roxlap-scene 0.3.0

//! Scene-level rendering — drives [`roxlap_core::opticast::opticast`]
//! across the grids of a [`Scene`].
//!
//! Two entry points:
//!
//! - [`render_scene_composed`] (recommended for multi-grid scenes):
//!   per grid, allocates a temporary framebuffer + zbuffer, runs
//!   opticast into the temp, then merges into the shared output via
//!   per-pixel min-z. Correctly composites overlapping grid output.
//! - [`render_scene`] (single-grid trusting caller): writes every
//!   grid directly into the shared rasterizer. For single-grid
//!   scenes this matches a direct opticast call byte-for-byte; for
//!   multi-grid it's last-grid-wins (sky writes from grid B
//!   overwrite grid A's hits). Useful for tests / single-grid
//!   sanity checks.
//!
//! ## S4B.2.e: Approach B multi-chunk dispatch
//!
//! Both APIs route per-grid rendering through
//! [`crate::Grid::chunk_xy_backing`] → [`roxlap_core::ChunkGrid`] →
//! [`roxlap_core::GridView::from_chunk_grid`] → [`opticast`].
//! `opticast`'s prelude looks up the camera's chunk via
//! [`roxlap_core::GridView::chunk_at_xy`]; the grouscan column-step
//! swaps the active per-chunk `(slab_buf, column_offsets)` when
//! rays cross a chunk-XY boundary. The combined-world stitch
//! (Approach C, S4.0..S4.2) is no longer in the render path — the
//! lighting bake still uses it until S4B.4 lands a per-chunk bake.
//!
//! Per-grid rotation (S5) and per-grid LOD (S6) plug in at the
//! same dispatch point: rotate the world camera into grid-local
//! before the chunk-grid lookup, then dispatch coarse / fine /
//! billboard based on grid-camera distance.

// `fb` / `zb` (framebuffer / zbuffer) and the `_fb` / `_zb` suffixes
// throughout this module are voxlap-canonical pairs — drilling them
// apart with longer names just hurts readability.
