STAGE_AO flags a two-sided depth spike (the smaller one-sided step two pixels out, capped by the
second difference: ~0 on planes, grazing planes, silhouettes and contact creases) and stores the
smoothness in alpha. STAGE_BLUR turns the spike density of its 4x4 window into a foliage mask,
widens the depth tolerance there (up to 11x) and scales the occlusion by 1 - 0.4 * mask. Smooth
windows are unchanged. WOW_AO_DEBUG=5 shows the mask. LIGHTING.md documents this and the two
earlier followups fixes.

On load, Cvars::reapply_saved_presets writes the saved graphicsQuality rung (and the saved
lightingQuality rung, else the Graphics rung's) over every governed row the file does not carry,
so a row registered after the save follows the preset instead of its registered default. Rows the
file carries and session-owned rows stay; Custom writes nothing. Tests for both ladders.

The static world caster rebuilds only on 16 yd of camera drift. The refresh that invalidates it
when streamed geometry arrives lived in the volumetric-fog plugin and was gated on that cvar, so
with volumetricFog 0 a standing camera never picked up trees and doodads that streamed in late.
The refresh now lives in world_shadow.rs and is gated on worldShadows only (Classic unaffected).

The detail drift was `(0.011, 0.0043) * t`, so the field jumped to a new
pattern when the sky clock wrapped at 86400 s. `value_noise_plane` now takes
a lattice period and hashes cell indices modulo it; the detail plane tiles
every CLOUD_TILE = 64 cells (octave o every 64 << o, the half-rate domain
warp every 32), and the drift is whole tiles per wrap, CLOUD_DRIFT_TILES =
(15, 6), i.e. 0.01111 and 0.00444 cells/s (+1% and +3% over WarcraftXL's
rates). The shader takes the drift as `fract(tiles * t / SKY_WRAP) * tile`,
so the field at the wrap equals the field at 0, and the drift term stays
below 64 instead of growing to ~950 in f32. One tile spans 1.78 of the
sheet's UV, wider than the dome shows, so no spatial repeat is visible.
A test reads `sky_fx.wgsl` and pins SKY_WRAP to SKY_CLOCK_WRAP_S, an even
tile, whole tiles of drift and the rates within 5% of the originals.

At skyQuality >= 1 the dome and cloud materials were rewritten every frame
only because `fx.y` carried the sky clock, so each frame re-prepared both
material bind groups. The clock now lives in `SkyClockBuffer`, a 16-byte
STORAGE | COPY_DST buffer created beside the shared light buffer
(AssetSet::Open) and bound read-only by both materials (sky binding 101,
cloud binding 103), the same shape as the materials' shared `light_buf`.
The render world writes `SkyClock::secs` into it in PrepareResources each
frame. `fx.y` is now reserved (0), so `write_gated` only touches a material
when a real input moves. The clock is still our own f64 accumulator with
the seamless 86400 s wrap (Bevy's globals.time wraps hourly); capture mode
still freezes it. A headless build with no RenderDevice gets no buffer and
spawns no sky or cloud dome.
Verified: cargo check -p benilla; cargo test -p benilla-world --lib (643

Graphics Preset ladder + Render Distance (farclip ceiling 1497). Conflict in
options_tests: the Advanced page now has 33 rows (preset + render distance lead,
then the 31 programme rows). The three round-3 rows join the ladder:
ambientOcclusion 0/0/1/2/2, zoneSkyboxes 0/0/1/1/1, lampFog 0/0/1/2/2
(Classic/Low/Medium/High/Ultra); the preset tooltip names them (EN+RU).

The grade snapped to the new zone's LUT pair on the frame `CurrentArea`
changed. `GradeBlend` now holds the current and previous pairs and fades
between them over GRADE_FADE_S = 2 s: the view binds a second day/night
pair (bindings 6, 7; identity when there is none) and `control.z` is the
current pair's weight, `control.w` the previous pair's strength. The shader
runs the previous pair through the same day/night blend at its own
strength and mixes, only while z < 1. A zone with no row fades to identity
(strength 0) instead of cutting; stepping back across the border mid-fade
reverses the fade from the image on screen. The first graded zone after
login, and a disabled grade, snap. Missing LUTs still bind the identity cube.

wet_hook gains shelter_taps/shelter_cell/shelter_amount (bilinear over
four cells; sheltered when a covered top is >= ~1 yd above the fragment,
the roof's own surface stays open). terrain, wow_model and static_gx
mirror the region after monkey and scale wet exposure by 1 - shelter
(wet_puddles takes exposure, so no puddles under cover); enhanced_water
suppresses rain rings under bridges/roofs via its row view. The lookup
runs only while wetness > 0 and the header is active, so a dry frame is
unchanged.
Verified: the wet_hook + receiver/water lookup snippets composed and
validated with naga_oil 0.20 / naga 27 (scratch harness; unpack2x16float
avoided - it needs a float16 capability). Full receiver shaders were not

128x128 cells of 0.75 yd around the camera, recentred in 16-cell steps.
Filled by vertical rays against the collision world (the precip ground
oracle's SpatialQuery + body filter): top surface, then down each hit
until an air gap >= 1.2 yd marks the column covered. Cover is eroded two
cells (drip margin) and 3x3 blurred (soft edge), packed with the top
height into one u32 per cell. 192 casts/frame while filling (nearest
first), 32/frame refresh once full; idle and header off when dry or

Advanced Graphics gains a Graphics Preset row (cvar graphicsQuality:
Classic / Low / Medium / High / Ultra / Custom) and a Render Distance slider
on farclip (177..1497, same cvar as Graphics' Terrain Distance). The ladder is
GRAPHICS_PRESETS in cvars.rs, one line per governed row with a column per
rung; lightingQuality is itself a row, so the lighting ladder's members follow
it. The lighting ladder gains an Ultra rung (4096 sun map, 16/8 torch maps,
High water, High volumetric fog). The label is re-derived every frame beside
lightingQuality, so editing a governed row shows Custom.
A player whose config.toml names no graphicsQuality is seeded to High at
startup over the rows the file does not carry; captures, tests and malformed
files never seed, and the rows keep their per-lane registered defaults. The
page's Defaults lands on High too. ambientOcclusion, zoneSkyboxes and lampFog
are commented one-line TODO rows until their cvars land.
Verified: cargo test -p benilla-app --lib -- options cvars preset (136
passed, incl. 7 new preset tests); full benilla-app lib: 3722 passed, 5
pre-existing failures unrelated to this change (spell envelope float, schedule
ambiguity ceiling, pipe_warm fog/shaft/shadow lanes, dev-plane cfg). The
options UI tests need WoW data and were skipped; no captures (no install in

FARCLIP_RANGE now ends at FARCLIP_MAX = 1497 (the 1.12 slider grid of 60
carried to n = 22), a documented deviation: Modern fog already stretches the
fog end past 777 with farclip, so a longer view is visible. Terrain residency,
the model/WMO and particle walls follow farclip; at 1497 residency is at most
7x7 ADT tiles against 777's 5x5, which is the memory bound. The art-scope
sweep radius rises to 7 tiles to stay clear of the widest resident reach.

Colour grading and sun shafts built a fresh `UniformBuffer` (a new GPU buffer)
inside their render-graph node every frame. Each view now owns one small
UNIFORM | COPY_DST buffer, created the first frame the effect is on and
rewritten in place with `RenderQueue::write_buffer` in
`RenderSystems::PrepareResources`, the same shape as bloom's prepare-time
uniform. The node only binds it. The pass still gates on the extracted view
component, so the kept buffer never runs a disabled pass.

The radial blur read the scene depth 28 times per full-resolution pixel. A
new mask pre-pass (`fs_mask`, R8Unorm at ceil(w/2) x ceil(h/2)) loads the
depth once per half-res texel and thresholds it with the same sky test
(depth <= 1e-7 on infinite reverse-Z); the blur then takes 28 clamp-to-edge
bilinear taps of the mask. Only the mask stage is MSAA-specialised (single
and multisampled depth layouts, one pipeline each); the blur pipeline is
keyed by the target format alone.
Verified: cargo check -p benilla; all four WGSL variants (blur, blur +
MULTISAMPLED, SHAFT_MASK, SHAFT_MASK + MULTISAMPLED) compose and validate

RenderSubmesh carries stage 1 (texture, UV set, transform, Mod/Mod2x) for
textureCount 2 batches; M2Vertex reads UV1. WowModelExt gains a stage1
uniform + texture binding 94/95 and the WOW_STAGE1 shader def, so every
one-texture batch compiles the old code. The skybox lane binds stage 1 on
its own material copies and drives its transform rows.

Review B4: the Stormwind window split changed the default image with no switch.
New cvar daylightWindowSplit (default 1 = merged behaviour, a future High-only
preset member), bridged to daylight::set_window_split. Review B5: each settled
exterior torch slot is keyed by the resident tiles whose footprint reaches its
sphere (terrain_torch_generation_near), not a global stamp that re-rendered
every slot on any stream event.

Review W4: the bend height was normalised per submesh, so a trunk + canopy
detail doodad tore apart at the seam; the span is now taken over all of the
model's submeshes. Review W5: clutter meshes carry UV_1 (VERTEX_UVS_B), so the
six clutter pipelines are also warmed on the POS+NORMAL+UV0+UV1+COLOR quad.

Review B9: update_sky_colors and update_cloud_fx read the cloud coverage with no
order against tick_clouds, so the glow's cover sample was this frame's or the
last one's nondeterministically. New CloudTick set; both run after it.

Review B2: the f32 clock wrapped hourly and every star's twinkle jumped at the
wrap. It now accumulates in f64 and wraps at 86400 s; the shader rounds each
twinkle rate to whole cycles per wrap, so the stars are seamless. The High
cloud detail drift still re-patterns once per 24 h (noted).

Review B3: floor(cycle) % 50 keeps the ring roll continuous across the 1000 s
wrap. B8: publish the ripple clock only while it rains. B7: nudge the wet
sheen half-vector off zero. B6: WORD_WINDOW batches are excluded from wet
darkening.

Review P4: emissive_boost now lifts only above a 0.6 knee (equal to the old
gain at 1.0), so additive spells and lava keep their look and the excess feeds
the bloom. Review P3: the window gain applies to static_gx's SIDN light term
before fog, not to the whole fogged batch. Review P6: Low-tier extract taps
scale with the quarter-size target. Review P7: excess capped at 64 (no NaN).

Review P1: the path mean lifted every clear sky pixel equally; it is now the
occlusion ratio times an aspect-corrected radial falloff from the sun.
Review P2: sky = depth <= 1e-7 (cleared / sky-pinned), no longer a nearclip-
dependent ramp. Review P5 (partial): read one MSAA sample per tap.

The integration wrapped the final gamma colour in fog_sky_horizon, whose weight
is 1 at 0 deg, so the sunset glow was erased at the horizon. Mix the Modern far
fog colour into the linear gradient before the glow and stars (review A1) and
return from the SKY_FX branch; the Classic tail keeps fog_sky_horizon.

Bit 18 aliases the top lane-weight bit and bit 12 of the interior probe slot,
so doorway units and probe-lit interior props swayed like trees. A classified
leaf batch's fade-band exile now gets marked copies of its cutout/blend

wow_model.wgsl sways only those.

The wave phase was k*speed(t)*t (its rate grows with session age: ~33 Hz noise
after 10 min) and its spatial term rotated about the world origin with the veer
(hundreds of rad/s at 9k yd from the first second). Now update_wind integrates
travel += speed*dt in f64 and publishes it wrapped at 4096 yd (wind_b.x); every
wave rate is a whole number of cycles per wrap, so the wrap is seamless. The
spatial term uses the fixed profile heading (wind_a.z); the veer and gust turn
only the bend. Capture offset WOW_CAPTURE_WIND_T for late-session shots.
