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/.

Moves the mesh/EnvCell draw path's per-batch texture representation from a
64-bit ARB_bindless_texture handle to a small integer table index, entirely
on the still-shipping GL backend, with zero pixel change. This is the CPU-side
half of the eventual Vulkan descriptor-array indexing model: a table index is
the backend-neutral form (Vulkan indexes a descriptor array with it directly),
while a raw bindless handle is GL-only. Landing the data-model change now, on
GL, under a strict self-differential pixel gate, keeps it separate from V4c's
much larger RHI-plumbing change (see docs/plans/2026-07-27-vulkan-campaign.md
section 5.2 for why the table cannot be device-owned yet).
Mechanism: mesh_modern.vert's BatchData struct carries `textureIndex` (a slot)
instead of `textureHandle` (uvec2); the vertex shader looks the slot up in a
new binding=9 storage buffer (GpuBindingModel.StorageTextureTable) and passes
the reconstructed uvec2 handle to the fragment shader exactly as before, so
mesh_modern.frag needed no change at all beyond the UBO-set macro below. The
16-byte std430 stride is unchanged (GpuBindingModel.GpuBatchDataStrideBytes);
textureLayer/flags keep their offsets, so every existing CPU writer's layout
is untouched.
The handle->slot table (GlBindlessHandleTable, new, pure C#) is owned
separately by WbDrawDispatcher and EnvCellRenderer rather than shared through
a single TextureCache-owned instance: EnvCellRenderer never had a TextureCache
dependency, and nothing requires index agreement between renderers since each
rebinds its own binding=9 buffer immediately before its own draw call. This
avoided threading a new constructor parameter through EnvCellRenderer (and its
six test call sites) for no behavioral benefit. TextureCache and
CompositeTextureArrayCache turned out to need no changes at all: they only
ever produce raw ulong handles, and that production path is unaffected -
the new indirection is entirely a WbDrawDispatcher/EnvCellRenderer-side
concern, added exactly where each already assembles its per-batch GPU struct
(ToInput, the copy-back loop, PrepareDeferredAlphaDraws for the
RetailAlphaQueue path, and EnvCellRenderer's ModernBatchData construction).
The table itself is a single non-ring buffer (unlike the per-frame
triple-buffered SSBOs) because a genuinely new handle is rare - new dat
surfaces/composite overrides, not every frame - so it flushes only when
GlBindlessHandleTable.Dirty is set, mirroring how the existing texture caches
already upload infrequently.
Shader-side, introduced Rendering/Shaders/common.glsl as the shared preamble
GL has no #include for: Shader.cs gained an `includeCommonPreamble` overload
that splices the file's text in after the leading #version/#extension block
(GLSL requires #version first). It declares the binding=9 table plus the
ACDREAM_TEXTURE_HANDLE(idx) lookup macro, and a scaffolding ACDREAM_UBO_SET
macro (a no-op under GL today, redefined to `set = 1,` when the Vulkan
toolchain compiles this same source at V6+, per the campaign doc's set-1 UBO
note) applied to both SceneLighting UBO declarations now so no later slice
needs to touch them again.
Tests: WbDrawDispatcherIndirectBuilderTests updated for the renamed
IndirectGroupInput/BatchDataPublic fields; new ModernBatchDataLayoutTests
(mirrors ClipFrameLayoutTests' role, but for EnvCellRenderer's GPU struct) and
GlBindlessHandleTableTests (pure-CPU allocator behavior, including the
zero-handle case, which is registered like any other handle rather than
special-cased, since that's what reproduces the pre-V2 sampling result
bit-for-bit).
Gate: dotnet build -c Release green, dotnet test
tests/AcDream.App.Tests -c Release green (3843 passed / 3 skipped, +9 over
the 3834/3 baseline), and tools/run-offline-pixel-gate.ps1 passed with a
2.84e-05 differing-pixel fraction against the parent commit - within the
documented ~33x same-commit noise margin. No divergence-register row: this
introduces no retail behavior deviation.

Lands the working A8 indoor-rendering and streaming fixes accumulated this
session. User has verified these visually to some degree (e.g. lifestone /
translucent meshes confirmed fine under the FrontFace flip; bridge / wall /
collision regressions confirmed fixed after travel); not every path has been
exhaustively gated. The cellar-flap defect remains OPEN and will be solved
the retail-faithful way via a dedicated brainstorm (see handoff docs).
Rendering core (reviewed, high confidence):
- EnvCellRenderer SSBO stride fix: upload packed Matrix4x4[] (64B) instead of
the 80B CPU InstanceData struct the shader never expected — fixes the
transform/texture "explosion" for any draw with >1 instance (cells that
dedupe to a shared cellGeomId). Real root cause.
- WB-style global FrontFace(CW) + per-batch CullMode carried through the MDI
layout (GroupKey + BuildIndirectArrays + DrawIndirectRange split into
same-cull runs with absolute uDrawIDOffset per run).
- EntitySet partitioning (IndoorPass / OutdoorScenery / LiveDynamic) +
WorldEntity.BuildingShellAnchorCellId so building shells scope to their
dat-derived building cell instead of rendering everywhere.
- RenderOutsideInAcdream (look into buildings from outside) +
CollectVisiblePortalBuildings frustum cull of portal bounds.
- Sky-when-inside-building + per-cell audit probe + GL-state probe.
Streaming / perf (test-covered; not independently code-reviewed this session):
- Near/far priority queues so near work wins over far; PromoteToNear carries
full landblock + mesh data; LandblockEntriesWithoutAnimatedIndex avoids
rebuilding the animated-lookup dict in the hot draw path. Fixes the
bridge-not-appearing / missing-walls / broken-collision-after-travel
regressions and improves post-transition FPS.
Tooling + docs:
- tools/A8CellAudit: offline dat cell/portal/building dumper (portals +
buildings modes) — reproduces the cellar-flap investigation with no launch.
- docs/research cellar-flap root-cause + option-2 handoff (the didInsideStencil
double-duty finding + the WB-recursive design decision + brainstorm prompt),
entity-taxonomy, replan, issue-78 visibility investigation.
Diagnostics retained on purpose: ACDREAM_A8_DIAG_* gates, portal_stencil.vert
provisional pos.w clamp, and the probe families are kept (env-var gated, zero
cost when off) because the pending option-2 cellar-flap brainstorm needs them.
Strip in the option-2 ship commit.
Indoor branch stays behind ACDREAM_A8_INDOOR_BRANCH=1 (default off = pre-A8
visual). Build green; App tests + Core (streaming/dispatcher/loader) tests pass.

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.
