PickupTests: TheBeamTakesFromWhicheverBayCanStore is a theory over which bay is full.
CapabilityPresentationSmoke: tracked ship's hull hit is drawn; a beam above the held point stays on the ground plane; a grab at the beam keeps its aim; the other entity's grab reaches its own bound beam and not this one.
FloatingItemsDrawnSmoke: a held item's label comes up; the test scene's stand-in pose equals the zone's held pose.
Zone.HeldPull is the one smoothstep of the held pose; FieldDriver's tendril and FieldTester's stand-in call it (FieldTester.PulledPosition, PullProgress), deleting the two copies.
All commits build (Unity compile and both smokes green).

IGrabPresenter.Grab(GrabEvent) only; the binder's Transform and velocity resolvers go. TractorBeam
presents a running grab (aims at Started's TargetPosition, emits at Power, dark otherwise). FieldDriver
draws its tendril from GrabEvents alone with a real-time phase clock over each event's PhaseDuration and
writes no transform and destroys nothing; its grab times move to FieldTester, now the scene's stand-in sim
that owns its pickup's timeline and pose. ItemPickup keeps its label lit while held. ImpactPresenterSmoke
becomes CapabilityPresentationSmoke with a grab section; its two untracked-ship expectations follow
DrawsAt since contact-hud. Builds (Unity 6000.3.24f1 batchmode: smoke ok, scene opens, no missing script).

ShieldManager's fallback (no ShieldEnvelope yet, e.g. every ship prefab
before the operator hand-rigs it per Q5) hard-failed to a fixed
Vector3.forward direction with a per-hit Debug.LogError. That silently
changed behaviour for every ship in the game until the operator edits
Longinus.prefab/Djinni.prefab on their own schedule -- worse than either
the deleted code or a loud one-time failure.
Extract ShieldEnvelope's local-direction primitive into two static,
no-component-required entry points -- SurfaceDirection(Transform, Vector3)
and LegacyLocalSurfacePoint(Transform, Vector3) -- so both FieldDriver's and
ShieldManager's fallbacks go through one owner instead of each re-deriving
the pre-Cut-2 formula by hand. ShieldManager's fallback now reproduces the
deleted normalize(shield.transform.InverseTransformPoint(point)) formula
exactly via the shared static, logging once (a warning, not a per-hit
error). FieldDriver's fallback is rewired onto the same static rather than
its own inline copy of the maths.
Documented, not silently assumed: FieldDriver's "envelope present" branch
(envelope.ProjectToSurface, world-space) and its fallback (the legacy local-
space formula) are only numerically identical when the carrier's transform
has zero position and identity rotation -- true of the one FieldDriver
carrier in the tree today, not true in general. This is a characteristic of
Cut 2 as scoped by the map (FieldDriver.cs:125 reads envelope.ProjectToSurface
directly, per the map's own text), not something this fix introduces or
resolves; flagged so nobody assumes the two branches are interchangeable for
a future non-origin, non-identity FieldDriver carrier.
ShieldPanelCut2Verify.CheckLegacyFallbackFormulas pins both static entry
points against an independent re-derivation of the exact pre-Cut-2 formulas,
on a carrier with a non-trivial transform (nonzero position, non-identity
rotation) so the check isn't vacuous. mutation_tests_shield_panel_cut2.py
gained two cases: SurfaceDirection collapsing back to a fixed Vector3.forward
(the exact regression fixed here), and LegacyLocalSurfacePoint collapsing to
the raw, untransformed world point -- both correctly fail the probe.

FieldDriver derived the shield ellipsoid from its own transform.localScale;
ShieldManager derived it independently from the Shield prefab instance's
transform, doing the same normalise-and-project by hand against a different
object. Add ShieldEnvelope as the one reader of a transform's centre, radii,
surface projection, and true outward normal (derived, not authored, per R6 --
no second copy of numbers the physical MeshCollider already owns), and switch
both consumers onto it, deleting their hand-rolled projections.
Radii read the attached collider mesh's own bounds.extents per axis rather
than assuming a flat 0.5 or 1.0: Shield.prefab's Icosphere collider measures
(0.0095106, 0.01, 0.01), not a uniform round number, and the cubesphere's
collider measures exactly (1,1,1) -- confirmed by a throwaway batchmode probe
against the actual mesh assets, not guessed.
SurfaceNormal is not normalize(p): a non-uniform ellipsoid's true normal is
the gradient of the implicit surface, transformed by rotation and the INVERSE
of lossyScale (a normal is a covector). The first implementation used
TransformDirection (rotation and forward scale) and the batchmode probe's
finite-difference gradient check caught it immediately -- exactly the
plausible-looking-wrong-answer failure mode the cut map called out by name.
Both original consumers keep normalize(p)-equivalent behaviour via the new
SurfaceDirection method, since they only ever wanted a direction.
FieldDriver falls back to its pre-cut formulas (logged once) when no
ShieldEnvelope is present, since it has no guaranteed carrier yet.
ShieldManager does not: every object that carries it gets an envelope in this
cut, so a missing one logs an error and degrades to a fixed direction rather
than recomputing a second projection.
No prefab or scene file is touched here (Q5: the operator rigs prefabs and
scenes by hand); ShieldPanelCut2Verify's batchmode probe instead builds
synthetic transforms carrying Longinus's and Djinni's actual override values
plus the real Icosphere mesh, and proves ProjectToSurface lands exactly on the
ellipsoid and SurfaceNormal matches a finite-difference gradient to 1e-3.
mutation_tests_shield_panel_cut2.py mutates SurfaceNormal three ways (back to
normalize(p), back to TransformDirection, and a flattened 0.5 extents factor)
and confirms the probe goes red for each, naming the reason.

FieldDriver now implements IAbsorbPresenter/IGrabPresenter/IMeleePresenter/
IThrustPresenter by delegating to its existing AddHit/GrabObject/Melee/Push
fields; it still decides nothing about capability rules, only how they render
(fork L, docs/headless-playground-cut.md). Its own click-to-hit wiring moves
out to whatever publishes AbsorbEvent (the test scene, next commit) since a
presenter should not be sourcing its own capability events.
The private nested GrabPhase enum is renamed to TendrilPhase so it doesn't
collide with the new global GrabPhase in CapabilityEvents.cs; this is the only
behavior-preserving rename, tendril timing is unchanged.

Cut 8b. The Unity project compiles with 0 errors in 6000.3.24f1 batchmode.
Packages: manifest.json pins org.gamecult.cultlib at cultlib-unity-v1.0.57
and org.gamecult.caching.unity at caching-unity-v1.2.0, next to the 8a
CultMath tag. Aetheria.Shared.Unity references GameCult.CultLib and keeps
noEngineReferences.
The Database Tools (Assets/Scripts/CultCache/Editor) are deleted in this
commit, alongside their five ported drawers in
Assets/Scripts/Editor/CultCacheDrawers.cs, each an
[CultInspectorDrawer] ICultInspectorDrawer:
- InspectableType: popup of the attribute type's [Union] member names,
writing the string.
- InspectableColor: float3 and float4 through ColorField.
- InspectableAnimationCurve: float4[] and BezierCurve through CurveField.
- InspectableTemperature: Kelvin, Celsius and Fahrenheit fields over one
value.
- InspectableSchematicShape: size and cell toggles. The old drawer also
drew the item's schematic texture and tinted hull hardpoints, which need
the parent document. The tagged Studio hands a drawer only the value, so
those wait on the Studio exposing the open record.
Unity call sites:
- ActionGameManager opens the catalog through AetheriaStores; Cut 10 adds
the run and player stores.
- Refs resolve through ItemManager.GetData or Get(ref); orbit, planet and
belt maps key by CultRecordKey; identity is compared by reference or key.
- The PlayerSettings.msgpack reader and writer, which Cut 10 deletes, pass
CultDocumentMessagePackSerialization.OptionsFor, since the embedded run
reaches CultMath values and refs. Keyboard layouts need no resolver and
keep MessagePack's defaults until Cut 10.
- The input map uses the nested action to binding shape.
- PropertiesPanel reads CultInspectorRangeAttribute.
- NameTools loses its legacy name-file writer.
- Slime compares serialized settings instead of the deleted SHA1 helper.
- FieldDriver drops InspectorHeader.
- .gitignore covers the test project's build output.
Builds: Aetheria.Shared, AetherDb, Aetheria.Shared.Tests (6/6), Unity
batchmode (0 errors).

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.

CultMath has no implicit conversions to or from Vector*, Quaternion or
Color, so Assembly-CSharp converts explicitly with ToCultMath/ToUnity at
each engine boundary: FieldDriver, GuidedProjectile(Manager),
EntityInstance, ActionGameManager, HullCollider, GridObject, ShipInstance,
ShieldManager, ItemPickup, FieldTester, PlaceUIElementWorldspace,
MapMenuInput, MapRenderer, SectorRenderer and ZoneRenderer. CultMath math
calls that were handed Unity vectors now take converted values;
Vector3.Scale in FieldDriver becomes a float3 product, and ItemPickup's
Vector3.Dot on float3s becomes dot. packages-lock.json records the
cultmath git package at f0605367 and demotes com.unity.mathematics to a
transitive dependency.

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.
