9aaf97e785 Revert "Campaign V slice V4a" - it lost world multisampling
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.

ceec3bc440 feat(render): Campaign V slice V4a - port TextRenderer/BitmapFont/DebugLineRenderer/TextureCache onto IGpuDevice
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).

068a06518d perf(physics): cut production traversal to flat assets
Make prepared flat BSP data authoritative for gameplay while retaining the parsed graph only as an exact sampled referee. Fail production publication when collision package data is genuinely absent, keep idempotent already-cached publication valid, and move cell membership, floor lookup, camera diagnostics, and live/static shape bounds onto the flat representation.

Validated by 8,402 Release tests, a strict dense-Arwic connected gate with 46,309/46,309 exact referee matches, and graceful shutdown.

c7069cf0b6 diag(camera): add F6 in/out eye to [flap-sweep] probe
Logs SweepEye input (desiredEye) vs output (eye) at micrometre precision. Used to prove the indoor flap is NOT the camera: the eye is smooth (clean one-way pass = 3/18 direction-changes over 25.7k frames) and ~1um stable at rest, yet the visible-cell count oscillates 414x with 648 clip=0 near edge-on doorways. The flap is the flood/clip's edge-on behaviour, not the eye.

9e70031bc6 feat(A): wire SweepEye to the verbatim update_viewer (start-cell + fallbacks)
Complete Render Residual A's faithful port: PhysicsCameraCollisionProbe.SweepEye
now mirrors SmartBox::update_viewer (acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:92761) end-to-end:

- Start cell (pc:92824-92844): indoor (>=0x100) seats the sweep at the head-PIVOT
  via PhysicsEngine.AdjustPosition (the cellar-lip case — feet in the low connector,
  head up at floor level); outdoor keeps the player cell.
- Sweep pivot -> sought-eye from the seated start cell (unchanged 0x5c viewer flags).
- Success (pc:92870): set_viewer(curr_pos), viewer_cell = curr_cell.
- Fallback 1 (pc:92878): AdjustPosition(sought_eye).
- Fallback 2 / no-cell (pc:92775, 92886): snap to player, viewer_cell = null. This
  also makes cellId==0 faithful (was returning the desired eye; retail snaps to
  player_pos) and adds the playerPos arg to ICameraCollisionProbe.SweepEye.

Supporting: ResolveResult.Ok surfaces FindTransitionalPosition's return (retail
find_valid_position != 0, pc:273898) so SweepEye knows when to fall back.

TDD: 11 new tests (FindVisibleChildCell 4, AdjustPosition 3, ResolveResult.Ok 2,
SweepEye orchestration 2). The seating test's RED proved the sweep does NOT auto-
advance feet->room, so the pivot-seated start cell is genuinely decisive. Core
1326 pass / 4 documented-fail / 1 skip; App 179 pass / 0 fail. No regression.

Per the live-capture finding, the visible payoff is the cellar-corner (point 3);
the cottage-room bluish void stays for residual C. Spec:
docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-05-residual-a-camera-collision-design.md.

832001d289 refactor(render): SweepEye returns (Eye, ViewerCellId) — surface the swept viewer cell
The camera spring-arm sweep already resolves the collided eye's cell (ResolveResult.CellId
= sp.CurCellId = retail viewer_cell = sphere_path.curr_cell, update_viewer pc:92871).
Return it from SweepEye so the render can root on the viewer cell (Phase W single-viewpoint
V1, Task 1). Pure plumbing — behavior unchanged; callers extract .Eye. 174 App tests green.

3066460370 diag(render): camera-collision indoor non-engagement — RED test + diagnosis
Root cause (b): ShadowObjectRegistry.GetNearbyObjects (line 480) returns early
when primaryCellId is an indoor cell, skipping the outdoor radial sweep that
contains the landblock-baked cottage exterior-shell GfxObj. The issue-#98 fix
that prevents the player's head sphere from being capped by the cottage floor
also prevents the IsViewer camera sweep from finding the exterior building shell.
Result: camera passes through exterior walls unimpeded, driving the residual
transparent-walls symptom after the U.4c flap fix.

Evidence: live capture shows eyeInRoot=n ~90% of frames, eye-player distance
3.43m (full chase, no pull-in). RED test deterministically reproduces: synthetic
indoor cell (0xA9B40175) + exterior GfxObj registered at cellScope=0; probe
SweepEye returns pulledIn=0.0000m (full eye distance Y=5.0, wall at Y=4.0).

Fix design: exempt IsViewer from the indoor-primary early-return gate in
GetNearbyObjects — retail's find_obj_collisions (named-retail :308918) has no
indoor/outdoor cell gate; the acdream fix is correct only for IsPlayer.

Apparatus committed:
- tests/AcDream.App.Tests/Rendering/CameraCollisionIndoorTests.cs (RED test)
- docs/research/2026-05-31-camera-collision-indoor-diagnosis.md (findings + design)
- PhysicsCameraCollisionProbe.cs [flap-sweep] diagnostic retained (U.4c spike)

fcea05f808 fix(render): Phase A8.F — camera sweep uses retail moverFlags 0x5c (PathClipped hard-stop)
Code review found the probe passed ObjectInfoState.None; retail's
SmartBox::update_viewer calls init_object(player, 0x5c) =
IsViewer|PathClipped|FreeRotate|PerfectClip (pseudo-C :92864). PathClipped makes
the sweep hard-stop at first contact (TransitionTypes.cs:811) instead of
edge-sliding around corners (which would re-trigger the A8.F camera-cell
instability); IsViewer lets the eye pass through creatures, colliding only with
world geometry. Resolves the spec's slide-vs-stop open question. Also reset
CollideCamera in the Defaults_AreRetailValues baseline test (review: maintenance
trap). Spec §5.1/§11.1 synced.
