.SYNOPSIS
    Campaign V self-differential pixel gate. Captures deterministic offline
    screenshots and optionally compares them against a baseline capture.

.DESCRIPTION
    Every Campaign V renderer-port slice must prove it changed no pixels. The
    connected lifecycle gate needs a live ACE server and the user's attention;
    this gate needs neither. The client is launched WITHOUT ACDREAM_LIVE, so it
    renders the world straight from the DATs, no session is created, and no ACE
    state can be disturbed.

    Coverage: terrain, terrain blending, scenery, static world meshes, sky and
    fog, and the full retained UI (vitals, spell bar, toolbar, chat, radar).
    It does NOT cover EnvCell interiors, particles, or the paperdoll viewport —
    those still need the connected route, so slices touching them (V4e, V4g)
    must additionally be gated by the user.

    Determinism levers, all three forced here rather than left to the ambient
    environment, because a capture that inherits any of them is not comparable
    against one that did not:

      * ACDREAM_DAY_GROUP      -- the sky day group, so weather and the keyframe
        do not drift between runs.
      * ACDREAM_WORLD_TIME     -- the Dereth day fraction. This moves the SUN, so
        it moves every lit surface, not just the sky. Slice V7 measured 22.3% of
        the frame differing between two captures 45 s apart at one stop on one
        backend with this unpinned.
      * ACDREAM_SKY_PHASE_SECONDS -- the cloud sheet's UV scroll, which runs on
        wall time and is independent of the world clock by design.

    ACDREAM_MSAA_SAMPLES is forced to 0 because multisample resolve positions
    are explicitly unspecified across implementations, and at 4x they swamp
    the threshold ninety-fold with two drivers' sample patterns. See plan
    section 5.5.16.

    A fixed warm-up lets streaming settle before the frame is captured.

.PARAMETER Out
    Directory to write this capture into. Created if absent, emptied if present.

.PARAMETER Baseline
    Optional. A directory from a previous capture. When supplied, every PNG is
    compared against its namesake and the script fails on any mismatch.

.PARAMETER WarmupMs
    Milliseconds to let the world stream and settle before capturing. Default
    12000, which reliably reaches a fully populated view on the reference machine.

.PARAMETER DayGroup
    Sky day-group index to pin. Default 0.

.PARAMETER Tolerance
    Per-channel absolute difference allowed. Default 2, matching the project's
    pinned screenshot rule.

.PARAMETER MaxDifferentFraction
    Fraction of differing pixels allowed. Default 0.001, likewise pinned.

.PARAMETER WorldDayFraction
    Dereth day fraction pinned on the launch, in [0, 1). Default 0.5 -- noon, the
    brightest and flattest lighting the day has.

.PARAMETER SkyPhaseSeconds
    Elapsed-seconds value the sky's UV scroll is pinned to. Default 0, the cloud
    sheet's authored origin.

.PARAMETER MsaaSamples
    MSAA sample count forced on the launch. Default 0 -- off, which is what plan
    section 2's pixel-acceptance contract specifies. Pass -1 to leave the quality
    preset alone.

.PARAMETER MaskTopPixels
    Height in pixels of the sky and treeline band excluded from comparison.
    Default 280.

    This is not a fudge factor, and slice V10 re-measured it rather than assuming
    the V7 clock pins had retired it. Two captures at the SAME commit once
    differed in 0.29% of pixels, essentially all of it in the top rows, because
    the sky legitimately animates: clouds scroll on wall time and the Dereth
    clock moves the sun, and therefore every lit surface. Pinning both clocks --
    which this script now does -- shrinks that but does NOT remove it. Measured
    at V10, two launches of the same binary with all four levers pinned:

      whole frame, GL vs GL     1,011 px of 921,600  (1.10e-03)
      whole frame, VK vs VK       482 px of 921,600  (5.23e-04)
      top 280 masked, GL vs GL     10 px of 563,200  (1.78e-05)
      top 280 masked, VK vs VK      8 px of 563,200  (1.42e-05)

    So the band still moves between launches on both backends -- enough that an
    unmasked self-differential on GL fails the 0.001 threshold on noise alone --
    and everything below it is bit-stable to about ten pixels. Masking the band
    is what makes the rest a strict identity check instead of forcing a loose
    tolerance that would hide real regressions everywhere else.

    Consequence, unchanged: this gate does NOT cover sky rendering.

    Do NOT reach for a LARGER value to make a failing gate pass: plan section 7.1
    rule 2. Its legitimate use is diagnostic -- reporting a masked/unmasked split
    so a known, registered band (for instance AD-46's treeline) can be quantified
    separately from the rest of the frame.

.PARAMETER SkipBuild
    Skip the Release build (use when the caller already built).
