Introduced EditorShaderCompilerBridge and IShaderCompilationBridge for async shader variant compilation and cache invalidation in the editor. Refactored ShaderLibrary to support the bridge, updating hash/caching logic and triggering compilation on cache misses. Changed pipeline library to use ulong content hashes and added stale pipeline eviction. Updated EngineCore and render code to integrate the new system. Added unit tests for ShaderLibrary cache and bridge behavior. Minor improvements to shader property code generation and test generator.
Refactor shader property system to support runtime reflection via ShaderPropertyType and ShaderPropertyFieldInfo. Introduce strongly-typed Texture2D/3D and Buffer handle structs. Update ShaderPropertiesGenerator to emit field metadata and register it. Move mesh content structs to AssetManager.Mesh.cs and mark as internal. Update DSLShaderCompiler and registry for new property API. Remove obsolete files and clean up namespaces. Add sample TestShaderProperty struct.
Added Debug_Editor/Release_Editor configs to all projects and solution. Refactored test utilities into Ghost.TestCore and updated references. Introduced DXCBindingTest for shader compilation. Updated conditional compilation to use GHOST_EDITOR. Improved platform mappings and performed minor code cleanup.
- Introduced AssetHandlerInfo struct for handler registration and lookup, enabling handler caching and decoupling instantiation from extension/type.
- Changed CustomAssetHandlerAttribute to use required named properties; updated source generator.
- Replaced HandlerTypeId with AssetTypeId throughout metadata, catalog, and sub-asset records for clarity.
- Refactored asset catalog to use connection pooling and local command creation for thread safety.
- Updated asset handler interfaces and implementations to align with new registration system and removed redundant properties.
- Migrated mesh import and meshlet building to async JobScheduler jobs; switched to TLSF allocator and improved safety checks.
- Made meshlet/LOD hierarchy building async and job-based with better memory management.
- Updated usages and tests for new APIs; refreshed project references and package versions.
- Improved documentation and code comments for clarity.
Refactored shader compilation and resource management systems:
- Introduced `DXCShaderCompiler` for HLSL compilation and reflection.
- Added `BuildFinalShaderCode` method for robust shader code generation.
- Replaced raw strings with `ShaderEntryPoint` struct for shader paths.
- Updated `RenderContext` and `RenderGraphContext` for new pipeline methods.
- Added thread-safe resource management methods in `ResourceManager`.
- Introduced `DXCShaderReflectionData` for shader reflection handling.
- Removed redundant code and simplified `ShaderPropertiesRegistry`.
BREAKING CHANGE: Updated shader and resource APIs to use new structures and methods.
Major refactor of render pipeline and shader system:
- Replaced legacy shader properties with source generator and attribute-based HLSL struct generation.
- Introduced ShaderPropertiesRegistry for runtime property layout/code registration.
- Added modular IRenderPipeline, IRenderPipelineSettings, and IRenderPayload interfaces.
- Implemented GhostRenderPipeline and ECS-driven GPUScene management.
- Added experimental DirectX 12 Work Graph support.
- Refactored shader compilation, variant hashing, and caching.
- Updated APIs for consistency and improved codegen for registration.
These changes modernize the rendering infrastructure for advanced features like work graphs and dynamic pipelines.
BREAKING CHANGE: Shader DSL, pipeline, and property APIs have changed. Existing shaders and pipeline integrations must be updated.
