fccba8390d refactor(render): one group-creation seam, required foliage key field, first-frame wind snap (Campaign VM VM6 review 3)
Narrow re-review of a82959f1: APPROVE, with follow-ups. All items landed.

N2 (structural): (a) extracted the ONE shared InstanceGroup-from-key
construction seam, WbDrawDispatcher.CreateGroupFromKey(key, registration,
frame) — before this there were two near-identical `new InstanceGroup
{ ... }` initializers (GetOrCreateInstanceGroup and GetOrCreatePackedGroup)
that had already drifted once (the round-2 F1 bug). Both routes call it now;
CreateGroupFromKey's own `new()` is the only production InstanceGroup
construction site repo-wide, same precedent as AppendPackedInstance. (b)
GroupKey.FoliageFlags lost its `= 0u` default and moved before CullMode in
the declaration (CullMode keeps its default, C# requires optional params to
trail required ones), so a `new GroupKey(...)` that omits it is a compile
error. Fixed every real construction site the reorder/requirement touched:
the 2 production sites, ToKey (a reconstruction from InstanceGroup the
review didn't count but the reorder broke), and 5 test sites (one more than
the review's "4" — InstanceGroupClearTests had a second, implicit
target-typed `MakeKey` factory the original count missed). Verified by a
full solution build.

N1: added CreateGroupFromKey_CopiesFoliageFlagsFromTheKey
(InstanceGroupClearTests) — a key carrying FoliageFlags 0x2 in, the created
group's FoliageFlags 0x2 out. That test plus N2b's required field are what
actually guard the round-2 F1 blocker; reworded PackedDispatcherOracleTests'
existing test comment to say what IT proves (the classification-to-
BuildIndirectArrays-to-BatchData.flags path), not that it guards the
classifier.

N3: corrected the plan's round-2 paragraph — folding FoliageFlags into the
G2/G3 digest is correct and symmetric, but CompareClassifiedOutput only
runs from RenderScenePViewFrameProductController.BuildAndCompare, which has
no production caller anywhere in src/AcDream.App/, and both of
RenderScenePViewFrameProductTests's own callers construct the controller
without the optional dispatcher argument — so the fold catches nothing
until that oracle is wired to an actual caller.

N4: the plan's F6 note now names both classification caches — the classic
route's EntityClassificationCache.EntityCacheEntry (self-heals per entity
on its own next eviction) and the packed route's
PackedProjectionClassificationEntry/PackedClassifiedBatch.Key
(PackedProjectionClassificationCache.BeginFrame clears its entire cache in
one shot on a RenderSceneGeneration change) — and notes neither mechanism
is keyed to a pack switch specifically.

N5: deleted the now-unused single-generic ComputeEntityHasCutoutSubset<T>
overload; its 4 test call sites now use the two-generic, zero-alloc
overload with an unused int context and a static (_, value) => value
lambda, so there is exactly one ComputeEntityHasCutoutSubset to keep
correct.

A6 (reviewer-filed): ResolveFoliageWind's _windMean/_windGust started at 0
and always eased toward the weather target by clock delta, with no
distinction for a graph's first-ever advance. A pinned clock
(ACDREAM_SKY_PHASE_SECONDS, the offline pixel gate's determinism pin) never
advances between calls, so the wind reached only whatever fraction the
first (1-second-clamped) step produced and sat there forever; live, the
first 10 s after a graph is constructed (pack selection / login) spun up
from dead calm even though the weather already IS what it is. Fixed at the
root: the first advance (_windFrameSerial == -1, the constructor sentinel)
now snaps _windMean/_windGust straight to the target; every later advance
eases over WeatherSystem.TransitionSeconds exactly as before. Added a
SetWindClockSecondsOverrideForTesting seam (_windClockSecondsOverride is no
longer readonly) so a hermetic test can advance the pinned clock by an
exact amount between two resolves without a real-time Thread.Sleep; two new
tests prove the first-advance snap is exact and a second advance still
eases at the normal rate. The three existing indoor/wind-disabled/amplitude
gate tests pass unchanged.

Verify: Release build 0 warnings/0 errors. App hermetic-lane filter
6,046/0 failed. Core.Tests 4,695/0 failed. Full hermetic-filtered solution:
15,274/0 failed across 15 projects.

43e3abed4d fix(render): correct foliage-wind classification, receiver/caster desync, and frame binding (Campaign VM VM6 review)
Opus dual-lens review of the three VM6 commits (0930c35d, 39e8408c,
6cc5e183) found two blockers and two should-fix issues; all landed here
along with the review's nits and documentation corrections.

Blockers:
- A1: the procedural-scenery classifier tested bit 31 alone instead of
  the full top nibble (0xF000_0000 == 0x8000_0000), so it also matched
  LandblockStaticEntityIdAllocator's 0xC... namespace (fences/gates/
  building shells with a cutout subset), the 0xDA11_D0xx paperdoll id,
  and the 0xFFFF_FF01 portal-tunnel id as procedural scenery — all
  three would have swayed. ProceduralSceneryIdAllocator.IsInNamespace
  now does the exact top-nibble test; FoliageWindClassification
  delegates to it.
- A2: GroupKey (the receiver's instance-batching key) did not carry
  FoliageFlags while the caster's dedup key already did, so a scenery
  instance and a non-scenery instance sharing a mesh subset coalesced
  into one receiver InstanceGroup whose flags were last-writer-wins —
  disagreeing with the correctly-keyed caster. GroupKey now carries
  FoliageFlags, computed before key construction and set exactly once
  at group creation; the imperative re-stamp is gone, and CachedBatch's
  now-redundant FoliageFlags field is removed.

Should-fix:
- A3: the world receiver pass bound UniformAtmosphericFrame only by
  accident (leftover from the caster pass, which runs first each
  frame, since Vulkan binding state isn't reset between passes).
  DirectionalShadowFrameBinding now carries the caster's exact
  AtmosphericFrameBufferBinding and BindDirectionalShadowReceiver binds
  it explicitly.
- A4: a Setup-composed tree's opaque trunk part never got the trunk
  flag because HasCutoutSubset is cached per GfxObj part, not per
  entity. FoliageWindClassification.ComputeEntityHasCutoutSubset now
  ORs HasCutoutSubset across an entity's resolved sibling parts once
  per entity, threaded into ClassifyBatches/AddDirectionalShadowBatches
  via a new optional override parameter.

Nits: A5 hashes the per-vertex flutter seed relative to the instance
origin instead of absolute world XY (fp32 sin() precision loss at far
landblock corners), mirrored in both foliage_wind.glsl and
FoliageWindModel; A7 documents the max(maxHeight, 0.5) divide-guard as
a deliberate pseudocode divergence; A8 switches FoliageWindExclusions'
construction to ToFrozenSet() and softens the "never stale" doc
comment to "no slower than one frame behind."

Tests added: top-nibble classification (0xFFFFFFFFu now correctly
false), GroupKey inequality across entity-driven scenery/landblock-
static classification, a caster-batch test proving the same pairing
never coalesces, ComputeEntityHasCutoutSubset unit + end-to-end
two-part-Setup tests, the caster→receiver AtmosphericFrame binding
carry-through, flutter-hash translation invariance relative to
instance origin, and a Storm-wind mid-height displacement floor
guarding against a "no motion" regression.

Docs: plan VM6 body corrected to the five-row WeatherKind table, "bits
1 and 2", "all four" caster shaders, and top-nibble wording throughout;
the owner gate checklist's Rain/Storm step; the stale v1-only shader-
interface compatibility entry; semantic-bindings-v1.md's v2 members
folded into the main 192-byte block; the IA-25 register row's top-
nibble wording; AtmosphericFrameInputs.cs's ABI size reference.

foliage_wind.glsl's A5 change recompiled exactly the five shaders that
include it (mesh_atmospheric.vert, the four directional_shadow_world_*
casters) plus the manifest; no other .spv changed.

Verify: Release build 0 warnings/0 errors. App hermetic-lane filter
6,041/0 failed (no environment-specific failures this run).
RenderPackValidator 30/30. Full hermetic-filtered solution: 15,269/0
failed across 15 projects.

39e8408c7d feat(render): weather-driven foliage wind for procedural scenery, shadows follow (Campaign VM VM6b)
Procedural-scenery foliage (trees/bushes — entity ids in the
ProceduralSceneryIdAllocator's 0x8XXYYIII namespace) sways with weather in
mesh_atmospheric.vert and all four directional_shadow_world_* caster vertex
shaders, both calling the identical new foliage_wind.glsl include so the
shadow moves with the leaf by construction.

Classification (FoliageWindClassification, AcDream.App.Rendering.Wb): two
new BatchData.flags bits, computed once per (entity, subset) from four
inputs — entity id (bit 31 for procedural scenery), the pack's declared
FoliageExclusions membership, the subset's TranslucencyKind, and
ObjectRenderData.HasCutoutSubset (computed once per mesh at build time, not
per frame). Bit 1 marks an alpha-cutout leaf subset; bit 2 marks an opaque
trunk subset (only when its own mesh also owns a cutout subset, so rocks
stay still). WbDrawDispatcher.ClassifyBatches (world receiver) and
AddDirectionalShadowBatches (caster) call this with the same four inputs, so
casters and receivers classify identically without needing to share state.
Retail's mesh_modern/terrain_modern/mesh_detail pipelines never read these
bits, so pack-off output is unaffected.

Motion model (foliage_wind.glsl, mirrored bit-for-bit in the new
FoliageWindModel for hermetic CPU tests): height-squared-scaled slow lean
for every foliage subset, plus branch swing and per-vertex-hash-decorrelated
flutter for cutout subsets only. AtmosphericPostProcessGraph.ResolveFoliageWind
resolves the wind block once per frame.Serial — advanced by whichever of
RenderDirectionalShadows (which runs first) or RenderPostProcess is called
first that frame, with the second reading the already-advanced state, which
is what keeps the caster and receiver reading byte-identical clock/strength
values. The per-day-group mean/gust target (AtmospherePolicyDeclaration.
FoliageWindByDayGroup, keyed by the same day-group index convention
ActiveDayGroupMultipliers already established: Clear/Cloudy/Overcast/Rainy)
eases toward its target over WeatherSystem.TransitionSeconds (10s) so a
weather change never snaps; wind-enabled off or indoor instead gates the
OUTPUT to an exact zero (not an asymptotic approach) so a settings toggle or
cell transition is immediate. The wind clock is a Stopwatch started at graph
construction (monotonic, session-relative magnitude for GPU sin() accuracy),
overridable by the same ACDREAM_SKY_PHASE_SECONDS pin SkyRenderer already
uses, for deterministic offline gates.

New settings: wind-enabled, wind-strength, wind-direction-degrees (225°
default — no authored retail wind direction exists to read),
wind-lean-metres, wind-branch-metres, wind-flutter-metres (0 on Low),
wind-canopy-height-metres.

Register row IA-25 files this as an intentional, strictly opt-in divergence:
retail applies no per-vertex wind displacement to any geometry. Known,
accepted limitation: classification is per mesh-subset (one BatchData.flags
word per indirect-draw batch), not per entity instance, so the rare case of
one mesh subset being reachable from both a procedural-scenery and a
non-scenery placement would classify all of that subset's instances alike.

Tests: FoliageWindClassificationTests (the full classification matrix),
FoliageWindModelTests (identity on non-foliage/calm-wind/base-vertex,
canopy-top displacement bound, z-never-increases, trunk has no flutter
term), RenderPackAtmospherePolicyEvaluationTests (exact day-group lookup,
no interpolation across day-group ids, easing convergence without overshoot
or discontinuity), AtmosphericShaderAbiTests (each of the five shaders calls
acdreamFoliageDisplace exactly once; mesh_modern/terrain/mesh_detail call it
never), and four AtmosphericPostProcessGraphTests additions (indoor/disabled
exact-zero gating, settings-to-UBO wiring, same-frame-Serial idempotency —
the last proxies the caster/receiver agreement invariant without needing
this hermetic harness's WbDrawDispatcher/TerrainModernRenderer dependency
chain to exercise RenderDirectionalShadows directly).

App hermetic filter: 6015/6017 (the same 2 pre-existing failures as VM6a,
confirmed unrelated). Core.Tests hermetic: 4697/4697. RenderPackValidator.Tests:
30/30. Full solution Debug and Release builds green. Shader recompile
touched exactly the 5 edited files' .spv (plus manifest); the retail oracle
set and every other pack shader are byte-identical.
