Major architectural update to graphics/material/shader system:
- Introduced strongly-typed key structs (Key64/Key128) for passes, variants, and pipelines; removed legacy key types.
- Implemented robust hashing and key generation utilities for efficient variant and pipeline lookup/caching.
- Shader compiler now compiles/caches all keyword variants using new key system; includes handled as lists.
- Switched to push constant root signature for per-draw data; updated HLSL and C# codegen accordingly.
- Refactored Material, Shader, and Pass data structures for cache efficiency and variant support.
- Pipeline library and PSO management now use 128-bit keys and variant-specific caching.
- Replaced WorldNode with SceneNode in editor/scene graph; introduced ComponentManager for archetype/query management.
- Migrated math utilities to Misaki.HighPerformance.Mathematics; updated editor controls.
- Updated all HLSL and codegen for new buffer/push constant layouts and macros.
- Misc: project reference cleanup, D3D12 Work Graph support, doc updates, and code modernization.
Introduces a new Ghost.Shader.Concept project implementing a modern, data-oriented material and shader system with:
- Global/local keyword bitsets (fast O(1) ops, 64 bytes)
- Multi-pass shader program and per-pass render state overrides
- Thread-safe, 16-byte aligned material property blocks
- Material pooling to reduce GC pressure
- Batch renderer for efficient PSO grouping and async variant warmup
- Full demo (Program.cs) and extensive documentation (ARCHITECTURE.md, README.md, PROJECT_SUMMARY.md)
- Minor integration: new enums, doc updates, and keyword handling in existing code
No breaking changes to the existing engine; all new code is isolated. This serves as a reference implementation for high-performance, extensible material/shader architectures.
- 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
- Updated Misaki.HighPerformance package versions in Core and Graphics projects.
- Added IsTrimmable to Ghost.Engine.csproj for trimming support.
- Renamed GetOrRegisterComponent to GetOrRegisterComponentID and updated all usages.
- Component registration codegen now uses a static class with [ModuleInitializer], no longer requires [EngineEntry].
- Improved JSON serialization: added string support, introduced Utf8JsonObjectScope/ArrayScope, and new extension methods for cleaner JSON writing.
- Removed [SkipLocalsInit] from Hierarchy and LocalToWorld.
- Fixed Entity.Invalid to use INVALID_ID for both fields.
- Minor cleanup: clarified comments, reorganized Ghost.Generator in solution, and disabled component serialization generator.
Major ECS API overhaul: added ComponentSet, refactored ComponentRegistry, and updated all entity/component creation methods. Introduced robust custom serialization infrastructure and per-component source generators for registration and (de)serialization. Updated editor, engine, and test code to use new APIs. Improved code quality, naming, and performance throughout. Removed obsolete code and updated dependencies.
