"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.

20 changes across 18 systems implementing the approved remediation plan
from the cultural diversity audit (docs/design/cultural-diversity-audit.md).
DB changes (15 bodies/stations in systems.db):
- Thai bodies: Saikaew (GJ 635B), Nakhon Sung (GJ 667C), Doi Kaeo (GJ 117)
- Khmer bodies: Banteay (GJ 434), Srok Thmei (GJ 866A)
- Ukrainian: Chornozem body + Svoboda station (GJ 729)
- Caribbean: Lavenille body (GJ 873), Accompong Works station (GJ 406)
- Malay: Pulau Baru body (GJ 555), Balai station (GJ 449)
- Scientists: Huygens Platform (GJ 251), Ramanujan Station (GJ 699),
van Leeuwenhoek Station (GJ 820B), Turing Survey (GJ 663A)
Wiki calibration note additions:
- GJ 635B/667C/117/434: Thai cultural presence (survey teams, founding cohorts)
- GJ 866A/873: Khmer/Caribbean community naming origin
- GJ 729: Ukrainian founding cooperative in west_reach
- GJ 1245A/75: Igbo/Nigerian heritage explicitly acknowledged
- GJ 172: Malay kelong dual-heritage in Kaelong name
- GJ 601A: Russian secondary founding stream in Ostmark
Horizon stations not renamed. No corridor reassignments.
Conservative: systems with existing identity untouched.

1. GJ 111: spectral_class F5V → F5/F6V to match wiki (subgiant)
2. GJ 3943: spectral_class k-m → K5V+M3V (valid MK notation for binary)
3. GJ 903: write wiki prose — was empty stub with only body tables

Unsettled systems receive their GJ designation as proper_name, except
GJ 868 which is named "Encontro" per wiki lore (informal Portuguese
corridor name). 24 proposals updated, systems.db fully synced.

commit-system was inserting bodies/stations but never writing proper_name
to star_systems. Bulk-updated all 276 authored system names. Fixed duplicate
body_id collisions in GJ 1156, GJ 139, GJ 34A, GJ 34B, GJ 661A, GJ 664,
GJ 780 (planet and gas giant sharing same letter suffix).

Also includes star_type DB fixes and proposal file updates from
the west_reach authoring session.

systems.db: 43 North Reach body catalogs (hops 4-12)
tooling: atlas-verify, atlas-names, atlas-systems-done, atlas-helpers.sh

GJ 702A was a deprecated binary system entry. Replace with GJ 1221,
a real catalog star — DXP9 peculiar magnetic white dwarf at 20.03 ly.
Dead-end topology connecting to EZ Aqr (GJ 866A).
Updates: star-map.json, systems.db, gj-catalog-real.json, catalog.md,
EZ Aqr topology reference. New wiki entry and Drifter's Guide entry.
System count restored to 301.

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.

Replaces flat star_systems table with 7 normalized tables: star_systems,
system_gates (with hop_distance_from_gateway), system_history,
historical_events (1:N), system_economy, system_factions, system_culture.
Primary key is now the GJ astronomical ID (e.g., "GJ 244A") — S-number
identifiers removed entirely. The astronomical_id column is dropped as
redundant. Database moved to server/data/systems.db (ships with game).
10 core systems fully populated with structured data.
