Resolves the divergence-register conflict: kept the accurate per-VERTEX AP-35
(Fix A shipped per-vertex; main's row was the stale pre-Fix-A per-pixel text),
kept main's UI rows AP-37..AP-42, and renumbered this branch's torch-gate row
AP-37 -> AP-43 (AP-37 was taken by main's LayoutDesc row). AP count 41 -> 42.
Retargeted the AP-37 references in WbDrawDispatcher + the CHECKPOINT to AP-43.
Marked ISSUES #140 RESOLVED (b7d655b) with the corrected root cause.

The Holtburg meeting-hall facade washed out warm/bright vs retail. The round-1
checkpoint blamed torch REACH (acdream Falloff 6×1.3=7.8m vs a supposed retail
Falloff 4). That theory is WRONG, and this commit fixes the real cause.
Empirical (HoltburgTorchFalloffProbeTests, headless dat dump via the production
LightInfoLoader): the orange entrance torch (setup 0x020005D8) is raw dat
Falloff 6 and acdream reads it FAITHFULLY — there is no Falloff-4 torch anywhere
in Holtburg. Both clients read the same dat float, so reach was never inflated.
Decomp (read verbatim + corroborated by an independent adversarial workflow):
retail's per-object torch binder minimize_object_lighting (0x0054d480) is gated
in RenderDeviceD3D::DrawMeshInternal (0x0059f398) by `if (Render::useSunlight == 0)`.
The outdoor landscape stage runs useSunlightSet(1) (PView::DrawCells 0x005a485a,
before LScape::draw), so the building EXTERIOR shell — drawn via
DrawBlock→DrawSortCell→DrawBuilding→CPhysicsPart::Draw→DrawMeshInternal — is lit
by SUN + ambient ONLY; torches are SKIPPED. The static bake
(SetStaticLightingVertexColors 0x0059cfe0) is EnvCell-only. So retail NEVER
torch-lights outdoor objects. This exactly explains the isolation test (object
point lights OFF → building matches retail).
Fix: WbDrawDispatcher.ComputeEntityLightSet gates per-object torch selection on
the object being INDOOR (ParentCellId is an EnvCell, (id&0xFFFF)>=0x0100) via the
pure predicate IndoorObjectReceivesTorches. Outdoor objects (building shells with
null ParentCellId, outdoor scenery, outdoor creatures) keep the all-(-1) light
set ⇒ sun + ambient only = retail. The indoor "no sun" half is already handled by
the global sun-kill when the player is inside a cell (UpdateSunFromSky). No
dungeon regression: EnvCell statics get ParentCellId set (keep torches).
Divergence register: AP-37 (residual: acdream keys sun/torch on the object's own
cell + a per-frame player-inside sun-kill, vs retail's per-draw-stage useSunlight;
only matters for through-doorway look-ins). The round-1 CHECKPOINT got a RESOLVED
banner correcting the reach theory.
Tests: WbDrawDispatcherTorchGateTests (7), HoltburgTorchFalloffProbeTests (dat
dump). App 280/1skip, Core 1486/2skip green. Held at the visual gate — not merged.

Same-instant cdb proved acdream ambient (0.447) == retail (0.4465) and time/sun match,
so the building/character over-brightness is NOT the bake/wrap/EnvCell/clamp (D-1..D-4,
all correct but off-target) — those light the wrong surfaces. The Holtburg building
exterior is a mode-0 OBJECT (IsBuildingShell, not an EnvCell). Isolation (object point
lights gated OFF) made it match retail => cause is the torch REACH being too long
(acdream range 7.8 = Falloff 6x1.3 vs retail 5.2 = Falloff 4x1.3), flooding the small
facade. OPEN: confirm same-torch Falloff acdream-vs-retail before tightening the reach.
Diagnostic shader hack reverted (tree clean); D-1..D-4 kept. Branch not merged.
