Replace all S-XXX system identifiers with GJ astronomical IDs in
star-map.json nodes and edges. The astronomical_id field is removed
from nodes (now redundant with system_id). 301 nodes, 335 edges.

System S-057 assigned to real star GJ 35 (Van Maanen's Star, DG white
dwarf at 13.9 ly). Renamed across all content, server code, docs,
decisions, wiki lore, and config files. 224 files updated.

Replaced fabricated designations with real Gliese-Jahreiss entries
sourced from HYG Database v4.1. Selection: 215 G/K/F + 75 M + 10
unusual (white dwarfs, flare stars, subdwarfs) = 300 systems.
Habitable star types (G/K/F) are preferred at each distance shell,
spreading usable planets wider through the network. M-dwarfs fill
remaining slots — station economies, mining, frontier outposts.
Distance range: 4.2-46.8 ly. 51 named stars including Tau Ceti
(Gateway), Alpha Centauri, Delta Pavonis, Barnard's Star, Sirius,
Procyon, Arcturus, Pollux, Vega, Fomalhaut.

All systems use Gliese-Jahreiss (GJ) designations as primary catalog.
35 real nearby stars assigned by proximity to Gateway; 265 fabricated
across GJ sub-catalogs (main, southern, supplement, post-settlement).
Notable assignments:
- Gateway (S-001): GJ 71 / Tau Ceti
- Alpha Centauri A/B (S-090): GJ 559A, binary junction at hop 3
- Delta Pavonis (S-265): GJ 780, core dead_end at hop 2

300-node gate network with 334 edges, generated from seed config then
hand-balanced and tuned. Gateway (S-001) is the first hop from Earth
with 4 active + 1 dormant Sol aperture.
Final topology: 20% dead_end, 14% spur_end, 31% through_route,
10% loop_member, 19% junction, 6% hub. Frontier sectors have
distinct linear corridors; core is densely interconnected.
Includes generation pipeline (generate, sculpt, patch-core, tune),
seed config, and star-map-plan.md with algorithm documentation.
