// Phase 2 shared physics prelude -- the SINGLE definition of every ported function
// consumed by BOTH `spectral_transport.wgsl` (the megakernel, the actually-shipped
// path) and `transport_functions.wgsl` (the standalone kernels Tier 2's per-function
// ULP checks exercise, driven by `renderer::gpu::transport_check`).
//
// # Why this file exists
//
// Before it existed, this physics was hand-copied into both shader files (WGSL has no
// `#include`). The copies could drift -- and once, demonstrably, did: an injected fault
// in `transport_functions.wgsl`'s copy was caught precisely by Tier 2 with an exact
// argmax diagnostic, while the SAME fault in the megakernel's own copy was caught only
// marginally by Tier 3 (a handful of isolated-singleton pixels that would have
// independently passed at that sample budget). Tier 2 was validating a duplicate, not
// the shipped code. See `renderer::gpu::transport_check`'s module doc comment for the
// full story, and the fault-injection re-run recorded there proving this file closes
// the gap.
//
// # How it's wired in
//
// `build.rs` concatenates this file's text ahead of `spectral_transport.wgsl` and
// `transport_functions.wgsl` at build time into `$OUT_DIR/*.generated.wgsl` -- those
// generated files, not the checked-in `.wgsl` files directly, are what
// `renderer::gpu::estimator_check` and `renderer::gpu::transport_check` `include_str!`.
// Neither `spectral_transport.wgsl` nor `transport_functions.wgsl` is valid WGSL in
// isolation any more: both assume every symbol defined here is already in scope, the
// same way a Rust module assumes its `use` imports resolve.
//
// `build.rs`'s `INDICATRIX_BUILD_ID` content hash walks `src/**/*.wgsl` on disk (this file
// included, since it lives under `src/renderer/shaders/`) -- NOT the generated
// `$OUT_DIR` output -- so the hash still fingerprints exactly the physics text that
// ships, just spread across one fewer duplicate copy than before.
//
// # Rules for editing this file
//
// Only functions/types genuinely shared VERBATIM between the megakernel and the Tier 2
// kernels belong here. Do not add bindings (`@group`/`@binding`) or entry points
// (`@compute`) -- those are necessarily per-file (the megakernel's bindings and the
// Tier 2 kernels' per-case bindings are entirely different shapes). A function that
// only one of the two files needs stays local to that file.
//
// P6 exit-event spectral splitting (2026-09-07): the CPU-side physics this pass added
// (`compute_channel_transmission`/`compute_uniaxial_exit_transmission` in
// `optics::raytracer::refraction`) IS ported here -- see the two functions of the same
// name further down this file (~line 1965) -- and wired into `spectral_transport.wgsl`'s
// megakernel and verified by `renderer::gpu::transport_check::p6_exit_splitting`'s Tier 2
// checks.

//
// Task 2 GPU port (frosted girdle finish) moved these here from

// file without a second copy of the constants themselves. A pure move, not a value

// standalone `frosted_bounce_main`/`cosine_hemisphere_main` kernels call the exact same

// comment for why that property matters (a duplicate-vs-shipped-code fault was

//
// # The one deliberate simplification, preserved exactly
//
// `apply_frosted_bounce` is achromatic BY DESIGN: every spectral channel shares the ONE
// direction drawn below (not a per-channel direction) and the ONE broadband
// reflect/transmit split `r_unpol` (computed from the HERO channel's `n1`/`n2`/`cos_i`
// only -- never a per-channel `r_unpol_k`). That is what lets a frosted bounce compose
// with the existing per-channel `path_pdf` bookkeeping and the final
// `spectral_mis_weight`/MIS combination with NO chromatic-termination guard: a smooth,
// finite-support hemisphere BSDF assigns strictly positive density to the realized
// direction under every channel's own hypothetical hero-driven technique (unlike a
// delta BSDF, whose density is exactly zero off its one wavelength-dependent
// direction), so there is no measure-zero mismatch to drop to zero. See
// `optics::raytracer::apply_frosted_bounce`'s own doc comment for the full derivation
// -- this WGSL translation must never diverge from it: no per-channel direction, no
// per-channel `r_unpol_k`, no extra `path_pdf` division (the cosine-weighted-hemisphere
// pdf already exactly cancels the assumed Lambertian `albedo = 1.0` BRDF/BTDF, folded
// into the `1.0 / r_unpol` / `1.0 / t_unpol` throughput scale below).

// P2 full uniaxial Fresnel (Lekner 1991) -- GPU mirror of
// `optics::raytracer::uniaxial_fresnel` (see that module's own Rust doc comment for
// the physics/derivation; this section is a direct, op-for-op translation, the same
// convention every other section of this file already follows -- e.g. the Phase 4
// `Biaxial*` functions above). Deliberately entirely self-contained (no `Cplx`/complex
// arithmetic exists anywhere else in this shader tree) since the CPU module itself
// states explicitly why: "the WGSL mirror needs the exact same explicit re/im
// arithmetic -- a `vec2<f32>`-based complex type there, hand-written
// `add`/`mul`/`div`/`sqrt`, exactly mirrors this" (see `Cplx`'s own Rust doc comment).
// A plain two-field struct is used here instead of `vec2<f32>` purely so field access
// reads `.re`/`.im` (matching the Rust field names exactly) rather than `.x`/`.y`.
//
// Wired into `spectral_transport.wgsl`'s uniaxial entry AND internal-reflection/exit
// dispatch -- see that file's own P2-full section for the branch structure this
// mirrors (`apply_uniaxial_entry_bounce`/`apply_uniaxial_internal_bounce` on the CPU
// side), including the same `k_hat` x `c_axis` degenerate-axis guard.
//
// Verified against the CPU implementation by `renderer::gpu::transport_check`'s
// `run_entry_solve_pair`/`run_internal_solve` Tier 2 ULP checks (feeds IDENTICAL
// `(n1, n_o, n_e, c_axis, frame)` inputs to both `uniaxial_fresnel::entry_solve_pair`/
// `internal_solve` and this section's `entry_solve_pair_with_incidence`/

//
// `compute_channel_transmission`/`compute_uniaxial_exit_transmission` are private
// (module-private, not even `pub(super)`) inside `refraction.rs`, and `narrow_compat`
// is `pub(super)` (visible only within `optics::raytracer`, not from this crate's
// `renderer` tree) -- `refraction.rs` is on this task's protected/coordinator-owned
// list, so its visibility cannot be widened to import these directly the way
// `p2_uniaxial_fresnel.rs` imports the (already `pub(crate)`) `entry_solve_pair`/
// `internal_solve`. `renderer::gpu::transport_check::p6_exit_splitting`'s own CPU
// reference functions are therefore verbatim transcriptions of the real CPU source
// (cross-referenced by file/line in that module's doc comment) rather than a call
// through the module boundary -- the one deliberate exception to this file tree's
// usual "always call the real CPU function" rule, forced by that protection boundary,
// not a design choice.
//
// Constants duplicated locally (`8u` in place of `NUM_CHANNELS`, an inlined `1.0 -
// 1e-6` in place of `DIRECTION_MATCH_COS_TOL`) rather than referencing
// `spectral_transport.wgsl`'s own copies: `build.rs` concatenates THIS file ahead of
// both `spectral_transport.wgsl` and `transport_functions.wgsl` (see this file's own
// header comment), so a name defined only in one of those two files is not yet in
// scope here -- exactly the same reason `R_UNPOL_MIN`/`R_UNPOL_MAX` above are this
