The unseeded Random.Range prune leaves ZoneRenderer: the kept set is a function of the candidates, the kept count and the belt key.

Replaces RockMeshing/AssignRockMeshes and the renderer's slot bucketing (findings scale-lookup-unpinned,
renderer-index-wiring-unpinned). The build gate message names the mesh and the field, not the radii.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
DrawAhead.AssignRockMeshes ranks rocks by unworn size onto meshes in ascending radius; RockScale divides the
gameplay radius by the mesh's measured radius; ChunkAt is the one rock position for the renderer and the reticle
(ChunkHeight folded into it). InstancedMesh.Radius is filled and verified by RockMeshRadius. Tests pin the
assignment, the scale and that the renderer and reticle call DrawAhead (finding owner-not-pinned).

DrawAhead.Chunk/ChunkHeight (ruling asteroids-on-floater-layer); ZoneRenderer and the

Ruling minimap-asteroids-setting-deleted. PlayerGraphicsSettings key 1 stays

The setting gates belts on the minimap again, through MapPresenter.BeltsOnMinimap; the map screen always draws them.

One zone node at the massive roots' centre of mass owns the only global term (SubzoneReach is the one place the subzone shape is decided: isolated-subzones). WellNode gains Extent and Anchor; a belt orbit's extent is its outermost asteroid. GravityField.SeriesFrom = 0.4 is emitted into the shader template and Gravity.cginc. Tests: the spec's WellLawTests; the old seam test is replaced by TheBandPotentialIsExactInSinglePrecision. GravityFieldParityVerify runs the multi-root fixture (second sun, moon inside the planet's Roche limit, far window): PASS, largest drawn tau 1.228, max error 0.01028 u. The dotnet suite has not been run at this commit.

GravityField is now the band term U(eps, inner, outer) (C4 smoothstep fade, closed form and a series for tau > 1).
WellTree is built once per Zone from the orbit tree: node terms, reach, support, the pruned Force/Potential walk and
PullAround (rails). Zone.GetHeight/GetForce/PeriodAround delegate to it; WellReference, _wellOn, _strengths,
Strength() and DrawAhead.Well are gone; GravityLowering and the shader template take the flat term list;
HeightExaggeration halves to 2.0491803.
Does not pass yet: Gravity.cginc is not regenerated and PotentialOwnerTests/OrbitsFromFieldTests still spell the old law.

Fog Tint is B10G11R11_UFloatPack32. A quad sized to 1e-5 of the centre drew a plateau near 3.2e-5 from 1.75 to 2.1 P and
then zero: a step in the tail the RFloat verify could not see. AmbientFloor is now 2^-15 absolute and the quad ends where
the brightest channel reaches it (1.78 P), so the one step to dark is the format's last value, at most 1.5 floors. The
verify builds its target from the production render texture's descriptor, asserts the format, holds the profile to the
gaussian within the format's 2^-5 step where it is at least 8 floors, and bounds the rim and the step to dark by 2^-14.
Builds; AmbientEdgeVerify passes on Starfire.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Ambient Fog Light leaves Zone Brushes (root object, same pose) and Sector Tint.mat moves from
PowerBrush to Brushes/Ambient Brush: brightness falls as exp(-x^2 ln(1/_EdgeBrightness)), x in
units of Zone.PopulatedRadius. ZoneRenderer.FitAmbientLight, called by LoadZone, is the one
writer of the quad's size and _Reach (the radius where it is 1e-5 of the centre). AmbientEdgeVerify
renders the real scene object through that call. Builds in Unity 6000.3.24f1.

GameplaySettings carries ShipLayerHeight 3, OrbitalLayerHeight 15, FloaterLayerHeight 0 (authored in Settings.asset).
Entity.LayerHeight (Ship, OrbitalEntity) is the one offset RideHeight adds; DrawAhead.FloaterHeight is the floater
height ItemPickup and MineInstance draw at. HullData.GridOffset (Key 26) and the pickup/mine/prefab GridOffset fields
are gone with every reader. Fixtures (DrawnPose, FireControl*, ImpactFeedback) take heights from the layer owner;
LayerTests pin each kind's layer. FloatingItemsDrawnSmoke follows. ItemPickup/MineInstance.Bind take the settings from
ZoneRenderer. Builds as one commit with its tests; not compile-verified until the cut's head run.

HUD target, lock, incoming-lock, bearing and sweep markers anchor on DrawAhead.Position / AtBearing at Clock.Lead.
GravityLowering's record fill is DrawAhead.Well (pure, pinned at non-zero lead). Rounds take DrawAhead.Time
instead of float Zone.Time + lead. Sensor ping, shield hit, compass icons, wormhole bearing, loot ViewOrigin and
the guided-projectile aim read the drawn pose. Not built in Unity yet.

Planets, belts, wells, loot, mines, stations, the chunk reticle and the flow
clock are evaluated through DrawAhead (Time, Orbit, Height, Position) at one

Zone.WellReference owns each body's reference zero (GetHeight uses it). Gravity.cginc mirrors GravityField.Potential;
Brushes/Gravity Field draws depth = -h on layer 9 from a StructuredBuffer that GravityLowering.Lower fills from the
zone each frame; GravityLowering.CreateField makes the one quad. GravityFieldParityVerify renders it and compares every
texel with -Zone.GetHeight (max error 0.0059 u), the gradient with GetForce (0.03 degrees) and the wiring.
Deleted: the Gravity Well children of Planet, Gas Giant, Sun and PlanetOutpost prefabs, Wormhole 1's three gravity
children, their overrides in Main Menu and TestScene, five wormhole/wave materials and two brush shaders,
Planet.GravityWellDepth/Radius, BodyData keys 6-7, PlanetSettings.GravityDepth/GravityRadius (and the Settings.asset

GetHeight sums body wells only. Removes RadialWaves, GasGiant wave fields,
GasGiantData keys 14-17, PlanetSettings Zone*/Wave* fields, the minimap

VolumeSampling created its flow keywords in static field initializers, which a scene runs inside a MonoBehaviour
construction where Unity refuses GlobalKeyword.Create; they are now created lazily from LowerFlow. FlowField.Scroll and
Cycle return phases strictly below 1. The nebula noise reads _NebulaNoiseTime (zone time) instead of _Time.y. New
FlowFieldTests pin the per-octave fold to the unfolded law across wraps, the cycle at days of zone time, and the phase edge.
The Unity checks for these are in the next commit; this one builds, its parity check does not yet read the noise clock.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- VolumeSampling registers FLOW_GLOBAL / FLOW_SLOPE with GlobalKeyword.Create (the constructor only looks up).
- FlowField.Scroll folds each Tri3D octave's phase modulo 1 in double (float2, [0,1)); Zone.Flow evaluates at Zone.FlowScroll.
- FlowField.Cycle: the nebula's flow cycle and Stardust's particle lifetime phase come from zone time (_FlowCycle, phase uniform), not _Time.y / Time.time.
- FlowFieldParityVerify reaches the keyword-gated flow(), fails on logged errors, tolerance 3e-4; mutants updated.
Not built or run when committed.

FlowField (ServerShared) is the flow law; Zone.Flow/FlowScroll read PlanetSettings.Flow at zone
time. The Flow block moves from DefaultEnvironment to PlanetSettings (ZoneEnvironment key 1 is
retired), VolumeSampling's frame-clock scroll accumulator and the Stardust leftover field are
deleted, and slopeFlow returns 0 for a zero gradient. Unity parity probe follows in the next
commit; this commit has not been built in Unity.

Selection is nothing the selected ship can sense: TargetedBy, TargetedByCount, their subscriptions and the music
read of them are deleted. Indicator fills, the target panel, the compass, music and the enemy schematic rows now
read CurrentEntity's ContactOf / RevealsOf / RevealedSubjects (new, the book's keys); the schematic rows are built
by one builder from the book and rebuilt when the revealed set changes. Impact hull effect and projectile hit
effects at another ship's position draw only through ActionGameManager.DrawsAt (the player's own ship or a Tracked
contact). Builds untested in Unity at this commit; tests NothingReadsSelection and RevealedSubjectsListsTheBook.

ZoneRenderer draws one ItemPickup per FloatingItem (load, ObserveAdd, ObserveRemove, ClearZone); ItemPickup.Bind places it
from the sim body and spins it for show. EntityInstance's drop loops, ShieldManager's pickup branch (the whole
OnCollisionEnter, which did nothing else), ZoneRenderer.DropItem/DestroyLoot/_loot, TractorBeam's pull, and
GameSettings' three loot fields are deleted; WireFloatingItems stripped GridObject from the five pickup prefabs and
reassigned ZoneRenderer's four pickup fields in ARPG.unity; FloatingItemsDrawnSmoke (play session, batchmode) pins the
lowering. GridObject and TimedDestroy were deleted in fa911f2d, so fa911f2d and 2565e2c5 do not build in Unity.
Assets/Resources/Settings.asset keeps three stale serialized GameSettings fields Unity ignores (LFS object, not rewritten).

ZoneRenderer loads and subscribes Zone.Clouds like mines and destroys a bank on removal; VapourCloudInstance

Every item-title display site now routes through ItemManager.Title. The grep

MineInstance reads a Mine and draws it (latest sim body at the grid height, spin, real-time pulse by arming and
trigger); ZoneRenderer makes one per Zone.Mines add and plays the blast on remove; EntityInstance gives a mine
layer no effect manager. AetherDb mine-launcher authors the item; the catalog, prefab and scene wiring follow in
later commits, so this one does not build a playable mine (no MinePrefab yet).

Ship.Update reads Turn and feeds the rotation thrusters and aether drives; it no longer reads the
look direction or snaps Direction toward it. Steering.Toward is the one law from heading to demand
(a heading astern now turns at full demand). HelmInput owns the face-the-aim state. Accelerate,
Combat and MoveTo write Turn through Steering.Toward. Entity.LookDirection is renamed Aim in the
simulation, the Unity readers and the tests. Unity player input follows in the next commit.

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.

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).

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.

Cut 2 of docs/addressables-cut.md. The asset move (git mv
Resources/{Prefabs,Schematics,Sprites/Icons} -> Content/...) and the
UnityHelpers.cs deletion already landed in 1fdf8151, picked up by a
concurrent session sharing this working tree; this commit is the rest
of Cut 2 landing on top of that shared state, atomically:
- Bump CultLib to cultlib-unity-v1.0.60 / caching-unity-v1.4.0 (both
45c2f40) in Packages/manifest.json, packages-lock.json and
Directory.Build.props, together with the 8 ServerShared
[CultInspectorAssetPath] usages becoming [CultInspectorAssetGuid] -
the .NET and Unity sides move together or nothing compiles.
- Assets/Scripts/EngineAssets.cs replaces UnityHelpers: loads an
Addressables key (bare GUID or guid[subAsset]) synchronously,
loading the GameObject and taking the component for the four sites
that load a component. ActionBarSlot, EntityInstance, ShipInstance
and ZoneRenderer call it instead of Resources.Load/UnityHelpers; the
inline "Assets/Resources/" prefix strips are gone with them.
CultCacheDrawers' schematic preview goes through
AssetDatabase.GUIDToAssetPath first.
- Assets/Scripts/Editor/EngineAssetCheck.cs validates every stored
[CultInspectorAssetGuid] value: 32 lowercase hex, resolves to a file,
is addressable, and satisfies its member's consumer-type contract
(Texture2D for icons/logos/schematics, a GameObject with the right
component for prefabs) - table-driven, so an attributed member with
no row fails loudly instead of being skipped.
- GameData/Aetheria.cc: the scratch migration (Aetheria.Shared + the
pinned CultLib revision, a throwaway console app, never landed)
walked all 138 attributed field slots across 180 documents,
rewriting the 30 non-empty Resources paths to their .meta GUIDs -
108 stayed empty, 0 unresolved, matching the map's census exactly.
Verification: dotnet test tests/Aetheria.Shared.Tests 61/61 green
against CultLib 45c2f40; Unity 6000.3.24f1 batchmode compiles clean;
EngineAssetCheck.Run passes all 30 stored references; the map's
negative greps are clean; tests/mutation_tests.py's 5 mutations (wrong
type, non-addressable, random guid, an old path, and an untabled
attributed member) are all caught and named, the control case and the
post-revert recompile stay clean, and the catalog/source are restored
byte-identical afterward.

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).

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.
