Switched to N.5's mesh_modern pattern: `uniform uvec2 uTerrainHandle` + `sampler2DArray(handle)` constructor at use sites. + +The black-terrain bug ALSO surfaced a process flaw: the user-verification gate was claimed "passed" without actual visual confirmation. The bug masked itself for hours of perf-measurement work. Memory captures this as a third high-value gotcha for future phases. + +### Out-of-scope — N.6 follow-ups + +- **GPU timer query double-buffering** — same as N.5; bring up alongside N.5's deferred fix. +- **Persistent-mapped indirect buffer** — eliminates per-frame `glBufferSubData(DRAW_INDIRECT_BUFFER)`. Likely small win at radius=5 (~1KB upload), bigger at higher radii. +- **GPU-side culling** (compute shader writing the DEIC array directly) — eliminates the CPU slot walk + DEIC build. N.6 or later. +- **Re-baseline at higher radius** — once A.5 raises the streaming radius, the architectural wins of multi-draw indirect should manifest. Capture fresh perf numbers there. + +### Memory + +`project_phase_n5b_state.md` captures three high-value gotchas for future bindless work: +1. `uniform sampler2DArray` + `glProgramUniformHandleARB` is unreliable; default to uvec2 handle + sampler-from-handle constructor. +2. Median-calc with `nz/2` underflows to out-of-range when nz<2; use `(nz-1)/2` form. +3.
