Conflicts: FusedRounds scenario brief and fixture comment, SmokeRoundsSteppedTests, and AetherDb's usage line keep both sides, with
DeathCluster renamed Cluster Cannon. GameData/Aetheria.cc is master's blob; range-falloff is rerun on it in the next commit.
This commit's catalog does not carry the falloff stats, so CatalogRole/falloff catalog tests do not pass here.

Falloff made the DeathCluster too slow at the old Fragile position (443 m, past its 308 m effective range). Fragile moves to (80, 240), 253 m on the same bearing, and the scenario test asserts it against the weapon's evaluated EffectiveRange. Inside effective range the kill takes about 2.35 s whatever the distance and a Smoke Proximity round flies 1.75 s, so the round is fired once the hull has lost half its durability; the scenario Brief says the same. Probe: lead 0 landed 1.75 / dead 2.35; lead 1.0 dead 2.35 before the round.
Builds: yes. Not run yet (verified at the final job).

Scenario Briefs (Crossing, Duel, FusedRounds, LauncherAngles, StarvedReactor, WeaponFeel), scenario and test comments and test locals say the design names (Lightning Projector, Light Laser, Cell Blaster, Guided Missile Launcher, Swarm Rocket Pod, Muon Fusion Reactor, Cluster Cannon, Charged Scatter Blaster, Rugged Drive, Racing Drive) instead of the retired brand names; Crossing.PlightRange is ProjectorRange.
generic-designs: the batch carries ExpectUnchanged so every record it does not author keeps its bytes (the plain commit re-encoded four records, dropping SensorData key 7). DesignTexts rewrites Large Drive, Tractor Beam, Smoke Proximity, Smoke Delayed, Smoke Refused and Smoke Refused Charge as tech-node text; the Tractor Beam's old line moves to its product Space Tractor. smoke-rounds' authored text names Light Laser and Charged Scatter Blaster to match.
Tests: NoScenarioBriefNamesRetiredGear, TheCapacitorDesignCarriesItsRoleMap, NoDesignTextNamesAProduct, and a command test that widens every payload and checks apply changes only the three records it authors and restores the rewritten texts.
Not built or run at this commit; GameData/Aetheria.cc is regenerated in the next commit, so NoDesignTextNamesAProduct and the command test fail here.

Scenarios, tests, AetherDb templates and name-keyed maps now resolve designs by the generic names (231 literals in 30 files);
TargetingCatalog's product texts lose the authoring note, Steadfast carries its r3 text, DragOnBreath plight's old design text.
Not built yet; tests that depend on the generic-designs command and new tests follow.

The catalog gains Smoke Proximity, Smoke Delayed, Smoke Refused, Smoke Refused Beam and Smoke Refused Charge (AetherDb smoke-rounds apply), none with a product. Seeds 108, 109 and 110 stage the demo's cast with the Smoke Test Hull; SmokeRoundsScenarioTests pins their conditions and that no smoke weapon is offered. Design and arenas land together so the census never sees an uncarried design. Not yet run: the verification job.
