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.

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
drawn time; the rail law lives once in Zone.Offset; OrbitPositionAt, GetHeight,
ChunkPose, EvaluateBelt and RideHeight take a time. Fixes the planet jumping
against a co-moving ship at display rates above the step rate.
Not yet built or run (Unity presenter files are verified by compile only on
Starfire).

core-at-roche-and-exaggeration-up: PlanetSettings.CoreRadius and Planet.CoreRadius are
deleted; the well's softened core reads the RocheLimit curve (one curve of mass). The
core < Roche guard cannot fail and is replaced by a Roche-limit-positive-and-finite
check. Settings.asset: CoreRadius removed, HeightExaggeration 10 -> 4.0983607
(10 / (7.32 / 3)). Tests pin the new curves and the peak drawn slope / 2.44x steeper tail.

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
keys). Surface Displacement culls layer 9 only. Headless build and tests not yet run at this commit.
