Caustica Rework 0.1.3

Caustica Rework 0.1.3

Integration of Distant Horizons LOD terrain with scene-linear ray-traced lighting, foliage albedo alignment, and HDR tonemapping consistency.

Added

• Distant Horizons Material Provenance: Implemented authoritative tracking of Distant Horizons materials (`DhMaterialProvenance') and face recipe reconstruction (`DhFaceRecipeResolver').
• LOD Foliage Albedo Alignment: Accurately reconstructed foliage albedo from Near sprite atlas, biome color tinting, and ray-cone equivalent mip selection to prevent dark seams at chunk boundaries.
• Diagnostics Overlay: Added real-time Distant Horizons material, recipe, and residency diagnostics to the F3 debug screen overlay.

Changed

• Scene-Linear DH Relighting: DH distant geometry is relit in scene-linear ray-traced display space with celestial Lambert lighting, sky/block illumination, and tonemapping.

Removed

• Legacy Removal: Removed obsolete Distant Horizons rasterization fallback, dedicated reflection pipeline, and water mask passes.

Fixed

• HDR Tonemapping Alignment: Fixed tonemapping when HDR is active to evaluate the selected tone curve and look operators across available display headroom while keeping paper white normalized and consistent with SDR.

Validation

• 351/351 automated tests PASS
• 7/7 characterization benchmarks PASS
• V2 clean package build PASS
• 0 expected failures, 0 unexpected failures
