backend.rs

//! RenderBackend trait: the union of methods every graphics backend
//! implements, dispatched dynamically by GraphicsSystem so the per-frame
//! step + setup logic lives in one cfg-free copy instead of three.
//!
//! Each concrete backend (MtlContext / DxContext / VkContext) supplies a
//! thin forwarder impl that delegates to the existing inherent methods
//! (see metal/backend.rs, directx/backend.rs, vulkan/backend.rs).
//!
//! Two cross-backend signature variances are handled here:
//!   - `upload_skinned`: Metal uses three shader payloads (vert + frag +
//!     shadow); DX/VK use one (frag). The trait method takes all three;
//!     DX/VK ignore the unused bytes.
//!   - `setup_chunk_streaming`: Metal binds chunk textures per draw and
//!     ignores the (texture_slot, normal_map_slot) args; DX/VK bake them
//!     into a shared descriptor at setup time.
//!
//! `render_stats` has a default no-op impl so a backend with no draw-call /
//! object counters need not override it; all three shipping backends do.
