4708a71a67 contact-hud: the HUD reads the player's own ContactOf and book; TargetedBy and the spotted blink go
Selection is nothing the selected ship can sense: TargetedBy, TargetedByCount, their subscriptions and the music
read of them are deleted. Indicator fills, the target panel, the compass, music and the enemy schematic rows now
read CurrentEntity's ContactOf / RevealsOf / RevealedSubjects (new, the book's keys); the schematic rows are built
by one builder from the book and rebuilt when the revealed set changes. Impact hull effect and projectile hit
effects at another ship's position draw only through ActionGameManager.DrawsAt (the player's own ship or a Tracked
contact). Builds untested in Unity at this commit; tests NothingReadsSelection and RevealedSubjectsListsTheBook.

97d94ecfae Present landed impacts: shield ripple, hull reaction and camera kick through one ImpactPresenter
ImpactPresenter (bound on every EntityInstance by SetEntity through the one CapabilityPresentationBinder) renders
feedback-1's absorbs: Feedback.Cue decides intensity and shake, DrawAhead.Carried the drawn point; a hull absorb
spawns ImpactFeedback's pooled effect under the instance, and a cue with shake raises a Cinemachine impulse.
ShieldManager ripples on a Shield-layer absorb. MainMenu gains a Screen Shake slider that persists on Back.
Editor: WireImpactFeedback (scene wiring, scene diff in the next commit) and ImpactPresenterSmoke.
Unity batchmode compile 0 error CS; ImpactPresenterSmoke exit 0. The scene is not yet wired in this commit.

c47ced9cfd Paints carry search or track; a ping sweep warns every ship it crosses in its beam; allies hear the return silently
LockWarning becomes PaintWarning with a PaintMode (Search for a ping sweep, Track for a lock);
Entity.IncomingLocks becomes IncomingPaints. Sensor replaces the _pingedEntities set with a stateless
crossing rule over the previous and current wavefront radius, limited to a new BeamWidth stat (key 12,
absent reads 360), and credits allied pings from the receiving sensor's own sensitivity and distance.
The HUD lock indicator follows Track paints only. Folds in the radiator sampling-instant pin.

1c5c602054 Lock warning fix 1: publish paints in a zone phase, one lock-indicator curve, strength and progress-term pins
- Zone.Update publishes every entity's paints before any entity updates (Entity.PublishPaints), so a broken lock clears on the same tick whatever the entity order.
- ActionGameManager.ApplyLockProgress is the one lock-indicator curve, called by the outgoing and the incoming indicator.
- LockWarningTests drive the real LockWeapon through Zone.Update; pins on strength across 0.15..1.0, the direction and sensor progress terms, and both entity orders.

2dcb7b2078 Ballistic flight r3: DrawAhead draws a round from the sim's facts, a hit ends at its impact cell; FireControl draws nothing
FireControl.RoundEnd and RoundAt leave FireControl (RoundEnd to DrawAhead verbatim, RoundAt as DrawAhead's private Line);
DrawAhead.Round takes the published outcome, steers a hit or burst from its frozen line at the commit tick onto its
end (burst point, else the impact cell on the target's drawn pose), and RoundStop is deleted. Projectile caches the
last published ShotOutcome and calls DrawAhead only. BallisticFlightTests move to the new signatures; the frozen-line
moving-target test is replaced by impact-cell, steer and no-drawing-function tests. Unverified: not yet built or run.

DrawAhead leaves a ship in a wormhole animation where the step put it. The clock is
one static instance; a zone entered inside a step ends that frame's stepping and the
clock resets between frames (SimClock.Reset throws inside Advance). DrawAhead.Time had

8a1e205cf0 A new run replaces the saved run only once it has staged; a failed start says why and leaves the saved run
Launch cleared the run store before generating, and a generation or staging failure only reached the log: the
Generating Galaxy dialog stayed up, StartGame threw, and the saved run was already gone.

RunSave.Replace runs a start with the saved run still stored: when it returns a staged run the saved run's records go,
and when it returns null or throws, only the records it wrote (the arena's orbits and bodies) go. StartGame's
new-run branch is StartScenario, chosen by PendingScenario rather than by the absence of a SavedGame; it mints into an
empty ledger, and a failed start clears CurrentGalaxy (so quitting saves nothing) and refuses on the main menu with
every failure. Launch no longer clears; a galaxy that throws is refused on the title menu. The menu offers Continue
whenever no run is live, which replaces MainMenu.InGame (cut, with its prefab value and scene override), so a
failed start can resume the saved run in place.

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.

5ea59ac6b5 Entity: an equipped item keeps the hardpoint it occupies
The placement rule (HardpointAt) already finds the one hardpoint an item lies
in at equip; TryEquip threw that answer away and eighteen readers recomputed it
from the item's origin cell, which need not lie in the hardpoint (Soul's
scenarios batch-4 P30). EquippedItem.Hardpoint now carries the answer, null for
Tool gear and the hull, and every origin-cell lookup reads it instead:
FireControl.ArcFor, the eleven weapon managers, EntityInstance, ShipInstance
and ActionGameManager's articulation grouping. Entity.Hardpoints[,] stays the
per-cell map for armour and display.

TryFindSpace's hardpoint search tries every origin the fit rule can accept,
including ones up and left of the hardpoint, so a design whose shape lacks its
origin cell is found wherever ItemFits would place it.

The one conflict is AetheriaStores.CatalogTypes: keep ShipAuthoring from the
ships lane and Scenario from the scenarios lane.

da2a299baa Ship mounts: hide the thruster emitter with the invisible material
forceRenderingOff is not serialized, so the prototype's clone drew the
emitter again; the preview smoke's clone check caught it. The emitter's
materials become the template's invisible material, which survives
Instantiate and which EntityInstance keeps as the renderer's own material.

95c0fa621b Ship mounts: a thruster's mesh is an unrendered emission surface
Ruling thrusters-radiators-are-meshes: thruster and radiator mounts are meshes;
the thruster's is not drawn and is the surface its exhaust emits from, the
radiator's is drawn. The assembler already required a mesh for both; it now
turns rendering off on the thruster emitter, and the preview smoke checks it.
The authoring doc states the mount rules and the mesh rule.
