From 47f2cea1e8eb03e2b008d48335d09fe8d97ec62e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erik Date: Sat, 9 May 2026 08:22:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 01/19] test(N.5b): quantify WB vs retail terrain split formula divergence Sweeps all (lbX, lbY, cellX, cellY) tuples for the full 255x255 landblock map (~4.16M cells) and reports both the raw enum-output disagreement (50.02%) and the diagonal-actually-painted disagreement (49.98%) between WB's CalculateSplitDirection and acdream's TerrainBlending.CalculateSplitDirection (which retail uses per CLandBlockStruct::ConstructPolygons at retail addr 00531d10). The two formulas behave like independent random hashes. Adopting WB's pipeline wholesale would mis-render ~half the diagonals on every landblock (Holtburg 0xA9B0: 29/64 cells = 45.3% wrong). This data is the foundation for N.5b's Path A vs B vs C decision (kills Path A).

Lifts outdoor terrain rendering onto N.5's modern primitives (bindless textures + glMultiDrawElementsIndirect) preserving the visible terrain pixel-for-pixel and preserving physics-vs-visual Z agreement (issue #51). Key decisions: - Path C: WB renderer pattern + acdream's existing LandblockMesh.Build (which uses retail's FSplitNESW formula, verified at retail addr 00531d10). Path A killed by 49.98% measured divergence vs retail. - Single global VBO/EBO + slot allocator (one slot per landblock), uint32 indices with baseVertex baked, mirror WB's pattern. - Keep TerrainAtlas (palCode-based fragment blending), add bindless handles. No LandSurfaceManager adoption. - Separate terrain_modern.vert/.frag (port of today's terrain.vert/.frag with bindless preamble; same blend math, same AdjustPlanes lighting). - Pure-CPU Z-conformance sentinel: meshTriZ vs TerrainSurface within 1mm across 10 representative landblocks x 100 sample points. - Acceptance: build green, conformance test passes, ~6-8 GL calls/frame for terrain regardless of scene size, [TERRAIN-DIAG] cpu_ms at radius=5 >=10% lower than today's per-LB-binds path. Files added: TerrainModernRenderer + TerrainSlotAllocator + terrain_modern.vert/.frag + 2 test files. Files deleted: TerrainChunkRenderer + TerrainRenderer + terrain.vert/.frag. Out of scope: EnvCells/dungeons, sky, particles, A.5 LOD, LandSurfaceManager adoption, fork-patching WB.

Future-proofs A.5's higher radius. | +| 5 | Shader unification | **Separate `terrain_modern.vert/.frag`** | Vertex layouts are meaningfully different (terrain: 6 attribs incl. palCode; entities: position+UV+normal+per-instance matrix). Unifying forces dead code on both sides; no perf win. | +| 6 | Streaming integration | **Mirror WB's slot allocator (free-list `Queue` + power-of-two grow).

Different streaming primitive (visible window split into "near tier" full-detail and "far tier" coarse-LOD). N.5b deliberately doesn't touch streaming radius or LOD machinery. +- **WB's `LandSurfaceManager` adoption** — Decision 2 explicitly keeps `TerrainAtlas`. Revisit only if a specific feature requires per-landblock alpha-mask bake. +- **WB's `TerrainGeometryGenerator` adoption** — Path C explicitly keeps acdream's `LandblockMesh.Build` as the source of truth. Don't call into WB's generator. +- **Fork-patching WB upstream** — Path C avoids this entirely. The WB submodule stays clean. +- **Persistent-mapped buffers / GPU-side culling / GL_TIME_ELAPSED double-buffering** — N.6 perf polish territory; not in N.5b scope. +- **Per-instance terrain "highlight" or per-LB tint** — no analogue need today; defer to backlog if a use case appears. +- **Removing `Texture2D` / `sampler2D` legacy texture path** — N.6 cleanup once Sky/Terrain/Debug/particle paths all migrate. N.5b only adds the `Texture2DArray` bindless path; legacy stays for non-terrain consumers. +- **Visual changes** — terrain renders pixel-for-pixel identical to today (same vertex layout, same blend math, same lighting bake).

From 79367d4c15b7c5b16184175a5f22de28bd342544 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erik Date: Sat, 9 May 2026 08:32:19 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 03/19] plan(N.5b): implementation plan for terrain on modern path Expands spec section 10 into 10 TDD-style tasks with explicit dependency arrows. Phase A (T1, T2, T4, T5, T7) parallelizable across 5 subagents; Phase B (T6 dispatcher) serial; Phase C (T8 GameWindow integration) serial; user verification gate; Phase D (T9 delete legacy + T10 docs/memory) parallelizable. Each task includes exact file paths, complete code blocks, exact test/build commands with expected output, and HEREDOC commit messages. Self-review: no placeholders; type-consistent across tasks (TerrainSlotAllocator API, GetBindlessHandles signature, SetSamplerHandleUniform contract).

Sweeps 10 representative landblocks x 100 sample points (uniform random in local 0..192 with fixed seed 42). For each point: compute meshTriZ via barycentric interpolation in the matching triangle of the LandblockMesh.Build output; compute physicsZ via TerrainSurface.SampleZFromHeightmap; assert |delta| < 0.001m. Catches any silent formula or vertex-layout drift between the visual and physics paths. Skips gracefully if ACDREAM_DAT_DIR isn't set (CI without dat data). Local run with dat data: 10/10 landblocks loaded, 1000 samples, max |delta| = 0.0305 mm (worst case: Direlands 0xC040).

With samples up to 191.999f, physics computes Z at the clamped position while the mesh sampler uses the actual position — a difference of up to 23 mm at the upper edge, which on a steep slope would falsely trip the 1 mm sentinel. Tighten upper bound to 191.975f (strictly below the clamp boundary) so both oracles compute Z at the same (cellX, tx). Also restored the "worst-case from SplitFormulaDivergenceTest" inline comment for landblock 0x4D96 per code review suggestion #3. Test still passes: 10/10 landblocks, 1000 samples, max |delta| = 0.0153 mm (previously 0.0305 mm — confirms the prior worst-case was indeed at the boundary).

The indices loop indexes meshData.Indices[0..383] unconditionally — out-of-range input would throw IndexOutOfRangeException instead of the clearer ArgumentException the vertex check raises. Today LandblockMesh.Build always produces 384/384, so this is defensive forward-compat for future mesh sources. Code review (Important #2): The shader (terrain_modern.vert:gl_VertexID % 6) only correctly picks the cell-corner index because we bake `slot * VertsPerLandblock` into indices and 384 is a multiple of 6. That invariant is now documented in a comment near the constant — anyone changing it must audit the shader. Build green: 0 errors / 0 warnings.

Diagnostic at TerrainModernRenderer.Draw showed: glProgramUniformHandle(prog=4, loc=5, handle=0x100251xxx) → GL_INVALID_OPERATION (0x0502) on both terrain and alpha sampler uniforms. Root cause: the `uniform sampler2DArray` + glProgramUniformHandleARB combination is rejected by the NVIDIA Windows driver in this configuration. The handle is valid and resident; the uniform location is valid; the program is valid; but the driver refuses to bind a 64-bit handle to a sampler uniform via the program-uniform path. Fix: switch to N.5's mesh_modern pattern — pass each 64-bit handle as a `uniform uvec2` (low + high 32-bit halves) and construct the sampler at the use site via the GLSL `sampler2DArray(handle)` constructor. This form is what ARB_bindless_texture documents as universally supported and is what N.5 already uses successfully. Files: - terrain_modern.frag: replace `uniform sampler2DArray uTerrain/uAlpha` with `uniform uvec2 uTerrainHandle/uAlphaHandle` + `#define`s - TerrainModernRenderer.cs: cache uvec2 uniform locations; set via `glProgramUniform2(program, loc, low32, high32)` per frame - BindlessSupport.cs: remove now-unused `SetSamplerHandleUniform`, leave a comment noting why the helper was retired - GameWindow.cs: also strip the temporary [TERRAIN-DBG] cursor-wrap print added during the perf-baseline investigation Build green; 114/114 tests in N.5+N.5b filter still pass; user-verified terrain renders correctly in modern path post-fix. Captured fresh perf baseline: - Legacy: cpu_us median 1.5 / p95 3.0 (1 chunk = 1 glDrawElements) - Modern: cpu_us median 6.4-7.0 / p95 9-14 (51 visible LBs, 1 MDI call) Modern is ~4× slower on CPU at radius=5 because the chunked legacy path already collapsed the scene to one draw call. The architectural wins (zero glBindTexture/frame; constant-cost dispatch as A.5 raises radius) will be documented in T10's perf baseline doc; the spec's "≥10% lower CPU" acceptance criterion is invalid at radius=5 and needs revision.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Document Phase N.5b shipping (terrain on the modern rendering path via Path C — `TerrainModernRenderer` mirrors WB's `TerrainRenderManager` pattern but consumes acdream's `LandblockMesh.Build` so retail's `FSplitNESW` formula stays in lockstep with physics + visual mesh). Changes: - `docs/plans/2026-04-11-roadmap.md` — add N.5b row to the Shipped table; promote N.5b's "Phases ahead" entry to ✓ SHIPPED with the Path C resolution + perf reality check; refresh N.6 scope to note Terrain has joined the modern path (legacy `Texture2D` retirement scope narrows to Sky + Debug); update top-of-doc Status line. - `docs/ISSUES.md` — close issue #51 (WB terrain-split formula divergence). Move from OPEN to "Recently closed" with the Path C resolution: never adopted WB's formula; modern dispatcher uses retail's via `LandblockMesh.Build`. References `da56063` (the black-terrain fix that landed within the N.5b ship chain). - `CLAUDE.md` — add `TerrainModernRenderer.cs` to the WB integration cribs list with the GL_INVALID_OPERATION caveat (use uvec2 + `sampler2DArray(handle)` constructor, NOT direct `uniform sampler2DArray` + `glProgramUniformHandleARB`). Update the "Currently in flight" preamble: N.6 builds on N.5 + N.5b; add an N.5b shipped paragraph linking the perf baseline doc. - `docs/plans/2026-05-09-phase-n5b-perf-baseline.md` — new doc capturing the radius=5 Holtburg perf measurement (modern 6.4-7.0 µs median vs legacy 1.5 µs — modern is ~4× SLOWER on CPU at radius=5). Documents the spec acceptance criterion #5 amendment, the architectural wins that DO hold (zero glBindTexture/frame, constant-cost dispatch as A.5 raises radius, per-LB frustum cull), and the three high-value gotchas surfaced during implementation. User-memory updates (outside repo, not in this commit): - `memory/project_phase_n5b_state.md` — full N.5b state file with the three gotchas captured. - `memory/MEMORY.md` — index entry pointing at the state file. Build: dotnet build green. No code changes in this commit.

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.

Three concrete A.5 deliverables: 1. Two-tier streaming (near = full, far = terrain-only) 2. Per-LB entity bucketing in WbDrawDispatcher 3. Off-thread LandblockMesh.Build to avoid streaming hitches at higher radius Eight brainstorm questions for the next session, plus acceptance criteria, files-to-read list, and explicit "don't do" warnings (don't raise STREAM_RADIUS without tiering in place; don't put scenery in far tier without an impostor pipeline; don't break the N.5b conformance sentinel; etc.). User's stated goal verbatim: "great smooth HIGH fps visuals. Should look great. As long as it scales and we get very high FPS." This reframes priorities away from radius=5 micro-optimization toward visual scale.

Should look great. As long +> as it scales and we get very high FPS" + +That reframes priorities. We are NOT optimizing the inner loop at radius=5 +(it's solved). We're scaling visual reach + scene density without the +client falling off a perf cliff. + +**Concretely, A.5 ships three things:** + +1. **Two-tier streaming.** Near tier (≤ N₁ landblocks) loads everything as + today (terrain + scenery + EnvCells + collision). Far tier (N₁ < r ≤ N₂) + loads terrain mesh ONLY. No scenery generation, no collision, no + entity registration for the far tier. +2. **Per-LB entity bucketing for the WB dispatcher.** Today the entity + dispatcher walks every loaded entity each frame for AABB cull — + ~16K entities @ ~1µs/test = 4.3ms/frame, dominating the frame budget. + Bucket entities by landblock so the cull is hierarchical: cull the LB + first, then only walk entities inside surviving LBs. +3. **Off-thread mesh build.** `LandblockMesh.Build` currently runs on the + render thread when a new LB streams in. At today's radius=5 this is + invisible; at A.5's higher N₂ it becomes a visible frame-time spike + when 4-5 LBs stream simultaneously. Move the build to a worker pool; + hand finished `LandblockMeshData` back via a queue. + +The headline win you're shooting for: **radius=15 sustains the user's +target FPS in Holtburg with no streaming hitches.** + +--- + +## Where N.5b left things + +### Branch state (relative to main) + +After N.5b ships: +- N.5b SHIP at `08b7362` (final commit; appended SHIP record to plan) +- Roadmap entry, issue #51 closure, perf baseline doc all in place at `083c10c` +- Legacy `TerrainChunkRenderer` + `TerrainRenderer` + `terrain.vert/.frag` + deleted at `7dfa2af`. **The modern path is the only path.** + +### Captured perf baseline (load-bearing for A.5's "what's actually hot") + +From `docs/plans/2026-05-09-phase-n5b-perf-baseline.md`, measured +2026-05-09 at Holtburg town dueling field, radius=5, ~30s standstill: + +| Subsystem | cpu_us median per frame | Notes | +|---|---|---| +| **Entity dispatcher** (`WbDrawDispatcher`) | **~4,300** | 86% of frame budget. ~16K entities walked for AABB cull. THIS is the bottleneck. | +| Terrain dispatcher (`TerrainModernRenderer`) | ~6.4 | <1% of frame. Constant-cost regardless of radius (proved in N.5b). | +| Everything else (sky, particles, ImGui, swap, audio) | ~700 | Small. | + +**Actual FPS at radius=5 in Holtburg: ~200 fps** (frame time ≈ 5ms). +NOT the "810 fps" inferred from the N.5 ship doc (that was 1/dispatcher_ms, +which is only the WB dispatcher CPU cost in isolation, not real frame time). + +### What naive radius increase does + +If you simply raised `ACDREAM_STREAM_RADIUS` to 15 today without A.5: + +- Loaded landblocks: 121 → ~961 (8× more). Acceptable. +- Loaded entities: ~16K → ~125K (linear scaling with LB count). **NOT + acceptable.** At ~1µs per AABB cull, the entity dispatcher would take + ~125ms/frame = 8 FPS. Slideshow. +- Memory footprint: similar 8× explosion in scenery instance buffers. + +So the perf cliff is real and immediate. A.5 has to address it BEFORE +the radius can be safely raised. + +### What N.5b set up that A.5 inherits + +- **Modern terrain dispatcher.** `TerrainModernRenderer` is O(1) GL calls + in radius. As you add far-tier LBs (terrain only), the terrain + dispatcher cost stays flat (~6µs/frame). This is the one subsystem + that doesn't need any A.5 work — it just scales. +- **Slot allocator for terrain GPU buffers.** Already grows by power-of-two + doubling. Will absorb radius=15 (~961 slots × ~15 KB each = ~14 MB) + without manual tuning. +- **`[TERRAIN-DIAG]` instrumentation.** Reports per-frame median + p95 in + microseconds. Use this to confirm A.5 doesn't regress terrain perf. +- **Conformance sentinel.** `TerrainModernConformanceTests` proves visual + mesh Z agrees with `TerrainSurface.SampleZFromHeightmap` to 0.015 mm. + Don't break this — physics ↔ visual agreement must hold across both + tiers. +- **Bindless atlas.** `TerrainAtlas.GetBindlessHandles()`. The far tier + shares the atlas (it's region-wide). Zero atlas-related per-LB cost. + +--- + +## The brainstorm questions (the hard calls A.5 has to make) + +These are the questions to resolve in the brainstorm step. Bring them to +the user with options + recommendation; don't prejudge. + +### 1. Tier radii: what are N₁ and N₂? + +- **N₁** = near-tier radius (everything loads). Today's default `STREAM_RADIUS`. + Probably stays at 5 (or maybe 4; maybe 3). +- **N₂** = far-tier radius (terrain mesh only). Could be 8, 12, 15, 20. + +Tradeoffs: bigger N₂ = more world visible = looks better. But each far-tier +LB still costs ~16 KB GPU memory + a frustum cull AABB + a slot allocation. +At N₂=15, that's ~961 LBs × 16 KB = ~15 MB GPU mem (cheap) + ~961 cull +tests (cheap, ~1ms total at 1µs each — and we'll do this per-LB cull +anyway as part of #2 below). + +Verify against retail: cdb attach + check how many landblocks retail keeps +loaded at a given vantage point. Probably around 10-12 per the AC2D +references and the holtburger client's behavior. + +### 2. Far tier: terrain only? Or also impostor scenery? + +Two options: +- **Terrain only** (cleanest). Beyond N₁, no trees, no rocks. Skyline is the + terrain mesh against the sky. +- **Impostor scenery** (more retail-like). Beyond N₁, generate flat + billboards or low-poly trees instead of full meshes. Adds substantial + complexity (billboard pipeline, mesh-LOD generation, per-camera-angle + rotation). + +Recommendation: start with terrain-only. Add impostors only if the +horizon looks wrong (too bare). Retail definitely has SOME distant +scenery but the cutoff is gradual; we can match it later if needed. + +### 3. Entity bucketing structure + +Today: `WbDrawDispatcher` keeps a flat dictionary of all entities and +walks all of them per frame. To bucket by LB, we need: + +- A `Dictionary>` keyed by landblock ID +- On `AddEntity(...)`, also stash it in the LB bucket (the spawn flow + already knows the LB context) +- On `RemoveEntity(...)`, remove from the LB bucket too +- Per frame: cull at LB granularity first; then cull entities only inside + surviving LBs + +LB-level AABBs are already computed (per the existing `_visibleSlots` +logic in `TerrainModernRenderer` — the same AABB applies to entities, +modulo a Z-range bump for trees/buildings). + +Open question: do entities outside a known LB exist? (Items dropped on the +ground? Ephemeral effects? Player projectiles?) If yes, they need a +fallback "unknown LB" bucket that's still walked every frame. Probably +small. + +### 4. Where does the off-thread mesh build land? + +Today `LandblockMesh.Build` runs synchronously inside `OnLandblockLoaded` +on the render thread. To move it off: + +- `StreamingLoader` worker thread (already async for dat reads) signals + "LB X is ready" +- A new worker pool consumes that signal, builds the mesh on a worker + thread, posts the finished `LandblockMeshData` to a `ConcurrentQueue` +- Render thread drains the queue at the start of each frame, calling + `_terrain.AddLandblock(...)` for each ready mesh + +Gotcha: the `TerrainBlendingContext` is shared. Need to confirm it's +read-only (it is — built once at startup). Also `_surfaceCache` — +currently a plain `Dictionary` populated lazily by `TerrainBlending.BuildSurface`. +Either lock it, replace with `ConcurrentDictionary`, or pre-populate with +all known palCodes at startup. + +### 5. Streaming hysteresis at the tier boundary + +When the player crosses N₁ → near-tier shrinks, far-tier grows. +LBs that were near-tier need to: +- Drop their scenery (unregister entities) +- Drop their EnvCells +- Keep the terrain mesh (still in far tier) + +When the player crosses back: the LB needs scenery + EnvCells re-loaded. +Hysteresis (don't churn at the exact boundary) is needed. + +The streaming loader already has hysteresis for full LB load/unload. A.5 +extends that: a separate hysteresis radius for the scenery/entity layer. + +### 6. Visual quality wins to ride along + +A.5 is the natural place to land 2-3 nearly-free quality wins: + +- **Mipmapped terrain atlas + anisotropic 16x.** Today the atlas is + `GL_LINEAR` no mipmaps; distant terrain shimmers. ~half-day fix. + Big visible improvement at far tier. +- **Tree alpha-test → alpha-to-coverage with MSAA.** Today tree edges are + binary cutoff and pixel-edged. A2C with MSAA fixes them. ~one day. +- **Correct depth-write for transparent foliage.** Some scenery passes + may be writing depth incorrectly; confirm + fix. + +These are not strictly required for A.5 to ship, but they amplify the +"looks great" payoff. + +### 7. Acceptance metrics + +The user's goal is "smooth + high FPS + great-looking + scales." Pin +this concretely: + +- Target FPS at radius (whatever final N₁ + N₂): ≥ user's monitor refresh + (probably 144 or 240 Hz). Capture before/after numbers in a perf + baseline doc parallel to N.5b's. +- No frame-time spikes > 5ms during streaming (record a 60-second + trace running through Holtburg → North Yanshi). +- Visual horizon visible at the new N₂. Capture screenshots from the + same vantage point at the start of A.5 (before) and at ship (after) + for the SHIP record. + +### 8. What's NOT in A.5 + +A.5 does not need to ship: +- GPU-side culling (compute-shader cull). Bigger lift; N.6 territory. +- Persistent-mapped indirect buffer. N.6 territory. +- Sky / particles / EnvCells migration. Separate N.7+ phases. +- Shadow mapping. Separate visual phase. + +Don't let scope creep pull these in. + +--- + +## Files to read before brainstorming + +In rough order of relevance: + +1. **`docs/research/2026-05-09-phase-n5b-handoff.md`** — N.5b's handoff + (read for context on what was just shipped + the structure of these + handoff docs). +2. **`docs/plans/2026-05-09-phase-n5b-perf-baseline.md`** — captured + perf numbers + the architectural reasoning for what A.5 inherits. +3. **`memory/project_phase_n5b_state.md`** — three high-value gotchas + captured during N.5b (especially #1: bindless uniform-sampler driver + quirk; A.5 won't directly need this, but it's the prior art for any + new shader code in the phase). +4. **`docs/plans/2026-04-11-roadmap.md`** A.5 entry — the original A.5 + description. +5. **The streaming loader** — `src/AcDream.Core/World/StreamingLoader.cs` + (or wherever it lives; grep for `OnLandblockLoaded`). Understand the + existing ring + hysteresis logic before extending it. +6. **WB dispatcher entity flow** — + `src/AcDream.App/Rendering/Wb/WbDrawDispatcher.cs` lines covering + `Draw` (the per-entity walk) and `EntitySpawnAdapter` (where entities + get registered). The bucketing change lands here. +7. **`LandblockMesh.Build`** — `src/AcDream.Core/Terrain/LandblockMesh.cs`. + Its inputs (heightmap, ctx, surfaceCache) determine what the worker + thread needs. ~150 lines. +8. **WB's `SceneryRenderManager`** — + `references/WorldBuilder/Chorizite.OpenGLSDLBackend/Lib/SceneryRenderManager.cs`. + Has a render-distance cap; informs N₁ vs N₂ defaults. +9. **`TerrainModernRenderer`** — + `src/AcDream.App/Rendering/TerrainModernRenderer.cs`. Don't modify; + confirm the slot allocator handles radius=15 cleanly. + +--- + +## Acceptance criteria for the whole phase + +1. Build green; existing tests stay green; N.5b's conformance sentinel + still passes (visual mesh Z = TerrainSurface Z within 1mm). +2. **Far-tier LBs render terrain visibly past N₁** in user-driven visual + verification. +3. **Per-frame entity-dispatcher cpu_us at radius=N₁ drops** vs today + (the bucketing should help even at the current radius). +4. **Per-frame entity-dispatcher cpu_us at radius (N₁+N₂) is bounded** + — does NOT scale linearly with total loaded LBs. Specifically: + bucketed cull should be < 1.5× today's cost despite far-tier LBs + loading. +5. **No streaming hitch > 5ms** when running at run-speed across N₁/N₂ + tier boundaries simultaneously (capture a 60s trace). +6. **`[TERRAIN-DIAG]` cpu_us stays flat** as N₂ grows — the terrain + dispatcher proven O(1) (regression check). +7. Visual identity at near-tier (no scenery missing inside N₁; no + z-fighting; no cell-boundary wobble — N.5b sentinel still applies). +8.

The N.5b precedent is honest reporting. +- **Don't skip the visual verification gate.** Same lesson from N.5b's + black-terrain regression: "go" doesn't mean "verified." User must + actually launch the client at radius=N₂ and confirm the horizon + looks great + FPS hits target. + +--- + +## Reference: where the FPS budget actually goes today + +For brainstorming purposes, the per-frame breakdown at radius=5 / Holtburg +(real measurement, 2026-05-09): + +``` +~5,000 µs total frame time (= 200 fps) +├── 4,300 µs WbDrawDispatcher entity cull + dispatch ← THE BOTTLENECK +│ ~16K entity AABB tests / frame +│ A.5's entity bucketing attacks this directly +├── 6 µs TerrainModernRenderer +│ O(1) in radius.
