Fixes two critical energy conservation violations in PBR lighting:
1. Sun emission missing π division (CRITICAL)
- Direct lighting was 3.14x too bright because sun color
was not divided by π while BRDF diffuse term already was
- Added / PI division to all sun color calculations (4 locations):
* Volumetric lighting (line 242)
* PBR direct lighting (line 453)
* Non-PBR blocks direct lighting (line 486)
* LOD mode direct lighting (line 519)
- This reduces direct lighting energy to physically correct levels
2. IBL environment map not pre-filtered
- Environment map was sampled at fixed mip level 8.0
regardless of surface roughness
- Added MAX_ENV_MIPS = 8.0 constant
- Now samples mip level based on surface roughness:
* PBR blocks: envMipLevel = roughness * 8.0
* Non-PBR blocks: envMipLevel = 0.5 * 8.0
- Rough surfaces get blurrier ambient reflections
- Smooth surfaces get sharper ambient reflections
Impact:
- Sunlit surfaces are ~3.14x less bright (physically correct)
- Ambient reflections now properly vary with roughness
- Tone-mapping handles reduced energy appropriately
- Shadows more visible in sunlit areas

…252) * refactor(vulkan): add PipelineManager and RenderPassManager modules Add new subsystem managers to eliminate god object anti-pattern in rhi_vulkan.zig: - PipelineManager: manages all graphics pipelines (terrain, wireframe, selection, line, G-Pass, sky, UI, cloud) and their layouts - RenderPassManager: manages all render passes (HDR, G-Pass, post-process, UI swapchain) and framebuffers These modules provide clean interfaces for PR1 of the rhi_vulkan refactoring: - init()/deinit() lifecycle management - Separate concerns for pipeline vs render pass creation - Ready for integration into VulkanContext Part of #244 * refactor(vulkan): address code review feedback for PR1 Fixes based on code review: 1. Extract magic numbers to named constants: - PUSH_CONSTANT_SIZE_MODEL = 256 - PUSH_CONSTANT_SIZE_SKY = 128 - PUSH_CONSTANT_SIZE_UI = sizeof(Mat4) 2. Add shader loading helper function to reduce code duplication: - loadShaderModule() handles file reading and module creation - Applied to terrain pipeline creation 3. Document unused parameter in render_pass_manager.init(): - Added comment explaining allocator is reserved for future use Part of #244 * refactor(vulkan): add null validation and shader loading helpers Address code review feedback: 1. Add null validation in createMainPipelines: - Check hdr_render_pass is not null before use 2. Remove unused allocator parameter from RenderPassManager.init(): - Simplified init() to take no parameters 3. Add shader loading helper functions: - loadShaderModule() - single shader loading - loadShaderPair() - load vert/frag together with error handling Part of #244 * refactor(vulkan): apply shader loading helpers to sky pipeline Apply loadShaderPair helper to reduce code duplication in sky pipeline creation. Part of #244 * refactor(vulkan): apply shader helpers to terrain and UI pipelines Apply loadShaderModule and loadShaderPair helpers to reduce code duplication: - G-Pass fragment shader loading - UI pipelines (colored and textured) Part of #244 * refactor(vulkan): apply shader helpers to all remaining pipelines Apply loadShaderModule and loadShaderPair helpers throughout: - Swapchain UI pipelines (colored and textured) - Debug shadow pipeline - Cloud pipeline All shader loading now uses consistent helper functions with proper defer-based cleanup and error handling. Part of #244 * refactor(vulkan): integrate PipelineManager and RenderPassManager into VulkanContext Add manager fields to VulkanContext: - pipeline_manager: PipelineManager for pipeline management - render_pass_manager: RenderPassManager for render pass management Managers are initialized with default values and ready for use. Next step is to update initialization code to use managers. Part of #244 * refactor(vulkan): initialize PipelineManager and RenderPassManager in initContext Initialize managers after DescriptorManager is ready: - pipeline_manager: initialized with device and descriptors - render_pass_manager: initialized with default state Managers are now ready for use throughout the renderer lifecycle. Part of #244 * refactor(vulkan): address critical code review issues Fix safety and error handling issues: 1. Add g_render_pass null validation in createMainPipelines 2. Add errdefer rollback for pipeline creation failures 3. Fix null safety in createDebugShadowPipeline: - Use orelse instead of force unwrap (.?) - Properly handle optional pipeline field assignment Part of #244 * refactor(vulkan): migrate HDR render pass creation to manager (PR2-1) Replace inline createMainRenderPass() calls with RenderPassManager: - initContext: use ctx.render_pass_manager.createMainRenderPass() - recreateSwapchainInternal: use manager for recreation - beginMainPass: update safety check to use manager Part of #244, PR2 incremental commit 1 * refactor(vulkan): update all hdr_render_pass references to use manager (PR2-2) Replace 16 references from ctx.hdr_render_pass to ctx.render_pass_manager.hdr_render_pass Part of #244, PR2 incremental commit 2 * refactor(vulkan): remove old createMainRenderPass function (PR2-3) Remove 158 lines of inline render pass creation code.

Part of #244, PR2 incremental commit 3 * style(vulkan): format code after render pass migration * refactor(vulkan): migrate G-Pass render pass to manager (PR2-5) - Replace inline G-Pass render pass creation with manager call - Update all 11 g_render_pass references to use manager - Remove 79 lines of inline render pass code Part of #244, PR2 incremental commit 5 * fix(vulkan): correct readFileAlloc parameter order in loadShaderModule - Fix parameter order: path comes before allocator - Wrap size with @enumFromInt for Io.Limit type Part of #244 * refactor(vulkan): remove old createMainPipelines function and migrate pipeline creation (PR2-6) - Replace pipeline creation calls with PipelineManager - Remove 350 lines of inline pipeline creation code - Update pipeline field references to use manager Part of #244, PR2 incremental commit 6 * style(vulkan): format after pipeline migration * refactor(vulkan): migrate swapchain UI pipelines to manager and cleanup (PR2-7) - Replace createSwapchainUIPipelines calls with manager - Update destroySwapchainUIPipelines to use manager fields - Remove old inline pipeline creation code (-112 lines) Part of #244, PR2 incremental commit 7 * fix(vulkan): add manager deinit calls to prevent resource leaks - Call ctx.pipeline_manager.deinit() to destroy pipelines and layouts - Call ctx.render_pass_manager.deinit() to destroy render passes and framebuffers - Remove duplicate destruction of old fields (now handled by managers) Fixes validation errors about unfreed VkPipelineLayout, VkPipeline, and VkDescriptorSetLayout Part of #244 * fix(vulkan): remove duplicate pipeline layout creation (PR2-8) Remove 111 lines of old pipeline layout creation code that was duplicating what PipelineManager already does. These layouts were being created but never destroyed, causing validation errors. Fixes: VkPipelineLayout not destroyed errors Part of #244 * refactor(vulkan): remove deprecated ui_tex_descriptor_set_layout field (PR2-9) Remove old ui_tex_descriptor_set_layout field from VulkanContext since it's now managed by PipelineManager. Part of #244 * fix(vulkan): resolve resource cleanup issues (PR2-10) 1. Add defensive null check in deinit to handle partial initialization 2. Add destruction for post_process_descriptor_set_layout that was being leaked (was marked as 'NOT destroyed' in comment) Validation errors resolved: - VkDescriptorSetLayout not destroyed: FIXED - All child objects now properly cleaned up Part of #244 * fix(vulkan): simplify deinit to avoid segfault (PR2-11) Remove the defensive null check that was causing a segfault. The managers handle null values internally, so we don't need extra checks in deinit. Part of #244 * fix(vulkan): add initialization tracking to prevent cleanup crash (PR2-12) Add init_complete flag to track whether initialization succeeded. Check this flag in deinit to avoid accessing uninitialized memory. Add null pointer check for safety. Part of #244 * fix(vulkan): add safety checks in deinit for partial initialization (PR2-13) Remove init_complete tracking and add null checks instead: - Check if vk_device is null before cleanup - Early return if device was never created - Prevent crashes when accessing frames.dry_run Note: Exit crash persists - appears to be timeout-related signal handling issue Part of #244 * fix(vulkan): defensive deinit with null checks (PR2-14) Wrap all Vulkan cleanup in null check for vk_device Only proceed with cleanup if device was successfully created Prevents crashes during errdefer cleanup when init fails Note: Exit segfault persists - requires deeper investigation of timeout/signal handling during initialization cleanup Part of #244 * fix(vulkan): resolve segfault during cleanup (PR2) Fix double-free bug that caused segfault during initialization failure: - Remove errdefer deinit() from initContext to prevent double-free - Add init_complete flag to VulkanContext for safe cleanup tracking - Remove duplicate initializations from createRHI (ShadowSystem, HashMaps) - Increase descriptor pool capacity for UI texture descriptor sets - Migrate ui_swapchain_render_pass to RenderPassManager The segfault was caused by initContext's errdefer freeing ctx, then app.zig's errdefer calling deinit() again on the freed pointer. Validation errors during swapchain recreation remain as a known non-fatal issue - descriptor set lifetime management needs future work. Fixes PR2_ISSUE.md segfault issue. * fix(vulkan): migrate ui_swapchain_render_pass to RenderPassManager properly Fix critical initialization bug where createSwapchainUIResources was storing the render pass in ctx.ui_swapchain_render_pass (deprecated field) instead of ctx.render_pass_manager.ui_swapchain_render_pass. This caused createSwapchainUIPipelines to fail with InitializationFailed because the manager's field was null. Changes: - Update createSwapchainUIResources to use manager's createUISwapchainRenderPass - Update destroySwapchainUIResources to destroy from manager - Update beginFXAAPassForUI to use manager's field - Update createRHI to remove deprecated field initialization - Remove errdefer deinit() from initContext to prevent double-free - Add UI texture descriptor set allocation during init Fixes initialization crash introduced in PR2 migration. * fix(vulkan): add dedicated descriptor pool and defensive checks for UI texture sets Add proper fix for validation errors during swapchain recreation: 1. Create dedicated descriptor pool for UI texture descriptor sets - Pool size: MAX_FRAMES_IN_FLIGHT * 64 = 128 sets - Type: COMBINED_IMAGE_SAMPLER - Completely separate from main descriptor pool used by FXAA/Bloom 2. Allocate UI texture descriptor sets from dedicated pool during init - Ensures these sets are never affected by FXAA/Bloom operations - Added error logging for allocation failures 3. Add defensive null check in drawTexture2D - Skip rendering if descriptor set is null - Log warning to help diagnose issues 4. Add proper cleanup in deinit - Free all UI texture descriptor sets from dedicated pool - Destroy the dedicated pool 5. Initialize dedicated pool field in createRHI Validation errors persist but app functions correctly. The handles are valid (non-null) but validation layer reports them as destroyed. This suggests a deeper issue with descriptor set lifetime that may require driver-level debugging. * Revert "fix(vulkan): add dedicated descriptor pool and defensive checks for UI texture sets" This reverts commit bce056c. * fix(vulkan): complete manager migration and descriptor lifetime cleanup * fix(vulkan): harden swapchain recreation failure handling * fix(vulkan): align render pass manager ownership and g-pass safety * docs(vulkan): document swapchain fail-fast and SSAO ownership
…254) * refactor: separate LOD logic from GPU operations in lod_manager.zig Extract LODGPUBridge and LODRenderInterface into lod_upload_queue.zig. LODManager is now a non-generic struct that uses callback interfaces instead of direct RHI dependency, satisfying SRP/ISP/DIP. Changes: - New lod_upload_queue.zig with LODGPUBridge and LODRenderInterface - LODManager: remove RHI generic, use callback interfaces - LODRenderer: accept explicit params, add toInterface() method - World: create LODRenderer separately, pass interfaces to LODManager - WorldRenderer: update LODManager import - Tests: updated to use mock callback interfaces Fixes #246 * fix: address PR review findings for LOD refactor Critical: - Fix renderer lifecycle: World now owns LODRenderer deinit, not LODManager. Prevents orphaned pointer and clarifies ownership. - Add debug assertion in LODGPUBridge to catch undefined ctx pointers. Test mocks now use real pointers instead of undefined. Moderate: - Remove redundant double clear in LODRenderer.render. - Add upload_failures counter to LODStats; upload errors now revert chunk state to mesh_ready for retry and log at warn level. - Add integration test for createGPUBridge()/toInterface() round-trip verifying callbacks reach the concrete RHI through type-erased interfaces.

MERGE WITH FIXES
The PR is high quality and ready to merge after addressing the three MEDIUM priority issues, particularly the error handling in lpv_system.zig:setSettings(). The architectural improvements significantly enhance maintainability and the new lighting system is well-integrated. The extensive refactoring successfully eliminates god objects without breaking existing functionality.
Make LPV grid reconfiguration transactional with rollback, surface occlusion allocation failures, and clean up partial LOD manager init on allocation errors. Add runtime LOD bridge context checks, support larger shader module loads, and return UnsupportedFace instead of unreachable in greedy meshing.
