 // Phase A8.F: project a cell-local portal polygon to NDC screen space, clipping
-// against the GL near plane (w + z >= 0, i.e. z_ndc >= -1) so a portal straddling
-// the camera does not invert under the perspective divide. At the near plane w is
-// bounded away from zero, so the divide is safe — no eye-singularity blow-up.
+// against the in-front-of-camera half-space (keep where w + z >= 0) so a portal
+// straddling the camera does not invert under the perspective divide. This crossing
+// excludes the eye (w = 0) and lands just in front of the near plane, so every kept
+// vertex has w bounded away from zero and the divide is safe — no eye-singularity
+// blow-up. The predicate is convention-agnostic: acdream's cameras build projection
+// with Matrix4x4.CreatePerspectiveFieldOfView (NDC z in [0,1]); under a true GL
+// [-1,1] matrix w + z = 0 is exactly the near plane. Either way the eye is excluded.
 // Homogeneous form of the near-plane sidedness in retail PView::GetClip /
 // ConstructView(CBldPortal) (decomp:432344 / 433832).
