bevy-sensor 0.5.4

//! Headless rendering implementation using Bevy.
//!
//! This module provides two rendering modes:
//!
//! 1. **Headless mode** (default): Renders to an image texture without requiring
//!    a window or display. Works on WSL2, CI servers, and any environment without
//!    GPU windowing support.
//!
//! 2. **Windowed mode** (fallback): Uses a visible window for rendering when
//!    headless mode fails. Requires a display (X11/Wayland).
//!
//! # Current Status
//!
//! - **RGBA**: Working via render-to-texture + GPU readback
//! - **Depth**: Working via ViewDepthTexture + reverse-Z conversion
//!
//! # Headless Rendering Architecture
//!
//! The headless renderer:
//! 1. Creates a Bevy app without window plugins (uses ScheduleRunnerPlugin)
//! 2. Sets up a render-to-texture pipeline with RenderTarget::Image
//! 3. Extracts RGBA data via ImageCopyDriver
//! 4. Extracts depth via DepthReadbackNode
//!
//! # Running Requirements
//!
//! Headless mode should work without any display. For windowed fallback:
//! ```bash
//! DISPLAY=:0 cargo run --example test_render
//! ```
//!
//! # Architecture Notes
//!
//! Bevy's `App::run()` does not return cleanly in all configurations. This
//! implementation uses a watchdog thread that monitors for completion and
//! calls `std::process::exit(0)` once the render output is serialized to
//! a temp file. The main thread reads this file after the process would
//! normally exit.

/// transform propagation + render-world extract before the next capture is
/// valid. Historically set to 3 as a conservative cushion; reducing directly
/// shortens per-viewpoint wall-clock since `app.update()` in the batch path

/// Warmup frames at the start of each `PersistentRenderer::render()` call.
///
/// `BATCH_WARMUP_FRAMES = 1` works for inter-viewpoint advancement inside a
/// batch because `extract_and_continue_headless_batch` writes the next
/// camera transform *and* clears the shared GPU readback buffers in the
/// same tick — so the in-flight copy from the previous viewpoint has
/// already drained by the time the next capture is gated.
///
/// In the persistent per-call path, the previous render's output may still
/// be sitting in `shared_rgba`/`shared_depth` (we clear them before the
/// loop, but the pipeline still needs ticks to propagate the new camera/
/// scene-rotation `Transform` writes through `PostUpdate` →
/// `transform_propagate` → `Extract` → render graph → `ImageCopyDriver`
/// before the capture we request actually reflects the new transforms.
///
/// Validated by `test_persistent_renderer_matches_render_to_buffer`. Three
/// ticks of warmup gives Windows/DX12 enough room to drain the previous
/// readback and capture the post-propagation color target:
///   - tick 0: transforms propagate, render runs (no copy enabled)
///   - tick 1: previous in-flight readback drains (no copy enabled)
///   - tick 2: warmup hits 0, capture fires, render runs with copy enabled

// `render()` (despawn SceneRoot, re-issue asset_server.load, respawn). That's
// fine for the parity-gate path (one scene per episode of N viewpoints) but
// wasteful for surface-policy feedback loops where N=1 viewpoint per call and
// the object stays loaded for the whole episode.
//
// `PersistentRenderer` commits to one `object_dir` + `RenderConfig` at
// construction. `new()` loads mesh + texture + spawns the scene root + drives
// one warmup render (output discarded) so PSO compilation and material setup
// are paid up front. `render(camera, rotation)` then only mutates the camera
// `Transform` and (if changed) the scene root rotation, drives the capture
// chain for one frame, and returns. See issue #65.
