3e6f6ec858 chore(O-T7): code-review housekeeping after WB extraction
Five small post-cleanup items from T7 code review:

I1: Removed dead `datDir` parameter from WbMeshAdapter ctor (parameter
    was unused after _wbDats removal; ArgumentNullException.ThrowIfNull
    was misleading). Updated call sites in GameWindow.cs and
    WbMeshAdapterTests.cs.

I2: Updated stale GameWindow.cs comment that still described
    WbMeshAdapter as opening its own dat handles. Now reflects Phase O
    state: shared DatCollection via DatCollectionAdapter.

I3: Documented thread-safety contract on RenderStateCache (render-thread
    only — required for the mutable-static GL sentinel pattern).

M1: Added comment on IDatReaderWriter's write-path methods noting they
    are preserved for verbatim compatibility but unused in acdream.

M3: Added comment on Chorizite.Core PackageReference in Core.csproj
    explaining the previously-transitive dependency.

Also excluded SplitFormulaDivergenceTest.cs from the test build via
<Compile Remove>: this N.5b one-time data-collection test referenced
WorldBuilder.Shared types directly; after Phase O-T7 dropped that
project reference it no longer compiles. The sweep data it produced
already informed the N.5b Path-C decision and the file is retained
in the tree for historical reference.

Build green; tests green (1146 + 8 pre-existing failures baseline
maintained).

dc722e70bd feat(O-T7): drop WB project references; complete extraction
End of Phase O extraction. Final cleanup:

- Dropped <ProjectReference> entries to WorldBuilder.Shared and
  Chorizite.OpenGLSDLBackend from both AcDream.App.csproj and
  AcDream.Core.csproj.
- Added Chorizite.Core NuGet PackageReference to AcDream.Core.csproj
  (needed by Core.Rendering.Wb.TextureHelpers for TextureFormat enum;
  previously transitive through the WB project ref).
- Added BCnEncoder.Net.ImageSharp (1.1.2) + SixLabors.ImageSharp (3.1.12)
  as direct PackageReferences to AcDream.App.csproj — previously transitive
  via Chorizite.OpenGLSDLBackend project; used directly by ObjectMeshManager.

Item A (BaseObjectRenderManager static fields):
- Inlined CurrentAtlas/CurrentVAO/CurrentIBO into a new RenderStateCache.cs
  static class (AcDream.App.Rendering.Wb namespace) — the 4 consumers
  (ManagedGLIndexBuffer, ManagedGLTexture, ManagedGLTextureArray, ParticleBatcher)
  all reference RenderStateCache.* instead of BaseObjectRenderManager.*.
- Dropped using Chorizite.OpenGLSDLBackend.Lib from all 4 consumers and from
  WbDrawDispatcher (which had it only as a dead import).

Item B (ActiveParticleEmitter.ObjectLandblock):
- ObjectLandblock? erased to object?; WorldBuilder.Shared.Models.ObjectId? erased
  to ulong? — both fields are stored but never read by any consumer in our codebase.
- Dropped both WB using directives from ActiveParticleEmitter.cs.

Item C (IDatReaderWriter / IDatDatabase):
- Verbatim copy of both interfaces into IDatReaderWriter.cs in
  AcDream.App.Rendering.Wb namespace — DatCollectionAdapter and ObjectMeshManager
  already live in that namespace, so no using changes needed.
- Dropped using WorldBuilder.Shared.Services from DatCollectionAdapter.cs and
  ObjectMeshManager.cs.

Additional extractions required by the reference drop:
- GeometryUtils.cs: verbatim copy of WorldBuilder.Shared.Lib.GeometryUtils
  (float-precision overloads only; Vector3d double-precision overloads omitted —
  ObjectMeshManager uses only the float versions).
- Dropped using WorldBuilder.Shared.Lib from ObjectMeshManager.cs.

WbMeshAdapter.cs cleanup (spec O-D12):
- Deleted _wbDats (DefaultDatReaderWriter) field + ctor init + Dispose call.
- Deleted the [indoor-upload] NULL_RESULT diagnostic block (lines ~205-262) —
  its Phase 2 cell-resolution investigation is complete; its _wbDats.ResolveId
  dependency goes with this commit.
- Deleted _pendingEnvCellRequests field + isPendingEnvCell tracking in Tick().
- Simplified Tick() to a clean drain loop.

Deleted SplitFormulaDivergenceTest.cs — one-time N.5b data-collection sweep;
job done.

Verified acceptance criteria:
- Zero <ProjectReference> to WorldBuilder.* / Chorizite.OpenGLSDLBackend.* in any csproj.
- Zero 'using WorldBuilder.*' / 'using Chorizite.OpenGLSDLBackend.*' in src/.
- DefaultDatReaderWriter referenced in zero places in src/ (comments only).

Build green (0 warnings, 0 errors).
Tests: 1154 total (-1 from deleted SplitFormulaDivergenceTest), 1146 pass,
8 pre-existing failures (unchanged from baseline — physics/input tests
unrelated to this change).

a9ccc5acf5 fix(O-T4): thread-safety lock in DatDatabaseWrapper + drop unused using
Code-review findings on T4:

1. Added lock(_lock) around _db.TryGet and TryGetFileBytes in
   DatDatabaseWrapper, matching WB's DefaultDatDatabase pattern.
   ObjectMeshManager.PrepareMeshDataAsync runs on the thread pool, so
   concurrent dat access through the adapter must be serialized — our
   underlying DatCollection is not documented as thread-safe.

2. Removed unused `using WorldBuilder.Shared.Models;` from WbMeshAdapter.cs
   (its only purpose was TerrainEntry, which moved to AcDream.Core in T2).

Build green; tests green (1147 passing, 8 pre-existing failures baseline).

c0326523ac fix(O-T4): address spec-review findings — InstanceData + using cleanups
Four fixes from T4 spec review:

1. Extracted InstanceData.cs (14-line struct) verbatim to
   src/AcDream.App/Rendering/Wb/InstanceData.cs (per O-D1).

2. ObjectMeshManager.cs: replaced `using Chorizite.OpenGLSDLBackend.Lib;`
   with `using AcDream.Core.Rendering.Wb;` (TextureHelpers comes from
   our T2 Core extraction; InstanceData comes from new T4 cleanup).

3. EmbeddedResourceReader.GetEmbeddedResource promoted from `internal`
   to `public` per O-D9 intent (the type promotion only changed the
   class signature in T3; this finishes the spec).

4. OpenGLGraphicsDevice.cs: removed stale T3 interim comment at
   lines 142-145 — T4 resolved the ParticleBatcher construction
   via post-ctor assignment in WbMeshAdapter.cs:78.

Build green; tests green (1147 passing, 8 pre-existing failures
baseline maintained).

d16d8cd4e5 feat(O-T4): extract ObjectMeshManager + mesh pipeline closure into AcDream.App.Rendering.Wb
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).

4cc38805b5 feat(O-T3): extract GL infrastructure to AcDream.App
Phase O Task 3 — verbatim-copy GL infra from Chorizite.OpenGLSDLBackend
into src/AcDream.App/Rendering/Wb/ (namespace AcDream.App.Rendering.Wb).

18 files extracted (all namespace-changed; no algorithm changes):
  OpenGLGraphicsDevice, ManagedGLTexture, ManagedGLTextureArray,
  ManagedGLVertexBuffer, ManagedGLIndexBuffer, ManagedGLVertexArray,
  ManagedGLFrameBuffer, ManagedGLUniformBuffer, GLSLShader, GLHelpers,
  GLStateScope, GpuMemoryTracker, SceneData, DebugRenderSettings,
  TextureParameters, TextureFormatExtensions, BufferUsageExtensions,
  EmbeddedResourceReader.

3 internals promoted to public (O-D9):
  EmbeddedResourceReader, TextureFormatExtensions, BufferUsageExtensions.

SixLabors.ImageSharp not reachable: TextureHelpers was placed in
AcDream.Core (no GL/ImageSharp dep); only the GL types went to App.

TextureHelpers.GetCompressedLayerSize added to AcDream.Core.Rendering.Wb
(was in Chorizite.OpenGLSDLBackend.Lib.TextureHelpers; uses
Chorizite.Core.Render.Enums.TextureFormat which Core gets transitively
via the still-present WB project refs).

T3/T4 boundary interims:
  - WbMeshAdapter._graphicsDevice stays Chorizite.OpenGLSDLBackend.OpenGLGraphicsDevice
    (T4 will swap it when ObjectMeshManager is extracted).
  - OpenGLGraphicsDevice.ParticleBatcher deferred to null! (T4 extracts
    ParticleBatcher alongside ObjectMeshManager; can't pass `this` of our
    new type to the WB-original ctor before T4).
  - ManagedGLTextureArray uses our TextureHelpers via explicit alias.
  - IUniformBuffer is in Chorizite.Core.dll under Chorizite.OpenGLSDLBackend
    namespace (unusual packaging); resolved via type alias.
  - AcDream.App.csproj gets explicit Chorizite.Core 0.0.18 PackageReference
    (IUniformBuffer + other Chorizite.Core types now used directly in App).

Build green. Test baseline 1147+8 maintained (1902 passing, 8 pre-existing
MotionInterpreterTests failures unrelated to T3).

b838eccb38 feat(wb): ConsoleErrorLogger + cause report — H1 swallowed-exception confirmed
Phase 2 diagnostic chain identified the EXACT cause of 26/123 Holtburg
cells silently failing in WB's PrepareEnvCellMeshData:
ArgumentOutOfRangeException thrown from Setup.Unpack inside
DatReaderWriter when WB calls TryGet<Setup>(stab.Id, ...) on a stab id
whose prefix is GfxObj (0x01xxxxxx), not Setup (0x02xxxxxx).
DatReaderWriter finds the file in Portal's tree (GfxObjs and Setups
share tree-lookups), attempts to parse GfxObj bytes as Setup format,
throws OOR. Exception bubbles to PrepareMeshData's outer try/catch
which silently swallows + returns null. Entire cell fails to upload.

This commit lands the diagnostic infrastructure that surfaced the bug:

- WbMeshAdapter: replaced NullLogger<ObjectMeshManager> with a small
  Console-backed ConsoleErrorLogger<T> private class. Filters to
  LogLevel.Error+. WB's existing _logger.LogError(ex, ...) at the
  swallow site now writes [wb-error] lines with type + message + top 5
  stack frames. Bridges WB's intentional log point to acdream's console.
- WbMeshAdapter: extended [indoor-upload] NULL_RESULT probe with
  reader-divergence diagnostic (ourCellDb.TryGet, wbResolveId.Count,
  wbSelectedType, wbDbIsPortal, wbDbTryGet<EnvCell>, hadRenderData).
  Made it possible to rule out cache-hits and reader-divergence as
  causes before identifying the real one.
- Cause report at docs/research/2026-05-19-indoor-cell-rendering-cause.md
  documents the full chain: 55 ArgumentOutOfRangeException stack traces
  captured in one launch, all from PrepareEnvCellMeshData line 1223.

The fix itself (1-line guard at WB's TryGet<Setup> call site) is applied
to references/WorldBuilder/.../ObjectMeshManager.cs — which is a git
submodule. Will be committed separately to the WB submodule after
visual verification.

914638819d feat(wb): extend NULL_RESULT probe with reader-divergence diagnostic
Phase 2 Task 1's continuation logged [indoor-upload] NULL_RESULT
when WB's PrepareMeshDataAsync returned null. Extend the line to
include two cross-checks:

  ourCellDb.TryGet=<bool>    — acdream's DatCollection.Cell.TryGet<EnvCell>
  wbResolveId.Count=<int>    — WB's DefaultDatReaderWriter.ResolveId().Count

This narrows the cause among WB's null-return paths (ResolveId empty
vs TryGet<EnvCell> failure vs wrong type). Best-effort: both calls
wrapped in try/catch so diagnostic failures don't propagate.

Capture: 55 NULL_RESULTs across multiple landblocks ALL show
ourCellDb.TryGet=True + wbResolveId.Count=1. Both readers find the
cells in their indices, but WB's downstream PrepareMeshData logic
still returns null. Divergence is downstream of ResolveId.

011a5e43f4 feat(wb): surface WB-swallowed exceptions for EnvCell upload failures
Phase 1 confirmed 26/123 Holtburg cells silently fail in WB's
PrepareEnvCellMeshData / PrepareMeshData. WB's catch block at
ObjectMeshManager.cs:589 calls _logger.LogError(ex, ...) — but we
construct ObjectMeshManager with NullLogger, so the log is dropped.

Capture the Task from PrepareMeshDataAsync (previously fire-and-forget)
and attach a ContinueWith that, for EnvCell ids only when the probe
is on, logs:

  [indoor-upload] FAILED cellId=0x... exception=<Type>: <Message>
                          stack=[<top 3 frames>]
  [indoor-upload] NULL_RESULT cellId=0x...

Runs on ThreadPool — non-blocking. Zero cost when ProbeIndoorUploadEnabled
is off. AggregateException is unwrapped to InnerException for readability.
Stack truncated to top 3 frames.

Next: capture procedure, identify cause, target the fix.

9b948b6ad5 feat(dispatcher): [indoor-lookup] + [indoor-xform] probes
Instruments the per-MeshRef draw loop in WbDrawDispatcher:

- [indoor-lookup]: per cell entity, dumps render-data hit/miss,
  IsSetup, parts count, and a partsHit/partsMiss tally over the
  SetupParts. Disambiguates hypothesis H2 (WB produces empty
  ObjectRenderData with zero parts) and H6 (dispatcher fails to
  traverse Setup).

- [indoor-xform]: only fires for the cell's synthetic geometry part
  (the SetupPart whose GfxObjId has bit 32 set, per WB's
  PrepareEnvCellMeshData cellGeomId convention). Logs the three
  composed transform translations: entityWorld, meshRef.PartTransform,
  partTransform, and the final composed matrix translation. Disambiguates
  hypothesis H5 (transform double-apply — composedT lands at 2 ×
  cellOrigin).

Rate-limited via the ShouldEmitIndoorProbe instance helper added in
Task 6 (now consumed — no longer dead code).

36a29ceff5 feat(dispatcher): [indoor-walk] + [indoor-cull] probes
Instruments WalkVisibleEntities to identify whether cell entities (first
MeshRef.GfxObjId low-16-bits >= 0x0100) pass all visibility filters or
get culled. Three emission paths:

- [indoor-cull] reason=visibleCellIds-miss -- when the ParentCellId
  filter rejects the entity.
- [indoor-cull] reason=frustum -- when AABB frustum cull rejects.
- [indoor-walk] -- when the entity passes all filters and reaches the
  draw list.

Rate-limited to once per cellId per ~1 sec (30 frames at 30 Hz) via
IndoorProbeState, a nested class wrapping _lastIndoorProbeFrame dictionary
and _indoorProbeFrameCounter (bumped at top of Draw()). WalkEntitiesInto
accepts a new optional IndoorProbeState? parameter (null = probes off,
default) so the test-friendly WalkEntities overload is unaffected. The
ShouldEmitIndoorProbe instance helper is also retained for Task 7 use.

Disambiguates hypothesis H3 (cull bug -- cell entity dropped before draw).

1dd20ddd40 feat(wb): [indoor-upload] probe for EnvCell mesh requests + completions
Instruments WbMeshAdapter at two sites:
- IncrementRefCount: on first call for an EnvCell id (low 16 bits >=
  0x0100), tag the id in _pendingEnvCellRequests and log
  [indoor-upload] requested.
- Tick: when WB's StagedMeshData drains an ObjectMeshData whose
  ObjectId matches a pending EnvCell, log [indoor-upload] completed
  with parts count, EnvCellGeometry vertex count, and upload result.

Missing "completed" lines after "requested" identify hypothesis H1
(WB silently returns null from PrepareEnvCellMeshData).

25cb147d97 fix(perf #N6.1): gate gpu_us read on diag for symmetric toggle behavior
Code-quality review on Task 1 (commit a7c9800) flagged an asymmetric
diag gate: the read-before-overwrite block at the top of the dispatcher
was not gated on diag, but the frame-counter increment and BeginQuery
calls were. If a maintainer toggled ACDREAM_WB_DIAG from "1" to "" mid-
session, _gpuQueryFrameIndex would freeze (gated inside if(diag)) while
the read kept firing every frame at the same slot — producing duplicate
stale samples.

Add diag to the read block's outer condition so the read/issue/increment
trio is symmetric. One-line change; behavior under the normal usage
pattern (env var set at launch, never toggled) is unchanged.

a7c98004bb feat(perf): Phase N.6 slice 1 — fix gpu_us double-buffering in WbDrawDispatcher
The dispatcher's GPU TimeElapsed queries were polled in the same frame
as the indirect draw, so glGetQueryObject(ResultAvailable) always
returned 0 and gpu_us in [WB-DIAG] was stuck at 0m/0p95.

Replace the 2 single-handle queries with ring-of-3 arrays and move the
result read to BEFORE issuing the next frame's queries into the same
slot — at frame N we read slot N%3 which holds frame N-3's queries
(oldest in the ring, ~50ms old at 60fps and definitely done across all
desktop GL drivers). Vendor-neutral: AMD/NVIDIA/Intel desktop GL all
work without driver-specific code.

The gpuQuerySlot variable is hoisted to function scope (just before
Phase 7 opaque pass) so both the opaque and transparent passes
reference the same slot — the plan placed it inside the opaque-pass
if-block, which would have been out of scope for the transparent
BeginQuery; corrected in the implementation.

No new tests — the change is purely a diagnostic readout fix, no
observable behavior in the rendering path. Build green; tests at
baseline (1711 passing, 8 pre-existing physics/MotionInterpreter
failures unchanged). Manual gpu_us verification still pending in-world.

f928e66119 fix(render #53): incomplete-entity flag must persist across same-entity tuples
User reported (cache enabled, post-c55acdc): drudge statue renders fully
but many trees are missing branches. Cache-disabled A/B run rendered trees
correctly. So the bug is in the cache wiring.

Root cause: c55acdc's `currentEntityIncomplete = false;` reset fired
UNCONDITIONALLY at the top of every iteration. For a tree with MeshRefs
[trunk valid, branches null, leaves valid], the tuple sequence is:

  - tuple 0 (trunk): no flag set
  - tuple 1 (branches): TryGetRenderData null → set flag, continue
  - tuple 2 (leaves): unconditional reset → flag = false (WRONG)
  - end-of-entity: flag is false, scratch has trunk+leaves batches but NOT
    branches → MaybeFlushOnEntityChange populates a PARTIAL cache entry
  - cache hits forever serve trunk+leaves with no branches

Drudge happened to render correctly because its missing MeshRef was at the
END of its MeshRefs list — no later tuple reset the flag.

Adds a per-tuple `prevTupleEntityId` tracker for entity-change detection,
updated UNCONDITIONALLY at end of each tuple (including tuples that skip
via null renderData). The flag-reset block now fires ONLY on actual entity
change. Within the same entity, the flag accumulates across tuples.

Also includes ACDREAM_DISABLE_TIER1_CACHE=1 diagnostic env-var added
inline (was stashed previously) for future A/B testing.

c55acdc3d5 fix(render #53): skip cache populate when classification is incomplete
User reported: the drudge statue on top of the Foundry (a multi-part
live-spawned entity with AnimPartChange + texChanges) renders only
PARTIALLY — some parts visible, some missing.

Root cause: the dispatcher's slow path skips a MeshRef when
_meshAdapter.TryGetRenderData returns null (mesh still async-decoding
via ObjectMeshManager.PrepareMeshDataAsync). The classified-batches
collector accumulates only the MeshRefs that DID resolve. At entity
boundary, the cache populates with the PARTIAL set. Frame-2 cache hits
serve that partial entry forever — even after the missing mesh loads,
the cache continues to skip those parts because classification never
reruns for cached entities.

Fix: track currentEntityIncomplete during the foreach. Set it true on
any null renderData. At entity boundary (and at end-of-loop), if the
flag is set, DROP the accumulated populate scratch instead of writing
it to the cache. The slow path retries on the next frame; once all
meshes have loaded, the populate fires correctly with the complete
classification.

Adds a regression test pinning the contract — incomplete entities
produce zero cache entries.

95ebbf3004 fix(render #53): key cache by (entityId, landblockHint) to defeat ID collision
User confirmed via A/B test (ACDREAM_DISABLE_TIER1_CACHE=1) that the
visual bug — buildings rendering up in the air outside Holtburg — is in
the cache wiring, not elsewhere. The matrix math (restPose * entityWorld
== model) was provably correct, so the bug had to be cache key collision.

Stabs were namespaced in commit 71d0edc, but scenery (0x80LLBB00 +
localIndex) and interior (0x40LLBB00 + localCounter) still have the
same 256-overflow risk. Dense LBs outside Holtburg (forest, urban) push
localIndex past 255, wrapping into the lbY byte and creating cross-LB
collisions.

Fix: change the cache key from uint entityId to (uint, uint) tuple of
(EntityId, LandblockHint). The cache is now correct-by-construction
regardless of any hydration path's Id-generation strategy. Defensive
against future regressions in any ID namespace.

InvalidateEntity becomes a sweep (was O(1)), but it's called rarely
(only on live-entity despawn). InvalidateLandblock was already a sweep.

Updated 14 existing cache tests + 1 dispatcher integration test to thread
landblockHint through TryGet / DebugCrossCheck calls.

4df19146ff docs(render #53): clarify DebugCrossCheck's wiring status
Code review of f16604b flagged that DebugCrossCheck's XML doc claimed
"called once per static-entity cache hit per frame" — overstated. The
method is currently exercised by unit tests only; the dispatcher's
cache-hit branch fires a simpler predicate assert (!isAnimated) at
production hit time, not the full live-state cross-check. Wiring the
full cross-check is the spec section 6.5 stretch goal, kept open as a
follow-up.

Doc-only change. No behavior change. 1708 / 8 baseline preserved.

f16604b60b feat(render #53): DEBUG cross-check guards against the prior Tier 1 bug class
Adds EntityClassificationCache.DebugCrossCheck(entityId, liveBatches) that
asserts cached state matches a live re-classification. Wires a simpler
predicate assert into WbDrawDispatcher's cache-hit branch (asserts
isAnimated == false on cache hit). Tests #13a and #13b cover the
batch-count mismatch and clean-match cases via a custom TraceListener
that captures Debug.Assert calls.

Zero cost in Release. In DEBUG, the assert fires immediately if a future
regression mutates static-entity state outside the audit's known write
sites — the same failure mode that bit the prior Tier 1 attempt.

Phase 4 complete. Cache + invalidation + safety net all in place.

Task 10 (commit 0cbef3c) called ApplyCacheHit inside the per-(entity, partIdx)
foreach loop, but cachedEntry.Batches is flat across all MeshRefs of the
entity. For a 3-MeshRef static building on frame 2: 3 tuples times 6 cached
batches per call = 18 instances drawn instead of 6. Severe Z-fighting and
3x perf hit on every multi-part static entity (buildings, statues, multi-
MeshRef NPCs).

This is the symmetric mirror of the Task 9 bug fixed at 00fa8ae. Both
spec section 5.2 and the plan describe the foreach as per-entity, but
_walkScratch has been per-tuple since Task 6. The implementation
faithfully ported the buggy spec.

Fix: track lastHitEntityId; the cache-hit fast path fires only on the
first tuple of each entity, and subsequent tuples skip the iteration
body via continue. Adds a regression test pinning the per-entity
amplification invariant.

Caught by code review (subagent-driven-development) before Phase 3
dispatched. The bug was invisible in the no-multi-frame-test 1702/8
baseline; would have manifested as visible Z-fighting on every multi-
part building on second-and-subsequent frames once Task 13 perf gate
captured live runs.

0cbef3c8b3 feat(render #53): cache-hit fast path + dispatcher integration tests
WbDrawDispatcher.Draw now branches on cache hit before running classification:
on hit, walks the cached flat batch list and appends RestPose times entityWorld
to the matching groups; on miss, runs today's classification and populates
the cache (Task 9). Animated entities skip the cache entirely.

Adds dispatcher integration tests #11 (static entity populates + reuses)
and #12 (animated bypasses) per spec test plan section 7.2, plus the
multi-MeshRef regression test that would have caught the bug fixed in
commit 00fa8ae (cache populate must flush at entity boundary, not per-tuple).

Phase 2 (dispatcher integration) complete. End-to-end caching now live.
Invalidation hooks (Phase 3) ensure correctness across despawns + LB demotes.

00fa8ae839 fix(render #53): cache Populate must flush at entity boundary, not per-MeshRef tuple
Task 9 (commit 2f489a8) called _cache.Populate inside the per-tuple
foreach loop, but _walkScratch contains one tuple per (entity, MeshRefIndex)
and the cache is keyed by entity.Id. For multi-MeshRef entities (multi-part
Setup buildings, statues, multi-MeshRef NPCs), each iteration's Populate
OVERWROTE the previous one — only the last MeshRef's batches survived.

The bug was invisible at commit time because Task 10 had not landed
(cache populates but isn't read). It would have manifested the moment
Task 10 wired the cache-hit fast path: every multi-part static building
in Holtburg would render as N stacked copies of its last part.

Fix: restructure the per-entity loop with a flush-on-entity-change pattern.
Track the previous entity's Id; when the iteration moves to a different
entity, flush the previous entity's accumulated _populateScratch via one
Populate call. After the loop, flush the final entity. _populateScratch
is now cleared at flush time, not per-iteration.

Caught by code review (subagent-driven-development) before Task 10 dispatched.
Verified: 1699/8 baseline preserved, sentinel 105/105 unchanged.

2f489a83a7 feat(render #53): cache-miss populate on first frame for static entities
Restructures Draw's per-entity loop: animated entities still skip the
cache entirely, but static entities now collect their classification into
_populateScratch and call cache.Populate at the end of the iteration.

Cache fast-path (skip slow classification on cache hit) lands in Task 10.
This intermediate state is verifiable: behavior unchanged, but the cache
is being populated as entities render. Diagnostic-friendly split.

ClassifyBatches now accepts a restPose parameter (the model-matrix

collector is non-null, each classified batch is appended as a CachedBatch
record. Defaults preserve today's behavior. Used in Task 9 to populate
the cache on a static-entity miss.

773e9703da feat(render #53): EntityClassificationCache skeleton + first test
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.

c02405cbb7 refactor(render): extract WbDrawDispatcher.GroupKey to internal type at namespace scope
Mechanical refactor: GroupKey was a private nested record struct on
WbDrawDispatcher. The upcoming EntityClassificationCache (ISSUE #53) needs
to store GroupKey inside CachedBatch records, so it must be visible to
both the dispatcher and the cache. Promoting to internal at file scope is
the smallest change that achieves this.

No behavior change. 1688 tests pass; 8 pre-existing failures unchanged.

e40159f4d6 fix(render): close #52 — lifestone visible (alpha-test + cull + uDrawIDOffset)
Three root causes regressed the Holtburg lifestone since the WB rendering
migration (Phase N.5 retirement amendment, commit dcae2b6, 2026-05-08).
All confirmed via temporary [LIFESTONE-DIAG] instrumentation and visually
verified by the user through the +Acdream test character.

1. **Alpha-test discard** in mesh_modern.frag transparent pass killed
   high-α pixels of dat-flagged transparent surfaces. Native AC
   transparent surfaces routinely include effectively-opaque pixels —
   e.g. the lifestone crystal core (surface 0x080011DE) — that compose
   correctly under (SrcAlpha, 1-SrcAlpha) blending. The original N.5
   §2 rationale ("high-α belongs in opaque pass") doesn't hold for
   surfaces flagged transparent at the dat level: those pixels can't
   reach the opaque pass at all. Fix: remove `α >= 0.95 discard` from
   the transparent pass, keep `α < 0.05 discard` as a fragment-cost
   optimization (skip totally-empty pixels).

2. **Cull state** for the transparent pass was unset by
   WbDrawDispatcher after the N.5 retirement amendment deleted
   StaticMeshRenderer.cs (which had the Phase 9.2 setup at commit
   6f1971a, 2026-04-11). Closed-shell translucents — lifestone crystal,
   glow gems — need GL_CULL_FACE + GL_BACK + GL_CCW in the transparent
   pass; otherwise back faces composite over front faces in iteration
   order under DepthMask(false). Fix: re-establish Phase 9.2's exact
   GL state setup at the top of Phase 8.

3. **uDrawIDOffset uniform** was missing from mesh_modern.vert.
   gl_DrawIDARB resets to 0 at the start of each
   glMultiDrawElementsIndirect call, so the transparent pass — which
   begins later in the indirect buffer — was fetching
   Batches[0..transparentCount) instead of its actual section at
   Batches[opaqueCount..end). The lifestone crystal ended up reading
   the FIRST OPAQUE batch's TextureHandle every frame; as the camera
   moved and the front-to-back opaque sort reordered which group
   landed at BatchData[0], the crystal's apparent texture flickered to
   whatever sat first — typically the player character's body parts.
   Fix: add `uniform int uDrawIDOffset` to the vertex shader, change
   Batches[gl_DrawIDARB] → Batches[uDrawIDOffset + gl_DrawIDARB], and
   set the uniform per-pass in WbDrawDispatcher (0 for opaque,
   _opaqueDrawCount for transparent). Mirrors WorldBuilder's
   BaseObjectRenderManager.cs line 845.

Tests: 1688/1696 passing (8 pre-existing physics/input failures
unchanged). N.5b conformance sentinel 94/94 clean.

Visual: Holtburg lifestone now renders with the spinning blue crystal
correctly composed over the pedestal. Other transparent content (glass,
particle effects, NPC clothing) is unaffected — the same uniform fix
applies globally and is correct for all transparent draws.

9b49009dd5 Revert "feat(perf): Tier 1 entity classification cache"
This reverts commit 3639a6f4ac.

Erik
3639a6f4ac feat(perf): Tier 1 entity classification cache
Per docs/plans/2026-05-10-perf-tiers-2-3-roadmap.md Tier 1: cache the
per-(entity, meshRef, batch) classification (TextureCache lookup,
GroupKey hash, _groups dict insert) so the per-frame Draw inner loop
becomes "look up cache → walk assignments → append matrix to group's
Matrices list."

For static entities (~95% of world: trees, rocks, buildings, scenery),
the answer never changes between frames. Cache once at first visit;
reuse permanently. Per-frame work for static drops from 4 expensive
operations per (meshRef, batch) to 1 list-append.

Estimated entity dispatcher: 3.5ms → ~1-1.5ms median at radius=12.
Should land inside the 2.0ms spec budget.

Implementation:
- New EntityClassificationCache class (per-meshRef list of cached
  (group ref, baked-PartTransform) tuples) keyed by entity.Id.
- ClassifyEntity does the one-time work; result populates _groups and
  the cache.
- Draw inner loop: cache lookup → for each assignment, model =
  PartTransform × entityWorld; group.Matrices.Add(model).
- Cache miss when ClassifyEntity finds NO mesh loaded yet (Vao == 0)
  → don't store; retry next frame. Avoids cache thrash during the
  streaming-in window.
- Public InvalidateEntity(uint id) + ClearEntityCache() for explicit
  invalidation hooks. Wiring (palette swap on ObjDescEvent, MeshRefs
  hot-swap) is post-A.5 follow-up — for now, cache-stale entities
  show their pre-swap appearance until next respawn.

Tier 2 (static/dynamic split with persistent groups) and Tier 3 (GPU
compute culling) tracked in the roadmap doc.

0ad8c99c37 fix(A.5): WalkEntities scratch-list pattern (Bug B — T17 GC pressure)
T17's WalkEntities helper allocated a fresh List<(WorldEntity, int)>
per frame to hold the (entity, meshRefIndex) pairs that pass visibility
filters. At ~10K entities × ~3 mesh refs = ~30K tuples × 16 bytes =
~480 KB / frame of GC pressure on the render thread. The implementer's
self-review flagged this as a future N.6 optimization; the post-T26
diagnostic showed it materially contributing to the perf regression
(though Bug A — far-tier entity load — was the dominant factor).

Refactor: split WalkEntities into two overloads.
- WalkEntities(...) — test-friendly, allocates a fresh ToDraw list per
  call. Tests keep using this signature unchanged.
- WalkEntitiesInto(..., scratch, ref result) — no-alloc, clears + populates
  a caller-provided scratch list. Draw uses this with a per-dispatcher
  _walkScratch field reused across frames.

Test count unchanged (40 streaming + 8 bucketing tests still pass).

28d2c6018e feat(A.5 T22.5): wire QualityPreset into renderer + streaming (commit 2/2)
GameWindow.OnLoad resolves QualitySettings.From(_persistedDisplay.Quality)
+ WithEnvOverrides() immediately after LoadAndApplyPersistedSettings, stores
result in _resolvedQuality field. All six quality dimensions applied:

- NearRadius / FarRadius: replace old T16 env-var-only block; preset drives
  the radii, legacy ACDREAM_STREAM_RADIUS override still honoured.
- MsaaSamples: WindowOptions.Samples reads from startup quality resolution
  in Run() (pre-window-create read from SettingsStore). MSAA cannot change
  at runtime; ReapplyQualityPreset logs a restart-required warning if the
  new preset would change it.
- AnisotropicLevel: TerrainAtlas.SetAnisotropic() called after Build() and
  again in ReapplyQualityPreset. Temporarily removes bindless residency
  before the GL TexParameter call, re-makes resident after.
- AlphaToCoverage: WbDrawDispatcher.AlphaToCoverage property gates the
  glEnable/glDisable(SampleAlphaToCoverage) pair around the opaque pass.
- MaxCompletionsPerFrame: set on StreamingController after construction
  and after each mid-session restart.

ReapplyQualityPreset(QualityPreset) method handles mid-session changes
(Settings panel Quality dropdown Save): rebuilds streamer + controller for
radius changes, toggles A2C and aniso immediately, logs MSAA restart caveat.
onSaveDisplay callback updated to call ReapplyQualityPreset when Quality
field changes.

TerrainModernRenderer.Atlas property added to expose the atlas for
mid-session aniso updates.

991 tests passing, 8 pre-existing failures unchanged.

26b2871b10 feat(A.5 T20): MSAA 4x + alpha-to-coverage on foliage
Per Phase A.5 spec §4.9.2: ClipMap foliage uses binary alpha-cutoff.
At N₂=12 horizon distance the pixel-stepped silhouettes are visible.
A2C with MSAA 4x produces smooth retail-faithful tree edges.

GL context now requests Samples=4. WbDrawDispatcher's opaque pass
toggles GL_SAMPLE_ALPHA_TO_COVERAGE on/off around the multi-draw
indirect call. mesh_modern.frag's opaque pass now discards only
truly-empty (α<0.05) so the GPU derives sample mask from coverage;
transparent pass boundary logic is unchanged.

MSAA audit: no custom FBOs found — all rendering uses default
framebuffer. Sky/particles/ImGui are all MSAA-compatible.

0afd741ea7 feat(A.5 T18): use cached WorldEntity AABB in dispatcher; populate at register
Per Phase A.5 spec §4.6 Change #2: WalkEntities's per-entity AABB
frustum cull was recomputing Position±5 per frame per entity. With
~10.7K entities (N1=4) at 240 FPS that is ~2.5M wasted Vector3
ops/sec.

Read the AABB from the WorldEntity cache (T8 schema) instead.
RefreshAabb runs lazily on AabbDirty=true. Populate at register time:

- LandblockLoader.BuildEntitiesFromInfo: RefreshAabb after each new
  WorldEntity construction (stabs + buildings). Refactored from
  inline object-initializer to named variable to enable the call.
- EntitySpawnAdapter.OnCreate: RefreshAabb after entity state init
  (position/rotation already set via the WorldEntity passed in).

Dynamic entities (NPCs, players) move every frame via direct
Position writes in GameWindow.cs. Migrated all three per-frame
write sites to SetPosition() (T8 mutator) so AabbDirty propagates:
  - line 5942: player entity render position update
  - line 6951: remote animated entity interpolated path
  - line 7279: remote animated entity landing/movement path

The lazy RefreshAabb in WalkEntities catches up on the next frame
after any SetPosition call — render thread only, no races.

Build green, 986 passed / 8 pre-existing failures unchanged.

003443cd1a feat(A.5 T17): WbDrawDispatcher Change #1 — animated-walk fix + WalkEntities helper
Per Phase A.5 spec §4.6 Change #1: when an LB is invisible AND
animatedEntityIds is non-empty, the inner loop walked every entity
in the LB just to find the few animated ones. At ~10.7K entities
(N1=4) that is wasted iteration cost per frame.

Extracted a pure-CPU internal static WalkEntities helper. When LB
is invisible: iterate animatedEntityIds directly and look each up
in a per-LB AnimatedById dictionary (typically <50 animated vs
~10K total). When LB is visible: walk all entities as before.

GpuWorldState.LandblockEntries now yields an AnimatedById map as a
5th tuple field alongside the AABB tuple. Dictionary is built on
each yield (cheap — ~132 entities/LB max). A caching layer is out
of A.5 scope.

WbDrawDispatcher.Draw signature updated to consume the 5-tuple.
GameWindow.cs call site passes _worldState.LandblockEntries which
now yields the 5-tuple — no change needed there.

8 new tests in WbDrawDispatcherBucketingTests cover T17 Change #1
(invisible LB / animated set / neverCull / null frustum) and
T18 Change #2 guard tests (cached AABB / dirty flag / animated bypass).

da56063be5 fix(N.5b): black terrain — switch to uvec2 handle + sampler constructor
Symptom: terrain renders pure black in modern path (legacy renderer
correct). Diagnostic at TerrainModernRenderer.Draw showed:
  glProgramUniformHandle(prog=4, loc=5, handle=0x100251xxx) → GL_INVALID_OPERATION (0x0502)
on both terrain and alpha sampler uniforms.

Root cause: the `uniform sampler2DArray` + glProgramUniformHandleARB
combination is rejected by the NVIDIA Windows driver in this configuration.
The handle is valid and resident; the uniform location is valid; the
program is valid; but the driver refuses to bind a 64-bit handle to a
sampler uniform via the program-uniform path.

Fix: switch to N.5's mesh_modern pattern — pass each 64-bit handle as a
`uniform uvec2` (low + high 32-bit halves) and construct the sampler at
the use site via the GLSL `sampler2DArray(handle)` constructor. This
form is what ARB_bindless_texture documents as universally supported and
is what N.5 already uses successfully.

Files:
- terrain_modern.frag: replace `uniform sampler2DArray uTerrain/uAlpha`
  with `uniform uvec2 uTerrainHandle/uAlphaHandle` + `#define`s
- TerrainModernRenderer.cs: cache uvec2 uniform locations; set via
  `glProgramUniform2(program, loc, low32, high32)` per frame
- BindlessSupport.cs: remove now-unused `SetSamplerHandleUniform`,
  leave a comment noting why the helper was retired
- GameWindow.cs: also strip the temporary [TERRAIN-DBG] cursor-wrap
  print added during the perf-baseline investigation

Build green; 114/114 tests in N.5+N.5b filter still pass; user-verified
terrain renders correctly in modern path post-fix. Captured fresh perf
baseline:
- Legacy:  cpu_us median  1.5  / p95  3.0  (1 chunk = 1 glDrawElements)
- Modern:  cpu_us median  6.4-7.0 / p95  9-14 (51 visible LBs, 1 MDI call)

Modern is ~4× slower on CPU at radius=5 because the chunked legacy path
already collapsed the scene to one draw call. The architectural wins
(zero glBindTexture/frame; constant-cost dispatch as A.5 raises radius)
will be documented in T10's perf baseline doc; the spec's
"≥10% lower CPU" acceptance criterion is invalid at radius=5 and needs
revision.

0a77bd1fd7 phase(N.5b) Task 6: TerrainModernRenderer
The new terrain dispatcher. Single global VBO/EBO with a slot
allocator (one slot per landblock, 384 verts × 40 bytes per slot).
Per-frame: build DEIC array from visible slots, upload, dispatch
via glMultiDrawElementsIndirect. Atlas textures bound via bindless
handles set per-frame as sampler uniforms.

Total ~6-8 GL calls per frame for terrain regardless of visible
landblock count (vs today's per-LB binds at radius=2 → ~25 calls,
radius=5 → ~121 calls).

API mirrors TerrainChunkRenderer so GameWindow integration in T8 is
a drop-in field+ctor swap.

dcae2b6b94 phase(N.5): retirement amendment — InstancedMeshRenderer + StaticMeshRenderer + WbFoundationFlag deleted
Final cross-cutting review of N.5 found that Task 15's deletion of
mesh_instanced.vert/.frag left InstancedMeshRenderer orphaned —
ACDREAM_USE_WB_FOUNDATION=0 silently rendered terrain+sky only with
no entities. The SHIP commit's "[x] ACDREAM_USE_WB_FOUNDATION=0 still
works" claim was inaccurate.

Resolution: formal retirement of the legacy renderer path within N.5
instead of deferring to N.6.

Deleted:
- src/AcDream.App/Rendering/InstancedMeshRenderer.cs
- src/AcDream.App/Rendering/StaticMeshRenderer.cs
- src/AcDream.App/Rendering/Wb/WbFoundationFlag.cs

GameWindow simplified — capability detection is unconditional, missing
bindless throws NotSupportedException with a clear message at startup.
WbDrawDispatcher + mesh_modern shader load are mandatory after init.
No escape hatch.

GpuWorldState simplified — WbFoundationFlag.IsEnabled guards on
AddLandblock/RemoveLandblock removed; adapter calls are unconditional
when the adapter is non-null.

PendingSpawnIntegrationTests updated — WbFoundationFlag.ForTestsOnly_ForceEnable
static ctor removed (flag is gone; adapter calls are unconditional).

The ApplyLoadedTerrain physics-data loop was also simplified: the
EnsureUploaded sub-loop that fed InstancedMeshRenderer is gone;
_pendingCellMeshes is now explicitly cleared to prevent unbounded
accumulation (the worker thread still populates it, but WB handles
EnvCell geometry through its own pipeline).

Spec §2 Decision 5 + §10 Out-of-Scope updated. Plan ship-amendment
section added. Roadmap updated (N.5 ships with retirement; N.6 scope
narrowed to perf-only). CLAUDE.md "WB integration cribs" updated.
Perf baseline doc updated. WbDrawDispatcher class summary docstring
corrected to describe the as-shipped SSBO + multi-draw-indirect path.
ISSUES.md #51 updated (terrain not in N.5 scope; deferred to N.7).

Bindless support is now a hard requirement. Modern desktop GPUs
universally expose GL_ARB_bindless_texture + GL_ARB_shader_draw_parameters;
if a user hits the NotSupportedException, that's a real bug report
worth investigating, not a silent fallback.

Build: 0 errors, 0 warnings. Tests: 71/71 (Wb+MatrixComposition+TextureCacheBindless filter).

Numbers populate the SHIP commit's perf table at Task 19.

Silk.NET naming note: GL_TIME_ELAPSED queries use QueryTarget.TimeElapsed
(confirmed present in Silk.NET.OpenGL 2.23.0 DLL). The 64-bit result is
read via GetQueryObject(..., out ulong) which dispatches to
glGetQueryObjectui64v; the int overload (glGetQueryObjectiv) is used for
the ResultAvailable poll, matching WorldBuilder's VisibilityManager pattern.

cfe1ca3151 phase(N.5) Task 11: translucency partition contract test
Locks in Decision 2 (Opaque + ClipMap → opaque indirect; AlphaBlend +
Additive + InvAlpha → transparent indirect). Catches future refactors
that drift the partition — silent visual regression otherwise (groups
rendered in the wrong pass with the wrong blend state).

Adds public static IsOpaquePublic shim on WbDrawDispatcher; the
underlying IsOpaque stays private.

f533414edf phase(N.5) Task 10: glMultiDrawElementsIndirect dispatch — visual verified
Replaces WbDrawDispatcher's per-group glDrawElementsInstancedBaseVertexBaseInstance
loop with two glMultiDrawElementsIndirect calls (opaque + transparent).
Per-frame uploads three SSBOs:
- _instanceSsbo @ binding=0 (mat4 per instance, indexed by gl_BaseInstanceARB + gl_InstanceID)
- _batchSsbo @ binding=1 (BatchData per group, indexed by gl_DrawIDARB)
- _indirectBuffer (DrawElementsIndirectCommand[] — opaque first, transparent second)

GameWindow swaps the shader load to mesh_modern when _bindlessSupport
is non-null. Capability detection + shader load now run in the right
order (capability before TextureCache + before Shader).

Deletes the obsolete DrawGroup stub, EnsureInstanceAttribs, _instanceBuffer,
_patchedVaos. ClassifyBatches + ResolveTexture already migrated in
Task 8 to use ulong bindless handles.

BuildIndirectArrays (Task 9) wired in: _opaqueDraws + _translucentDraws
are flattened into IndirectGroupInput[], laid out via the helper into
contiguous indirect commands + parallel BatchData[]. opaqueByteOffset=0,
transparentByteOffset = opaqueCount × DrawCommandStride.

Visual verification (USER GATE) PASS: Holtburg courtyard renders
identical to N.4 — terrain, scenery, characters, NPCs all visible
without artifacts. [N.5] modern path capabilities present + mesh_modern
shader loaded log lines confirm the boot path. [WB-DIAG] hot-path
counters show healthy entity/draw activity.

b163c53622 phase(N.5) Task 9 fixup: layout assertion + DrawCommandStride const
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.

9a7a250b62 phase(N.5) Task 9: BuildIndirectArrays — CPU layout for indirect dispatch
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.

424d7b9015 phase(N.5) Task 8: InstanceGroup + GroupKey carry bindless handle + layer
Replaces uint TextureHandle (32-bit GL name) with ulong
BindlessTextureHandle (64-bit) in InstanceGroup + GroupKey + ResolveTexture
return type. Adds TextureLayer (always 0 for per-instance composites,
becomes meaningful when WB atlas is adopted in N.6).

ClassifyBatches now calls TextureCache.GetOrUpload*Bindless variants —
these return Texture2DArray-backed bindless handles (Task 3 work).

DrawGroup body throws NotImplementedException — Task 10 rewrites the
whole Draw() method to use glMultiDrawElementsIndirect, which makes
DrawGroup obsolete. CPU-only tests don't invoke DrawGroup so the build
+ test gates stay green; visual launch fails until Task 10 (intentional).

1b6995d2df phase(N.5) Task 7 fixup: BatchData Pack=8 for ulong alignment
Code quality review caught that BatchData uses Pack=4 but contains a
ulong field. With the current field order (TextureHandle first), offset
0 is always 8-byte aligned so std430 works. But adding a 4-byte field
before TextureHandle without bumping Pack would silently misalign the
GPU struct. Pack=8 makes the alignment requirement explicit and adds
a comment documenting expected std430 offsets.

No runtime change — current offsets (0/8/12) are identical under both
Pack values for this field order.
