Q1 A, Q2 B, Q3 A. Q4: every console command stays ("never toss a
single one"), so Cut 0 is cancelled and give/spawnturret admit through
Zone.Admit in Cut 1. Self restores the smoke weapons in the operator
tree when Cut 4 lands.

Imagination pass 1 against dcd7bbc5, designed from the operator's own
words (quoted in the map). Cuts 0-4; four operator questions open
(Q1 arena in a real run, Q2 who records results, Q3 test-only designs,
Q4 which ad hoc affordances retire).

Fire-control batches 1-8 with Soul passes, verified headless (Aetheria
Shared tests). Play smoke 2026-09-30: compile clean, steps 3-6 played
(pass/partial), steps 7-20 and fire-control checks A-F unplayed. The
operator preferred to merge now; Self ruled merge, with the unplayed
checks carried as open behaviours to verify through authored main-menu
scenarios (new Eureka cut). Report: docs/merge-to-master-checklist.md

- ConsoleView appended the control characters text input delivers (\b, \r),
so Backspace inserted a glyph and Enter's \r got every command refused
since d503f076 made the parser refuse instead of strip. Control characters
are no longer text; Backspace deletes like Delete.
- give reports an unknown name or a full cargo bay. A ship hull is refused
unless docked, and when docked is commissioned through
ActionGameManager.CommissionShip, the primitive TradeMenu.Buy now uses: a
bare player ship moored at the docked entity, no docking bay. Non-ship
hulls are refused.
- Record play smoke results for steps 3-6 and the docking bay finding.

Regenerate AetheriaInput.cs from the committed Aetheria.inputactions so the
wrapper carries Cycle Target Item, and bind it through Input.Player like the
other target actions. The by-name FindAction lookup was a stopgap from when
the generator could not be run outside the editor.

One Solve decision feeds Fire, Inspect and Refuses. Literal arming distance
on every detonation path; no-lock rounds of any fuse stop at the first hull;
a round fired at a target that leaves does not burst; refusal is free,
cooldown included; AI decides per weapon and never fires a refused weapon;
the HUD shows the outcome. Soul passes 5-7; batch 8 closes their follow-ups.

After its fade a round kept integrating Velocity through the BindingLifetime wait, then a Hit (which carries
no burst point) played HitEffect at the drifted position. The wait now holds still; a hit without a point
plays the effect at the round's target position, and is skipped when the round never knew one. OnEnable resets
BindingLifetime so a pooled split child, which is never bound, does not inherit the last round's.

A released charge has a burst pending and no cooldown until its first round, so a second Activate in that
window started a second charge; Activate now asks CanFire. The round that starts a burst's cooldown does so
after the tick's decrement, which made every cooldown one tick long; it now charges that tick to the cooldown.
Pins both, and that a burst triggered after a fired one is not ready before its first round.

A burst is sized from stats the first Execute resolves, so the untouched fixture gun fired nothing.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
BurstCount is set by the first Execute, so a trigger pulled with no tick has no burst pending. The
tests now run one tick and read whether the cooldown started.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The cooldown now starts at a burst's first fired round, so Progress no longer moves at the trigger.
IffAndCombatTests read CanFire (false while a burst is pending) instead, and the charged-weapon
control uses the charge-start event name the sound bank resolves.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A burst whose every round is refused fires nothing and leaves no cooldown: the cooldown moves from
Trigger to the first round Execute does not refuse, and CanFire holds a triggered burst that has not
yet fired. ChargedWeapon.Activate asks FireControl before it starts charging, so a refused weapon pays
no charge heat or audio. InReach is deleted: Designated carries the one range test and the lock gate,
and Combat reads it. GuidedProjectile answers Resolve while alive and keeps its binding through the
shot's flight time, so a faded round still shows the simulation's detonation.

The mutation pass on the fuse fixes left one survivor: a no-lock round whose
aim ends inside the blast radius (a designated target out of arc) flew only to
its aimed point instead of the arming distance, and nothing noticed. Its arrival
is now pinned to the arming distance, beside the targeted case.

Operator ruling 2026-09-30: a no-lock round of any fuse stops at the first hull
on its aim line and detonates there (bomb fishing still bursts at max range on
a clear line). CommitBurst no longer special-cases Contact.
Soul's findings on 14f66634..7e620ff9:
- Arming (HIGH): a contact or delayed blast on a hull nearer the muzzle than the
blast radius detonated at the hull. Armed is now the one owner of the arming
rule; Solve plans its burst point through it and ApplyBlastHit pushes the hull
point through it.
- A refused beam never starts (ConstantWeapon.Activate asks Refuses), so
OnStartFiring no longer flashes visuals and audio for a beam that fires nothing.
- Step removes a shot from the queue before Apply runs damage observers, so a
throwing observer cannot make the blast repeat every tick.
- AgentFires consults Solve for a fused weapon: a refused weapon is never fired
and Combat's group pick no longer counts its damage.
- SingleAmmoBurst pays at its first unrefused round in Execute, judged with the
Range that round flies with, instead of at the trigger on the previous tick's.
- Inspect reads Designated from Solve (FireSolution.Designated) instead of
recomputing visible, in-range and locked; FireControlDiagnostic drops those
three fields and the debug HUD shows the one. Combat's group range test is
FireControl.InReach, the range half of Designated (a LockWeapon must be
activated to acquire its lock, so Combat cannot ask Designated itself).
Tests pin each rule, plus the two surviving gaps: a pushed-out targeted round's
arrival at the arming distance, and the AgentMinHitProbability boundary.

The overshoot branch of GuidedProjectile.Update (out of range, or flown past
its target) instantiated HitEffect whatever the simulation had decided. A round
the simulation never detonated could therefore explode on screen. The branch now
fades the round out; Resolve stays the one place a HitEffect is shown for a
detonation.

The trigger's own refusal check stopped a short-Range round before Execute
ever reached its refusal, so wear, heat, visibility and sound left ahead of
Execute's `continue` survived every mutation. The cost theory now also
authorises a burst directly, the way a trigger that passed leaves it, and the
separate ammo-only test folds into it.

Unity-only, compile-checked by reading.
* F5: GuidedProjectile.Binding is one owner: a new binding disposes the one it
replaces, Kill disposes it, and OnDestroy does too, so a projectile torn down
with its scene cannot leave an observer on the zone's subjects to touch a
destroyed transform.
* F6: Resolve takes whether the simulation detonated. A miss (a contact or
delayed round that missed, a target that left) fades out with no explosion.
* F7: BurstAt resets the previous target position and target velocity, so the
retarget jump does not feed the guidance a bogus target velocity.

Operator rulings 2026-09-30.
* Combat and TurretController ask FireControl.AgentFires for each weapon. A
fused weapon fires whenever its target is designated (Designated, the one
visible / in-range / locked predicate PFire already used), whatever the arc;
an agent never fires one at nothing. A direct-hit weapon keeps the
AgentMinHitProbability threshold. The group's first weapon no longer speaks
for the group, and the turret's own range test is gone.
* FireControl.Solve is the one decision about what a round does, extracted
from Fire: Direct, Burst at a reach, or Refused. Fire, Inspect and the
weapons' refusal check all read it. Inspect gains Outcome and BurstReach and
the debug HUD prints them for fused weapons.
* A refused round costs nothing. InstantWeapon asks before its ammo and energy
spend (at the trigger and at each round), ConstantWeapon folds the refusal
into the gate its power request and Execute already share, so a refused beam
draws no power, wear, heat or visibility and stops.
* The arming distance is BlastRadius, measured from the shooter's position and
blind to hull size. HullAhead's exit, ArmingDistance and
PendingShot.ArmingDistance are deleted; HullAhead survives as HullEntry for
the contact fuse. A round fired at a valid target inside the radius is pushed
out along its line but keeps its target, so a departed target cancels it.
* Step settles a shot's queue state before publishing about it, so a throwing
presentation observer costs its own notification and cannot re-commit or
re-resolve the shot on every later tick.
Tests: FireControlPerWeaponTests (new; includes a fused-beam fixture), the
arming tests in FireControlCut124Tests rewritten to the literal distance,
the hull-inclusive probe premises deleted.

- GuidedProjectileManager passed target.transform to OnFireGuided for a
no-target fused round: a NullReferenceException inside InstantWeapon.Execute
after the shot was queued, which skipped audio, wear, heat and visibility
and unwound Zone.Update. The tuple's transform is null-safe now, and the
trackmissile console command falls back to the missile.
- Presentation follows the commit rather than predicting it. The manager binds
each guided round to Zone.ShotCommitted (retarget to the burst point the
commit names, so a Contact round bursts at its hull and a Range-clamped
burst is not overshot) and ShotResolved (burst there, then). The binding is
disposed when the projectile dies, so a pooled round does not accumulate them.
- Beams and barrel-fired projectiles stay with F5.

Operator ruling 2026-09-30. A fused round's burst is at least BlastRadius
beyond the far edge of the shooter's own hull, measured along the flight line
against the hull as it stood at fire (HullAhead's exit). A close burst -- a
target inside that distance, in or out of arc -- is pushed out along the aim
and carries no target; a contact round is floored to it too.
- The F3 trigger gate is deleted. Fire refuses a round (returns 0) whose
arming distance exceeds Range, per round, where Range is read after Execute
refreshed it; InstantWeapon and ConstantWeapon skip a refused round.
- PFire's range, Inspect's range and the range clamp are planar (R7).
- HullEntryDistance becomes HullAhead (entry and exit); the max(...,0) clamp
on entry is gone, the arming floor covers it.
- ShotOutcome.HasBurstPoint names the rounds that have a frozen burst point.
- SafeAssert: the tests no longer hand xunit an Entity, PendingShot or
ShotOutcome to format; a failing assertion had been overflowing the test
host's stack.
