FoliageVolumeComponent

Remarks

[docs/plan/31]'s owed fifth seam — "a FoliageVolumeComponent naming a volume asset". The instances live beside the scene as a .vxfol, because fifty thousand transforms in a .vxscene is a file nobody can merge; the palette is names and numbers a review has to be able to read, and this component is the text that declares it — each entry a .vxfoliage reference, in the order the volume's chunks index.

⚠ The palette's order is load-bearing. A stored chunk names its type by index, so reordering these references re-dresses every painted stand — somebody's oaks become pines with no error anywhere. Append; do not sort.

⚠ Placement is the entity's translation, and world-painted volumes sit at the origin. The editor paints instances in world space, so a volume authored there rides an entity with no transform; the translation exists for a prefab-shaped volume placed more than once. Rotation and scale are not consumed, on TerrainComponent's no-rotation terms.
