticks, never races the task; a task
that fails surfaces once and later ticks run clean.

Update cleared `_updatedOrbits` and only then waited on the previous tick's
asteroid-belt tasks, which read the cache through GetOrbitPosition. A task
still running could see the set mid-clear ("concurrent update ... corrupted its
state") or recompute an orbit into last tick's position. The wait now comes
first.
Test (Soul's orbit counter, committed): 3000 back-to-back 0.02 s ticks of a
quiet arena, and no orbit stands still against its parent. Clearing first gave
500+ stalls or the corruption exception. Measured against the parent because a
moon can genuinely pause in zone space: one such reading (tick 1321, a moon
whose motion cancels its planet's) is real motion, not the race.

- FieldKindData, a catalog document (Q11): a kind's reflectivity per schematic
cell and its generation weight. AetheriaStores routes it to the catalog.
- AsteroidBeltData.Kind, key 10 (Q16 B). FieldKinds.Assign is the one pick (a
weighted choice by a stable hash of the belt's key); FieldKinds.Ensure gives
a kindless belt its kind and saves it. ZoneGenerator calls it at generation
and Zone calls it on first load, so an old belt is assigned once by the same
rule and keeps its kind after later catalog edits.
- Zone.ChunkVisibility: Reflector's rule for a chunk -- kind cross-section x
area in schematic cells x the light on it. Stored nowhere; a worn chunk dims,
a broken one or a kindless belt's is dark.
- Zone.ChunksNear: the one chunk query, skipping belts whose annulus cannot
reach. AsteroidBelt gains InnerRadius for that skip.
- TargetRef: an entity, a chunk, or none, with value equality and no ==.

Zone.Admit(entity, piloted) adds the entity to Entities, activates it and,
when piloted, gives it the zone's Minion. It is the only writer of
Entities.Add and the only creator of agents (docs/scenarios-cut.md, 2.2).
The constructor's pack loop admits every packed ship but the player's as
piloted and keeps its own origin-scatter rule, which is generation
placement, not admission. Entity.TryUndock admits the undocked ship
unpiloted.

EntityInstance handed effect managers the shooter's selected target whatever
FireControl decided. A fused round whose target was invalid or out of arc
flies at none, and GuidedProjectileManager dropped a launcher shot with no
target entirely, so a real burst had no missile.
- Zone.TryGetShot: a presentation reads the shot the simulation committed
(its target, its burst point) by the ShotId OnFire hands it.
- EntityInstance passes the shot's own target; a launcher round with none
flies to the shot's burst point.
Unity-only; compile-checked by reading.

Zone.Wear did not check whether the chunk was already broken. A later hit
read wear.Damage starting from 0 (the value ChunkWear carries while
BrokenUntil is in the future), stayed under hitpoints, and wrote
BrokenUntil = null -- un-breaking a chunk mid-respawn.
Damage delivered to a chunk that is currently broken (zone time <
BrokenUntil) now changes nothing: Wear returns false (this hit did not
break it -- it was already broken) and BrokenUntil, and Damage, are left
untouched. The chunk stays absent until its original respawn time, then
resumes wear from zero as before.
Adds two behavioural tests: a re-hit inside the respawn window, both
below and above hitpoints, must not un-break the chunk or move its
respawn time; and the same rule survives a save/reload round trip.
Confirmed by reverting the fix and watching both new tests fail with the
chunk reappearing early, then restoring the fix byte-exactly.

MiningTool (its Execute range-checked against nothing, since no writer ever
set AsteroidBelt/Asteroid) and Zone.MineAsteroid (mints nothing; the
SimpleCommodity drop was commented out) are deleted, per Q1=A: "Bring back
the drill, indeed." Union tag 26 is retired, not reused. ResourceScanner's
dead survey Execute and its scan-target fields go too; its authored Range/
MinimumDensity/ScanDuration stay pending Q2. PlanetSettings.MiningDifficulty
had one reader, now gone.
Chunk wear (damage, broken-until) moves off AsteroidBelt's three per-belt
dictionaries and onto Zone as the one owner (Q3=A): Zone.Wear is the only
writer, ChunkExists/ChunkRadius are the readers, and respawn is a lazy
comparison against zone time, never a per-tick loop. ChunkId is
(CultRecordKey Field, int Index) -- "Field", not "Belt", because chunks are
meant to generalize past asteroid belts to other debris fields later.
Persisted in ZonePack's new key 6 (List<ChunkWearPack>, nullable so an older
record with no key 6 loads with no wear instead of throwing), pruned of
healed, non-broken entries at pack.
The break threshold stays strictly greater-than, matching today's behaviour:
damage exactly equal to hitpoints does not yet break the chunk.

Zone.Update no longer threads a per-belt Task.Run over a double-buffered
Transforms/OrbitPosition pair. AsteroidBelt.Pose/Size are the one place a
chunk pose is computed, a pure function of zone time; Zone.ChunkPose and
Zone.EvaluateBelt read them at the zone's own time. MiningTool,
ResourceScanner and ZoneRenderer (belt matrices and AsteroidBeltUI) all read
through Zone instead of the deleted per-tick buffers; the renderer owns its
own float4[] buffer, filled fresh every frame.
Deleted: System.Threading/.Tasks usings, BeltUpdates, the wait loop, the
per-belt copy+Task.Run, NearestAsteroid (dead/broken reader), the private
UpdateAsteroidTransforms, and AsteroidBelt's four pose fields plus their
allocations. ~65 lines, matching the cut map's estimate.
miningprobe, densest zone of the operator's save (EAC-2265, 809 asteroids,
8 belts), rebuilt against this cut and rerun 10x each side:
before (branch point, 8bd25f6f/e729e6d6):
Zone.Update wall 541-3654 us/tick, CPU 120-391 us/tick (7 clean runs)
3/10 runs crashed: InvalidOperationException from Zone.GetOrbitPosition,
the documented _updatedOrbits/Orbits data race between the main thread's
Clear() and a belt Task.Run
after (this commit):
Zone.Update wall 95-185 us/tick, CPU 99-152 us/tick, in line with the
31-39 us "no belt work" baseline the map recorded -- belts are free per
tick
0/10 races
ChunkPose has no buffer to go stale: ~0.12 u of parent+asteroid motion is
visible across one 17 ms tick instead of being one tick behind
tests/Aetheria.Shared.Tests/MiningCut1Tests.cs (new, 260/260 suite green):
ChunkPoseIsTheOrbitAtZoneTime, ChunkPoseDoesNotDependOnUpdateCadence,
DamagedChunkShrinksAndABrokenOneHasNoSize -- each expected value is the
closed-form orbit/size rule reimplemented in the test, never a call to
AsteroidBelt.Pose/Size.
Negative grep (Zone.cs, "Zone Display", ServerShared/Behaviors) for
Task\.Run|System\.Threading|NewTransforms|\.Transforms\b|BeltUpdates|
NearestAsteroid|\.OrbitPosition\b|NewOrbitPosition: one hit, the commented
line in MineAsteroid that Cut 2 deletes.

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.
