// Large inside-facing cube used as a skybox.

// Wound CCW from the interior. The floor face is included to prevent the clear
// colour showing at the horizon or beyond terrain edges.
//
// The blue channel is set to 2.0 (outside the [0, 1] scene range) so the
// fragment shader can identify sky vertices with a simple threshold and skip
// diffuse lighting on them.
//
// UV layout is present for legacy compatibility; sky rendering now uses the
// view-direction rather than UV so the values do not affect the output.
