+/// <summary>
+/// A.5 T21: lock in the depth-write attribution per translucency kind.
+/// <para>
+/// <c>WbDrawDispatcher.Draw</c> uses a two-pass structure:
+/// <list type="bullet">
+///   <item>Opaque pass — <c>DepthMask(true)</c>: writes depth so that
+///     later transparent geometry sorts correctly against solid surfaces.</item>
+///   <item>Transparent pass — <c>DepthMask(false)</c>: reads depth but
+///     does NOT write it, so alpha-blended surfaces don't occlude each
+///     other by Z-fighting.</item>
+/// </list>
+/// The partition that decides which pass a batch enters is
+/// <see cref="WbDrawDispatcher.IsOpaquePublic"/>:
+/// <c>Opaque</c> and <c>ClipMap</c> go to the opaque pass (depth write);
+/// <c>AlphaBlend</c>, <c>Additive</c>, <c>InvAlpha</c> go to the
+/// transparent pass (no depth write).
+/// </para>
+/// </summary>
