A scouting pass over V4d stopped before writing code and reported three gaps between terrain and the pinned contract. All three verified against source.
The load-bearing one: terrain_modern.vert declares locations 2-5 as uvec4 and TerrainModernRenderer feeds them with glVertexAttribIPointer, but GpuVertexFormat had no integer format and the encoder only issued glVertexAttribPointer. GL leaves an integer shader input undefined if it arrives through the float path, and Vulkan needs the format named as R8G8B8A8_UINT rather than _UNORM, so UByte4Normalized cannot stand in for it. Those packed bytes carry terrain-type, road and split-direction codes that drive every blend decision, so normalising them would have produced garbage rather than an approximation. Adds GpuVertexFormat.UByte4UInt and an integer branch in the encoder.
Also adds a uniform binding for terrain's 36-float per-layer tiling array, which at 144 bytes cannot ride in the 96-byte push-constant block or Vulkan's guaranteed 128-byte ceiling, and has no uniform-array verb to reach it otherwise.
Corrects two V4d plan rows: TerrainAtlas belongs to V4t with the rest of the texture stack, and terrain has no GPU timer to port since its diagnostics use a CPU stopwatch. The uView/uProjection convergence gets its own pixel-gated sub-commit because it moves a matrix product from per-vertex GPU evaluation to a CPU multiply, and that rounding effect should be attributable on its own.
Files #250: two zero-allocation tests fail about one run in three on an unchanged tree, independent of this campaign. That noise trains everyone to re-run until green, which is how a real regression gets waved through.

V4a landed on the second attempt at 096dd203, verified independently: offline pixel gate passing at 22 differing pixels against an 8-26 same-commit noise band, App suite at exactly the 3,843/3 baseline, 26 files touched, no encoding damage. Three audits of the reverted first attempt found defects that outlive it - resident bindless handles never released, no test coverage for the Multisample state dimension, and no encoding guard - now tracked as #249.

V3 exists to verify the assumptions the whole Vulkan design rests on, before
V6 builds on them. The central claim held. One plan assumption did not, and
catching it here is the slice paying for itself.
Confirmed: every projection reaching a shader is built by
Matrix4x4.CreatePerspectiveFieldOfView, so NDC z is already [0,1] - Vulkan's
own convention - and no projection rework is needed. There are no orthographic
projections in production at all; the retained UI converts pixel coordinates
straight to NDC with a constant z, so V4a has no matrix to convert. Phase U.3's
clip planes are derived and compared entirely in clip space with plane.z always
zero, making them insensitive to both the depth convention and the viewport Y
flip. SkyProjection.WithDepthRange is the only hand-written matrix edit and it
re-derives the same D3D-convention mapping rather than a GL-style depth scale.
Corrected: the plan specified a B8G8R8A8_SRGB swapchain "matching the GL
FramebufferSrgb contract." That contract does not exist. FramebufferSrgb is
enabled only inside the throwaway capability probe and disabled immediately,
never on the real backbuffer; no texture uses an sRGB internal format; no
shader converts gamma. The renderer is UNORM end to end, so the correct
swapchain format is B8G8R8A8_UNORM. Shipping _SRGB would have applied an encode
to already-display-space values - a global brightening on every frame that
nothing before V7 would have caught.
Two acceptance items carried forward to V6/V7: the Vulkan encoder must flip
scissor rectangles itself, because vkCmdSetScissor is top-left-origin and the
negative viewport height does not affect it; and the V7 differential must
launch both backends with ACDREAM_MSAA_SAMPLES=0, since MSAA is fixed at window
creation and cannot be toggled mid-session.
Filed #248 for FrustumCuller's near-plane extraction, which uses the GL
[-1,1] Gribb-Hartmann formula against [0,1] matrices. It is provably
over-inclusive rather than over-culling, and it is pure CPU math untouched by
the backend swap, so it is tracked rather than fixed inside this campaign.
No code changed, so the pixel gate is trivially satisfied.
