dcdd102824 docs(vm1): closeout - AP-232 for the translucent detail blend weight; sampler test pins the production constant
Opus narrow re-review of ae651312: APPROVE. Closes its three residuals:
- AP-232 filed: retail's single-pass stage-1 OUTPUT alpha
  (MODULATE(TEXTURE, CURRENT) @0x0059c549) is the blend weight for a
  translucent subset; acdream's two-draw model is exact for opaque
  subsets (fog identity pinned) and a bounded weight difference on
  translucent ones. Distinct from AP-34 (queue order). Owed since
  05970306.
- TerrainAtlas.DetailSamplerDescription names the production sampler
  (WRAP/LINEAR x3 per ACRender::SetDetailSurfaceInternal @0x006b6280);
  the test now asserts that constant's properties instead of a
  test-local copy.
- Plan VM1 section: fragment now described as fogged; VM1 marked CLOSED
  with the Holtburg measurement (+2.17/+0.57/+0.16 vs predicted
  +2.2/+0.66/+0.16) and the detail-on cost (+0.3-0.5 ms CPU at Arwic).

ae6513126e fix(render): detail overlay is fogged after the combine like retail; VM1 review fixes
Opus dual-lens review of 05970306 + 388457a7 (APPROVE WITH FIXES). Four
items, all landed:

1. FOG (behavioural). Retail's D3D fixed-function fog stage runs AFTER the
   texture-stage pipeline, so the detail contribution must be fogged, not
   just the base. mesh_modern.frag already fogs the base colour
   (applyFog(rgb, vWorldPos)) before mesh_detail's replay draws over it;
   mesh_detail.frag previously emitted raw detail.rgb, understating fog by
   f*a*(fog-detail). Fix: mesh_detail.vert now outputs vWorldPos (mirroring
   mesh_modern.vert); mesh_detail.frag declares the identical SceneLighting
   UBO and applyFog function (copied verbatim, same binding/std140/math) and
   fogs detail.rgb before emitting it. This collapses algebraically to
   retail's fog-after-combine order:
     (1-a)*mix(base,fog,f) + a*mix(detail,fog,f) = mix(lerp(base,detail,a),fog,f)
   RetailDetailTextureContract gains ExpectedFogged(base,detail,opacity,fog,
   fogFactor); RetailDetailTextureContractTests pins the identity across 200
   random samples within 1e-6.

2. EnvCellRenderer.Rhi.cs's DrawEnvCell-category comment still said "apply
   the 10-50 m positive-view-depth fade" — a stale claim from before VM1
   removed the fade. Replaced with the mip-chain attenuation statement that
   mesh_detail.vert's header comment already carries.

3. Added the test the VM1 contract required but never had: TerrainAtlas
   .TryCreateDetailTexture uploads a full mip chain (MipLevelCount ==
   RhiWorldTextureArray.MipLevelsFor(w,h), GenerateMipChain called) and
   registers with the repeat/linear world sampler, not single-level or
   clamped. Drives the private method directly (reflection) against a
   synthetic PFID_A8R8G8B8 RenderSurface through a minimal in-memory
   IDatReaderWriter fake, so the lane stays hermetic (no installed DAT).

4. #226 pseudocode note: noted that retail's stage-1 OUTPUT alpha
   (MODULATE(TEXTURE, CURRENT), 0x0059c549) — the framebuffer blend weight a
   delayed-alpha subset composites with — is not modelled; acdream instead
   draws a second pass weighted by detail.a*diffuseAlpha. Identical for
   opaque subsets, a bounded difference on translucent building/EnvCell
   subsets already covered by the existing AP-34 shared-alpha-queue
   divergence row. Also qualified the tmpmaterial.Diffuse.a = 1f (0x0059cb99)
   citation to name its exact branch (burnedInStaticLights < 0 &&
   *(render_device+0x7e4) == 0); the other branch leaves diffuse FromVertex,
   but the opaque->1 / fading->opacity mapping still holds either way.

Nit also folded in: EnvCellRendererTests' new SubmitRhi instance-alpha test
is now a [Theory] over WbRenderPass.Opaque and .Transparent, pinning the
bind-before-first-draw invariant on both passes.

Regenerated mesh_detail's committed SPIR-V and the shader manifest
(tools/compile-shaders.ps1); no other shader pair changed.

Verified: dotnet build AcDream.slnx -c Release (0 warnings, 0 errors);
dotnet test on AcDream.App.Tests (Release, hermetic lanes) green, including
the shader manifest tests explicitly; AcDream.Core.Tests unaffected/green.
