Introduces a full-featured render graph system with pass culling, resource aliasing, and automatic barrier generation. Refactors resource and barrier APIs, improves error handling, and unifies result types. Renderer and render passes now use the new graph-based workflow. Updates shader includes, adds a blit shader, and improves HLSL parsing. Removes dynamic descriptor heaps in favor of persistent ones. Project file now includes the render graph module. Lays the foundation for advanced rendering features and improved memory efficiency.
- Replace old pipeline enums/structs with new strongly-typed PipelineState and enums (ZTest, ZWrite, Cull, Blend, ColorWriteMask)
- Redesign pipeline keying: introduce 128-bit GraphicsPipelineKey, MaterialPipelineKey, and PassPipelineKey for robust PSO caching
- Replace IRenderTargetStrategy with IRenderOutput; add SwapChainRenderOutput and TextureRenderOutput
- Update renderer and window code to use new render output abstraction and handle viewport/scissor updates
- Make ShaderPass a readonly struct and Shader a struct; use ID-based pass lookup for efficiency
- Materials now support per-pass pipeline overrides with new keying
- Add defensive checks in D3D12CommandBuffer; update D3D12PipelineLibrary for new keying/state
- Move test shader to test.gsdef and update for new pipeline state syntax
- Remove obsolete files/interfaces and perform general code cleanups
- Update all usages and parsing logic for new pipeline state system
