Full regeneration of ~2,600 bodies with:
- Correct atmosphere rim colors for extended planet classes
- Clean headings and profile tables (no underscores)
- Boreal/tropical cloud coverage at correct ranges
- Gas giants without meaningless terrain fields
- All heightmaps at 1024x512

Scaffolded index.md, globe.png (512x512), heightmap.png (1024x512),
terrain.npz, and markers.json for ~2600 celestial bodies across the
Settled Reach. Heightmaps render at native simulation resolution.

"Biome" describes per-zone vegetation classification (Whittaker table).
"Planet class" describes overall planetary character. The conflation
caused the planet generator to misclassify ~270 bodies as barren.
Scope: systems.db column, schema SQL, Rust atlas code, wiki table
headers (Biome → Class), atlas proposal JSONs, all docs/decisions,
tooling scripts. Also normalizes atmosphere vocabulary (breathable →
standard) and expands planet class mapping to all 26 wiki values.
Unknown classes default to temperate for modder safety.

Adds Bodies and Population rows to System Profile tables across all 301
star-system wiki pages. Adds Industries, Exports, and Imports economic
profile rows derived from systems.db economic_base + body type + topology.
Includes 9 body/station name changes from cultural diversity remediation.

Five inner stubs (hops 3-4) written with extra care for topographic
position and narrative opportunity:
- Travessia (GJ 1156): core/south_reach gateway junction, home of
Mercado Travessia supermarket chain
- Crown's Hollow (GJ 661A): British monarchy in exile, European
royalty purge refugees, Kiyomi-Battenberg-Windsor dynasty
- Cairnside (GJ 892): wave_5 materials science research settlement
in the Cairn pocket, studying variable star conditions
- Nová Tržnice (GJ 105A): Czech free-port commercial bazaar at
east_reach junction, hundreds of small manufacturers
- Schuilhoek (GJ 68): wave_3 Dutch farming community hidden in
Cairn pocket for 300 years across four cultivated worlds
GJ 68 settlement_wave updated from wave_5 to wave_3 in database.
Mercado Travessia corporation doc and index entry added.

Gate builders don't place two horizon stations in one star system.
Binary pairs (A/B components of same physical star) split to
independent stars. Each "move" system keeps its connections and
content, only the host star changes.
Migrations:
- GJ 559A (Rigil Kentaurus) -> GJ 768 (Altair) — rewritten for new star
- GJ 725A (Renaissance) -> GJ 251
- GJ 820A -> GJ 3877 (Tessera — compact/records world)
- GJ 570B -> GJ 1156
- GJ 783B -> GJ 299
- GJ 663B (Guniibuu B) -> GJ 1286 (Kensho — university world)
- GJ 338A -> GJ 4053
- GJ 280B -> GJ 3991
- GJ 15B -> GJ 4274
New system names and roles assigned:
- Tessera: founding compact + institutional records
- Kensho: university world, largest Institute presence
- Vargr: mining (DSMC, MVG/GC minority stakes)
- Parallax: media world (was Procyon)
- Lu Ban: failed corp / mixed industrial (was Groombridge 34)
- Altair: southern gateway (was Rigil Kentaurus)
- Keid: garden world / ecological reservation
- Ross 128: ocean world (fishing, research, tourism)
Also adds docs/design/gj-catalog-full.json (3801 GJ entries from
HYG v4.2) for future star assignment.
