User report: third-person chase camera enters interiors before the
player body does, so the camera-based cameraInsideCell flag was
flipping the scene to indoor lighting prematurely (ambient drops to
0.2 white before the player has actually crossed the doorway).
Retail keys lighting off the PLAYER's cell. CellManager::ChangePosition
@ 0x004559B0 reads CObjCell::seen_outside on the player's current
cell — never on the camera. Match that semantics.
- CellVisibility.IsInsideAnyCell(Vector3): new non-caching brute-force
scan that's safe to call alongside ComputeVisibility(cameraPos)
without thrashing the camera cell cache.
- GameWindow render loop: derive playerInsideCell from the player's
Position when in player mode, otherwise fall back to cameraInsideCell
(orbit/fly debug camera).
- UpdateSunFromSky now takes playerInsideCell. The sky-render and
depth-buffer-clear decisions still use cameraInsideCell — those are
legitimately camera-POV concerns.

Port ACME's EnvCellManager portal visibility system:
- New CellVisibility class: BFS portal traversal from camera cell,
portal-side clip-plane test, FindCameraCell with grace period
- LoadedCell data populated during streaming (portals, clip planes,
world/inverse transforms, local AABB from CellStruct vertices)
- WorldEntity.ParentCellId tags interior entities for filtering
- InstancedMeshRenderer.Draw accepts optional visibleCellIds set —
interior entities whose parent cell isn't visible are skipped
- Conditional depth clear between terrain and static mesh when
camera is inside a cell (ACME GameScene.cs pattern)
When camera is outdoors, all interiors render (visibleCellIds=null).
When camera enters a building, only BFS-reachable cells render.
