//! Edge-avoiding À-Trous wavelet denoiser.
//!
//! Correct spectral dispersion means that once a path refracts dispersively, only the
//! hero wavelength survives -- each sample carries one wavelength's colour rather than
//! an average of eight, producing both the fire and the chromatic speckle in the
//! viewport (the same phenomenon). That noise is removed by filtering (this module) or
//! by more samples, not by making transport less correct.
//!
//! An edge-avoiding À-Trous wavelet filter (Dammertz, Sewtz, Hachisuka, Hensley Danskin
//! 2010), not full A-SVGF: a handful of separable-in-spirit passes, no temporal history
//! or motion vectors, capturing most of the benefit of a full spatiotemporal filter for
//! a fraction of the complexity. Each pass convolves with a widening (dilated) 5x5
//! B3-spline kernel while down-weighting neighbours whose guide buffers disagree with
//! the centre pixel's.
//!
//! # Wiring
//!
//! Self-contained: does not import `optics` or app code.
//! `optics::raytracer::trace_spectral_ray` takes an optional `primary_hit_out` and, at
//! bounce 0 only, copies that ray's [`crate::optics::raytracer::HitRecord`] (`t`,
//! `normal`, `facet_idx`) into it. `apps/indicatrix-cut/src/bridge/render_thread.rs`
//! owns the accumulation buffer and a persistent [`AtrousDenoiser`]: it captures each
//! pixel's first hit into three parallel depth/normal/facet-id buffers, then calls
//! [`AtrousDenoiser::denoise_into`] on the averaged-XYZ accumulation buffer plus those
//! three before tone-mapping. The accumulation buffer itself is never overwritten.
//!
//! ```ignore
//! let mut denoiser = AtrousDenoiser::new(); // persistent, alongside the accum buffer
//! let inputs = GBuffers {
//!     color: &avg_color_buf,        // accum_buffer[i] / current_sample_count
//!     depth: &first_hit_depth,
//!     normal: &first_hit_normal,
//!     facet_id: &first_hit_facet_id, // -1 for background/miss pixels
//!     width, height, spp: current_sample_count,
//! };
//! denoiser.denoise_into(&inputs, &AtrousParams::default(), &mut filtered_buf);
//! // tone-map `filtered_buf` instead of `avg_color_buf`
//! ```
//!
//! When the eight hero wavelengths disperse to different facets on one primary ray, the
//! guide hit is simply the hero channel's own first hit.
//!
//! # Guide signals and edge-stopping
//!
//! Four terms gate every neighbour's contribution, multiplied with the spatial kernel
//! weight:
//!
//! - **Facet identity** (dominant, constant across sample counts): hard Kronecker-delta
//!   weight (`1.0` on match, `0.0` otherwise, see [`facet_weight`]) -- facet index is
//!   discrete geometry, not a noisy estimator, and a blurred facet edge destroys the
//!   crisp cut look.
//! - **Normal**: `max(0, dot(n_p, n_q))^normal_power` (SVGF-style cosine-power weight),
//!   a safety net for normal discontinuities facet id alone might miss; also constant.
//! - **Depth**: `exp(-|z_p - z_q| / sigma_depth)`. A secondary tie-breaker (facets are
//!   planar, so depth is already near-continuous within one); also constant.
//! - **Colour** (the only tapered term): `exp(-||c_p - c_q||^2 / (2 * sigma_color^2))`,
//!   compared as full XYZ distance rather than luminance, since the targeted noise is
//!   chromatic. The only guide sigma that scales with sample count, since colour is the
//!   only one of the four that is actually a noisy Monte-Carlo estimator here.
//!
//! # The taper curve
//!
//! MC estimator error scales as `O(1/sqrt(N))`, so `sigma_color` scales with the
//! expected remaining noise rather than staying fixed -- otherwise at high sample
//! counts the filter keeps smearing real detail no longer distinguishable from noise:
//!
//! ```text
//! taper(spp) = 1 / sqrt(1 + spp / N0)          (N0 = TAPER_REFERENCE_SPP = 4.0)
//! sigma_color_effective(spp) = sigma_color_base * taper(spp)
//! ```
//!
//! `taper = 1.0` at `spp = 0`, `~0.71` at `spp = N0`, `0.447` at `spp = 4*N0 = 16`;
//! smooth and never exactly zero, matching real MC noise.
//!
//! Below `taper < TAPER_IDENTITY_EPSILON = 0.02` (around `spp ~= 10_000`) the filter
//! short-circuits to a plain copy: every neighbour's colour weight is by then
//! numerically indistinguishable from the centre's own weight-of-one, and this also
//! gives an exact bit-identical identity result.
//!
//! # Allocation
//!
//! [`AtrousDenoiser`] owns two `Vec<Vec3>` scratch buffers ping-ponged across passes,
//! resized only on a frame-dimension change -- zero steady-state heap allocation when
//! kept alive across frames. [`atrous_denoise`] is a one-shot convenience wrapper that
//! allocates a fresh denoiser per call; prefer the struct form on any hot path.
