Device::Initialize required twelve device extensions with no capability
check. Mesa Turnip (Adreno) lacks six of them: VK_EXT_descriptor_heap,
VK_KHR_shader_untyped_pointers, VK_EXT_device_fault and the three ray
tracing extensions. vkCreateDevice failed there, so not even a UI-only
program could start, although the UI path is compute-only and needs
nothing else that Turnip is missing.
The descriptor heap, ray tracing and device fault are now optional
groups, detected at start-up from the extension list and the feature
bits (Device::descriptorHeapSupported, rayTracingSupported,
deviceFaultSupported). Ray tracing needs the heap; on a device without
it the ray tracing entry points throw a message naming the cause.
Without the heap the same bindless slots live in one update-after-bind
descriptor set per frame, owned by DescriptorHeapVulkan: binding 0
storage images, 1 sampled images, 2 samplers, 3 storage buffers. Slot
allocation, the slot handles, UIDispatchHeader and the UIRenderer API
are unchanged; buffer slots simply stop being offset. Window::Render
binds that frame's set where it binds the heap, every compute pipeline
shares the heap object's pipeline layout, and push data travels as push
constants.
Each UI kernel is built twice from one source. ui-shared.glsl declares
its resources through UI_HEAP_* macros that expand to descriptor_heap
or, with CRAFTER_GRAPHICS_DESCRIPTOR_SETS defined, to set/binding.
<name>.comp.spv and <name>.comp.sets.spv ship side by side and
ComputeShader::Load picks one. The heap build of every shader is
byte-identical to before.
Breaking:
- ComputeShader::Load takes the heap as a second argument.
- DescriptorHeapVulkan is no longer copyable or movable.
- Custom UI shaders declare heap resources with the UI_HEAP_* macros
and are registered twice in project.cpp (see the README).
- project.cpp uses Shader::defines and Shader::variant, so it needs a
crafter-build that has them (Crafter.Build master, fe38cc1 or later).
Also:
- maintenance5 is enabled as a feature, not only as an extension:
every VulkanBuffer already relied on VkBufferUsageFlags2CreateInfo.
- Barrier stage masks drop RAY_TRACING_SHADER on devices without ray
tracing, and ImageVulkan::Create resolves its default consumer stage
to COMPUTE_SHADER there.
- Window refuses a swapchain whose image count is not numFrames
instead of writing past images[]. The limitation itself is #160.
- CRAFTER_GRAPHICS_NO_DESCRIPTOR_HEAP forces the fallback on a driver
that has the heap, so it can be exercised on a desktop GPU.
Verified on an RTX 4090 in both modes under the validation layer, and
on a Fairphone 6 (Turnip, Adreno 810, postmarketOS), where the fallback
is the only path.

A compute shader (aabbs.comp.{glsl,wgsl}) writes the procedural box into a
device buffer that BuildProcedural consumes by device address/handle with no
host copy; the WebGPU path also refits from it each frame so the box breathes.
Verified rendering on both Vulkan (native) and WebGPU (browser).

Regression test for the procedural BLAS path: the same 3x3x3 grid of
unit-box AABBs runs through a PROCEDURAL_HIT_GROUP_KHR group whose GLSL
intersection shader (reportIntersectionEXT) turns each box into a
radius-1 sphere, the any-hit shader punches the spherical-checkerboard
cut-out (visible proof non-opaque geometry runs any-hit), and the
closest-hit shades per-instance tints — the WebGPU example behavior
reproduced natively. Fixed camera in raygen.glsl; the WebGPU/DOM path is
unchanged.

Adds the minimal WebGPU-backend surface an HDR bloom/post chain needs:
1. wgpuCreateStorageImage2D + StorageImage2D<>: runtime rgba16float (or
other format) textures with STORAGE_BINDING|TEXTURE_BINDING usage, no
CompressedTextureAsset upload — GPU-produced HDR targets.
2. UICustomBindingKind::StorageTexture (kind 5): write-only storage-texture
binding carrying a texel format (the freed UICustomBinding::format byte),
wired through all three binding paths (UI custom / RT / plain compute).
Float textures already sample via SampledTexture (sampleType float).
3. PipelineRTWebGPU::Init(..., hdrOutputFormat): RESOLVE writes the linear
accumulator into a user rgba16float texture (RTPass::outTexHandle)
instead of the rgba8unorm canvas, leaving the composite→swapchain pass to
the app. Default RGBA8Unorm keeps the canvas path byte-identical.
Existing RT examples updated for the _pad→format field rename; the default
paths are unchanged (verified RTStress builds + renders).

A 3x3x3 grid of AABB-geometry spheres rendered through an analytic
ray-sphere intersection shader, with an any-hit spherical-checkerboard
cut-out so the background shows through. Exercises both features end to
end on the WebGPU wavefront tracer.
