The hand-authored Pickable prefabs (e.g. `Prefabs/Food/Pickable/Raw Steak.prefab`,
`Prefabs/Pickable/Tools/axe01.prefab`) still carry a FishNet `NetworkObject` component, left
over from a pre-refactor design.

**Why it's dead:** `Pickable` now derives from `WorldObject` (not `NetworkBehaviour`), and
`PickableRegistry.SpawnDropVisual` creates drops with a plain `Instantiate(item.WorldPrefab,…)`
— a local visual, never a network spawn. The registry syncs only ids/drop records. So the
`NetworkObject` on those prefabs does nothing. This matches CLAUDE.md §3 ("World objects
(pickables, harvestables) are not NetworkObjects").

**How to apply:** When generating or authoring world pickup prefabs, do NOT add a
`NetworkObject`. Required pieces are: the Pickable layer (11), a non-trigger collider on the
SAME GameObject as the `Pickable` (the interactor reads `IInteractable` via
`hit.collider.TryGetComponent`), the `Pickable` script wired to its `ItemData`, and id = -1
(scene instances get a baked id via Tools ▸ Ashwild ▸ Assign World Object IDs). The Ashwild
Database tool ([[ashwild-database-tool]]) generates them this clean way. The vestigial
NetworkObjects on old prefabs could be stripped in a cleanup pass.
