Launch cleared the run store before generating, and a generation or staging failure only reached the log: the
Generating Galaxy dialog stayed up, StartGame threw, and the saved run was already gone.
RunSave.Replace runs a start with the saved run still stored: when it returns a staged run the saved run's records go,
and when it returns null or throws, only the records it wrote (the arena's orbits and bodies) go. StartGame's
new-run branch is StartScenario, chosen by PendingScenario rather than by the absence of a SavedGame; it mints into an
empty ledger, and a failed start clears CurrentGalaxy (so quitting saves nothing) and refuses on the main menu with
every failure. Launch no longer clears; a galaxy that throws is refused on the title menu. The menu offers Continue
whenever no run is live, which replaces MainMenu.InGame (cut, with its prefab value and scene override), so a
failed start can resume the saved run in place.

A Scenario is an abstract C# class compiled with the game: Generate picks the galaxy through GalaxyStage (Main or
Prelude, at the scenario's seed, the background noise drawn from the same seed), Stage places the run's first
entities through ScenarioStage (Fit, Bare, Generated, Preset, Player, Place, Cargo), which collects named failures
and admits nothing. RunStart generates the galaxy, the arena under Ambient and admits everything through Zone.Admit,
all or nothing. The aetheria.scenario record, ScenarioShip, ScenarioEntity, RunStart.Check and the null-scenario
branch are cut.
New Game opens a submenu: Tutorial Galaxy and Main Galaxy, then (editor and development builds) Djinni Shakedown,
Starved Reactor, Arcs, Duel, Launcher Angles and Long Haul, each with its brief. MainMenu.Launch is the one way into a
new run; ActionGameManager.PendingScenario carries the scenario to StartGame once.

IsTutorial duplicated Galaxy.IsPrelude; its readers read CurrentGalaxy.IsPrelude, and RunSave.Capture writes
SavedGame.IsTutorial from galaxy.IsPrelude with no isTutorial argument. TutorialPassed was never written and its only
reader was New Game's unreachable main-galaxy branch, which goes with it (S2 brings the main galaxy back as a
scenario). spawnturret's two identical generator branches collapse to one. Old player.cc files still load.

PreloadAsync rethrew on the first failing hull, so one bad package faulted
Loading and no mod ship could spawn. Each hull now loads in its own try: a
failure destroys its partial visual, is logged with the hull's name, and the
rest still preload, as Compose skips a bad package. The play smoke installs the
package beside a broken sibling that composes but cannot assemble (its map icon
moved onto a meshless muzzle node) and proves the sibling has no prototype while
the good ship spawns.

- Validate: a hardpoint's anchor role is fixed by its type (thruster-emitter, radiator-mesh, else articulation); ShipModPlan's
duplicate role check is deleted.
- Loadouts.Commit refuses a preset naming a mod design (mod-hull:/mod-ship:), so the shipped catalog never references a mod.
- Compose quarantines each package: a bad package is excluded and named, a collision excludes every package involved; the
game boots on the rest (or the shipped catalog) and the main menu lists the exclusions.
- RequireDesigns refuses a save with a null item or lot instead of throwing NullReferenceException.
- Tests: per structural role, muzzle id ties, every slot/zone/lot in RequireDesigns, listing order, exclusion cases.

Boot opens the derived catalog when GameData/Mods holds packages
(ShipModCatalog.ResolveCatalog), preloads each hull's GLB into an assembled
inactive prototype (ShipModShips), and LoadEntity clones it when the hull names
a Visual. ShipModPlan decides which anchor fills which ShipInstance slot; a
ShipModTemplate prefab carries the shared effects. Continue refuses a run that
names a design the catalog no longer holds (RunSave.RequireDesigns).

MainMenu.cs wrote NoisePosition directly onto the shared authored
SectorBackgroundSettings/TutorialBackgroundSettings objects on every New
Game. Once settings are a catalog global that write lands on the cached
record. Take a MessagePack round-trip copy before searching and seeding
Galaxy; the authored object is never assigned (settings-globals-cut.md 1.4,
Cut 0).

Owner: ActionGameManager composes the process's one cache. Its CultCache
getter attaches the catalog, GameData/run.cc and GameData/player.cc on
first access, in either scene, and nothing reopens it.
- RunSave (SavedGame.cs) replaces the SavedGame constructor:
- Capture builds the live run as plain documents and writes nothing. Zone
contents are `zone.Contents?.PackZone() ?? zone.PackedContents`, so a
zone generated earlier but not loaded this session keeps its contents
and its orbit and body records instead of being erased by the next save.
- Commit is the only writer of SavedGame and SavedZone: one Commit with
zone i at `savedzone-{i}`, SavedGame.Zones set to those refs, and every
stored SavedZone outside that set removed. Orbits and bodies staged by
zone generation land in the same single-file write.
- Clear removes every run record in one Commit.
- Run begins: New Game's first statement is RunSave.Clear. Run saves:
ActionGameManager.SaveRun at wormhole arrival and quit. Run ends: Die
clears the run, then saves settings.
- Run exists only as the run store's SavedGame global: MainMenu enables
Continue from it (and logs when the run store holds records but no
SavedGame), and StartGame reads it once to pick the new-run or resume
branch.
- PlayerSettings: the getter returns the player store's global and, on
first launch, commits GetDefaultPlayerSettings; it is the only creator.
SavePlayerSettings commits the instance.
- InputDisplayLayout reads its InputLayout from the catalog by the layout
asset's name and throws when the catalog has none.
Tests: new RunSaveTests (5): RepeatedSavesKeepRecordCountConstant,
SaveRemovesZonesNoLongerInTheRun, SaveWritesOnlyTheRunStore,
ResumeThenSaveKeepsUnloadedZoneContents, ClearRemovesEveryRunRecord. Each
fails with its rule mutated out.
Builds: headless, 11 tests pass, Unity batchmode compile reports no error CS.

The deletion line lands before RunSave, as the spec orders. Deleted, not
demoted:
- PlayerSettings.SavedRun (Key 1 stays unclaimed) and the SavedGame
constructor that upserted a fresh SavedZone per zone on every save.
- ActionGameManager: the PlayerSettings.msgpack getter, file path and
writer; the .loadout format (_loadoutPath, Loadouts, SaveLoadout and its
default-options serializer, the commented loader); OnApplicationQuit and
SaveState; SaveZone, which had no caller.
- MainMenu's SavedRun Continue branch and both `SavedRun = null` writes.
- InventoryPanel's Save Loadout and Restore Loadout bodies.
- InputDisplayLayout's KeyboardLayouts file reader, ParseJson,
AssociateInputKeys, SaveLayout and the usings they alone needed.
- AetherDb's Cut 9 importer (Import.cs, legacy-census, import).
- The three-gates note on loading writes; Cut 3 made loading non-writing.
- .gitignore ignores GameData/run.cc and GameData/player.cc instead of
PlayerSettings.msgpack.
DOES NOT BUILD in Unity: ActionGameManager, MainMenu and InputDisplayLayout
still reference the deleted members until the next commit wires RunSave,
the settings getter and the catalog layout read. Headless builds.

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).

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.
