Both target cameras are deferred, so the AfterForwardOpaque buffer never drew. The render half of scene-stardust-uncullable now attaches-checks BeforeForwardAlpha, renders with cullingMask 1 (DrawProcedural is layer 0), and requires a near control (dust 100 below, size 5) to draw before the far probe is read, so a miss at 10000 can only be culling.
Builds: not compiled by this commit alone; verified in the Unity batchmode run reported with the cut.

cloudDensity adds the R32 gravity height to the patch texture, so Main Menu and TestScene patch cameras (mask 5632) counted layer 9 twice. Mask 5120, and GravityFieldParityVerify now asserts each of ARPG, Main Menu and TestScene excludes layer 9 from its Fog Patch Displacement camera.
All commits build as far as C# goes; verify runs after the second commit.

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.

Converted remaining .blend files to .fbx
Type check safe cast operator broken in DictionaryInspector? Wrote around it
UI Materials not blending properly - fixed by switching to Fade transparency mode
Applied nebula lit shader to "planets" and asteroids
Modified gas giant shader to accept nebula lighting and to be a bit less crappy in general
Fixed raymarching depth sampling perspective distortion
Added new clouds shader with improved raymarching loop
Currently only being used in main menu (rest is coming right up!)
Removed WWise (it's nice, but all it's doing is throwing exceptions rn since we ain't about to get a license)
Fixed towing system
Tweaked Nebula Flow (a lot)
Extracted environment appearance settings into ZoneEnvironment data structure
Stardust particles now follow global flow field

Changed the way density is mapped to luminosity in volume color sampling
Added directional lighting to clouds
Changed raymarching accumulation logic
Fixed step artifacts (reverted to simple blue noise sampling)

Added "friendly" target indicators in blue
Implemented saving/loading of custom input settings
Incorporated Input Screen in game
Organized UI scripts into folders
Deleted some unused UI scripts
Reimplemented Fog Blur (by copying modified DoF to assets)
Replaced Unity TAA with PlayDead TAA
Custom keyboard layout test scene
Adjusted Aetheric Drive VFX to be more subtle
Reworked stardust VFX to reduce flickering artifacts
Added Action Bar & weapon groups saving/loading
Implemented security levels and faction safe zone visualization
Improved station placement (now include defensive turrets)
Refactor item instance to use DatabaseLink
Labels now pop up when aiming at loot
Yeeted HUD trigger group UI into the abyss
Created rebindable action bar (missing: assigning actions)
Created Consumable Items
Refactored behaviors to work on consumable items
Implemented Velocity Conversion Behavior
Fixed: unable to undock with an aetheric drive (game requires locomotion)
Entities have a chance of dropping any item on board when killed
Mine behavior generalized to grid objects, used in dropped loot
Added tractor beam (not itemized yet) which pulls in nearby loot (and mines!)
Items are added to player inventory when they collide with the ship (and mines explode!)

Added Drive RPM UI to HUD
Fixed death not disabling continue option
Disabling global input when dialog is visible
Fixed loadout generator failure when zero price item present
Replaced fixed top speed with drag coefficients
Marking player location on galaxy map
Fixed non-input field focus disabling global key map
Player start ship is now always the same
Loadout generator now demands exact match for item dimensions
Thermal damage now triggers ItemDamaged event = player can die from cockpit wear!
Properties panel now has a much more attractive UI
Implemented curve control for properties UI
Centralized number formatting in player settings
Moved significant digits to player settings
Added temperature unit option in player settings
Ships are now more visible in lit areas (depending on cross section stat in Reflector behavior)
Refactored all behaviors to remove context & entity references (can get them from equipped item reference if needed)
Fixed crash when enemy dies of heatstroke while targeted
Exponential decay for visibility now uses correct time-independent formula
Refactored item inspection in properties panel (now consistent between equipped items vs. inventory and store items, shows effect of heat on stats)
Reordered item properties and added spacing between groups
Implemented hypothermia death, with associated postprocessing and HUD UI
Fixed heatstroke and hypothermia not triggering death events
Fixed target inventory dropdown not working in trade menu
Added ability to rename ship

Temporarily disabled wwise
Fixed infinite loop in weapon penetration code
Guided missiles now predict target position
Fixed hitscan weapons
Fixed invisible enemies bug

Added IEventBehavior interface, used by sensors and weapons, for behaviors containing event subscriptions which need to be reset when EntityInstance is disposed
Implemented sensor impact for locked weapons (lock speed varies with sensor acquisition)
Added ping cooldown bar to HUD
Added spline curve implementations to AetheriaMath, applied better mapping to wormhole transition animation
Tweaked loadout generator to prefer larger items to a controllable degree (e.g. very important for cargo bays, less for shop inventory), shop inventory bans non-ship hulls and manages internal space more effectively

Placing stations in ZoneGenerator
Moved weapons to new item type: WeaponItemData
Implemented icon sets for weapon functionality
Renamed MegaCorporation to Faction
