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.

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).

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).
