ZoneGenerator now spawns NeutralWandererCount ships (default 2, authored on
ZoneGenerationSettings) from a galaxy faction that is neither the zone owner
nor its nearest faction, using the zone's existing seeded Random so placement
stays deterministic per zone. None spawn when no faction qualifies. The
faction-pool rule is pulled into ZoneGenerator.EligibleWandererFactions so it
is unit-testable without running the full generation pipeline.

Closes the 8a follow-up. string.GetHashCode is stable on Mono but randomized
per process on .NET Core, so a headless sim that generates zones would get
different zones on every run.
- Extensions.StableHash folds a string's UTF-8 bytes through CultMath's pcg
from the FNV-1a offset basis. No new CultMath API.
- ZoneGenerator seeds from `Name.StableHash() ^ pcg3d(Position).x`.
- Zone seeds from `Name.StableHash() ?? 1337u`. CultMath's Random maps
seed 0 to its default, and the abs/Convert.ToUInt32 pair that threw on
int.MinValue is gone.
Old runs are discarded, so a different galaxy per seed costs nothing.
Tests: StableHashIsNotProcessRandomized pins "Adrasteia" to 2427892944, the
value an independent Add-Type transcription of CultMath's pcg produced. It
fails with GetHashCode substituted back in.
Builds: headless, 15 tests pass, Unity batchmode compile reports no error CS.

Cut 8b. Aetheria.Shared builds headless against GameCult.Caching and
GameCult.Caching.MessagePack at the pinned CultLib; the pin guard also
checks the Caching project exists.
Documents: [CultDocument("aetheria.<type>", "1")] with [MessagePackObject]
and integer [Key]s on the Q7 concrete types (the eight ItemData leaves,
Faction, FactionProductData, PersonalityAttribute, NameFile, OrbitData, the
four BodyData leaves, SavedZone, SavedGame, PlayerSettings, InputLayout).
SavedGame and PlayerSettings are [CultGlobal]; Name members are [CultName].
ItemData, CraftedItemData, EquippableItemData, BodyData and AgentTask lose
[MessagePackObject]; BodyData and AgentTask lose their [Union]s. InputLayout
moves into ServerShared so AetheriaStores can route it.
References: Guid and DatabaseLink<T> members become CultRecordRef<T>;
Guid-keyed maps become ref-keyed with [CultReference(..., many: true)];
ZonePack holds refs to orbit and body records. Runtime maps (Zone orbits,
bodies and belts, cargo ItemsOfType, agent targets) key by CultRecordKey.
Identity is the record key: ID comparisons become reference or key
comparisons. StatModifierData.RequireBehavior is a simple type name.
AetheriaStores.Open composes the catalog (read-only unless writable), run
and player stores, one home per type. CultRecordRefs carries IsSet, a
null-safe Get(ref), RefOf (key from TryGetHandle) and Upsert.
ItemManager.GetData is the one item resolution path. MathResolver is
declared by [assembly: CultCacheFormatterResolver].
Inspector attributes: text, range and asset path map onto CultLib's
CultInspector attributes (asset path only on string members); every
replaced Aetheria attribute keeps [Inspectable] for the runtime panel.
Builds: Aetheria.Shared. Does not build: AetherDb and the Unity project,
which follow.

Cut 8a seeded ZoneGenerator's Random from the float bits of CultMath's
hash(float2), the frac(sin) shader hash. On a 100x100 position grid that
gives 1625 distinct values, where Unity.Mathematics' uint hash separated
them. CultMath 0.2.3 adds the PCG integer hashes from Jarzynski and
Olano (JCGT 2020), so the seed now uses pcg3d(Position).x, the IEEE bits
of the float2 position with z held at 0, xored with the zone-name term
as before.
- Packages/manifest.json and packages-lock.json pin
cultmath-unity-v0.2.3 (CultLib 0f2c1f04).
- Directory.Build.props sets CultLibRevision to the same commit.
This pin also brings in 0.2.2's normalize: a zero vector now gives NaN,
as dxc does and as Unity.Mathematics did before the swap. None of Cut
8a's normalize or LookRotation edits relied on a zero-safe normalize.
They are one-to-one type conversions, and 8a removed no guard. So no
guard is added.
Verified: headless Aetheria.Shared and AetherDb builds with 0 errors.
AetherDb census, factions and hardpoint-fit are byte-identical to the
captures. Unity 6000.3.24f1 batchmode compile gives 0 errors.

CultMath's hash(float2) returns float, not uint, so ZoneGenerator folds its
bits into the zone seed with BitConverter.SingleToInt32Bits. MathResolver's
int2?[] entry used ArrayFormatter<float2?>; it now uses ArrayFormatter<int2?>.
Aetheria.Shared and AetherDb build headless with 0 errors, and AetherDb's
census, factions and hardpoint-fit output is byte-identical to the captures
taken before the swap.

Every Unity.Mathematics using, alias and qualified name under Assets\Scripts
and tools now names CultMath. The nine `using static ...noise;` lines are
gone: snoise lives on CultMath's math. UnityExtensions loses float4.ToColor
and Color.ToFloat4, which duplicate the bridge's ToColor and ToCultMath; the
float3 colour pair stays because the bridge has none.

One rule now governs interior space: an empty hardpoint cell is usable, in
both UnoccupiedSpace and ItemFits. ItemFits used to refuse hardpoint cells
that UnoccupiedSpace offered, so stations failed to equip a docking bay.
CraftedItemInstance.Ingredients and Product move from keys 3 and 4 to 9 and
10, past every key the derived instances use. At 3 and 4 an older save reads
nil into a non-nullable Guid and fails to load.
WeightedRandomElements returns an empty array when every weight is zero,
instead of an array of nulls. LoadoutGenerator treats a missing Galaxy as
"every product available", the seam a fixture needs to generate loadouts
without a galaxy. ZoneGenerator skips a story station that fails to generate
and logs it, instead of throwing.
Verified: Aetheria.Shared and tools/AetherDb build headless; Unity 6000.3.24f1
batchmode compile succeeds; AetherDb doctor, station-fit and loadout pass.
