OrdinaryLight v0.7.0

OrdinaryLight 0.7.0

Expand public resident-geometry and GPU graph interfaces, and reduce native GI
preparation, transport, and denoising work.

• Add public triangle BLAS resources and typed native triangle evaluation, alongside procedural AABB geometry. Primary, secondary, and visibility rays share the geometry and optical-boundary contracts.
• Add an optional emitter-influence callback to reject sampled-light connections before visibility. This is an explicitly biased application policy; default behavior accepts all connections.
• Expose typed full and identity-only primary-hit records, native geometry bindings for reusable primary operations, and public GI history invalidation.
• Add bounded persistent upload rings with one-shot packets, explicit cancellation and completion tracking; cache graph scheduling without caching per-frame callbacks or resource leases.
• Reduce resolve and secondary-path initialization traffic, reuse resolve scratch where lifetimes permit, and share denoiser geometry reads across diffuse/specular spatial filtering. Reset frames bypass ineligible temporal history.
• Add opt-in primary diffuse-continuation sampling with reciprocal probability weighting. The default remains 1.0; smooth reflection, transmission and custom scattering retain their existing continuation policy.
• Reject exactly black environment connections before secondary visibility, and correct shadow-work counters to count attempted queries.
• Expose optional Vulkan buffer float32 atomic-add capability for application-authored OrdinaryShade kernels. Unsupported devices retain existing rendering paths.
• Make standalone transport lighting include its generated analytic-light dependencies, and restore compiler/fault-injection regression coverage after shader generation and checkout-layout changes.

All authored shader behavior remains typed OrdinaryShade; generated text and
SPIR-V variants are included. Existing third-party FSR integration is retained.
Experimental scripts and performance reports document accepted and rejected
approaches; their diagnostic settings are not new renderer defaults.

Requires OrdinaryShade 0.1.0a8. Install the matching GitHub release wheels together.
Application-specific voxel averaging and the tuned atomic output policy remain
in vxl8r, outside this renderer release. Performance measurements in the
experiment reports are workload- and hardware-specific.

Quality baselines were explicitly accepted after comparison against v0.6.0:
all six denoiser noise scenarios and the small-emitter roulette case produced
identical quality metrics on the released and candidate implementations.
The denoiser baseline now records the current RTX 5090 Laptop measurements,
retaining existing quality/timing tolerances. The exact small-emitter matrix
configuration uses its measured roulette noise ratio with 15% relative headroom;
other configurations, error limits, and bias limits are unchanged. See
artifacts/release-regression-v0.7.0 for the original audit and release follow-up.

Add public persistent AABB acceleration resources for applications that need
independent static/dynamic or chunk updates before native GI.

• VulkanAabbBlas: leased GPU bounds, reusable build/refit operations and aligned persistent scratch.
• VulkanTlas and VulkanBlasInstance: independently owned BLAS instances, stable custom indices and explicit resource lifetime rules.
• buffer_copy_operation: GPU-to-GPU updates over validated explicit byte ranges, composable before acceleration builds without readbacks or CPU waits.
• Preserve build-range FFI storage through deferred recording and garbage collection.
• Reject premature destruction while borrowers exist and retire pending GPU uses before destruction.

The APIs consume application-owned GPU buffers and export acceleration resources
for VulkanRuntime.import_scene; no dummy triangle scene or private descriptor
overrides are needed. Refits retain Vulkan's fixed-count/layout/active-state
constraints. A range copy does not make an entire BLAS refit partial; partition
geometry into independent BLASes to bound acceleration work. See
docs/public_acceleration.md for usage and synchronization.

Verified with direct GPU ray queries, static BLAS preservation, GPU range updates,
instance identities, deferred build recording, lifetime guards, and vxl8r's
512×512×13 domain. Moving the central object updated 36 of 832 slot chunks;
unchanged frames skipped acceleration updates. vxl8r also uses OrdinaryShade's
new compare-and-exchange intrinsic for exact visible-face averaging. This is
chunked dense resident storage, not yet a fully sparse voxel allocator.
