AssetTerrainSource

Remarks

ITerrainAssetSource's implementation, beside AssetTerrainTextures and for the same reason: this assembly is where the asset system and the render system meet. A .vxterrain ships as a raw payload — TerrainStore's own binary, not a serialized object — so it is opened as bytes and read here; a .vxgrass ships as its serialized GrassType and is opened the same way, because a typed load cannot reach it: Load``1 requires a class and the rule is deliberately a struct. Load<object> was the first attempt at this seam, and it can never answer — the database checks the chunk's type id against the type being asked for, and no chunk was written by System.Object.

Nothing here waits — AssetMeshSource's contract. A load starts on the first ask and the answer is null until it lands; the extraction system asks again next frame. A reference that fails stays failed, so a level naming a terrain somebody deleted is one counter rather than a retry per frame for the life of the run.
