Commit 2 deleted the GL rendering backend's implementations; this step
removes the package references and shader vocabulary they leave behind,
so nothing in the App project still spells Silk.NET.OpenGL.
Silk.NET.OpenGL and Silk.NET.OpenGL.Extensions.ARB are dropped from
AcDream.App.csproj. Chorizite.Core stays — the audit is NOT clean: its
Render.Enums (TextureFormat, BufferUsage) and Lib.BoundingBox types are
used directly and extensively across the Wb texture/mesh pipeline,
independent of the deleted GL IUniformBuffer implementers the package
comment used to cite. The stale comment is corrected in place.
IMeshPipelineDevice.Gl is removed along with the GL? gl parameter
threaded through WbMeshAdapter's four constructors, WorldRenderComposition's
CreateMeshAdapter, and VulkanMeshPipelineDevice's Gl => null
implementation — nothing read any of them once the legacy per-mesh
upload bodies were gone (confirmed by grep: the sole non-doc-comment hit
was a test assertion). While in WbMeshAdapter.Dispose(), found and fixed
a real bug along the way: its teardown still pattern-matched the deleted
GL GpuFrameFlightController to decide whether to wait for submitted work,
which VulkanFrameFlightController replaced at slice V6a without this site
being updated — so the wait had been silently dead on every Vulkan run
since then. Retargeted to VulkanFrameFlightController, which carries the
same WaitForSubmittedWork().
The GL pixel-format vocabulary (Silk.NET.OpenGL.PixelFormat/PixelType) that
WorldTextureArray/TextureFormatExtensions/TextureAtlasManager used for
upload validation is replaced by AcDream.Content's existing Silk.NET-free
UploadPixelFormat/UploadPixelType enums (added at MP1a to keep the bake
tool GL-free); two new members (Rgb, Red, Float) extend that enum with
their GL ABI constants to cover the full vocabulary WorldTextureArray
needs, since MP1a's original set only covered what the extractor itself
emits. ObjectMeshManager's App-boundary cast
`(Silk.NET.OpenGL.PixelFormat?)batch.UploadPixelFormat` becomes a direct
pass-through now that both sides share the type.
GpuBindingModel.StorageTextureTable (the GL-only binding=9 emulation of
the Vulkan texture table) is deleted and StorageBindingCount drops from
10 to 9; the descriptor-set-layout code that builds from that count
(VulkanPipelineLayouts, VulkanFrameBindings) is untouched and just
allocates one fewer always-dummy-seeded, always-unused binding.
Several fully dead GL-only classes came along for the ride, confirmed by
zero construction sites: SilkFramebufferViewportTarget
(NullFramebufferViewportTarget is the sole production
IFramebufferViewportTarget), SilkRenderGlStateReader
(NullRenderGlStateReader.Instance is the sole IRenderGlStateReader),
RuntimeRenderFrameClearPhase (VulkanRenderFrameClearPhase is the sole
IRenderFrameClearPhase, expressing the same atmosphere-clear logic as a
pass load-op instead), and GpuFrameTimer plus FrameProfiler's
GL-owning FrameBoundary(GL) overload and BeginGpuFrame/EndGpuFrame
bracket (RecordGpuSample is the only GPU-timing path any backend uses
now — the ACDREAM_WB_DIAG nested-query exclusion these existed for no
longer applies, since WbDrawDispatcher's own diagnostic GPU sampling
already moved to the device's Vulkan timer pool). GpuFrameFlightController
itself stays (never constructed with a real fence API in production, but
its retirement-ledger/serial-ring logic is backend-neutral and still
covered by its own unit tests) — only its GL-specific parts (the public
GL constructor overload, SilkGpuFenceApi) are deleted, since removing the
whole class would mean restructuring the frozen Slice-8 composition
shape's GpuFrameFlightController? threading, which is out of this
commit's scope. TextureParameters.cs and BufferUsageExtensions.cs
(zero callers each) are deleted outright.
common.glsl is deleted: nothing in the actual Vulkan .spv build reads
it. tools/ShaderCompiler/Program.cs compiles each .vert/.frag pair
directly and tools/ShaderCompiler/VulkanGlslPreamble.cs injects its own
complete self-contained preamble per file; common.glsl's textual
concatenation was exclusively Shader.cs's GL-only mechanism, deleted at
Commit 2. The five shader files that named it in comments
(mesh_modern.vert, particle.vert, particle.frag, sky.frag,
terrain_modern.frag) are corrected to point at VulkanGlslPreamble.cs
instead. mesh.vert/mesh.frag — the pre-N.5 legacy shader pair the
mandatory modern path already made unreachable, with zero C# consumers
and no compiled .spv — are deleted too. Regenerated via
tools/compile-shaders.ps1: 9/9 remaining shader pairs compile
(previously 9/10, with mesh the sole failure — the VulkanShaderManifestTests
doc comment's "nine of ten are not Vulkan-expressible" was already
stale before this commit).
Test fallout: dead-subject test methods/files are deleted rather than
patched (TextRendererFailureSafetyTests.cs, ClipFrameUploadTests.cs,
GpuResourceRetirementTransactionTests.cs's GL queue tests, one
WorldRenderDiagnosticsTests source-order test, one
RenderFrameResourceControllerTests clear-phase-order test); tests whose
subject moved or was renamed are updated in place rather than deleted
(GpuContractTests, VulkanCapabilityGateTests, MeshPipelineDeviceSeamTests'
pinned seven-member surface now reads six, ParticleBindlessInstanceTests'
cross-dialect check now covers the one surviving dialect,
WbMeshAdapterTests' misleadingly-named null-gl test — gpuDevice was
always the parameter that actually threw).
Build: `dotnet build AcDream.slnx -c Release` — 0 warnings, 0 errors,
with the Silk.NET.OpenGL/.Extensions.ARB package references physically
removed from the csproj (not just unreferenced in code).
Tests: full-solution `dotnet test` green across every project.
Zero remaining `using Silk.NET.OpenGL` anywhere in src/ or tests/.

Vulkan is the sole, user-signed-off backend (V10 landed) and step 1
already removed ImGui/Studio/DevTools. This step deletes the GL
rendering backend itself: every Gpu/Gl/** implementation, the Wb
ManagedGL*/GLHelpers/GLSLShader/GLStateScope/RenderStateCache/
BindlessSupport family, Shader/ShaderProgramConstruction/SamplerCache,
RenderBootstrap, and RenderFrameGlStateController.
GameWindow.cs's Run()/CreateGraphics()/CreateBackbufferReader()/
OnLoad() collapse to their Vulkan-only arm; GameWindowGraphics loses
its OpenGlGameWindowGraphics subclass. RuntimeOptions.RenderBackend and
RenderBackendKind (incl. the Gl member of GpuBackendKind) are gone —
there is nothing left to select between. The five world-draw dual-arm
renderers (WbDrawDispatcher, EnvCellRenderer, TerrainModernRenderer,
ParticleRenderer, SkyRenderer) and the composition roots
(WorldRenderComposition, HostInputCameraComposition,
LivePresentationComposition, FrameRootComposition) collapse to their
RHI-only arm. GL-only diagnostic properties with a live external reader
(DynamicBufferCount and friends) simplify to a documented `=> 0`/no-op
rather than disappearing, since the reader is out of this commit's
scope.
A few GL-flavored mechanisms turned out to be backend-neutral once
isolated: GlConstructionCleanupLedger is renamed
ResourceConstructionCleanupLedger (exception-chain walking has nothing
to do with GL), and GlfwNativePlatformProbe moved out of the otherwise
GL-only GraphicalCapabilityRecord.cs into
GraphicalWindowBackendSelection.cs before the rest of that file was
deleted.
Test files with no surviving subject are deleted outright
(GraphicalCapabilityRequirementsTests, ShaderProgramConstructionTests,
PortalDepthShaderParityTests, TextureCacheBindlessTests,
TextRendererFailureSafetyTests, ClipFrameUploadTests, every
Gpu/Gl/*Tests, GlTextureOwnershipTests, RenderFrameGlStateControllerTests);
others get their dead GL-only members trimmed while their live
assertions stay (ClipFrameLayoutTests' MeshClipSsboBinding check now
reads GpuBindingModel.StorageClipRegions, the same binding index under
its new backend-neutral name; GpuResourceRetirementTransactionTests
drops its OpenGLGraphicsDevice-subclassing test double and the two GL
queue tests it existed for). EnvCellRendererTests' construction helper
now builds a real ObjectMeshManager via VulkanMeshPipelineDevice
instead of passing null through a null-forgiving operator, since the
RHI constructor never tolerated a null mesh manager and the old GL
constructor (which did) is gone.
Deferred to the next two steps, deliberately not touched here: the
Silk.NET.OpenGL/.Extensions.ARB package references, IMeshPipelineDevice.Gl
(WbMeshAdapter's GL? threading stays in place), Chorizite.Core's stale
csproj comment (the package itself is still load-bearing —
TextureFormat and friends are used well beyond the deleted
ManagedGLUniformBuffer), and the CI/gate scripts.
Build: `dotnet build AcDream.slnx -c Release` — 0 warnings, 0 errors.
Tests: full-solution `dotnet test` green across every project
(App.Tests 3937/3940 + 3 skips, Core.Tests 3296/3298 + 2 skips, all
others 100%); the 2 App.Tests names that flake under full-suite
parallel execution (#250-family, documented pre-existing) pass in
isolation.

V6i-2 cut IMeshPipelineDevice at the measured surface and proved the mesh
pipeline could be CONSTRUCTED without naming a backend. It said plainly what it
did not claim: "the mesh pipeline does not RUN on Vulkan. Its upload bodies are
still raw GL — GlobalMeshBuffer, the VAO/IBO construction, the layer transfers."
This moves them, and gives the interface its second implementation.
GlobalMeshBuffer takes GL?. The two backing stores were already IGpuBuffer
(V4b); what still needed a context was the vertex array and the attribute
pointers, which have no RHI verb because Vulkan bakes vertex input into the
pipeline. So a backend with none builds the stores and nothing else, publishes
0 for VAO/VBO/IBO, and publishes VertexStore/IndexStore — the same buffers,
named the way a pass encoder binds them. HasStores is the backend-neutral form
of the VAO != 0 readiness test the raw-GL draw paths make. Two bodies fork on
the context and nothing else does: InitBuffers skips the vertex array, and
CommitMigration skips the rebind — on the encoder arm the field swap IS the
atomic publication, because the next pass reads whatever the field then holds.
The store deletion likewise splits: GL keeps its immediate DeleteRetired,
because the arena's own flight gate has already proven no submitted frame can
reference the store, while the other arm has no second deferral to skip and
Dispose is its retirement-queued release.
ObjectMeshManager's RequireGl narrowed to the LEGACY per-mesh upload. Its three
call sites were one modern-path constructor argument and two bodies whose every
GL statement sits inside `if (!_useModernRendering)`. The constructor now hands
the arena the nullable context; the two bodies resolve one lazily inside the
legacy branch. That branch is unreachable in every shipping configuration —
missing bindless or draw-parameters throws at startup under the N.5 ship
amendment — so the accessor survives as the guard on dead code rather than as a
blocker, and it is deleted with that code.
VulkanMeshPipelineDevice is the second implementation, and it is four
properties and two no-ops. Two things about it are worth stating rather than
leaving to be inferred. HasBindless and HasOpenGL43 answer TRUE: their names are
GL-shaped because the seam was cut from a GL device, but what they gate is the
MODERN path — one shared arena, table texture indexing, multi-draw indirect —
which Vulkan supplies unconditionally and the capability gate rejects a device
for lacking, so answering false would disable the only path that exists.
HasPendingWork answers false because the GL device's queue exists to defer work
onto the thread holding the context, and Vulkan resource work is recorded into
the frame's command buffer or routed through the retirement queue.
WbMeshAdapter selects between them once, in the one place the mesh pipeline
still names a backend. The GL arm is unchanged, including the queue-drain
guarantee its construction rollback asserts.
So composition builds the mesh pipeline on BOTH arms, and NullWbMeshAdapter is
deleted — it existed for exactly the gap this closes, and the landblock spawn
ledger now registers against the real adapter. Streaming's publication into GPU
state stops being a no-op there: the Vulkan run below builds real render data,
including the [up-null] zero-vertex caching path.
Gates. Release build green. App tests 4,112 passed / 3 skipped, against a 4,109
baseline plus the three added here. Strict GL offline pixel gate against
579e0b7f: 4.44e-05 (25 differing pixels of 563,200), inside the documented 9-31
px control band and 22x under the 0.001 threshold. One offline Vulkan run with
VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation proven inserted by the loader (VK_LOADER_DEBUG=layer
reports `Insert instance layer "VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation"`): zero validation
errors, zero warnings, a captured frame, and no [shutdown] diagnostic on either
stream.
What this does NOT claim: nothing draws the world on Vulkan yet. The three
world renderers' submission arms, the two pass executors, and the pass-structure
merge are the next commit's.
No divergence-register row: no retail-facing behaviour changes.

Plan §5.5.10 recorded the blocker as a fact about types: "WbMeshAdapter owns an
OpenGLGraphicsDevice, so it is not constructible on Vulkan until slice V4t" —
which is the entire reason NullWbMeshAdapter exists. §5.5.12 item 6 then measured
how wide that dependency really is, and the answer is seven members out of a
760-line class: a GL context, the retirement queue, the shared instance VBO, and
two capability flags.
IMeshPipelineDevice is exactly that surface. OpenGLGraphicsDevice declares it and
every member already existed under a GL-specific name, so the shipping backend
executes not one changed statement — these are aliases, not behaviour.
Two casts moved, and they are what actually blocked construction:
- ObjectMeshManager downcast IGpuDevice to GlGpuDevice in its CONSTRUCTOR, so a
Vulkan-composed pipeline threw before running a statement. V4t put it there
because the class registered bindless handles itself; commit 2 moved that into
the array, leaving the field a pass-through for the raw-GL renderers' handle
table. The cast now lives on that one property and names the backend it was
composed against instead of reporting a failed cast.
- The atlas array factory is selected by IWorldTextureArrayFactory.For, which is
the one place the texture stack branches on a backend.
MeshPipelineDeviceSeamTests proves the decoupling rather than describing it: it
builds ObjectMeshManager against a device whose Gl is null, asserts it constructs,
asserts construction built no GL object, asserts the handle table refuses by name,
and asserts the factory picks the RHI arm. A reflection test pins the seam's
member set so a later slice cannot quietly widen it back out — the whole value
here is that it is narrow.
What this does NOT claim: the mesh pipeline does not RUN on Vulkan. Its upload
bodies are still raw GL — GlobalMeshBuffer, the VAO/IBO construction, the layer
transfers — and they now fail through one RequireGl() accessor that names the
slice that owns porting them, instead of failing at construction. WbMeshAdapter
still creates an OpenGLGraphicsDevice in its GL constructor, because there is no
second implementation to create yet. Those bodies are items 3–5 of §5.5.12's
remainder list, along with RetailPViewPassExecutor and the three world renderers'
submission arms.
§5.5.13 reports the whole of V6i-2 and the slice table gains its V6i row.
Gates: Release build; App tests 4,109 / 3 skips (the 4,086 baseline plus 23 across
the three commits); complete Release suite 9,172 / 5; strict GL offline pixel gate
vs 0ca802cd 1.60e-05 (9 px of 563,200 — the low end of the documented 9–31 px
control band, and fewer than a same-commit control has measured); GL connected
tools/run-repeat-connected-gate.ps1 -Runs 3 at 3/3 RENDERED on the desktop witness
and 3/3 on the client capture; one Vulkan composition-host run with
VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation proven inserted by the loader at zero errors, zero
warnings, no [shutdown] diagnostic, and a captured frame.
