//! **Reusable separable Gaussian blur pass** (feature `wgpu`) — the GPU substrate
//! for the frosted-glass backdrop blur (`SurfaceSpec::Frosted`, roadmap T2.3) and
//! any post effect that wants a cheap, large-radius blur of an offscreen texture.
//!
//! A 2D Gaussian is **separable** into a horizontal then a vertical 1D pass, so the
//! kernel costs O(2·taps) instead of O(taps²). [`GaussianBlur`] owns the pipeline +
//! a half-(or full-)res **ping-pong** pair of textures (wgpu **panics on read==write
//! of one texture**, so the H pass writes B and the V pass writes back A) + the two
//! per-axis uniforms. The 9-tap kernel weights are computed on the CPU from a σ
//! ([`gaussian_taps`]) so the caller picks the radius; [`blur`](GaussianBlur::blur)
//! records both passes into a caller-supplied encoder and returns the blurred view.
//!
//! Not yet wired into `overlay.rs` (Tier-1 owns that file); this lands the pipeline +
//! the CPU-side kernel math (unit-tested without a device) as the substrate.
