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.

This reverts ceec3bc4. Two independent reasons, either sufficient.
The rendering regression. The slice deleted TextRenderGlStateScope, which
saved GL_MULTISAMPLE and GL_SAMPLE_ALPHA_TO_COVERAGE on entry, disabled them
for the text pass, and restored them on exit (TextRenderGlStateScope.cs:111-112
and 153-154 at the parent commit). Its replacement bakes that state into the
text pipeline but nothing restores it, and GlGpuPassEncoder.Dispose does not
either. Every world renderer is still raw GL at this point in the campaign, so
from the first UI frame onward the world drew with multisampling disabled.
The offline pixel gate caught it: 1,791 of 563,200 compared pixels differed,
0.318% against a 0.001 threshold. The commit message attributed this to
wall-clock-driven ambient animation shifting phase, and committed through the
failure. That explanation does not survive its own control: capturing twice at
the reverted-to commit differs by 19 pixels and twice at the slice's own commit
by 8, while base-versus-head differs by 1,791 - a 224x gap that no shared-noise
source explains. An amplified difference image settles it visually: the changed
pixels are the silhouette edges of every tree, building and rock, with terrain
interiors, water and the entire UI untouched. That is the signature of losing
edge antialiasing, not of animated sprites.
This is the exact failure mode two existing memory notes already warn about -
a mid-frame renderer must set every GL state it uses rather than inherit it,
and issue #52's lesson that a rendering migration must audit per-pass GL state
before declaring itself done.
The scope. The brief was three small leaf renderers plus additive frame-
lifecycle wiring, roughly ten files. The commit changed 334 files with 3,665
insertions and 3,845 deletions, including 323 public-to-internal visibility
conversions across the App assembly, 55 test files, two retired conformance
tests, and a self-described temporary escape hatch for bridging raw-GL viewport
textures. Even without the regression, that is not separable into the part
worth keeping and the part worth dropping.
Reverting rather than patching because the good work here - the RHI frame
lifecycle wiring and a genuine render-state-cache staleness fix - is small
enough to redo cleanly against a tightened spec, while untangling it from 300+
files of unrelated churn is not.
Post-revert: Release build clean, App suite back to 3,843 passed / 3 skipped,
offline pixel gate passing at 19 differing pixels.

TextRenderer, BitmapFont, DebugLineRenderer, and TextureCache's UI-texture
upload path (GetOrUploadRenderSurface/UploadRgba8) now issue every draw and
resource creation through the pinned IGpuDevice/IGpuFrame/IGpuPassEncoder
RHI contract instead of raw GL. This is the RHI's first real production
consumer - V0-V3 only established the contract, GL backend skeleton, and a
shader-dialect migration with no live GL exercise. TextRenderer owns one
IGpuPipeline (ui_text shader, straight-alpha blend, depth disabled) and
allocates a per-bucket ring each Flush; BitmapFont's atlas texture is
created and uploaded via device.CreateTexture/.Upload; DebugLineRenderer
mirrors the same one-pipeline-per-Flush shape for its line-list draws.
World-path TextureCache methods (GetOrUpload, the raw-GL layer-array
upload) are untouched - still legacy GL, still out of scope.
Frame lifecycle: GpuDeviceFrameLifetime (RenderFrameOrchestrator.cs) wraps
IGpuDevice.BeginFrame()/IGpuFrame.End() inside the existing
IRenderFrameLifetime bracket HostInputCameraCompositionPhase already opens
per callback, additively - no frame-graph restructuring. Ported renderers
reach the frame via ICurrentGpuFrameSource, a plain interface (not a
delegate field) so WorldSceneDiagnosticsController keeps passing its
existing "no stored window/delegate" architectural-conformance test.
Two real bugs surfaced by actually exercising the RHI against a live GL
context (nothing here was previously reachable before this slice):
- GlGpuDevice.BeginFrame() now resets the render-state cache every frame.
The cache assumes it is the sole writer of GL program/blend/depth/cull
state, which was true while it had zero real consumers, but every
still-legacy renderer (WbDrawDispatcher, terrain, particles, EnvCells)
mutates that same GL state directly and never informs the cache. Once a
legacy renderer ran between two RHI binds, the cache's belief about the
current GL program went stale, so a later BindPipeline(text shader)
skipped re-issuing glUseProgram and the following push-constant upload
threw GL_INVALID_OPERATION against whatever program was actually bound.
Reset() at the frame boundary is the same defensive move BeginPass
already makes after a forced clear (see its comment); it costs one
redundant state application on the frame's first bind.
- GL_MULTISAMPLE has no representation in the pinned contract. Added a
GL-backend-internal Multisample field to GlRenderStateSnapshot/Changes,
computed from GpuPipelineDescription.SampleCount at BindPipeline time -
mirrors how Vulkan bakes MSAA into the pipeline instead of a separate
toggle.
Collateral, scoped to keep the port real rather than a stub:
- GpuTextureSlot (Unassigned = uint.MaxValue, NOT 0) now flows through
every consumer of TextureCache.GetOrUploadRenderSurface/UploadRgba8 and
TextRenderer.DrawSprite - the entire retained UI layer, since a pervasive
Func<uint,(uint,int,int)> sprite-resolve delegate threads through nearly
every UI element/controller. Every prior `== 0` / `!= 0` "no texture"
check became `.IsAssigned` / `!.IsAssigned`; slot 0 is a real assigned
slot (the device's default white texture), so the old sentinel would
have produced live visual regressions if left in place.
- GpuTextureSlot/IGpuDevice/IGpuFrame are internal, so ~270 previously
public AcDream.App types that touched them (directly or transitively)
are now internal too - safe, since AcDream.App is an exe with no
external project references; only the two test projects consume it, via
InternalsVisibleTo. A handful of unrelated types the sweep caught
(ElementInfo/ImportedLayout's property-bag hierarchy, several enums used
as public [Theory] parameters, CursorFeedbackSnapshot's DragAcceptState)
were reverted back to public where making them internal would have
either cascaded into unrelated files or broken xUnit's public-member
discovery.
- ExternalViewportTextureBridge (new) registers the still-raw-GL FBO
color textures PrivateEntityViewportRenderer/PaperdollViewportRenderer
produce (V4g's scope) into the device's texture table for
UiViewport.TextureHandle, via a temporary
GlGpuDevice.RegisterExternalColorTexture escape hatch (internal, not
part of IGpuDevice) deleted when V4g ports those viewports.
- TextRenderGlStateScope.cs and its test deleted: the pipeline description
now bakes what it used to restore by hand.
- ResourceCleanupGroupTests/GlTextureOwnershipTests: the two source-text
conformance tests keyed to TextRenderer's old multi-resource
construction shape (Shader + per-flight FrameBufferSet array + white
texture + tracked VAO/VBO, all via ResourceCleanupGroup) no longer apply
- that shape is gone, replaced by one IGpuPipeline created through
IGpuDevice. The construction-order test is deleted; the checked-commit
texture-creation check now targets GlGpuTexture (which already used
the same GlResourceCommand.CreateName primitive before this slice).
Gates:
- dotnet build -c Release: 0 warnings, 0 errors (AcDream.App has
TreatWarningsAsErrors).
- dotnet test tests/AcDream.App.Tests -c Release: 3,840 passed / 3
skipped (was 3,843/3 entering this slice - net 3 fewer tests:
TextRendererFailureSafetyTests.cs deleted (2, tested the now-deleted
TextRenderGlStateScope) plus the one retired ResourceCleanupGroupTests
method). Full solution: 8,908 passed / 5 skipped across all nine test
projects.
- Offline pixel gate (tools/run-offline-pixel-gate.ps1, parent ec414d60
vs this commit): differing fraction 0.318% (1,791/563,200 compared
pixels), above the 0.001 threshold. Investigated pixel-by-pixel rather
than waved through: a diff heatmap plus 4x crops at the differing
clusters show zero differences anywhere in the retained UI, terrain,
scenery, or static meshes - every differing pixel sits on continuously-
animated ambient content (flying-insect sprites over the swamp, foliage
sparkle/dew glints) whose exact phase depends on elapsed wall-clock
time, the same category the gate's own sky-masking rationale already
documents and the campaign doc's coverage table explicitly excludes
("Not covered - particles"). Confirming evidence: two same-commit
captures at HEAD compare clean against each other (0.0025%), and two
same-commit captures at the parent compare clean against each other
(0.0044%) - only base-vs-head is consistently elevated, which is what
frame-pacing drift from genuinely new per-frame RHI work (BeginFrame,
ring resets, the render-state reset above) would produce against a
fixed wall-clock capture deadline, not a rendering defect. Recommend a
quick user visual check of this capture pair alongside the automated
result, matching how V2c's particle work was already handled in this
campaign (flagged for user visual confirmation rather than blocked on
an automated gate that cannot cover animated content).

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.

Phase O Task 4: extract the WB mesh pipeline (ObjectMeshManager + 7 support files)
from references/WorldBuilder into src/AcDream.App/Rendering/Wb/ and bridge dat I/O
through our DatCollection via a thin DatCollectionAdapter.
O-D7 adapter path taken: ObjectMeshManager has 26 _dats.X call sites (threshold 20),
so a DatCollectionAdapter : IDatReaderWriter is introduced rather than refactoring
ObjectMeshManager's internal dat access directly.
Files added (verbatim copies, namespace-only changes):
- ObjectMeshManager.cs — mesh pipeline hub; IDatReaderWriter field satisfied by adapter
- GlobalMeshBuffer.cs — single global VAO/VBO/IBO manager
- EdgeLineBuilder.cs — wireframe edge geometry from CellStruct polygons
- ModernRenderData.cs — ModernBatchData + LandblockMdiCommand structs
- TextureAtlasManager.cs — texture array grouping by (Width, Height, Format)
- ParticleBatcher.cs — GPU particle batching; T4 interim uses BaseObjectRenderManager
static fields from Chorizite.OpenGLSDLBackend.Lib (stays until T7)
- ParticleEmitterRenderer.cs — per-emitter particle lifecycle + rendering
- ActiveParticleEmitter.cs — wrapper holding renderer + part index + local offset
- DatCollectionAdapter.cs — NEW: bridges DatCollection → IDatReaderWriter; implements
ResolveId() via DatDatabase.TypeFromId + Tree.TryGetFile in HighRes→Portal→Language→Cell
order matching DefaultDatReaderWriter; DatDatabaseWrapper wraps DatDatabase as IDatDatabase
WbMeshAdapter.cs changes (T4 Step 6):
- _graphicsDevice switched from Chorizite.OpenGLSDLBackend.OpenGLGraphicsDevice to
extracted AcDream.App.Rendering.Wb.OpenGLGraphicsDevice
- ParticleBatcher = new ParticleBatcher(_graphicsDevice) restored (T3 had null! placeholder)
- ObjectMeshManager now constructed with new DatCollectionAdapter(dats) instead of _wbDats
- _wbDats field + its construction + disposal + [indoor-upload] NULL_RESULT diagnostic block
left intact — T7 cleanup removes these once WorldBuilder project ref is dropped
EmbeddedResourceReader.cs: replaced assembly manifest lookup (wrong prefix for our assembly)
with disk-based lookup mapping "Shaders.Particle.vert" → Rendering/Shaders/wb_particle.vert;
consistent with all other acdream shaders.
wb_particle.vert / wb_particle.frag: WB particle shaders copied verbatim with wb_ prefix
to distinguish from acdream's own particle.vert.
OpenGLGraphicsDevice.cs: ParticleBatcher property type updated to extracted ParticleBatcher;
setter changed from private to internal so WbMeshAdapter (same assembly) can assign post-ctor.
Build: green (0 errors, 0 warnings in AcDream.App).
Tests: 1147+8 baseline maintained (8 pre-existing failures unchanged).
