9414863cff perf(sync): scope frame-loop barriers to swapchain image + real per-pass stages (#115)
The inter-pass and acquire/present barriers in the frame loop set both
stage masks to ALL_COMMANDS, and the inter-pass dependency used a
queue-wide VkMemoryBarrier — fully serialising against every pipeline
stage and flushing all caches every frame, when all the next pass needs
is the swapchain image the previous one wrote.

Replace the inter-pass global VkMemoryBarrier with an image memory
barrier scoped to the swapchain image's single colour subresource (as
the intra-pass UI barrier already does), and derive the barrier stage
masks per pass: RenderPass::SwapchainStage() is overridden by UIRenderer
(COMPUTE_SHADER) and RTPass (RAY_TRACING_SHADER), so a compute->compute
edge only serialises COMPUTE while an RT pass pulls in RAY_TRACING — the
acquire/present frame-edge masks use the real union of the frame's
passes (SwapchainStageUnion). The base default and the empty-passes
fallback are the conservative COMPUTE | RAY_TRACING | TRANSFER union, so
a polymorphic or un-overridden pass can only be over- not
under-synchronised.

Adds SwapchainBarrierScope (pure CPU) pinning the per-pass derivation,
the union narrowing, and the inter-pass barrier scope; FrameLoopSync
already drives the real GPU frame loop with validation enabled.

3655cd636c test(mesh): pin static-build deletion count in #67 staging-release test (#110)
Issue #110 reported `crafter-build test MeshDecompressStagingRelease` failing
deterministically on the GPU decompress path: the "exactly one allocation
handed to the deletion queue" assertion saw more than one entry.

Root cause (confirmed at Crafter.Graphics-Mesh.cpp:175-176): a static
(allowUpdate=false) Build cannot refit, so it DeferredClear()s its now-dead
per-mesh BLAS scratch in addition to the compressed staging (#67) — two
deferred allocations, not one. The original test built statically yet asserted
size==1, so the scratch was the unaccounted-for second entry. The behaviour
was already corrected on master by PR #109 (the #73 merge, ed9b3f6), which
switched the assertion's build to allowUpdate=true so the scratch is retained.

This hardens that fix: it adds a sibling case that Builds with allowUpdate=false
and asserts the queue holds exactly TWO entries (staging + dead scratch),
builds with zero validation errors, and that both retire on schedule. The count
the #67 assertion relies on is now a named, explicitly-tested quantity rather
than an implicit comment, so a future change to scratch deferral can't silently
shift it back.

ed9b3f67a7 test+usage: device-local geometry readback + isolate #67 staging count
- Add TRANSFER_SRC to RT geometry usage so device-local geometry (now in
  VRAM, no longer host-mappable) stays copyable/inspectable.
- MeshDecompressStagingRelease: read decompressed vertex/index back via a
  device->host copy instead of the removed host-mapped .value/FlushHost, and
  build the mesh with allowUpdate=true so the retained per-mesh scratch (#66)
  doesn't also land in the deletion queue — isolating the assertion to the
  released compressed staging (#67).

801509d9d5 perf(rt): allocate TLAS metadata buffer in BAR/VRAM, not system RAM (#75)
The TLAS metadata buffer is CPU-written every frame (one userMetadata word
per element in BuildTLAS's copy loop) and read by the ray shaders as a
STORAGE_BUFFER via device address every frame. Allocated
HOST_VISIBLE | HOST_COHERENT (system RAM), every per-frame shader read
traversed PCIe — the same cost the sibling instance buffer paid before #65.

Upgrade the request to HOST_VISIBLE with a best-effort DEVICE_LOCAL preference
(BAR/VRAM), keeping the single persistently-mapped buffer. The CPU's writes are
write-only, sequential, never-read-back — the ideal write-combined BAR load —
and the shader reads now hit local VRAM.

Unlike the instance buffer there is no GPU co-write, so the direct upgrade is
unconditional. Staging is still deliberately avoided: this buffer is rewritten
by the CPU every frame, so a per-frame stage+copy+barrier would defeat the
purpose (#75 caveat 2).

Correctness:
- DEVICE_LOCAL is a preference only (depends on #59): GetMemoryType falls back
  to plain HOST_VISIBLE (the previous behaviour) on GPUs without resizable BAR.
- HOST_COHERENT is dropped from the required set — the combined type may not be
  coherent. A FlushDevice() is added after the copy loop to make the host writes
  available on a non-coherent type; it self-gates to a no-op on a coherent type
  (#60), so the previous behaviour is preserved wherever the type ends up
  coherent. The metadata buffer is not an AS build input and has no GPU
  co-write, so it needs neither the build-stage barrier the instance buffer
  takes nor a HOST->shader command barrier: the queue submit already orders host
  writes made available before it against every command in the submission,
  exactly as it did when this buffer was HOST_COHERENT.

Extends the TLASHighWaterMark hardware test with a metadata-buffer assertion
block mirroring #65's instance-buffer check: the chosen memory type must equal
what GetMemoryType resolves for the HOST_VISIBLE | prefer-DEVICE_LOCAL request,
and must be DEVICE_LOCAL wherever a host-visible device-local type is reachable.
The zero-validation-errors check covers the dropped HOST_COHERENT path.

5f858509c8 perf(mesh): place RT geometry in device-local memory via #89 upload strategy (#73)
vertexBuffer/indexBuffer/aabbBuffer were HOST_VISIBLE (system RAM), so the
BLAS build, every refit, and any hit-shader geometry fetch read them over
PCIe. The usage flags (SHADER_DEVICE_ADDRESS, plus STORAGE on the index
buffer) exist precisely to expose geometry for hit-shader fetch, the dominant
RT shading pattern.

Add VulkanBuffer::UploadDeviceLocal, which places a CPU-written/GPU-read
buffer in device-local memory and picks the upload mechanism at runtime via
the #89 strategy (Device::PreferDirectDeviceWrite):
  - ReBAR/UMA: allocate HOST_VISIBLE|DEVICE_LOCAL (DEVICE_LOCAL preferred),
    map transiently, memcpy, flush-if-non-coherent. No staging buffer.
  - no/small BAR: allocate pure DEVICE_LOCAL + TRANSFER_DST, fill a transient
    HOST_VISIBLE staging buffer, vkCmdCopyBuffer, then DeferredClear the
    staging buffer onto the fence-keyed deletion queue (#101/#102) so it
    outlives the copy submit.

The geometry buffers become non-mapped so the destination is free to be
device-local-only. Same-size re-uploads reuse the allocation, so the device
address stays stable across an in-place AS UPDATE refit. The compressed Build
path now allocates vertex/index as pure DEVICE_LOCAL — the GPU decompressor
fills them directly, no host write.

Tests: BLASBuildOptions asserts device-local placement on the triangle,
procedural, and (budget-forced) staged paths, and exercises the staged copy +
deferred-deletion + in-place refit under GPU-assisted validation with zero
validation errors.

b29b8f0371 test(decompress): cover compressed-staging release on the real GPU path
MeshDecompressStagingRelease drives the real VK_EXT_memory_decompression /
GDeflate path on a headless device and asserts the staging is handed to the
deferred-deletion queue (not pinned), the build is validation-clean with
byte-correct decompressed data, and the entry retires only after framesInFlight
frames. Skips the GPU-path assertions when the extension is absent (CPU fallback
never allocates the staging).

d8bc8a4e45 perf(rt): allocate TLAS instance buffer in BAR/VRAM, not system RAM (#65)
The TLAS instance buffer is rebuilt/refit every frame and is co-written by
both the CPU (host-authored fields) and the GPU (the compute shader writes
the transform field in place for transformOwnedByGpu elements). Allocated
HOST_VISIBLE | HOST_COHERENT (system RAM), both GPU accesses crossed PCIe:
the compute write of the transform, and the AS build's read of the instances.

Upgrade the request to HOST_VISIBLE with a best-effort DEVICE_LOCAL preference
(BAR/VRAM), keeping the single shared, persistently-mapped buffer — no staging,
no copy, no extra barrier. A whole-buffer staging copy was rejected: it would
clobber the GPU-written transforms in this in-place co-write design. Now the
compute write and AS build stay in local VRAM; the CPU's write-only,
sequential, never-read-back field writes are the ideal write-combined BAR load.

Correctness:
- DEVICE_LOCAL is a preference only (depends on #59): GetMemoryType falls back
  to plain HOST_VISIBLE (the previous behaviour) on GPUs without resizable BAR.
- HOST_COHERENT is dropped from the required set — the combined type may not be
  coherent. The existing FlushDevice(cmd, ...) already establishes host->build
  visibility and gates its flush-skip on the *chosen* type's flags (#60), so a
  non-coherent BAR type still flushes correctly. The barrier is never removed.

metadataBuffer gets the same upgrade separately (#75).

Extends the TLASHighWaterMark hardware test to assert the chosen memory type
matches the HOST_VISIBLE | prefer-DEVICE_LOCAL request and lands on a
DEVICE_LOCAL type where one is reachable; the existing zero-validation-errors
check covers the dropped HOST_COHERENT path.

8b008b49d5 perf(mesh): release per-mesh scratch buffer for static BLAS (#66)
A static (!allowUpdate) mesh can never refit, so its per-mesh DEVICE_LOCAL
scratch buffer is dead weight the moment the build's GPU work completes —
yet it was kept alive for the mesh's whole lifetime. In many-mesh scenes
(where static meshes dominate) this is real, accumulating VRAM waste.

Release it via scratchBuffer.DeferredClear() right after recording a fresh
build for a static mesh. The old "free-after-build is a UAF, the GPU is
still building" hazard is gone: the fence-keyed deferred-deletion queue
(#101/#102) retires the allocation only once the build's frame has passed
its fence. A later Refit on a static mesh takes the rebuild fallback, whose
Resize sees the nulled handle and re-Creates the scratch. Refit-capable
(allowUpdate) meshes keep their scratch as before — an in-place UPDATE
reuses it each frame.

Extends the BLASBuildOptions hardware test to assert the scratch is retained
for allowUpdate meshes and released for static ones (including across a
static-mesh refit rebuild), with the validation layer confirming zero errors.

cb012d7068 fix(device): fence-keyed deferred resource-deletion queue (#101)
Since #40 dropped the per-frame vkQueueWaitIdle, frames are pipelined:
a resource the CPU is done with may still be read by the GPU for up to
numFrames-1 more frames. VulkanBuffer::Resize's destroy-and-recreate
path was therefore a live use-after-free (#63), no longer masked by the
wait-idle.

Device gains a monotonic, frame-counter-keyed deletion queue:
EnqueueDeletion tags {buffer, memory} with the current frameCounter;
ReclaimDeletions (called per frame after the fence wait) frees entries
once framesInFlight frames have elapsed; DrainDeletions frees everything
after a wait-idle. VulkanBuffer::DeferredClear hands handles to the queue
and nulls the handle, and Resize uses it instead of immediate Clear().

Window::Render sets framesInFlight at init, reclaims after the per-image
fence wait, bumps Device::frameCounter once per frame, and drains on the
resize / OUT_OF_DATE wait-idle paths. The destructor keeps immediate
Clear() (callers destroying mid-flight remain responsible, unchanged).

Adds the DeferredDeletion test: drives the retire timing on a real
headless device with real buffers, stepping Device::frameCounter to pin
the exact reclaim frame, asserting validation stays silent.

518509aa0e perf(image): batch final mip-chain layout transition (#70)
The mip-generation upload path issued N+1 layout-transition barriers per
chain. The final blit's destination level is never read again, so its
dedicated TRANSFER_DST -> TRANSFER_SRC barrier was redundant: the level was
transitioned to SRC only to keep the final SRC -> consumer transition uniform.

Skip that last per-level barrier and fold the final level into the closing
transition, which now batches two VkImageMemoryBarrier entries
([0, mipLevels-1) from TRANSFER_SRC, the last level from TRANSFER_DST) into a
single vkCmdPipelineBarrier. One fewer barrier call per chain; the N-1
interleaved per-level barriers stay one-at-a-time since each is read by the
next blit. Applied to both the host-upload and GPU-decompress Update paths.

Adds the MipChainBarrierBatch regression test driving the pure barrier
builder (no GPU device needed).

6d7ad87e38 perf(ui): flush only the written descriptor range, not the whole heap (#61)
WriteBufferDescriptor / WriteSampledImageDescriptor / RegisterSampler /
WriteSwapchainDescriptors each FlushDevice()'d the entire multi-KB per-frame
descriptor heap after writing one few-byte descriptor. Add a ranged
VulkanBuffer::FlushDevice(offset, bytes) that flushes only the touched bytes,
rounding the range outward to nonCoherentAtomSize as vkFlushMappedMemoryRanges
requires (the WHOLE_SIZE path sidestepped that). The coherent-memory gate from
issue #60 is preserved — coherent memory still skips the flush entirely.

The descriptor writers now self-flush their written range, so the redundant
whole-heap flushes in UIRenderer::Initialize and the resize callback are gone.

Rounding lives in AlignMappedFlushRange (pure math) and is unit-tested without
a device in the new VulkanBufferRangedFlush test; the change was also verified
end-to-end by running HelloUI on a real GPU with validation layers (font-atlas
glyphs, sampler and storage-image descriptors all flush correctly, no VUIDs).

8e6ba49743 perf(rt): high-water-mark growth for TLAS host-input buffers (#64)
BuildTLAS reallocated the host-visible instanceBuffer and metadataBuffer
on every topology change. They only ever need to hold at least
primitiveCount entries (the AS build reads exactly primitiveCount via
tlasRangeInfo, and the copy loop writes [0, primitiveCount)), so a
shrink — or any growth that still fits the previous capacity — can reuse
the existing allocation. Gate the two Resize calls on a high-water-mark
check, removing two of the four reallocations on a count change. The AS
storage + scratch rebuild below is unchanged: it is tied to the AS
itself and dominates this path regardless.

Adds tests/TLASHighWaterMark driving the real hardware AS-build path: it
asserts a shrink (and within-capacity growth) reuses the buffers while a
growth past the high-water reallocates, that builtInstanceCount still
tracks the live count, and that feeding an oversized instance buffer to
the build produces zero Vulkan validation errors.

b6d0ec5cae perf(buffer): capacity-reuse in VulkanBuffer::Resize (#63)
Resize previously always destroyed + reallocated. It now reuses the
existing allocation in place when the new request still fits the created
capacity and the immutable-at-create properties match: usage flags are
fixed at create, and the chosen memory type must still satisfy the
required property flags. preferredPropertyFlags is a best-effort perf
hint and is intentionally not part of the guard. On reuse the buffer
handle, device address and mapped pointer are preserved; only `size`
shrinks to the new logical extent.

Tracks capacity and the created usage flags on VulkanBufferBase, set at
Create and carried through the move constructor.

Adds VulkanBufferResizeReuse, a device-free regression test that drives
the reuse guard directly and asserts the in-place path issues no Vulkan
call.

cfbe181d9e feat(device): runtime upload-strategy helper PreferDirectDeviceWrite (#89)
Add Device::PreferDirectDeviceWrite(size) so the memory-placement cluster
(#65/#72/#73/#75) no longer re-derives where a CPU-written, GPU-read buffer
should live. It picks the strategy at runtime from Device::memoryProperties:

  - No DEVICE_LOCAL|HOST_VISIBLE type (no resizable BAR) -> false (must stage).
  - ReBAR/UMA (BAR heap >= 90% of largest DEVICE_LOCAL heap) -> true: map and
    write directly; a staging copy would be pure overhead.
  - Small BAR window (BAR heap << VRAM) -> true only for buffers within a
    per-window budget (1/8 of the window); large buffers stage so they don't
    exhaust the window (#58).

Complements GetMemoryType (#59): #59 picks the memory *type*, this picks the
*strategy*. Upload-only — readback (#74) wants HOST_CACHED and stays separate.
A VK_EXT_memory_budget-driven remaining-space check is noted as a follow-up.

Tested by tests/UploadStrategy (pure CPU over synthetic ReBAR / UMA /
small-window / no-BAR layouts, no GPU device needed), mirroring
MemoryTypeFallback.

574242dd30 perf(ui): add additive DispatchFused to collapse consecutive UI passes (#47)
Add a fifth UI compute path — DispatchFused — alongside the four
per-element Dispatch* calls. It composites quads → circles → images →
text (canonical back-to-front order) in ONE dispatch that loads the
destination image once and stores once, eliminating the per-pass
load+store and the inter-pass VkMemoryBarriers a run of consecutive
Dispatch* calls would pay. The win materialises at >= 2 non-empty
categories; an absent category is a zero-trip, push-constant-uniform
loop (~free).

The new uber-kernel (shaders/ui-fused.comp.glsl) reuses each category's
exact cooperative shared-memory tile-cull + per-pixel accumulate, so a
fused category is pixel-identical to its standalone pass. Categories run
sequentially per thread and share one set of shared-memory scratch, so
the VGPR/shared high-water mark stays at the per-category level, not the
sum.

Additive and non-breaking: the per-element Dispatch* calls and the
frozen 48-byte UIDispatchHeader are untouched. DispatchFused gets its own
128-byte push-constant layout (UIFusedHeader: four uvec4 headers + four
per-category clip vec4s). To interleave a custom ui.Dispatch() between
standard passes, bracket it with two DispatchFused calls — the dispatch
boundary is the explicit, app-declared flush point.

WebGPU (Vulkan-second): DispatchFused falls back to the per-element
Dispatch* calls in canonical order — one texture/sampler per dispatch
there can't feed the bindless image phase — so the result matches; only
the load/store fusion is Vulkan-only.

HelloUI now composites its background quads, mouse circle, and label
text in a single DispatchFused. Verified rendering identical on a live
Vulkan/Wayland session.

c169986835 perf(font): cache per-codepoint advances in font units (#57)
Font::GetLineWidth called stbtt_GetCodepointHMetrics for every glyph on
every invocation. InputField_HitTestCursor rescans the whole field once
per character, making caret hit-testing O(n²) in HMetrics lookups.

Memoise advances per Font via Font::AdvanceUnits: ASCII in a flat array,
the rest in a map. Advances are cached in unscaled font *units* and
rescaled per call — Glyph::advance in the FontAtlas is baked at kBaseSize
and is wrong at any other size, so it cannot be reused. The per-glyph
(int) truncation in GetLineWidth is preserved exactly.

Adds the FontAdvanceCache CPU-only regression test covering size
independence of the cached unit advance, the per-glyph-truncated rescale
pipeline, cache-hit determinism, width scaling with size, and the
non-ASCII map path.

65c19ea84a perf(ui): gate per-pixel clip compares behind a flags bit (#50)
uiResolveScreenPixel ran four float compares against hdr.clipRectPx for
every pixel of every UI dispatch, even though the clip rect is the
full-surface default {0,0,1e9,1e9} in the overwhelmingly common case.

Reserve the high bit of the header flags word (UI_FLAG_CLIP) and have
FillHeader set it only when the clip rect is narrower than the surface
(extracted into the unit-testable UIRenderer::ClipFlags). The shader
gates the compares on the bit; the branch is push-constant-uniform so it
never diverges. When the rect covers the surface the skipped compares
could never reject an in-surface pixel, so output is pixel-identical.

Mirrored on the WebGPU/WGSL path (dom-webgpu.js) for parity. Adds the
UIClipFlag CPU test covering the gate decision.

d712218f17 perf(input-field): O(n) cursor hit test via Font::NearestCursorByte (#56)
InputField_HitTestCursor mapped a click x to a cursor byte offset by
calling Font::GetLineWidth on every prefix value[0..i] for i=1..size.
Each call re-walks from byte 0, so the hit test was O(n^2) glyph-metric
lookups (each an uncached stbtt cmap binary search). It also iterated
raw byte boundaries, so on multibyte UTF-8 input it could return an
offset splitting a codepoint — an invalid position for the byte-based
cursorPos.

Add Font::NearestCursorByte: one left-to-right cumulative-advance pass
(O(n) metrics, scale computed once) over codepoint boundaries, returning
the byte offset of the boundary nearest the target. Cumulative advance is
monotonic, so the scan stops past the closest boundary. The hit test now
delegates to it.

Adds tests/InputFieldHitTest, a pure-CPU regression test (no Vulkan
device/window): a px sweep across ASCII and multibyte strings compared
against an independent brute-force nearest-boundary oracle, plus the
left/right/empty/end-of-text edge cases and a codepoint-boundary invariant.

294c1378b5 fix(device): add preferred mask + required-only fallback to GetMemoryType (#59)
GetMemoryType was a bare first-superset match that threw whenever no
memory type satisfied the requested property flags. Callers combining a
mandatory flag with a perf-only one (HOST_VISIBLE | DEVICE_LOCAL for the
descriptor heaps) would then fail allocation on any device without a
host-visible device-local heap (no resizable BAR).

It now takes a `preferred` mask distinct from `required`: a type
satisfying both is chosen first, falling back to a required-only match
when the preference is unavailable, and throwing only when even
`required` cannot be met. VulkanBuffer::Create/Resize gain an optional
trailing `preferredPropertyFlags`, and the descriptor heaps now treat
DEVICE_LOCAL as a preference on top of mandatory HOST_VISIBLE.

This does not touch any flush/barrier behaviour — coherency is not
assumed anywhere here.

Adds tests/MemoryTypeFallback, a pure-CPU test that installs synthetic
memory layouts and exercises selection, preference, fallback, and the
unsatisfiable-required throw.

ca48f79465 perf(text): cache shaped runs in ShapeText (#52)
ShapeText re-decoded UTF-8, re-looked-up every glyph, and recomputed
layout every frame for static strings (DrawText / EmitCenteredLabel run
inside per-frame onBuild). DrawText and EmitCenteredLabel also did a
second full pass over the glyphs to apply alignment.

Memoize the shaped run, keyed by (Font*, pxSize, color, utf8), as an
origin-relative vector<GlyphItem>. A cache hit skips decode/lookup/layout
and just translates the cached run into the output buffer by
(x + alignShift, baselineY). The alignment shift (Center = -advance/2,
Right = -advance) is folded into ShapeText's single pass, dropping the
second loop in both callers. TextAlign moves to the :UI partition so
ShapeText can take it.

Pure CPU memoization — the glyph buffer is fully rewritten and re-flushed
every frame, so a hit is byte-equivalent. A miss still calls Ensure so new
glyphs rasterise and dirty the atlas; hits don't (atlas entries are never
evicted). InvalidateFont drops a font's runs before it is destroyed (the
cache, like FontAtlas's glyph cache, keys on the Font pointer). A soft cap
bounds memory against pathological per-frame-unique text.

Adds the ShapeTextCache test (15 checks): hit == miss byte-for-byte, hits
don't touch the atlas, translate/alignment/truncation/InvalidateFont.

97c79c23ee perf(font): upload only the dirty sub-rect of the glyph atlas (#51)
FontAtlas::Update re-uploaded the entire 1024x1024 R8 atlas (1 MiB)
whenever a single glyph was rasterized, so warm-up / language-switch /
size-churn cost roughly one full-atlas copy per frame that added a
codepoint.

Accumulate a dirty bounding box (FontAtlas::DirtyRect) in MarkDirty as
glyphs are placed, and copy only that sub-rect. On Vulkan this is a new
ImageVulkan::UpdateRegion: the staging buffer keeps the full atlas row
stride, so bufferRowLength stays the atlas width and bufferOffset points
at the rect origin while imageOffset/imageExtent carve out the rect.
Layout transitions stay whole-image (cheap); only the copy extent
shrinks. WebGPU passes the rect straight to wgpuWriteAtlasRegion, which
already took x/y/w/h.

The freshly-zeroed atlas marks its whole extent dirty in Initialize so
the first Update clears the image once; thereafter every untouched texel
stays the zero it was uploaded as, keeping the image byte-identical to
the staging copy.

Tested: new FontAtlasDirtyRect unit test covers the accumulation /
clamp / lockstep-with-`dirty` math (no GPU needed); HelloUI renders text
correctly on both Vulkan (NVIDIA, validation-clean) and WebGPU.

621016f264 feat(window): multi-frame-in-flight frame pacing (#40)
The renderer was effectively single-buffered despite allocating
triple-buffered infrastructure: Render() ended with an unconditional
vkQueueWaitIdle, and a single (presentComplete, renderComplete)
semaphore pair with zero fences was shared for the Window's lifetime.

Rework the pacing model so up to numFrames frames overlap:
- Per-swapchain-image VkFence, signaled by the submit and waited+reset
  before that image's command buffer / descriptor-heap slot is
  re-recorded. Keyed by acquired image index (drawCmdBuffers, the heap
  slots, and the swapchain images are all image-indexed — see
  WriteSwapchainDescriptors). Created signaled so first use passes.
- Per-image render-finished (present) semaphore: the presentation engine
  holds it until the image is re-acquired, so per-image is the only safe
  key (per-CPU-frame trips VUID-vkQueueSubmit-pSignalSemaphores-00067).
- Per-CPU-frame acquire semaphores (image index unknown until acquire
  returns), sized numFrames+1: in-flight depth is bounded by the
  per-image fences, so numFrames+1 distinct acquire semaphores guarantee
  the reused one has no pending op (VUID-vkAcquireNextImageKHR-01779).
- Drop the steady-state vkQueueWaitIdle; keep it on resize / OUT_OF_DATE
  / teardown.

Add tests/FrameLoopSync: drives the real frame loop against a live
Wayland compositor for 60 frames (>> in-flight slots) and asserts the
CPU frame counter advanced, the swapchain rotated across multiple
images, and the validation layer stayed silent — the load-bearing check,
since the old single-pair design only avoided being an active race
because the wait-idle masked it.

8fefb2caef test(rt): headless device-buffer BuildProcedural + refit (#37)
Extend BLASBuildOptions with a device-local AABB buffer filled via a staging
copy + barrier (standing in for a GPU compute producer) fed into the new
device-address BuildProcedural/RefitProcedural. Asserts the build/refit
succeed, the in-place UPDATE keeps the AS handle + blasAddr, the host
aabbBuffer is never allocated (proof of zero-copy), and the validation layer
reports no errors.

ce0114607a test(vulkan-rt): headless BLAS build-options + refit test (#36)
Exercises the real hardware AS-build path: builds and refits triangle
and procedural BLASes with fast-build/fast-trace + allow-update flags
via one-time command buffers, asserting the requested flags land, that
an allowUpdate refit keeps the same AS handle/blasAddr (in-place
UPDATE), that the no-update / topology-change fallback still produces a
valid BLAS, and that the validation layer reports zero errors.

419730f46b feat(input): wire native mouse-wheel scroll on Wayland + Win32, normalize all backends to ±1/detent (#32)
Window::onMouseScroll now fires on every backend and speaks one unit:
signed whole detents packed in the uint32 payload, +1 = wheel down
(DOM deltaY sign).

- Wayland: implement the previously-stubbed PointerListenerHandleAxis —
  vertical axis only, wl_fixed_to_double / 15 (libinput's units-per-
  detent), sub-detent remainder accumulated and reset on pointer leave.
- Win32: add the missing WM_MOUSEWHEEL case — -GET_WHEEL_DELTA_WPARAM /
  WHEEL_DELTA with a remainder accumulator for free-spinning wheels.
- DOM: dom-env.js normalizes WheelEvent.deltaY per deltaMode (100px /
  3 lines / 1 page per detent) with the same remainder scheme, so wasm
  delivers the identical unit instead of raw browser-specific deltas.
- Document the contract on Window::onMouseScroll.
- tests/MouseScroll: compositor-free regression test driving the
  Wayland axis handler directly.

1c310762a7 fix(vulkan-rt): configurable recursion depth + per-shader TLAS push for compute (#21)
Two gaps in the Vulkan RT path that fault the device on the NVIDIA
proprietary driver with a non-trivial pipeline (simple VulkanTriangle
never hit them):

1. maxPipelineRayRecursionDepth was hardcoded to 1, so any closest-hit
   shader that traces a secondary ray (shadow ray — a very common
   pattern) recursed past the pipeline limit (UB → device fault).
   PipelineRTVulkan::Init now takes a maxRecursionDepth parameter
   (default 1, clamped to the device's maxRayRecursionDepth).

2. The NVIDIA descriptor-heap AS-read workaround rewrites every shader
   that reads an accelerationStructureEXT from the heap — including
   compute shaders — to read the TLAS device address from a push
   constant, but only RTPass pushed that address. A compute shader that
   ray-queries the TLAS (rayQueryEXT) therefore ran against an unwritten
   push slot → garbage AS handle → VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST.

   WorkaroundNvidiaAS::Patch now returns a per-shader PatchResult
   {patched, tlasPushOffset} instead of writing the clobber-prone global
   Device::workaroundTlasPushOffset (removed). VulkanShader stores it;
   ShaderBindingTableVulkan/PipelineRTVulkan carry it for RTPass, and
   ComputeShader tracks its own offset and pushes the caller-supplied
   TLAS address in Dispatch (new defaulted tlasAddress parameter),
   mirroring RTPass::Record.

The PushConstantRewrite regression test now asserts Patch's returned
patched/offset and adds two ray-querying compute-shader cases, proving
the rewrite is stage-agnostic and the per-shader offset is correct.

471f480c5d test(vulkan-rt): spirv-val coverage for the push-constant rewrite (#18)
Adds tests/PushConstantRewrite, a host test that compiles representative
ray-generation shaders with glslang, runs the real WorkaroundNvidiaAS::Patch
over them, and asserts with spirv-val (the same invocation vkCreateShaderModule
uses) that the result is valid and contains exactly one push-constant block —
covering both the merge path (shaders that already declare a push constant,
including mat4/vec3/uint, a lone uint, and an array layout) and the synthesize
path, plus a no-op case (push constant but no AS read). It also checks the
published TLAS push offset for each layout.

The workaround namespace is exported so the test can drive Patch directly; both
go away with the rest of the workaround. project.cpp wires the test as an
executable that recompiles the module and requires glslang + spirv-val.
