Replace scheduler-quantized software sleeps with a reusable Windows high-resolution deadline timer, expose pacing in the frame profiler, and make shutdown wake every persistent mesh worker without losing the shared signal.
Preserve retail alpha order while using a stable radix, skip duplicate deferred-alpha SSBO packing, pack light sets, cache static selection descriptors, and retire historical material groups at the whole-frame boundary. The fixed dense-Caul sample improved from roughly 9-12 ms CPU to 5.3-6.2 ms without reducing visual quality.
Release build succeeds with zero warnings and all 6,300 tests pass with five intentional skips. Three independent retail, architecture, and adversarial reviews are clean; the post-review connected route remains pending because local ACE is offline.

Queue translucent world GfxObj batches and scene particles in one stable far-to-near stream using transformed DAT sort centers, then drain it at retail's landscape and final-world boundaries. Preserve authored blend, cull, lighting, opacity, and adjacent-only batching so particles behind lifestones are composited through the crystal instead of overpainting it.
Release build succeeds and all 5,914 tests pass with five intentional skips.

Adds CachedBatch, EntityCacheEntry, and EntityClassificationCache with
just TryGet (returns false on empty). The skeleton compiles and the first
test (TryGet_EmptyCache_ReturnsFalse) passes. Subsequent tasks add
Populate, InvalidateEntity, InvalidateLandblock, and the dispatcher
integration. Per spec design Section 6.1.
Note: CachedBatch / EntityCacheEntry / EntityClassificationCache are
internal (not public as the plan snippet showed). Their members
transitively reference the internal GroupKey type, so promoting them to
public produces CS0051 inconsistent-accessibility errors. The cache is
dispatcher-internal coordination state anyway, and the AcDream.App
csproj already exposes internals to AcDream.Core.Tests via
InternalsVisibleTo, so the test sees everything it needs.
