engawa-wgpu 0.1.6

wgpu-backed Dispatcher impl for engawa render graphs. Compiles Material → wgpu::RenderPipeline; walks the compiled graph; dispatches fullscreen-effect passes against any wgpu::TextureView (most commonly a garasu::HeadlessTarget for tests + a winit surface for live).

//! L2 GPU test — catalog end-to-end on a real adapter: a
//! pool-leased scene texture → a catalog graph → `HeadlessTarget`,
//! with `FrameUniforms` carrying the params, and the rendered
//! BYTES read back and asserted (pixel proofs, not WGSL reading).
//!
//! Colorblind: mode `None` must pass pure green through;
//! `Protanopia` must transform pure green per the Machado matrix
//! (r' = 1.052583 clamps to 1.0 → the red channel saturates),
//! pinning the verbatim port at the pixel level.
//!
//! Aurora: `Medium` must visibly draw the curtain above the
//! horizon while the prompt area below it stays scene byte-exact;
//! `Off` and out-of-contract tier words must return the scene —
//! the module's byte-exact pass-through claims, proven on pixels.
