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.

Tools need interior hull cells (the shrunk shape); (0,4) is an edge cell. The 2x1 array
turned clockwise takes the free interior column beside the cockpit.

Duel, Arcs, Launcher Angles and Starved Reactor fit and place the Longinus
(thrusters, Core Power or MoveOnPro at (2,4), radiators relaid); the modes start
a Longinus (Settings.asset StartingHullName; the Aether multipliers leave it).
The drive's tests, its Steering Axis probe and its Brownout fixtures go with their
subject; ship_cc.py and the live-game checklist drop the drive and the hull.
The drive itself and the catalog records are deleted in the following commits.

A Scenario is an abstract C# class compiled with the game: Generate picks the galaxy through GalaxyStage (Main or
Prelude, at the scenario's seed, the background noise drawn from the same seed), Stage places the run's first
entities through ScenarioStage (Fit, Bare, Generated, Preset, Player, Place, Cargo), which collects named failures
and admits nothing. RunStart generates the galaxy, the arena under Ambient and admits everything through Zone.Admit,
all or nothing. The aetheria.scenario record, ScenarioShip, ScenarioEntity, RunStart.Check and the null-scenario
branch are cut.
New Game opens a submenu: Tutorial Galaxy and Main Galaxy, then (editor and development builds) Djinni Shakedown,
Starved Reactor, Arcs, Duel, Launcher Angles and Long Haul, each with its brief. MainMenu.Launch is the one way into a
new run; ActionGameManager.PendingScenario carries the scenario to StartGame once.
