The transitional path for slices V4a-V4g needs no special API after all.
On GL, BeginPass binds the target framebuffer and applies load ops but
deliberately leaves viewport and scissor to the encoder, so a renderer
being ported mid-campaign opens a Load/Store pass against the backbuffer
and gets exactly today's behavior while the frame spine still owns clears.
One less contract concept, and one less thing for V4h to unwind.

Campaign V migrates the renderer from OpenGL 4.3+extensions to a single
Vulkan 1.3 backend on Windows x64 and Linux x64, then deletes the GL path.
Motivation is compatibility and efficiency, not rescue: mandatory
GL_ARB_bindless_texture is the exact floor that parked Slice L (Mesa
D3D12/llvmpipe lack it) while Vulkan descriptor indexing is core, and
per-frame data can be written straight into mapped memory rather than
copied through BufferSubData.
V0 pins the contract every later slice codes against. Nothing consumes it
yet, so this commit changes no runtime behavior.
The seam is a minimal Vulkan-shaped RHI implemented FIRST on GL. That
ordering is the point: the twelve renderers then port one at a time under a
strict pixel gate on the still-shipping backend, so a divergence is
attributed to one slice instead of surfacing at a big-bang integration.
Duplicating renderers per backend was rejected because WbDrawDispatcher is
4,449 lines holding only ~62 GL call sites — the API surface is small and
the retail-fidelity CPU logic is large, and forking the latter is how subtle
regressions enter.
Contract highlights:
- GpuBindingModel pins set/binding numbers dual-legal for GL and Vulkan
GLSL. Storage bindings 0-8 keep today's shader numbering; UBOs move to
their own set, which resolves the binding=1 collision GL only tolerates
because it keeps SSBO and UBO tables separate.
- GpuRingAllocation is a ref struct replacing every per-frame
BufferSubData; the compiler forbids outliving the owning frame.
- GpuTextureSlot replaces bindless handles. Unassigned is a loud
uint.MaxValue sentinel rather than a silent resolve to slot 0 — the
failure mode behind the magenta 1x1 UI placeholder bug. Renderers
needing a fallback take the device's really-registered default slot.
- Renderers always speak GL winding/viewport conventions; the Vulkan
backend compensates with a negative viewport height in exactly one
mapping function.
Verified while writing the plan: acdream's cameras already build
[0,1]-NDC projections (PortalProjection.cs:12-13), which is Vulkan's
convention. No projection rework is needed and depth precision improves,
at the cost of shifted z-fight patterns — the one pre-approved divergence
class, registered per instance at V7.
Gate: Release build green; App suite 3,785 passed / 3 skipped (3,763
baseline plus 22 new contract tests). Note for later slices, recorded in
the plan: run the suite in Release. LandblockBuildOriginTests'
far-strip test asserts behavior that LandblockStreamer.cs:505 deliberately
turns into a loud Debug.Assert in Debug builds, so a Debug run shows one
pre-existing failure that is not a regression.

Move remote-motion construction, CreateObject vector initialization, final simulation-component retirement, and the combined J5 ownership ledger into Runtime. Delete App compatibility views and moved-state reconstruction while preserving the existing graphical projection and retail update order.
Move projectile component identity, prediction invalidation, spatial worksets, authoritative corrections, and the retail physics step into AcDream.Runtime. Keep App as the DAT-shape and presentation adapter so ACE outcomes and visible behavior remain unchanged.
Move the sole PhysicsEngine, production cache, collision admissions, canonical bodies and hosts, remote components, ordinary/remote worksets, simulation, cell commits, and shadow synchronization under RuntimeEntityObjectLifetime. Keep App as the prepared-asset, animation-input, and render-projection adapter while preserving the named-retail update and collision order.

Move the canonical local movement controller, body/motion managers, object clock, movement wire data, and MTS/jump/AP sender into AcDream.Runtime. Replace process skill defaults with typed Runtime character options, make graphical and direct commands borrow one autorun owner, retain the construction-time PartArray seam, and include movement in terminal ownership convergence.
Preserve the accepted pre-inbound movement/jump and post-inbound autonomous-position order while moving the exact packet/cadence fixtures into Runtime tests. Add graphical/direct parity, two-instance isolation, teardown, allocation, architecture, and divergence-path coverage.

Route production meshes and attached particles from the exact retained PView frame ranges, while keeping the former WorldEntity partition only for standalone tests and explicit diagnostic/oracle probes. Copy retained source/count facts before arena release so world diagnostics no longer require the old partition. Record the accepted G4 visual gate and open the exact G5 production matrix.

Derive attached particle owners from the exact retained PView route stream with a zero-allocation warm path. Correct G4 gate provenance, record the current production-only RDP sample, and keep G5 old-route deletion explicitly blocked until the reapplied retained cutover passes its connected visual gate.
Detach old-world spatial ownership atomically, prioritize destination retirement dependencies, and reveal the viewport at the retail transition edge. Give private paperdoll views independent mesh ownership and retain dormant ACE entities so portal revisits preserve server objects without extending active GPU lifetimes.
Reuse the PView frame input, publish mutation-invalidated landblock views, and avoid constructing optional shadow iterators while preserving title and lifecycle visibility facts.
Source composite warmup from the canonical published destination neighborhood, including quiesced static and live projections, instead of rescanning the retained Far-tier world after every membership edge.
This lifecycle correction applies to both draw paths, preserving ef1d263337 as the sole G4 visual rollback.

Scan published destination candidates under a separate bounded budget from expensive mesh and composite preparation so large retained worlds cannot exhaust the reveal window before candidate discovery completes.
The correction is valid on both the retained and pre-cutover draw paths, so the G4 visual rollback remains the single commit ef1d263337.

Make the incremental render scene the production entity source at the existing retail PView stages while retaining the accepted dispatcher upload and draw executor. Keep diagnostics consumer-gated, retain ordered indices across unchanged frames, refresh only dirty records, and preserve exact mesh-load, selection, alpha, lighting, and route lifecycle semantics.
Inbound state continues while portal reveal blocks ordinary world simulation. Synchronize only the derived render projection after those hidden-frame network and command phases so the first revealed draw cannot observe a stale live transform, without advancing effects, particles, attachments, or lights.
When counts diverge, preserve ordered comparison and report the first concrete extra or differing payload. Include retained-classification state in downstream mismatch logs so reveal-edge lifecycle failures can be attributed without weakening the referee.
Retain appearance classification per projection while refreshing transforms, clip slots, lights, selection lighting, and group instance payloads each frame. Incomplete resources and active animation remain on the live classification path, and only an exact full packed comparison acknowledges scene dirtiness.
The production dispatcher forces transparent deferral off when no top-level VAO was resolved, even if the frame alpha queue is active. Carry the same per-draw VAO sentinel into the compare-only packed classifier so its empty-submission state is exact rather than sampling only the later queue state.
Build a compare-only dispatcher classifier from RenderFrameView and compare complete opaque, alpha, selection, clip, light, texture, transform, and draw payloads against the accepted path. Preserve retail's stable equal-CYpt ordering with explicit draw-local submission ordinals so material-group history cannot affect alpha ties.
