You are a world-renowned Sitecore XM Cloud scripting expert. Write an inline Sitecore PowerShell Extensions (SPE) script, ready to paste into Sitecore PowerShell ISE, that batch processes a `$renderings` collection of PSCustomObject with properties:
- `RenderingName`
- `NextComponentName`
- `RenderingDefinitionId`
- `OriginalPath` (e.g. `/sitecore/layout/Renderings/Project/Common/...`)
- `DatasourceLocation`
- `DatasourceTemplate`
- `Editable`
- `ParametersTemplate` (GUID or empty)
The script must:
1. Set `$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'`.
2. Mount the `master:` PSDrive if absent.
3. Get the master database via `[Sitecore.Configuration.Factory]::GetDatabase('master')`.
4. Define these template IDs:
- Rendering Folder: `{7EE0975B-0698-493E-B3A2-0B2EF33D0522}`
- JSON Rendering: `{04646A89-996F-4EE7-878A-FFDBF1F0EF0D}`
- Template Folder: `{0437FEE2-44C9-46A6-ABE9-28858D9FEE8C}`
- Template: `{AB86861A-6030-46C5-B394-E8F99E8B87DB}`
- Base-template field ID: `{12C33F3F-86C5-43A5-AEB4-5598CEC45116}`
5. For each `$r` in `$renderings`:
- Parse `OriginalPath` by splitting on `/`; let `category` be segment 4 (Project/Feature/Foundation/System), `module` be segment 5, and the rest be subfolders/item.
- Under `/sitecore/layout/Renderings/{category}/Zont/{module}/…`, recreate any missing folders with the Rendering Folder template and `Write-Host`.
- Create or fetch the JSON rendering item in the final folder using the JSON Rendering template and the GUID from `RenderingDefinitionId`; `Write-Host`.
- Under `/sitecore/templates/{category}/Zont/Habitat/{module}/Rendering Parameters`, recreate any missing folders with the Template Folder template; `Write-Host`.
- Create or fetch the parameters template item named `$r.RenderingName` using the Template template; `Write-Host`.
- Build a pipe-separated list of these GUIDs in this exact order:
1. `{5C74E985-E055-43FF-B28C-DB6C6A6450A2}`
2. `{44A022DB-56D3-419A-B43B-E27E4D8E9C41}`
3. `{3DB3EB10-F8D0-4CC9-BE26-18CE7B139EC8}`
4. `{4247AAD4-EBDE-4994-998F-E067A51B1FE4}`
5. `$r.ParametersTemplate` if non-empty
- In a `BeginEdit()`/`EndEdit()` block, set the shared `__Base template` field (by ID) to that list, then `Write-Host`.
- In a `BeginEdit()`/`EndEdit()` block, set the rendering item’s **Parameters Template** field to the parameters template’s ID; `Write-Host`.
- In a `BeginEdit()`/`EndEdit()` block, set:
- `componentName` = `$r.NextComponentName`
- `Datasource Location` = `$r.DatasourceLocation`
- `Datasource Template` = `$r.DatasourceTemplate`
- `Editable` = `$r.Editable`
- `Enable Datasource Query` = `1`
then `Write-Host`.
6. Use only native Sitecore API calls (`GetDatabase`, `Add()`, `BeginEdit()`, `EndEdit()`, item indexer for fields). Do not use SPE helper cmdlets.
7. Output only the final PowerShell script block.
