 ### Build / structures / grid
 - **Build-grid math must be deterministic + integer-stable:** corner-origin, center-returning, **half-open** cell bounds, `math.floor`. Lock `CellSize`/`PlotSize` as a coordinate space once (`BaseGridMath`) — changing them invalidates placed structures.
-- **`PlacedStructure{[GhostField] byte Type; int2 Cell (server-only); uint NextTick; uint LastProcessedTick}`** on an ownerless interpolated ghost. **Bake the tick fields** (catch-up linchpin); only `Type` replicates (client derives `Cell`). **Occupancy is DERIVED** by scanning live ghosts into a Temp `NativeHashSet<int2>`, never baked. See [[DR-014_M6_Build_Structures_Automation_Foundation]].
+- **Structures:** bake the tick fields (catch-up linchpin); only `Type` replicates (client derives `Cell`); **occupancy is DERIVED** from live ghosts, never baked. See [[DR-014_M6_Build_Structures_Automation_Foundation]].
 - **Co-op placement atomicity:** commit `StorageMath.Withdraw` + cell-reservation **in-place in the RPC foreach** (only `Instantiate` via ECB) so two same-tick requests for one cell can't both pass.
-- **EB-1 machines can die ★ (DR-032):** structures bake `Health`(`[GhostField]`)+`DamageEvent`+`Destructible`; `HealthApplyDamageSystem` destroys a `Destructible` at 0 (occupancy auto-frees). `EnemyAISystem` fortress-targets weighted-nearest players+structures (`EnemyAIMath.PickWeightedNearest`; snapshot ABOVE the early-return; `StructureAggroWeight`<1 SQUARED). ★ a Health-less machine silently drops OUT of the aggro snapshot. See [[DR-032_EB1_Machines_Can_Die]].
-- **EB-2 felt spend ★ (DR-033):** turret ammo = shared `Charge`(`ResourceId` **4**) on the `[GhostField] StorageEntry` ledger; `TurretFireSystem` spends from the ONE `GetSingletonEntity<ResourceLedger>` (afford→fire+cooldown, else SOFT-FAIL, no cooldown-burn). `Fabricator.InputFromLedger` reads it LIVE in-loop (no hoist → machines split a finite pool). See [[DR-033_EB2_Felt_Spend_Charge_Economy]].
-- **END-1 losable Core ★ (DR-034):** `CoreIntegrity{[GhostField] int Current,Max; uint OverrunTick}` on the GLOBAL CycleDirector ghost; `CoreDamageSystem`/`CoreRestoreSystem` (server) drain near `PlotCenter`, regen ONLY in Calm. SOFT-loss edge IN `CyclePhaseSystem` (sole Phase writer): `Current<=0` in Siege → Calm (NO reward; transient `OverrunTick`, NOT latching). Core = `EnemyAISystem` FALLBACK target. SaveData **v4**. See [[DR-034_END1_Losable_Core]].
-- **END-2 win/lose ★ (DR-036):** server-only `RunPhase` (writer `GoalReachedSystem`) + **REPLICATED `RunOutcome{[GhostField] byte}`** (writer `CyclePhaseSystem`; do NOT client-derive the banner). `GoalReached` arms a final siege ×`FinalSiegeMultiplier` at `Charge>=Target` (once)+FinalDefense; latch Victory/Loss+halt; SiegeTimeout OFF in the final; SaveData **v5**. See [[DR-036_END2_Final_Siege_Win_Lose]].
-- **`GoalProgress{[GhostField] int Charge,Target}`** (the goal meter — ≠ EB-2 `ResourceId.Charge` ammo) rides the CycleDirector ghost. Resource-gated ability tiers/buffs reuse `StatModifier` (`StatRecomputeSystem`→`EffectiveAbilityStats`).
-- **M7 Automation (server-only) ★:** `Harvester`/`Conveyor` palette-TRIMMED (code intact), `Fabricator` LIVE (EB-2); catch-up `ProductionMath.CyclesDue` (**lower-bound 0**); `RuntimePlacedTag`=player-built. See [[DR-020_M7_Automation_Production_Chains]].
-- **Harvest routes by node region ★; inventory/equipment PAUSED:** in-run nodes→PERSONAL `InventorySlot` (`[GhostField] OwnerSendType.All`, spill→ledger); `G`=deposit at base (base nodes GONE — DR-044). Items/equip detail → gotchas archive (2026-06-12). See [[DR-026_Inventory_Equipment_Progression_Foundation]].

 - **Disk persistence (`SaveData`, single-slot atomic JSON, versioned/additive) ★:** **born-correct load** — `CycleDirectorSpawnSystem` stages `PendingSave` AT SPAWN; `BaseRestoreSystem` replays structures charge-free + REMAINING-tick cooldowns + HP. `SaveService.Load` = additive floor `[MinLoadableVersion=2, Current]` (old saves load; missing field 0-defaults).

 - `ProjectM.Simulation.GameBootstrap : ClientServerBootstrap` overrides `Initialize` with `AutoConnectPort = 0` (M4 — listen/connect is explicit via the `ConnectionConfig` singleton + per-world ConnectionControlSystems). **Editor default = instant-into-game + MPPM** (creates `ServerWorld` (`WorldFlags.GameServer`) + `ClientWorld` (`WorldFlags.GameClient`)); the `ProjectM/Boot Into Menu (Editor)` EditorPref flips the MAIN editor to the frontend path. **Player builds boot the UITK frontend menu** (`return false` → one menu world, no netcode worlds until a menu choice). See [[DR-019_Frontend_Menu_Settings_Saves_Build]].
 - **Scenes:** `Assets/Scenes/MainMenu.unity` (build index 0) boots the UITK frontend (menu world only); `Assets/Scenes/Game.unity` (index 1) holds gameplay with `Assets/_Project/Subscenes/Gameplay.unity` wired in as the baked subscene (GameObject `GameplaySubScene`). `SampleScene`/`DevSandbox` are kept as reference/dev scenes. The on-demand lifecycle (`WorldLauncher`/`SessionRunner`/`MainMenuController`) creates the right worlds per menu choice (Single/Host/Join), THEN `LoadScene(Game)` (subscene-streaming rule above).
