Code review on T13-T16 bundle (commits fb10c3f/aff35d2/b8d80fe/c4fd373/31d312a)
flagged 3 Important + 2 test-coverage gaps. Apply all 5:
Important #1: GpuWorldState.AddEntitiesToExistingLandblock didn't
canonicalize landblockId. Streaming callers always pass canonical
0xAAAA0xFFFF ids, but the public API silently key-missed for callers
that mirror AppendLiveEntity's cell-resolved-id pattern. Both new
methods now canonicalize the id on entry.
Important #2: RemoveEntitiesFromLandblock asymmetry with RemoveLandblock
re: persistent-entity rescue. Documented as intentional — demote-tier
entities are atlas-tier only (procedural scenery, dat-static stabs/
buildings; never ServerGuid != 0); the local player and live server
spawns live in their LB via RelocateEntity per frame and aren't
affected by atlas-layer demote.
Important #3: StreamingController.NearRadius / FarRadius were { get; set; }
but mutating them after the first Tick is a no-op (StreamingRegion
snapshots the values). Switched to { get; } only with XML doc warning.
Test gap #1: ToDemote routing through Tick — added test that walks
the player past hysteresis and asserts entities drop while terrain
stays.
Test gap #2: Promoted result routing through Tick — added test that
enqueues a Promoted and asserts AddEntitiesToExistingLandblock fires.
Deferred Minor: dead _streamingRadius write + style consistency on
fully-qualified IReadOnlyList — non-load-bearing, can roll into a later
cleanup.

Cosmetic follow-up flagged by spec compliance review on T13-T16 bundle
(commits fb10c3f / aff35d2 / b8d80fe / c4fd373). The debug overlay's
getStreamingRadius callback was reading _streamingRadius — the legacy
single-tier field that's only updated by ACDREAM_STREAM_RADIUS. Operators
using the new ACDREAM_NEAR_RADIUS / ACDREAM_FAR_RADIUS env vars would
see the overlay frozen at the default 2.
Switch to _nearRadius. The overlay still shows a single number (matching
its label "Streaming radius"); operators who want both tier numbers can
read the launch log.

GameWindow now constructs StreamingController with nearRadius / farRadius
defaults of 4 / 12 (per spec acceptance criterion). Env vars:
- ACDREAM_NEAR_RADIUS (default 4)
- ACDREAM_FAR_RADIUS (default 12)
- ACDREAM_STREAM_RADIUS (legacy; if set, treats as nearRadius and
bumps farRadius to max(stream, default))
Fields _nearRadius / _farRadius added alongside legacy _streamingRadius
(kept so the debug overlay's getStreamingRadius callback stays valid).
ApplyLoadedTerrainLocked routes to TerrainModernRenderer.AddLandblockWithMesh
(T15) instead of AddLandblock directly, making the two-tier entry point
the canonical call path.

Replaces the single-radius Tick with a two-tier model that consumes
StreamingRegion's TwoTierDiff (5-list) and routes to the appropriate
JobKind:
- ToLoadFar -> _enqueueLoad(id, LoadFar)
- ToLoadNear -> _enqueueLoad(id, LoadNear)
- ToPromote -> _enqueueLoad(id, PromoteToNear)
- ToDemote -> _state.RemoveEntitiesFromLandblock(id) on render thread
- ToUnload -> _enqueueUnload(id)
Drain switch handles Loaded (terrain + entity layer), Promoted (entity
layer only -- terrain already loaded), Unloaded, Failed, WorkerCrashed.
Constructor signature: nearRadius/farRadius separate ints. Old single-
radius ctor removed; existing single-radius tests updated to pass
nearRadius=farRadius for backward-compat coverage.
GameWindow's enqueueLoad lambda updated from (id =>...) to (id, kind) =>
to match new Action<uint, LandblockStreamJobKind> signature; radius: arg
renamed to nearRadius:/farRadius: (both set to _streamingRadius until T16
wires the full two-tier env-var parsing).

T13 routes worker-built meshes from LandblockStreamResult.Loaded.MeshData
into the renderer. AddLandblockWithMesh accepts a prebuilt mesh + origin
and delegates to the existing AddLandblock(uint, LandblockMeshData, Vector3)
so both paths share one upload path (Approach B -- AddLandblock already
takes a prebuilt mesh; no inline build to extract).
GameWindow's T16 lambda captures liveCenterX/Y and passes the derived
origin; the renderer stays origin-agnostic.

Two new methods on GpuWorldState, used by two-tier streaming (T13):
- RemoveEntitiesFromLandblock(id): drop all entities from an LB while
keeping the terrain. Used for Near->Far demote (player walks past the
inner ring; LB stays loaded but entities leave).
- AddEntitiesToExistingLandblock(id, entities): merge new entities into
an already-loaded LB record. Used for Far->Near promote (terrain is
already on the GPU; just streaming the entity layer in).
Falls back to the pending bucket if the LB hasn't loaded yet.

Code review on T10-T12 bundle (commits 0cf86bb/00bb030/0405947 + audit
fix 76e1a64) found 3 Important issues:
1. LandblockStreamer.Start() had an idempotency race — the XML doc
claimed thread-safety but the implementation checked _worker != null
before assigning, allowing two callers to both pass the check and
spawn duplicate worker threads. Fixed via Interlocked.CompareExchange.
2. No test verified the worker emits Failed when buildMeshOrNull returns
null. Added Load_WhenBuildMeshReturnsNull_ReportsFailed.
3. StreamingControllerTests.cs:81 used MeshData: default! when
constructing a Loaded result. If a future test flows MeshData
through the apply callback, the null reference would NRE rather
than producing a meaningful assertion failure. Replaced with a real
empty LandblockMeshData instance.

Spec compliance review on T10-T12 bundle (commits 0cf86bb/00bb030/0405947)
caught 2 unprotected dat reads that the original T10 audit missed:
- GameWindow.UpdatePlayerAnimation (line ~7546): reads Setup when the
player entity is missing from _animatedEntities (post-respawn pattern).
- GameWindow.EnterPlayerModeNow (line ~8567): reads Setup when entering
player mode to derive StepUpHeight / StepDownHeight from the dat.
Both run on the render thread post-_streamer.Start(), so they can race
with the worker thread's BuildLandblockForStreamingLocked. DatBinReader's
shared buffer position would corrupt — same class of "ball with spikes"
bug the original Phase A.1 hotfix addressed.
Wrap both reads in lock (_datLock).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Replaces the T7-temporary default! MeshData placeholder. Streamer
now takes Func<uint, LoadedLandblock?, LandblockMeshData?> at
construction; the worker calls it after _loadLandblock succeeds and
passes the pre-built mesh into LandblockStreamResult.Loaded.
GameWindow's buildMeshOrNull factory takes the already-loaded
LoadedLandblock (lb.Heightmap is the LandBlock dat object), so no
additional dat read is needed — _heightTable and _blendCtx are
read-only after init, _surfaceCache is ConcurrentDictionary (T9).
Zero dat lock needed inside the mesh-build closure.
StreamingController._applyTerrain delegate signature widened to
Action<LoadedLandblock, LandblockMeshData> so the pre-built mesh
flows render-thread-side via the Loaded result. ApplyLoadedTerrainLocked
now accepts meshData and calls _terrain.AddLandblock directly, skipping
the per-frame LandblockMesh.Build that previously ran on the render
thread (~5ms per LB at radius=12 first traversal).
StreamingControllerTests updated: all four applyTerrain lambdas
adapted to the two-arg Action signature.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Phase A.1 reverted to synchronous mode due to DatCollection thread-
safety; T10 documented the lock that makes concurrent reads safe. T11
activates the dedicated worker thread and switches enqueue methods
to non-blocking Channel.Writer.TryWrite.
EnqueueLoad now takes LandblockStreamJobKind (default: LoadNear from
all callers, matching previous full-load semantics). T13/T16 will
route by kind per TwoTierDiff.
Constructor gains optional buildMeshOrNull param (defaults to null-
returning stub); T12 wires the real LandblockMesh.Build factory.
GameWindow construction site updated: Action<uint> enqueueLoad
delegate now wraps a lambda (method group won't bind to Action<uint>
when the method has an optional second param).
LandblockStreamerTests updated: the synchronous-thread-pinning test
replaced by Load_ExecutesLoaderOnWorkerThread which asserts the
loader runs on a different thread; Load_FollowedByDrain now supplies
a stubMesh so the worker can produce Loaded (not Failed) results.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Phase A.5 T11 activates the LandblockStreamer worker thread, making
concurrent dat reads possible. DatReaderWriter's DatBinReader uses a
shared buffer position internally — concurrent _dats.Get<T> calls from
worker + render thread corrupt that state and produce half-populated
LandBlock.Height[] arrays (renders as wildly distorted terrain).
The _datLock field already existed from the Phase A.1 hotfix, and the
high-traffic worker-facing paths (BuildLandblockForStreaming,
ApplyLoadedTerrain, OnLiveEntitySpawned) already hold it. This commit
updates the field comment to precisely document the T10 contract:
all worker-thread dat reads enter via factory closures that acquire
_datLock; render-thread paths are already covered by their outer
lock wrappers.

Code review on commits 295bce9/a0741bd/4be392b flagged 1 Important + 3
Minor issues. Apply the actionable two:
Important: 6 sites in GameWindow.cs (lines 3900, 4017-4024, 4138, 4270,
4315) wrote entity.Position = X directly, bypassing T8's SetPosition
mutator and therefore never marking AabbDirty. When T18 lands the
dispatcher's "if AabbDirty refresh" cull gate, these direct writes
would silently leave AABB stale (frustum culls dynamic entities at
their previous positions). Migrated all 6 sites to SetPosition().
Minor: Added a silent case LandblockStreamResult.Promoted arm in
StreamingController.Tick with a TODO(A.5 T13) marker. Today the
streamer never produces Promoted, so the arm is unreachable; the
explicit case prevents a future reader from wondering why the case
is missing.
Deferred Minor: surfaceCache thread-safety XML doc comment + style
consistency on System.Collections.Generic using directive — non-
load-bearing cosmetic.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Widens LandblockMesh.Build's surfaceCache parameter from Dictionary to
IDictionary so any IDictionary implementation compiles at call sites.
Switches GameWindow._surfaceCache from Dictionary to ConcurrentDictionary
so T11's streaming worker can call Build off the render thread without
a lock.
The TryGetValue+assign lookup inside Build is not atomic, but BuildSurface
is deterministic (same palCode -> same SurfaceInfo), making last-write-wins
under concurrent access benign. Comment added at the pattern site.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds AabbMin/AabbMax (per-entity world-space bounding box) and AabbDirty
flag to WorldEntity. RefreshAabb() recomputes the box from Position ±5 m
(DefaultAabbRadius). SetPosition() writes Position and marks the cache
dirty so the dispatcher calls RefreshAabb on first read rather than
carrying stale bounds.
AabbDirty defaults to true on construction — freshly-built entities have
zero AabbMin/AabbMax until RefreshAabb is called. Two new conformance tests
verify the ±5 m geometry and the dirty/clean state machine.
Per Phase A.5 spec §4.6 Change #2.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Extends the Loaded result record with a LandblockStreamTier discriminator
and a LandblockMeshData payload (default! stub — T13 wires the real
off-thread mesh build). Adds the Promoted variant for Far→Near upgrades
that only need the entity layer, not a mesh rebuild.
LandblockStreamer.HandleJob passes Tier.Near + default! MeshData at the
existing synchronous load site; StreamingControllerTests updated to
match the new positional signature.

Code review on commits 7bcabab/fb6b61e/326b698 flagged 2 Important +
4 Minor issues. Apply all fixes:
Important:
- Two-tier RecenterTo + MarkResidentFromBootstrap now throw
InvalidOperationException on misuse — calling RecenterTo before the
bootstrap silently emitted the entire window as fresh loads (no
demotes/unloads since _tierResidence was empty), a correctness hazard
that produced no exception. Calling MarkResidentFromBootstrap twice
silently dropped accumulated tier state. Both now crash loudly via
a _bootstrapped flag.
- Dropped TierResidence.None from the enum — never assigned, never
checked; absence from the dictionary already encodes "not resident."
Minor:
- Renamed test: RecenterTo_FirstTick_* → ComputeFirstTickDiff_FirstTick_*
(the test calls ComputeFirstTickDiff, not RecenterTo).
- Strengthened RecenterTo_PlayerWalks_NullToFar_* with assertions for
ToPromote.Count==3 (the x=102 column promoting Far→Near) and
ToUnload.Empty (everything within hysteresis).
- Replaced System.Math.Abs with Math.Abs in new code to match the
file's existing `using System;` convention.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds TierResidence enum (None/Far/Near), _tierResidence dictionary seeded
by MarkResidentFromBootstrap, and the canonical two-tier RecenterTo overload
returning TwoTierDiff. Pass 1 walks the new far window and emits ToLoadFar /
ToLoadNear / ToPromote; Pass 2 walks prior residents and emits ToDemote /
ToUnload using Chebyshev hysteresis thresholds (NearRadius+2 / FarRadius+2).
EncodeLandblockIdForTest exposes the encoding rule to test assemblies.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds the first-tick bootstrap diff: ToLoadNear for the (2*near+1)^2 inner
window, ToLoadFar for the outer annulus up to FarRadius. Uses Chebyshev
distance, matching existing Recenter convention.
Also renames the single-tier RecenterTo → RecenterToSingleTier to free
the canonical name for the upcoming two-tier overload (T5). Updates
StreamingRegionTests and StreamingController to call the renamed method.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add NearRadius/FarRadius properties and a four-arg constructor
(centerX, centerY, nearRadius, farRadius). Radius is set to farRadius
so existing hysteresis math (unload threshold = Radius+2) uses the
outer ring as the bookkeeping boundary. Old three-arg constructor
becomes a thin wrapper: this(cx, cy, radius, radius) — no behaviour
change, 25 pre-existing streaming tests still pass.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Code review on commit 90a2027 flagged that HandleJob silently ignores
load.Kind. Add a TODO(A.5 T11/T16) comment at the case arm so the
unused field reads as a planned stub, not a bug.
No semantic change.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds TwoTierDiff — the five-list output of StreamingRegion.RecenterTo
(ToLoadFar/Near, ToPromote, ToDemote, ToUnload) per spec §4.2. Used by
T3–T6 (StreamingRegion) and T13 (StreamingController).
Extends LandblockStreamJob.Load with a LandblockStreamJobKind parameter
so the streaming worker can route far vs near vs promote jobs differently
(spec §4.3). Patches the one call site in LandblockStreamer.EnqueueLoad
with LoadNear as a placeholder that preserves today's full-load semantics
until T11 activates the worker thread and T16 routes by tier.

Deletes:
- TerrainChunkRenderer.cs (454 lines, replaced by TerrainModernRenderer)
- TerrainRenderer.cs (247 lines, older sibling, no production users)
- terrain.vert / terrain.frag (replaced by terrain_modern.{vert,frag})
Removes the temporary Task 8 perf-benchmark toggle (ACDREAM_LEGACY_TERRAIN
env var, _useLegacyTerrain field, parallel _terrainLegacy renderer
instance, [TERRAIN-DIAG/modern|legacy] label suffix). The modern path
is now the only path. Mirror N.5's mandatory-modern amendment: missing
GL_ARB_bindless_texture throws NotSupportedException at startup
(already in place via the BindlessSupport.TryCreate gate).
Three load-bearing research comments preserved verbatim from terrain.vert
into terrain_modern.vert before deletion: the MIN_FACTOR = 0.0 N-dot-L
floor block (cross-ref Lambert brightness split), the aPacked3 bit
layout, the gl_VertexID corner-table 2026-04-21 ConstructPolygons fix.
Also retires the now-orphaned _shader field (legacy terrain pipeline
was its only user).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Symptom: terrain renders pure black in modern path (legacy renderer
correct). 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.

First diag flush fires ~5s after process start (Environment.TickCount64
threshold), but at that point only 1 sample may have been recorded if
the user is mid-login. The original `copy[copy.Length - nz / 2]` form
underflowed to copy[copy.Length] when nz=1 (nz/2=0), throwing
IndexOutOfRangeException at GameWindow.cs:8799 on the first OnRender
after login.
Fix: use `copy.Length - 1 - (nz - 1) / 2` for median (always >= 0 for
nz >= 1, returns the single sample for nz=1) and clamp the percentile
offset via `(nz - 1) * 0.05` for the same reason.
Caught by user's perf-baseline launch with ACDREAM_LEGACY_TERRAIN=1
(the benchmark toggle from 336ad34). The bug exists in T8 itself
regardless of the toggle.
Build green; existing tests still green.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds an ACDREAM_LEGACY_TERRAIN=1 env var that routes Draw through the
legacy TerrainChunkRenderer instead of the new TerrainModernRenderer.
Both renderers are constructed and fed AddLandblock/RemoveLandblock so
they stay in sync; only one is drawn per frame. The [TERRAIN-DIAG]
log line is labeled /modern or /legacy so the user can tell which
numbers they're capturing.
Removed in Task 9 along with TerrainChunkRenderer.cs, terrain.vert,
and terrain.frag.
Usage:
\$env:ACDREAM_LEGACY_TERRAIN = "1" # legacy mode
\$env:ACDREAM_LEGACY_TERRAIN = \$null # modern mode (default)

Swap TerrainChunkRenderer → TerrainModernRenderer (drop-in: same
AddLandblock/RemoveLandblock/Draw interface). Pass BindlessSupport
to TerrainAtlas.Build so GetBindlessHandles() is callable. Load the
new terrain_modern shader pair and pass to the renderer ctor. Add
[TERRAIN-DIAG] rollup mirroring the existing [WB-DIAG] pattern.
Bindless detection moved above terrain construction so atlas + ctor
can consume BindlessSupport (was previously detected after — order
required for N.5b).
Visual verification at four scenes (Holtburg flat + sloped, Foundry,
sloped landblock) is the next gate.

Code review (Important #1): AddLandblock validated Vertices.Length but
not Indices.Length. 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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The new terrain dispatcher. Single global VBO/EBO with a slot
allocator (one slot per landblock, 384 verts × 40 bytes per slot).
Per-frame: build DEIC array from visible slots, upload, dispatch
via glMultiDrawElementsIndirect. Atlas textures bound via bindless
handles set per-frame as sampler uniforms.
Total ~6-8 GL calls per frame for terrain regardless of visible
landblock count (vs today's per-LB binds at radius=2 → ~25 calls,
radius=5 → ~121 calls).
API mirrors TerrainChunkRenderer so GameWindow integration in T8 is
a drop-in field+ctor swap.

Fragment shader for the modern terrain dispatcher. Bit-identical math
to today's terrain.frag (per-cell maskBlend3 + Phase G fog + lightning
flash). Same #version 460 + GL_ARB_bindless_texture preamble change
as terrain_modern.vert. Sampling syntax unchanged — the bindless-ness
is invisible at the GLSL level.

Vertex shader for the modern terrain dispatcher. Bit-identical math
to today's terrain.vert (Phase 3c per-cell mesh + Phase G AdjustPlanes
lighting). The only structural change is the version + bindless
extension preamble — sampler access stays a regular sampler2DArray
uniform; bindless-ness is invisible at the GLSL level.

Add optional BindlessSupport ctor parameter + GetBindlessHandles()
method that returns (terrainHandle, alphaHandle) ulongs with both
textures made resident. Two-phase Dispose mirroring TextureCache
(MakeNonResident before DeleteTexture per ARB_bindless_texture spec).
Existing callers pass `Build(gl, dats)` unchanged; bindless = null
default keeps them working until T6/T8 wires the renderer.

Final cross-cutting review of N.5 found that Task 15's deletion of
mesh_instanced.vert/.frag left InstancedMeshRenderer orphaned —
ACDREAM_USE_WB_FOUNDATION=0 silently rendered terrain+sky only with
no entities. The SHIP commit's "[x] ACDREAM_USE_WB_FOUNDATION=0 still
works" claim was inaccurate.
Resolution: formal retirement of the legacy renderer path within N.5
instead of deferring to N.6.
Deleted:
- src/AcDream.App/Rendering/InstancedMeshRenderer.cs
- src/AcDream.App/Rendering/StaticMeshRenderer.cs
- src/AcDream.App/Rendering/Wb/WbFoundationFlag.cs
GameWindow simplified — capability detection is unconditional, missing
bindless throws NotSupportedException with a clear message at startup.
WbDrawDispatcher + mesh_modern shader load are mandatory after init.
No escape hatch.
GpuWorldState simplified — WbFoundationFlag.IsEnabled guards on
AddLandblock/RemoveLandblock removed; adapter calls are unconditional
when the adapter is non-null.
PendingSpawnIntegrationTests updated — WbFoundationFlag.ForTestsOnly_ForceEnable
static ctor removed (flag is gone; adapter calls are unconditional).
The ApplyLoadedTerrain physics-data loop was also simplified: the
EnsureUploaded sub-loop that fed InstancedMeshRenderer is gone;
_pendingCellMeshes is now explicitly cleared to prevent unbounded
accumulation (the worker thread still populates it, but WB handles
EnvCell geometry through its own pipeline).
Spec §2 Decision 5 + §10 Out-of-Scope updated. Plan ship-amendment
section added. Roadmap updated (N.5 ships with retirement; N.6 scope
narrowed to perf-only). CLAUDE.md "WB integration cribs" updated.
Perf baseline doc updated. WbDrawDispatcher class summary docstring
corrected to describe the as-shipped SSBO + multi-draw-indirect path.
ISSUES.md #51 updated (terrain not in N.5 scope; deferred to N.7).
Bindless support is now a hard requirement. Modern desktop GPUs
universally expose GL_ARB_bindless_texture + GL_ARB_shader_draw_parameters;
if a user hits the NotSupportedException, that's a real bug report
worth investigating, not a silent fallback.
Build: 0 errors, 0 warnings. Tests: 71/71 (Wb+MatrixComposition+TextureCacheBindless filter).

mesh_instanced.vert + .frag deleted. WbDrawDispatcher always uses
mesh_modern when WB foundation is on. Legacy escape hatch
(ACDREAM_USE_WB_FOUNDATION=0 or bindless missing) runs through
InstancedMeshRenderer which has its own shader path — untouched.
GameWindow's else-branch removed; if bindless is missing, _meshShader
stays unloaded, _wbDrawDispatcher stays null, and _staticMesh is not
constructed (its guard requires _meshShader non-null). All downstream
_staticMesh usages were already null-safe (null-conditional operators
or explicit null guards). Two null-forgiving suppressors added at the
WbDrawDispatcher + SkyRenderer construction sites where the compiler
couldn't prove non-null but the logic guarantees it (both require
_bindlessSupport non-null, which implies _meshShader was assigned;
_textureCache is assigned unconditionally).
InstancedMeshRenderer.cs: the one reference to mesh_instanced was
a code comment (location 3 NOT used by mesh_instanced.vert) — not
a file load. Escape hatch code path is preserved; the shader comment
is now stale but low priority.

Adds median + 95th-percentile CPU + GPU dispatch time to the existing
5-second [WB-DIAG] rollup. CPU via Stopwatch (always running, cheap;
only logged under ACDREAM_WB_DIAG=1). GPU via two GL_TIME_ELAPSED
queries (opaque + transparent) wrapping each glMultiDrawElementsIndirect,
polled non-blocking via QueryResultAvailable on the next frame.
Sample window is 256 frames per signal; median + p95 reported.
Numbers populate the SHIP commit's perf table at Task 19.
Silk.NET naming note: GL_TIME_ELAPSED queries use QueryTarget.TimeElapsed
(confirmed present in Silk.NET.OpenGL 2.23.0 DLL). The 64-bit result is
read via GetQueryObject(..., out ulong) which dispatches to
glGetQueryObjectui64v; the int overload (glGetQueryObjectiv) is used for
the ResultAvailable poll, matching WorldBuilder's VisibilityManager pattern.

Locks in Decision 2 (Opaque + ClipMap → opaque indirect; AlphaBlend +
Additive + InvAlpha → transparent indirect). Catches future refactors
that drift the partition — silent visual regression otherwise (groups
rendered in the wrong pass with the wrong blend state).
Adds public static IsOpaquePublic shim on WbDrawDispatcher; the
underlying IsOpaque stays private.

Replaces WbDrawDispatcher's per-group glDrawElementsInstancedBaseVertexBaseInstance
loop with two glMultiDrawElementsIndirect calls (opaque + transparent).
Per-frame uploads three SSBOs:
- _instanceSsbo @ binding=0 (mat4 per instance, indexed by gl_BaseInstanceARB + gl_InstanceID)
- _batchSsbo @ binding=1 (BatchData per group, indexed by gl_DrawIDARB)
- _indirectBuffer (DrawElementsIndirectCommand[] — opaque first, transparent second)
GameWindow swaps the shader load to mesh_modern when _bindlessSupport
is non-null. Capability detection + shader load now run in the right
order (capability before TextureCache + before Shader).
Deletes the obsolete DrawGroup stub, EnsureInstanceAttribs, _instanceBuffer,
_patchedVaos. ClassifyBatches + ResolveTexture already migrated in
Task 8 to use ulong bindless handles.
BuildIndirectArrays (Task 9) wired in: _opaqueDraws + _translucentDraws
are flattened into IndirectGroupInput[], laid out via the helper into
contiguous indirect commands + parallel BatchData[]. opaqueByteOffset=0,
transparentByteOffset = opaqueCount × DrawCommandStride.
Visual verification (USER GATE) PASS: Holtburg courtyard renders
identical to N.4 — terrain, scenery, characters, NPCs all visible
without artifacts. [N.5] modern path capabilities present + mesh_modern
shader loaded log lines confirm the boot path. [WB-DIAG] hot-path
counters show healthy entity/draw activity.

Code quality review caught:
- sizeofDEIC was a local; promoted to public const DrawCommandStride
so tests can reference it symbolically.
- BatchDataPublic layout invariant (size + field offsets) wasn't
asserted in tests. Added BatchDataPublic_LayoutMatchesPrivateBatchData
+ DrawCommandStride_MatchesStructSize tests to gate Task 10's
MemoryMarshal.Cast<BatchData, BatchDataPublic> safety.
- Plan doc updated: BatchDataPublic spec was Pack=4 (wrong — must
match private BatchData's Pack=8 for the cast to work). Implementation
was already correct; plan now matches.

Pure CPU helper that lays out a group list into a contiguous indirect
buffer (DrawElementsIndirectCommand[]) and parallel BatchData[] —
opaque section first, transparent section second. Returns counts +
byte offset for the transparent section.
Tests cover: spec §5 walk-through layout; empty group list edge case;
ClipMap classification (treated as opaque, not transparent).
Static + public so tests can exercise without a GL context. Task 10
wires it into the rewritten Draw() method.

Replaces uint TextureHandle (32-bit GL name) with ulong
BindlessTextureHandle (64-bit) in InstanceGroup + GroupKey + ResolveTexture
return type. Adds TextureLayer (always 0 for per-instance composites,
becomes meaningful when WB atlas is adopted in N.6).
ClassifyBatches now calls TextureCache.GetOrUpload*Bindless variants —
these return Texture2DArray-backed bindless handles (Task 3 work).
DrawGroup body throws NotImplementedException — Task 10 rewrites the
whole Draw() method to use glMultiDrawElementsIndirect, which makes
DrawGroup obsolete. CPU-only tests don't invoke DrawGroup so the build
+ test gates stay green; visual launch fails until Task 10 (intentional).

Code quality review caught that BatchData uses Pack=4 but contains a
ulong field. With the current field order (TextureHandle first), offset
0 is always 8-byte aligned so std430 works. But adding a 4-byte field
before TextureHandle without bumping Pack would silently misalign the
GPU struct. Pack=8 makes the alignment requirement explicit and adds
a comment documenting expected std430 offsets.
No runtime change — current offsets (0/8/12) are identical under both
Pack values for this field order.

Adds DrawElementsIndirectCommand struct (20-byte layout for
glMultiDrawElementsIndirect). Replaces _instanceVbo field on
WbDrawDispatcher with three buffers: _instanceSsbo (mat4[]),
_batchSsbo (BatchData[]), _indirectBuffer (DEIC[]). Adds BindlessSupport
constructor parameter — non-null required since the dispatcher is only
constructed when WB foundation is on (which implies bindless is present
per Task 6 capability detection).
Existing Draw() method substitutes _instanceVbo -> _instanceSsbo for
compile. Behavior is temporarily wrong (SSBO bound as ArrayBuffer for
per-vertex attribs); Tasks 9-10 fully rewrite the draw loop and the
per-frame uploads to use BindBufferBase + glMultiDrawElementsIndirect.
GameWindow construction site updated to add _bindlessSupport guard and
pass it as the new last argument to the constructor. Dispatcher is only
constructed when bindless is guaranteed present.

Code quality review caught:
- Silent failure when ARB_bindless_texture absent — the && short-circuit
meant the most common fallback case (no bindless on the GPU) had no
log, while ARB_shader_draw_parameters absent did log. Restructured to
three nested ifs so each failure path logs symmetrically.
- Redundant `bindless is not null` guard removed (TryCreate's non-null
guarantee covers it; the nested-if structure makes this implicit).
- HasShaderDrawParameters in BindlessSupport.cs replaced its manual
GL_NUM_EXTENSIONS scan with `gl.IsExtensionPresent(...)` — same
pattern WB uses, less code.

Detects ARB_bindless_texture + ARB_shader_draw_parameters at startup
when WbFoundationFlag is enabled. Stores BindlessSupport on GameWindow
and passes it to TextureCache so the parallel Texture2DArray upload
path is available to future bindless callers.
Mesh shader load remains mesh_instanced for now — Task 10 swaps to
mesh_modern after Tasks 7-9 rewire the dispatcher to consume the
bindless + SSBO + indirect machinery.
Capability missing → BindlessSupport stays null → TextureCache runs
without the bindless path → legacy callers (StaticMeshRenderer,
InstancedMeshRenderer, ParticleRenderer, current WbDrawDispatcher
draw loop) are unaffected.

Code quality review caught four issues:
- Unnecessary GL_ARB_bindless_texture extension in mesh_modern.vert
(vert doesn't use bindless types). Removed; only the frag needs it.
- SSBO binding=1 (BatchBuffer) and UBO binding=1 (SceneLighting) are
in distinct GL namespaces — added a comment in the vert documenting
this so Task 10's bind site doesn't get confused.
- Misleading "0=opaque, 1=transparent" comment expanded to spell out
the full Decision 2 two-pass alpha-test logic and what each discard
threshold protects against.
- BatchData.flags field is reserved; documented that N.5's dispatcher
owns all blend state, with a hook for future shader-side additive.

New entity shaders for the WB modern rendering path. Modeled on WB's
StaticObjectModern.* but adapted to acdream's lighting model:
- Drops uActiveCells (we cull cells on CPU in WbDrawDispatcher)
- Drops uDrawIDOffset (full passes, no pagination)
- Drops uHighlightColor (deferred to Phase B.4 follow-up; field reserved
in InstanceData struct comment)
- Preserves mesh_instanced's SceneLighting UBO at binding=1 with 8 lights,
fog params, lightning flash, per-channel clamp — full visual identity
vert reads InstanceData[] @ binding=0 indexed by gl_BaseInstanceARB +
gl_InstanceID for the per-entity model matrix; reads BatchData[] @
binding=1 indexed by gl_DrawIDARB for the per-group bindless texture
handle + layer.
frag samples sampler2DArray reconstructed from a uvec2 bindless handle
+ uint layer. uRenderPass uniform picks two-pass alpha-test thresholds:
0 = opaque (discard alpha<0.95), 1 = transparent (discard alpha>=0.95
and alpha<0.05).
Not yet wired to the dispatcher — Task 6 sets up shader load + capability
detection in GameWindow; Task 7-10 rewrite the dispatcher to use SSBO +
glMultiDrawElementsIndirect.

Code quality review caught four issues:
- Critical: Dispose interleaved MakeNonResident + DeleteTexture per
entry, violating ARB_bindless_texture's "all handles non-resident
before any texture deletion" requirement. Reordered to two phases:
Phase 1 makes ALL bindless handles non-resident; Phase 2 deletes
ALL bindless textures; Phase 3 deletes legacy Texture2D textures.
- Important: per-call _bindless?.MakeNonResident replaced with a
single if (_bindless is not null) guard around the whole Phase 1
block — cleaner reasoning, one null check.
- Minor: test contract comment referenced wrong task number for
visual gate; corrected to match current plan.
- Minor: two abbreviated XML docs (GetOrUploadWithOrigTextureOverrideBindless,
GetOrUploadWithPaletteOverrideBindless) expanded to mention the
throw-on-null-bindless contract for IDE readers.
This fixup also completes Task 4's Dispose work — Task 4 will be
marked complete since this commit does its full job.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds three Bindless variants (GetOrUploadBindless,
GetOrUploadWithOrigTextureOverrideBindless,
GetOrUploadWithPaletteOverrideBindless) that decode + upload via
UploadRgba8AsLayer1Array (Texture2DArray) and cache in three new
dictionaries that mirror the legacy three-cache structure. Each entry
stores both the GL texture name (for Dispose cleanup in Task 4) and
the resident bindless handle.
Constructor gains optional BindlessSupport param; null keeps backward
compat. EnsureBindlessAvailable throws InvalidOperationException if
Bindless* methods are called without BindlessSupport (fail-fast vs
silent zero handle that would produce GPU faults).
Dispose extended to make handles non-resident before deleting the
underlying Texture2DArray names (bindless handles must be made
non-resident before the texture is deleted; skipping this causes
GPU faults on driver cleanup).
Marker test in TextureCacheBindlessTests documents the throw contract
for future engineers; real bindless integration is verified at
Task 14's visual gate.

Code quality review caught that the TexImage3D call dropped the
depth: and border: named arguments specified in the plan. The bare
positional `1, 0` is hard to disambiguate from the surrounding 10
parameters. Adds them back, no runtime change.
