PerformanceStat kept two Dictionary<Entity, ...> fields for attached modifiers,
grown by one key per entity that ever evaluated the stat and never trimmed
(docs/stats-and-power-cut.md §0.3). StatResolver.cs is the new sole owner of
every resolved (item, stat) value and every attached modifier, one instance
per Entity and reachable only from it. EquippedItem and ConsumableItemEffect
now read and write through it instead of through the catalog object; the two
dictionaries and their four accessors are deleted outright, not hidden.
StatModifier no longer resolves its (type name, field name) reference by
runtime reflection search on every equip: StatValidation.ResolveStatField
does it once, memoized, and StatValidation.ValidateStatModifiers checks it at
catalog load and at Upsert, naming the record instead of failing with an
opaque NullReferenceException the first time something equips it. A modifier
whose own magnitude stat is (directly or transitively, through another
modifier on the same entity) one of the stats it writes is refused at equip:
resolving it would depend on a value computed from itself one tick late.
A resolved value now caches by the generation of the sources its declared
Terms actually read, invalidated per source by EquippedItem.UpdatePerformance
(Heat, Durability) and ConsumableItemEffect.Update (ConsumableProgress), so a
stat recomputes only when a term it declared moves.

f4d5659d landed with StatValidation's OptimalTemperature-bounds check replaced by
`if (false)`: the mutation harness was running concurrently against this same file
and a `git add`/`git commit` caught it mid-mutation. Restores the real check. Caught
because the harness's own "not yet reached" scars in doctrine are what prompted a
by-hand recheck of the just-committed diff rather than trusting the terminal output
that said 80/80 green a moment earlier.

StatValidation.ValidateHeatResponse now refuses NaN in any of the four heat-response
fields, a zero-span range (Minimum == Maximum -- Tractor Beam's exact bug), and a
plateau whose low or high edge pokes past its bounds, matching the R-heat ruling and
the Performance() comment that already claimed this was enforced. The writable-path
hole is closed for every path this repo owns: CultRecordRefs.Upsert (AetheriaStores.cs),
the one function every tool, test and migration script writes catalog documents
through, validates before a write reaches disk instead of waiting for the next Open().
CultCache Studio's generic editor bypasses Upsert and still has no per-document
validation hook -- that hole is CultLib's, not this repo's, and stays named in the code
rather than silently assumed closed.
EquippableItemData's four heat fields get non-degenerate defaults (0/100/50/20, the
same shape HeatResponseTests already hand-authors) because dozens of existing test
fixtures across the suite build designs that never cared about heat and defaulted into
the same zero-span trap Tractor Beam shipped with; enforcing the zero-span refusal
without this would have required touching every one of those fixtures instead of the
root cause.
Four new mutations pin S7's survivors, each with its own dedicated test rather than a
coincidentally-sensitive existing one: out-of-bounds semantics (return 1f instead of 0f
outside bounds), the plateau-clamp validation's two sides, and a Quality term ignoring
its own exponent (StatsReadTheLot's Exponent = 1 everywhere could not tell "reads the
exponent" from "always uses 1"; the new test uses Exponent = 2). Performance()'s own
runtime plateau clamp is separately confirmed dead code -- the outer bounds guard makes
it unobservable at every input, verified by an exhaustive numeric sweep -- and is
recorded as such rather than forced into a fake kill.
80 tests (9 new), 17 mutation cases in tests/mutation_tests_stats_power_cut1.py, all
green.

PerformanceStat's four fixed fields (HeatExponentMultiplier,
DurabilityExponentMultiplier, QualityExponent, FromRole) tombstone into a
declared List<StatTerm> (source + exponent + role), walked by the one
evaluation path Cut 0 unified. A stat with no terms resolves to Max (the
same identity a stat with all-zero exponents already produced), so the
migration is exact: a zero multiplier becomes no term, not a term with
exponent 0.
R-heat (operator, docs/stats-and-power-cut.md): EquippableItemData's
HeatPerformanceCurve (a BezierCurve, plus the 100-sample scan that inferred
OptimalTemperature and its cache) is retired in favor of an authored
minimum, maximum, optimum and plateau width, with linear falloff outside
the plateau. StatValidation refuses an optimum outside its bounds or a
negative plateau width, loudly, at catalog load. The plateau's consequence
rides along for free: Wear's thermal term is pow(ThermalPerformance, ...),
and Performance() now returns exactly 1 across the plateau, so a
well-managed item takes wear only from deltaTemp there -- the
operational-lifespan lever the operator asked for.
ConsumableItemEffect's progress-through-duration substitution for "heat"
becomes its own StatSource (ConsumableProgress) rather than an unconditional
override applied regardless of what a stat declares.
Tests: LoadoutTests' four PerformanceStat-shaped fixtures rebuilt against
Terms/authored heat fields; HeatResponseTests.cs (new) pins load
validation, the plateau shape, and the three wear-lever claims (held
inside takes no thermal wear, held outside does, a fast swing across still
wears) each under its own mutation in tests/mutation_tests_stats_power_cut1.py
(new, 10 rules including a no-op control; all pass).
64 pre-Cut-1 tests still pass unmodified; 71 total with the 7 new ones.
Unity batchmode: 0 error CS. ShieldPanelCut1Verify and Cut2Verify pass;
Cut3Verify fails with an unrelated pre-existing "Kernel 'KInit' not found"
compute-shader error, reproduced against Cut 0's own landing state with no
shader/compute file in this diff -- flagged for Soul, not fixed here.

ItemManager.Evaluate (unequipped), ConsumableItemEffect.Evaluate and
EquippedItem.Evaluate each hand-computed the same quality/durability/heat/
modifier arithmetic with small, undocumented disagreements (docs/stats-and-
power-cut.md Sec 0.2). Collapse the arithmetic into one function,
PerformanceStat.Evaluate(IStatContext), fed by three IStatContext
implementations: EquippedItem (the only one with heat, live durability and
modifiers), ConsumableItemEffect (progress substitutes for heat,
unconditionally, matching its prior behaviour exactly) and a new
UnequippedStatContext in ItemManager (no heat, no modifiers, by name).
No behaviour change beyond the two disagreements the cut map names as
defects. Each context's original NaN handling is preserved exactly
(unequipped throws with diagnostic detail; equipped/consumable fall back to
Min). Behavior.Evaluate(PerformanceStat) keeps its name and signature, so
the ~81 existing call sites are untouched.
Verified: dotnet test tests/Aetheria.Shared.Tests unchanged at 61/61 before
new tests are added; a real-catalog probe over GameData/Aetheria.cc found
the new unequipped path reproduces the old formula exactly across 3123
(item, quality, durability, stat) cases; Unity batchmode compiles with 0
error CS and the Cut 1/2/3 shield probes still pass; AetherDb census,
factions, dangling, station-fit, loadout 1 and hardpoint-fit are
byte-identical before and after.

Cut 2 of docs/addressables-cut.md. The asset move (git mv
Resources/{Prefabs,Schematics,Sprites/Icons} -> Content/...) and the
UnityHelpers.cs deletion already landed in 1fdf8151, picked up by a
concurrent session sharing this working tree; this commit is the rest
of Cut 2 landing on top of that shared state, atomically:
- Bump CultLib to cultlib-unity-v1.0.60 / caching-unity-v1.4.0 (both
45c2f40) in Packages/manifest.json, packages-lock.json and
Directory.Build.props, together with the 8 ServerShared
[CultInspectorAssetPath] usages becoming [CultInspectorAssetGuid] -
the .NET and Unity sides move together or nothing compiles.
- Assets/Scripts/EngineAssets.cs replaces UnityHelpers: loads an
Addressables key (bare GUID or guid[subAsset]) synchronously,
loading the GameObject and taking the component for the four sites
that load a component. ActionBarSlot, EntityInstance, ShipInstance
and ZoneRenderer call it instead of Resources.Load/UnityHelpers; the
inline "Assets/Resources/" prefix strips are gone with them.
CultCacheDrawers' schematic preview goes through
AssetDatabase.GUIDToAssetPath first.
- Assets/Scripts/Editor/EngineAssetCheck.cs validates every stored
[CultInspectorAssetGuid] value: 32 lowercase hex, resolves to a file,
is addressable, and satisfies its member's consumer-type contract
(Texture2D for icons/logos/schematics, a GameObject with the right
component for prefabs) - table-driven, so an attributed member with
no row fails loudly instead of being skipped.
- GameData/Aetheria.cc: the scratch migration (Aetheria.Shared + the
pinned CultLib revision, a throwaway console app, never landed)
walked all 138 attributed field slots across 180 documents,
rewriting the 30 non-empty Resources paths to their .meta GUIDs -
108 stayed empty, 0 unresolved, matching the map's census exactly.
Verification: dotnet test tests/Aetheria.Shared.Tests 61/61 green
against CultLib 45c2f40; Unity 6000.3.24f1 batchmode compiles clean;
EngineAssetCheck.Run passes all 30 stored references; the map's
negative greps are clean; tests/mutation_tests.py's 5 mutations (wrong
type, non-addressable, random guid, an old path, and an untabled
attributed member) are all caught and named, the control case and the
post-revert recompile stay clean, and the catalog/source are restored
byte-identical afterward.

The manufacturer does not belong to a design (operator ruling); it lives on
FactionProductData and branding is derived, never stored on the design.
- Delete ItemData.cs key 3 (Manufacturer), with a retired-key comment.
- AetherDb census now attributes a design's maker to the first product (in
record-key order) that sells it, matching ItemManager.Brand's rule; a
design no product sells shows "(none)".
- AetheriaStoresTests' catalog fixture moves its Manufacturer reference onto
a FactionProductData selling the design, and FactionIsASingletonInstance
reads it from there.
- mutation_tests.py gets a paired mutation for that fixture wiring.

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.

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.

A design lists role names; a faction product is a manufacturer's branded
build of one, carrying its name, its flavor text, and a pseudo-gaussian
quality distribution per role whose mean is the technology put in and
whose deviation is their quality control. A PerformanceStat may name the
role whose quality it reads, unset reading the item own workmanship as
before, so old saves behave unchanged. Generation selects products rather
than designs, which makes what a faction makes the availability rule.
This is Njordr shape at one dimension: role names, per-role derivation
and per-product distributions carry over when quality widens into
dimensions. No parts exist yet; the product authors the role quality.

Git keeps the history. SimpleCommodityData records its retired
MessagePack keys so they are not reused against old data.

Remove the vendored RethinkDb driver and its Linq provider, the Rethink
backing store, the already-stubbed RethinkConnection, the Rethink test
window, and the Rethink-only Remotion.Linq and Logging.Abstractions DLLs.
The database editor now works only on GameData/AetherDB.msgpack, with a
Save button replacing the dead Connect UI and broken JSON export.
RethinkTable becomes DatabaseCategory, which only groups editor entries.
Economy.Server still references Rethink; it was already unbuildable and
is handled separately.
