The last of V6's three commits, and the one that makes the backend render. Plan sections: 4.5 (pipelines and the persisted cache), 4.6 (shaders and the committed .spv), 4.7 and 3.3 (clip space, the Y flip and winding), 4.9 and 4.10 (swapchain format and the scissor convention), 4.11 (the probe shader V5 deferred), 5.4 (Target: null means the swapchain image, literally). WHAT RUNS. ACDREAM_RENDER_BACKEND=vulkan now renders a real scene through the whole RHI on the RX 9070 XT: 60,000-plus frames per twelve-second run, 4x MSAA resolving into a B8G8R8A8_UNORM swapchain, GPU timer scopes resolving, a screenshot taken through IGpuDevice.CaptureBackbuffer, and a clean CloseMainWindow exit with the allocator reporting three device-memory objects. WHAT IT DRAWS, AND WHY IT IS NOT THE GAME. V6's milestone is "a full game frame on Vulkan" and on this branch that cannot be the game's own frame. V4c and V4d are parked by 5.5.5 so the world renderers are still raw GL; and the two renderers that DO speak the RHI - TextRenderer and DebugLineRenderer, ported at V4a - both throw for any device that is not a GlGpuDevice, because their loose uniforms and their classic texture-unit sprite binding have no home in the pinned contract yet. Converting them is a V4-class change with its own GL pixel gate, outside this slice's file list. So the backend is exercised through the contract by a scene of our own, and it is not a toy. It uses a device-local mesh arena filled through the staging ring, instance and batch data written straight into mapped ring memory, an offscreen render target whose colour is registered into the global texture table and sampled by a later pass, a BC1 texture with a CPU-built mip chain beside an uncompressed one with a vkCmdBlitImage chain, one multi-draw-indirect covering five quads with gl_DrawID selecting per-draw batch data, a second pipeline with line-list topology bound mid-pass, dynamic cull/front-face/depth-write, push constants, timer scopes, and an MSAA colour attachment resolving into the swapchain image. ORIENTATION, BY INSPECTION. Slice V5's screenshot was a uniform clear and its orientation was right "by construction" - which a uniform clear cannot show. The scene is therefore deliberately asymmetric in both axes: a quadrant card that is red top-left, green top-right, blue bottom-left and white bottom-right, four differently tinted markers at four different corners, and an open L of lines whose short stub rises at its right end. The captured PNG reads correctly in every one of those, including a miniature of the same card in the bottom-right whose own quadrants are also the right way up. The negative viewport height, the front-face inversion and the capture path agree. THE SHADER TOOLCHAIN, AND WHAT IT FOUND. tools/compile-shaders.ps1 drives tools/ShaderCompiler, a small out-of-solution .NET tool over Silk.NET.Shaderc - the same shaderc glslc is built on, through the already-pinned Silk 2.23.0 family. glslc is preferred when a Vulkan SDK is present and reported when it is; neither this machine nor CI has one, and requiring a 500 MB manual install between a contributor and a working checkout is not a reasonable price for a build step. The GLSL sources stay the single source of truth: the Vulkan dialect arrives as a preamble injected after the #version line - ACDREAM_UBO_SET becomes "set = 1,", the texture table becomes a set-2 descriptor array with a required nonuniformEXT accessor, and the shared 96-byte push block is declared with each loose uniform name defined onto its member. The only edits to a shader BODY are mechanical and dialect-level: dropping default-block uniform declarations, which Vulkan GLSL has no such thing as, and assigning explicit varying locations BY NAME across a pair, because ordinal assignment would look identical today and silently swap varyings the first time an author reordered a line. Run over the eight production pairs, exactly one thing happened: none of them compiled, and every failure is a specific source-level fact belonging to a renderer-port slice that has not landed. debug_line needs uView/uProjection converged into one uViewProjection - two matrices are 128 bytes and the shared block is 96. mesh_modern and particle still pass a uvec2 bindless handle as a varying, which is V4t's GpuTextureSlot retype. sky has ten loose uniforms and wants a UBO. ui_text needs uScreenSize/uUseTexture/uTex. particle_mesh needs uTextureIndex to become uTextureIndexA. terrain_modern needs V4d-1's matrix convergence. mesh is the legacy pair with no RHI consumer at all. That inventory is committed as shaders.manifest.json, with each source's SHA-256 and the compiler's own message, and a test re-hashes it so an edited shader that never got recompiled fails a build rather than shipping a stale binary. vk_probe is the pair that does compile, and it is the shader 4.11 already asked for: V5 recorded "build one real pipeline from the committed .spv" as its single deliberate deviation because no toolchain existed. It is Vulkan-dialect only and no GL renderer draws with it, so it forks nothing; it retires when the ported world renderers become the backend's own proof. DESCRIPTORS. Sets 0 and 1 are DYNAMIC buffer descriptors bound per flight slot, so a per-draw range change costs a dynamic offset in vkCmdBindDescriptorSets rather than a vkUpdateDescriptorSets in the hot path - which is what keeps 4.4's zero-writes-per-frame property true for buffers as well as for textures. Ten dynamic storage descriptors is above Vulkan's guaranteed minimum of four, so it is a real requirement rather than a free choice, it fails loudly at layout creation on a device that cannot serve it, and V9's lavapipe row must confirm it. Unused bindings point at a shared dummy range so there is ONE set layout and one pipeline layout; that is why binding a second pipeline mid-pass costs nothing and disturbs neither the descriptors nor the push constants. THE ONE MAPPING FUNCTION. VulkanViewportMapping holds the whole coordinate reconciliation: negative viewport height, the front-face inversion that pairs with it, and - separately - the scissor flip, which the viewport sign does NOT perform. The V3 audit flagged that as a concrete V6 acceptance item and it is the subtle one: vkCmdSetScissor is always top-left-origin, NdcScissorRect emits GL bottom-left rectangles, and getting it wrong clips a doorway aperture from the wrong edge in a scene that has one. Clip space needs nothing, as 4.7 concluded: the cameras already build [0,1]-convention projections. CONTRACT GAP, RECORDED NOT PAPERED OVER. GpuPipelineDescription cannot name its colour-attachment format, and Vulkan bakes that into a pipeline. Offscreen targets therefore adopt the swapchain's B8G8R8A8_UNORM rather than a literal RGBA order - invisible above the API, because an image is sampled through its format's component mapping and the one CPU readback swizzles explicitly. The honest fix is a colour-format field added in a reviewed contract commit, exactly as GpuBlendMode.InverseAlpha and GpuVertexFormat.UByte4UInt were added when V4c and V4d met the same wall. It is documented at VulkanTextureFormatMapping.CanonicalColorAttachmentFormat. The pipeline cache is persisted to the cache directory and validated by its 32-byte header against this device's vendor, device and cache UUID before use. Drivers are required to ignore incompatible blobs, but "required to" is a poor foundation for something that runs before anything else in the process, and the check costs 32 bytes of comparison. Two consecutive launches report "cold" then "reused". Gates: Release build clean; App suite 4056 passed / 3 skipped (4037 at V6b plus 19 new); offline pixel gate PASS at a differing fraction of 5.15e-05 with a same-commit control immediately after it at 2.84e-05 - 29 and 16 pixels of 563,200, the same class of ambient variation the campaign's 15-23 band records, and roughly 19x under the 0.001 threshold on a commit that changes no GL code path. Validation layers could not be run: this machine has no Vulkan SDK, no HKLM\SOFTWARE\Khronos\Vulkan\ExplicitLayers key, no VK_LAYER_PATH and no VkLayer_khronos_validation.json anywhere on disk. Plan 7 already requires one validation-clean run at V7; it needs the SDK installed first and is reported rather than assumed here. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Campaign V slice V6c: the GLSL -> SPIR-V compiler behind
|
|
tools/compile-shaders.ps1.
|
|
|
|
Deliberately OUTSIDE AcDream.slnx and never referenced by AcDream.App. Plan
|
|
§4.6 rules out runtime shader compilation - it would add a native dependency
|
|
and a startup cost for shaders that never change at runtime - so this is a
|
|
build-time tool whose only output is committed .spv artifacts.
|
|
|
|
It uses Silk.NET.Shaderc rather than shelling out to glslc because CI
|
|
runners and this development machine have no Vulkan SDK installed, and
|
|
Silk.NET is already the pinned graphics binding family at 2.23.0.
|
|
tools/compile-shaders.ps1 still prefers a real glslc when one is present.
