Major refactor of graphics pipeline keying, shader cache, and resource allocation.
Replaced most Allocator usage with AllocationHandle, modernized logger usage,
and unified pipeline state keys. Updated MeshUtility to use AllocationHandle.FreeList.
Added new shader pipeline architecture docs and improved error handling throughout.
BREAKING CHANGE: Pipeline keying and resource allocation APIs have changed.
Refactored the shader compilation pipeline to introduce modularity, improve performance, and enhance maintainability. Key changes include:
- Added `ShaderCompilationConfig`, `CompilerOptimizeLevel`, and `ShaderStage` enums.
- Replaced `SM` property with `ShaderModel` in shader models.
- Introduced `ShaderLibrary` for in-memory and disk-based shader caching.
- Refactored `DSLShaderCompiler` and `AntlrShaderCompiler` for better hashing and error handling.
- Centralized shader compilation logic in `ShaderCompilerUtility`.
- Removed legacy shader compilation logic from `IShaderCompiler`.
- Updated `RenderGraph`, `ResourceManager`, and `Material` to integrate with the new caching system.
- Improved memory management with `NativeMemoryManager<T>`.
BREAKING CHANGE: Removed legacy shader compilation methods and replaced them with a new caching and compilation system.
Introduce ICleanupComponent and cleanup archetype logic in ECS. Refactor component versioning to uint. Update IResourceDatabase to use map/unmap pattern. Decouple per-frame render requests from RenderSystem via IRenderPayload. Update render pipeline and extraction system to new API.
BREAKING CHANGE: Entity destruction and render pipeline APIs have changed. IResourceDatabase.MapResource signature is updated; all callers must use map/memcpy/unmap. RenderSystem no longer manages per-frame render requests directly.
Added ICommandSignature and D3D12CommandSignature for indirect command execution in the D3D12 backend, with supporting types. Updated ICommandBuffer and IGraphicsEngine interfaces to support indirect execution and command signature creation. Refactored command buffer pooling in D3D12GraphicsEngine for more flexible reuse. Changed BeginFrame and EndFrame to void and clarified parameter names. Updated resource and frame data structures to use direct buffer indices. Added RenderingUtility for buffer and texture uploads. Removed IRenderOutput interface. Updated RenderSystem render loop and HLSL/C# code to match new buffer usage patterns.
BREAKING CHANGE: ICommandBuffer, IGraphicsEngine, and related APIs have changed signatures and behaviors. Indirect command execution is now supported and required for some advanced features.
