+# GhostEngine Asset Registry — Design Analysis & Recommendations
+
+## 1. Your Current Design at a Glance
+
+Your current approach is **Unreal-style packed binary** (`.gasset`):
+
+```
+┌──────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│ AssetMetadata (128 bytes, fixed)             │
+│   FormatVersion ─ ID ─ TypeID ─              │
+│   HandlerVersion ─ DependencyCount ─         │
+│   DependenciesOffset ─ SettingsOffset/Size ─  │
+│   ContentOffset/Size                         │
+├──────────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│ Settings blob (struct → raw bytes)           │
+├──────────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│ Content blob (e.g. ImageContentHeader + raw) │
+├──────────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│ Dependencies (Guid[])                        │
+└──────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+The AssetRegistry maintains an in-memory GUID↔path index by reading the first 20 bytes of every `.gasset` on startup, with a `FileSystemWatcher` for live updates. A planned SQLite backend (`AssetRegistry.Backend.cs`) would persist this catalog.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Unreal vs Unity — The Trade-Off Matrix
+
+| Dimension | Unreal (Packed Binary `.uasset`) | Unity (Raw File + `.meta` sidecar) |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Source control** | Opaque blobs — merges impossible, diffs useless | Raw files are human-readable; `.meta` is text YAML — mergeable |
+| **Import speed** | One file to open per asset | Two opens per asset (source + meta), but meta is tiny |
+| **Runtime loading** | One `seek+read` → done (no re-import step) | Must "import" (cook) before runtime loading; raw files are editor-only |
+| **Artist iteration** | Must re-import through editor | Can drop a PNG in Explorer & it auto-imports |
+| **Dependency tracking** | Embedded in the binary — self-contained | External DB (`.meta` GUIDs + Library/) — can desync |
+| **Asset settings versioning** | Binary struct layout is fragile | YAML/JSON → easy to add fields with defaults |
+| **Corruption resilience** | One corrupted byte → whole asset lost | Source file is unaffected; re-import fixes derived data |
+| **Build pipeline** | Already cooked (or close to it) | Separate cook step needed for builds |
+| **Team discoverability** | "What is this .gasset?" → need editor to inspect | "It's a PNG, I can open it anywhere" |
+
+### Key Insight
+
+> Unreal doesn't actually store source data inside `.uasset` for most asset types. Unreal stores the **cooked/processed** representation. The source data (FBX, PSD, etc.) lives outside the engine's asset system — artists use a separate "source art" folder. The `.uasset` is a **derived artifact**, not the source of truth.
+
+Unity's insight was: **leave source files alone, store metadata beside them, and derive everything else into a Library/ cache.** The `.meta` sidecar is tiny (GUID + import settings in YAML), version-control-friendly, and the actual imported data lives in `Library/` (a local, regenerable cache).
+
+---
+
+## 3. Current Design — Issues Found
+
+### 3.1 Binary Settings Are a Versioning Nightmare
+
+```csharp
+// TextureAssetHandler — writes settings as raw struct bytes
+Unsafe.WriteUnaligned(ref address, settings.Basic);
+Unsafe.WriteUnaligned(ref Unsafe.Add(ref address, ...), settings.Advanced);
+```
+
+**Problem:** Adding a single field to `BasicSettings`, `AdvancedSettings`, or `SamplerSettings` changes the struct layout. Every existing `.gasset` file becomes unreadable because the byte offsets shift. You have `HandlerVersion` in the metadata, but no migration logic — and you'd need one per handler per version.
+
+> [!CAUTION]
+> This is the #1 pain point of the Unreal approach in practice. Epic has dedicated teams managing asset versioning with `FArchive` custom serialization + version tags. For a small team, this is a massive maintenance burden.
+
+### 3.2 Source File Is Destroyed on Import
+
+```csharp
+// OnFileSystemOp — line 224
+File.Delete(assetPath);  // ← deletes the original source file!
+```
+
+After import, the source `.png` is deleted and only the `.gasset` remains. If the user wants to change import settings (e.g. switch from BC7 to BC5 for a normal map), they need to find the original source file elsewhere and re-import.
+
+### 3.3 Handler Discovery Is O(N × M) per Call
+
+```csharp
+// GetAssetHandlerForExtension — line 326-338
+foreach (var handlerType in AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies()
+    .SelectMany(assembly => assembly.GetTypes())
+    .Where(type => typeof(IAssetHandler).IsAssignableFrom(type) ...))
+```
+
+This scans **every type in every loaded assembly** on each call. It's called from `OnFileSystemOp` (FileSystemWatcher callback — frequent!) and `ImportAssetAsync`. The `_cachedHandler` dictionary helps for repeat loads, but the initial scan is expensive and runs every time a new extension is encountered.
+
+### 3.4 `async void` in FileSystemWatcher Callback
+
+```csharp
+private async void OnFileSystemOp(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs e)
+```
+
+If `ImportAsync` throws, the exception is swallowed silently (unobserved). `FileSystemWatcher` callbacks should be synchronous (queue work to a channel/queue), or at minimum wrap the body in `try/catch`.
+
+### 3.5 Race Conditions in Path Mapping
+
+```csharp
+// ConcurrentDictionary + lock(_pathLock)
+_pathToGuid = new ConcurrentDictionary<...>();  // concurrent dict
+lock (_pathLock) { _pathToGuid[relativePath] = guid; }  // but manually locked
+```
+
+You're using `ConcurrentDictionary` but also taking a `Lock` for every access. These two strategies conflict — either use a plain `Dictionary<>` + lock, or use `ConcurrentDictionary` lock-free. Mixing them gives the worst of both: allocation overhead of `ConcurrentDictionary` with the contention of a lock.
+
+### 3.6 Missing Content Hash for Cache Invalidation
+
+The `TextureProcessor` hashes **settings** to build a cache key (`guid_settingsHash.dds`), but doesn't hash the **source content**. If you replace a PNG with a different image of the same name, the stale cache is served because only the settings hash changed (it didn't).
+
+### 3.7 No Version Migration Path
+
+The 128-byte `AssetMetadata` header reserves space for expansion — good! But there's no mechanism to detect "this `.gasset` was written by handler v1 and we're now at v3" and upgrade in place. Currently `HandlerVersion` is written but never read.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Recommendation: Hybrid Architecture
+
+I recommend a **Unity-inspired hybrid** — keep source files untouched, use lightweight sidecar metadata, and produce a separate cooked cache. Here's the concrete design:
+
+### 4.1 Three-Layer Architecture
+
+```
+ProjectRoot/
+├── Assets/                          ← Source files (PNG, FBX, HLSL, ...)
+│   ├── Textures/
+│   │   ├── hero_diffuse.png         ← Source of truth (never modified)
+│   │   └── hero_diffuse.png.gmeta   ← Sidecar: GUID + import settings (YAML/JSON)
+│   └── Models/
+│       ├── character.fbx
+│       └── character.fbx.gmeta
+│
+├── Library/                         ← Derived data cache (local, .gitignore'd)
+│   ├── AssetDB.sqlite               ← Fast GUID↔path + dependency index
+│   ├── Imports/                     ← Cooked assets (DDS, compiled meshes, etc.)
+│   │   ├── <guid>.imported          ← Binary cooked data (current .gasset content section)
+│   │   └── ...
+│   └── Thumbnails/
+│       └── <guid>.thumb
+│
+└── .ghostignore                     ← Patterns to exclude from asset scanning
+```
+
+### 4.2 `.gmeta` Sidecar File
+
+```yaml
+# hero_diffuse.png.gmeta
+guid: 0906f4eb-c3f0-431b-bcea-132c88ab0c3f
+handler: TextureAssetHandler
+handlerVersion: 1
+settings:
+  textureType: Default
+  textureShape: Texture2D
+  isSRGB: true
+  maxSize: 2048
+  filterMode: Anisotropic
+  wrapMode: Repeat
+  generateMipmaps: true
+  compressionLevel: Normal
+  # ... full settings tree
+dependencies: []
+labels: [environment, hero]               # optional user tags
+```
+
+**Why this is better:**
+
+| Concern | Current `.gasset` | Proposed `.gmeta` |
+|---|---|---|
+| Add a field | Binary layout breaks | YAML: missing keys → default values |
+| Merge conflict | Impossible (binary) | Text merge, trivial |
+| Inspect settings | Need editor | Open in any text editor |
+| Source file recovery | Destroyed | Untouched, always available |
+| Re-import | Need original file | `Library/` rebuild from source + `.gmeta` |
+| `git diff` | `Binary files differ` | Readable YAML diff |
+
+### 4.3 SQLite Catalog (`Library/AssetDB.sqlite`)
+
+Replace the in-memory `ConcurrentDictionary<string, Guid>` mapping with an SQLite database (you already planned this in `AssetRegistry.Backend.cs`):
+
+```sql
+-- Core asset table
+CREATE TABLE assets (
+    guid        BLOB PRIMARY KEY,   -- 16 bytes, exactly sizeof(Guid)
+    path        TEXT NOT NULL,       -- relative path to .gmeta
+    handler     TEXT NOT NULL,       -- handler type name
+    content_hash TEXT,              -- xxHash64 of source file bytes
+    settings_hash TEXT,             -- xxHash64 of import settings
+    imported_at  INTEGER,           -- unix timestamp of last successful import
+    UNIQUE(path)
+);
+
+-- Dependency edges (forward: asset → dependency)
+CREATE TABLE dependencies (
+    from_guid   BLOB NOT NULL REFERENCES assets(guid),
+    to_guid     BLOB NOT NULL REFERENCES assets(guid),
+    PRIMARY KEY (from_guid, to_guid)
+);
+
+-- Reverse index for "what depends on me?" queries
+CREATE INDEX idx_dep_reverse ON dependencies(to_guid);
+
+-- Full-text search on asset paths and labels
+CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE assets_fts USING fts5(path, labels);
+```
+
+**Startup becomes:**
+1. Open SQLite DB → instant GUID↔path from indexed table
+2. Diff `Assets/` tree vs DB → find stale/new/deleted `.gmeta` files
+3. Queue incremental re-imports only for changed assets
+
+This is **dramatically faster** than scanning every `.gasset` header on disk (your current `LoadExistingAssets`).
+
+### 4.4 Import Pipeline
+
+```
+Source File Changed
+       │
+       ▼
+  FileSystemWatcher
+       │
+       ├─── No .gmeta exists? → Generate one (new GUID, default settings)
+       │
+       ▼
+  Hash source + settings
+       │
+       ├─── Hash matches DB? → Skip (already imported)
+       │
+       ▼
+  Queue ImportJob to background channel
+       │
+       ▼
+  ImportWorker (background thread pool)
+       │
+       ├── Read source file
+       ├── Run handler pipeline (e.g. NVTT compress)
+       ├── Write Library/Imports/<guid>.imported
+       ├── Update SQLite (content_hash, settings_hash, imported_at)
+       └── Fire AssetChanged event on main thread
+```
+
+### 4.5 Handler Registration — Build Once, Cache Forever
+
+Replace the per-call assembly scan with a startup-once TypeCache approach (you already have this pattern in the engine):
+
+```csharp
+// Startup: build lookup tables once
+Dictionary<string, Type> _extensionToHandler;   // ".png" → typeof(TextureAssetHandler)
+Dictionary<Guid, Type>   _typeIdToHandler;      // TypeGuid → handler type
+
+// Populated once via TypeCache / assembly attribute scan at editor startup
+foreach (var type in TypeCache.GetTypesWithAttribute<CustomAssetHandlerAttribute>())
+{
+    var attr = type.GetCustomAttribute<CustomAssetHandlerAttribute>();
+    _typeIdToHandler[new Guid(attr.ID)] = type;
+    foreach (var ext in attr.SupportedExtensions)
+        _extensionToHandler[ext] = type;
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. What to Keep from Your Current Design
+
+Your design has several things done well:
+
+| Element | Verdict |
+|---|---|
+| `AssetMetadata` fixed-size header with offsets | ✅ Keep for the cooked `.imported` files — great for O(1) seeks |
+| `Handle<GPUTexture>` on `TextureAsset` | ✅ Clean separation of asset data vs GPU resource handle |
+| `WeakReference<Asset>` cache in registry | ✅ Elegant — auto-evicts when nothing holds the asset |
+| `IAssetHandler` / `IImportableAssetHandler` split | ✅ Good separation (some assets are import-only, e.g. shaders compiled differently) |
+| `AssetReference` with internal/external encoding | ✅ Clever — keeps sub-asset refs compact |
+| `TextureProcessor` cache with settings hash | ✅ Great idea, just needs content hash too |
+| `Result<T>` return pattern | ✅ Consistent with the rest of GhostEngine |
+
+---
+
+## 6. Summary Recommendation
+
+```
+┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│                    RECOMMENDED APPROACH                     │
+│                                                            │
+│   Source files       →  untouched, checked into git        │
+│   .gmeta sidecars    →  GUID + settings (YAML), in git    │
+│   Library/           →  derived cache, .gitignored         │
+│     AssetDB.sqlite   →  fast GUID↔path index              │
+│     Imports/*.imported → cooked binary (your AssetMetadata │
+│                          header + content, no settings)    │
+│                                                            │
+│   Binary format      →  for cooked data only, not settings │
+│   Settings format    →  YAML/JSON in .gmeta (human + VCS) │
+│   Handler discovery  →  one-time TypeCache at startup      │
+│   Watcher callbacks  →  queue to Channel<T>, no async void │
+└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+This gives you:
+- **Unreal's runtime performance** (cooked binary in Library/ → single seek+read)
+- **Unity's artist workflow** (drop files in Assets/, settings are readable text)
+- **Clean version control** (text `.gmeta` files merge cleanly)
+- **Resilient re-import** (source is never touched; Library/ is regenerable)
+- **Zero startup cost** (SQLite index instead of scanning thousands of file headers)
+
+---
+
+## 7. Open Questions for You
+
+1. **Do you want `.gmeta` in YAML, JSON, or a custom text format?** YAML is more compact and human-friendly, but adds a parser dependency. JSON is built into .NET but more verbose. A custom format is more work.
+
+2. **Should the cooked `.imported` files keep the 128-byte `AssetMetadata` header?** It's useful for validation on load, but since SQLite already knows the GUID and handler, you could simplify the binary format.
+
+3. **Do you want hot-reload of import settings?** (Changing `.gmeta` → auto re-import and refresh live asset in editor.) Your current `WeakReference<Asset>` + `RefreshAsync` already supports this.
+
+4. **How do you want to handle the `Library/` on first clone?** Options: (a) full re-import from source, (b) share a pre-built Library via LFS, (c) asset server that caches imports.

+
+## 1. System Topology
+
+The first decision: **where does each responsibility live?**
+
+```mermaid
+graph TB
+    subgraph EditorProcess["Ghost.Editor Process"]
+        FW["FileWatcher<br/>(monitors .ghost DSL files)"]

+    style SharedDisk fill:#0f3460,stroke:#533483,color:#eee
+```
+
+### Why a Separate Process?
+
+| Concern | In-process compiler | Separate process |
+|---------|-------------------|------------------|
+| DXC crash | Editor dies | Server restarts, editor lives |
+| DXC memory leak | Editor bloats over time | Kill & restart server periodically |
+| Parallelism | Threads compete with editor UI | Fully independent CPU budget |
+| Build pipeline reuse | Need separate build-time path | Same server binary, different mode |
+| Complexity | Lower (one process) | Higher (IPC needed) |
+
+> [!TIP]
+> If the separate process feels like overkill for your current stage, **start with in-process behind the `IShaderCompilationBridge` interface**, then swap the implementation to out-of-process later. The interface is the same either way.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Data Model — The Manifest
+
+This is the most important data structure in the entire system. It decouples **identity** from **content**.
+
+```mermaid
+graph LR
+    subgraph ShaderAsset["Shader Asset (on disk)"]
+        GUID["Asset GUID<br/><i>e.g. 7f3a-...-c82b</i><br/>stable forever"]
+        SRC["Source Code<br/><i>.ghost DSL file</i><br/>changes on edit"]
+    end
+
+    subgraph Manifest["ShaderManifest"]
+        E1["Entry:<br/>GUID=7f3a | Pass=0 | Variant=0x00<br/>→ ContentHash=0xABCD"]
+        E2["Entry:<br/>GUID=7f3a | Pass=0 | Variant=0x01<br/>→ ContentHash=0x1234"]
+        E3["Entry:<br/>GUID=7f3a | Pass=1 | Variant=0x00<br/>→ ContentHash=0x5678"]
+    end
+
+    subgraph Cache["ShaderCache/ (content addressed)"]
+        B1["AB/shader_cache_ABCD...bin"]
+        B2["12/shader_cache_1234...bin"]
+        B3["56/shader_cache_5678...bin"]
+    end
+
+    GUID --> E1
+    GUID --> E2
+    GUID --> E3
+    E1 --> B1
+    E2 --> B2
+    E3 --> B3
+
+    style ShaderAsset fill:#16213e,stroke:#0f3460,color:#eee
+    style Manifest fill:#1a1a2e,stroke:#e94560,color:#eee
+    style Cache fill:#0f3460,stroke:#533483,color:#eee
+```
+
+### Manifest Entry Structure
+
+```
+ManifestKey = Hash(AssetGUID + PassIndex + VariantKeywordMask)
+ManifestValue = ContentHash (= Hash of compiled bytecode)
+```
+
+- **ManifestKey** is *structurally* derived — same shader, same pass, same keywords = same key, regardless of source changes.
+- **ContentHash** is *content-derived* — changes every time the source code changes.
+- When source changes: the ManifestKey stays the same, but the ContentHash it points to gets updated.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> The `Shader` struct in runtime only needs to know the **AssetGUID**. It never stores or cares about content hashes. The `ShaderLibrary` uses the manifest to translate `(GUID, Pass, Variant) → ContentHash → File`.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Compilation Flow — What Happens When You Save a Shader
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    participant User
+    participant FileSystem
+    participant Editor as Ghost.Editor
+    participant Server as ShaderServer
+    participant Cache as ShaderCache/
+
+    User->>FileSystem: Save "water.ghost"
+    FileSystem-->>Editor: FileWatcher event
+
+    Editor->>Editor: Lookup GUID for "water.ghost"<br/>via AssetRegistry
+    Editor->>Server: CompileRequest {<br/>  guid: 7f3a-...,<br/>  filePath: "water.ghost",<br/>  defines: [...],<br/>  platform: D3D12<br/>}
+
+    Note over Server: Mark status = Compiling<br/>for this GUID

+        Server->>Server: Mark status = Error
+        Server-->>Editor: CompileResult {<br/>  status: Error,<br/>  errors: [...]<br/>}
+        Editor->>Editor: Show errors in<br/>console/inspector
+    else DSL is valid
+        Server->>Server: For each (pass, variant):<br/>DXC Compile HLSL → DXIL
+
+        alt Any DXC error
+            Server->>Server: Mark status = Error
+            Server-->>Editor: CompileResult {<br/>  status: Error,<br/>  errors: [...]<br/>}
+        else All variants compiled
+            Server->>Cache: Write bytecode blobs<br/>(content-addressed)
+            Server->>Cache: Update manifest entries:<br/>(GUID+pass+variant) → new hash
+            Server->>Server: Mark status = Ready
+            Server-->>Editor: CompileResult {<br/>  status: Ready,<br/>  variantCount: N<br/>}
+            Editor->>Editor: Show ✓ in status bar
+        end
+    end
+```
+
+### Key Design Decision: Compile All Variants Upfront?
+
+**No.** Only compile variants that are *currently referenced* by materials in the scene. The editor knows which materials reference which shader (via AssetRegistry), and which keyword combinations those materials use. Ship only what's needed.
+
+For the edit-time hot-reload, you really only need the specific variants the viewport is currently rendering. The full permutation set is a build-time concern.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Runtime PSO Resolution — The Frame-by-Frame Flow
+
+This is where most of the complexity lives. Here's what `SetActiveMaterial` does every frame:
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    A["SetActiveMaterial(material)"] --> B["Compute ManifestKey<br/>= f(shader.GUID, passIndex, variantMask)"]
+    B --> C{"PipelineLibrary<br/>has PSO for<br/>ManifestKey?"}
+
+    C -- "Yes (cache hit)" --> D["Bind existing PSO<br/>to command buffer"]
+    D --> Z["Done ✓"]
+
+    C -- "No (cache miss)" --> E{"ShaderLibrary<br/>has bytecode for<br/>ManifestKey?"}
+
+    E -- "Yes (manifest hit)" --> F["Read bytecode<br/>from cache file"]
+    F --> G["Create PSO from bytecode"]
+    G --> H["Store in PipelineLibrary"]
+    H --> D
+
+    E -- "No (manifest miss)" --> I{"Is this Editor<br/>or Runtime?"}
+
+    I -- "Runtime<br/>(shipped game)" --> J["Bind Fallback<br/>ERROR PSO ⚠️"]
+    J --> K["Log error:<br/>missing shader"]
+    K --> Z
+

+
+### The "Keep Old PSO" Strategy — How It Works Mechanically
+
+This is the part that makes the UX feel seamless. The trick:
+
+```mermaid
+graph LR
+    subgraph PipelineLibrary
+        direction TB
+        K["ManifestKey 0xAABB"]
+        K --> CURRENT["current: PSO_v2 ✓<br/>(what we render with)"]
+        K --> PENDING["pending: null<br/>(set during recompilation)"]
+    end
+
+    style CURRENT fill:#16213e,stroke:#0f3460,color:#eee
+    style PENDING fill:#1a1a2e,stroke:#e94560,color:#eee
+```
+
+When shader source changes and recompilation starts:
+
+```mermaid
+graph LR
+    subgraph PipelineLibrary_During["During Recompilation"]
+        direction TB
+        K2["ManifestKey 0xAABB"]
+        K2 --> CURRENT2["current: PSO_v2 ✓<br/>(still rendering with this)"]
+        K2 --> PENDING2["pending: COMPILING<br/>(server is working...)"]
+    end
+
+    style CURRENT2 fill:#16213e,stroke:#0f3460,color:#eee
+    style PENDING2 fill:#e94560,stroke:#1a1a2e,color:#eee
+```
+
+When recompilation finishes successfully:
+
+```mermaid
+graph LR
+    subgraph PipelineLibrary_After["After Swap"]
+        direction TB
+        K3["ManifestKey 0xAABB"]
+        K3 --> CURRENT3["current: PSO_v3 ✓<br/>(new shader, rendering now)"]
+        K3 --> PENDING3["pending: null<br/>(swap complete)"]
+    end
+
+    style CURRENT3 fill:#16213e,stroke:#0f3460,color:#eee
+    style PENDING3 fill:#1a1a2e,stroke:#533483,color:#eee
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The old `PSO_v2` is **not immediately destroyed**. It stays alive until the GPU is done with any in-flight frames referencing it (tracked by fence value). This prevents use-after-free on the GPU timeline.

+
+## 5. Hot-Reload Sequence — The Complete Picture
+
+Everything combined into one timeline:
+
+```mermaid

+    participant Server as ShaderServer
+    participant Cache as Disk Cache
+    participant Runtime as RenderGraphContext

+    Note over Runtime,GPU: Frame N+K+1: Rendering with PSO_v3 ✓
+
+    Runtime->>Runtime: Defer release PSO_v2<br/>(after GPU fence)
+```

+
+**Zero flicker. Zero blocking. Zero pink frames.**

+
+## 6. How the Manifest Key Replaces Your Current Hash Problem
+
+Here's a before/after of your `Shader` struct:
+
+### Current Design (problematic)
+```mermaid
+graph TD
+    subgraph Current["Current: Hash = f(source code)"]
+        S1["Shader struct"] --> P1["Pass[0].Key = 0xABCD<br/><i>derived from source hash</i>"]
+        P1 --> V1["ShaderVariantKey = f(0xABCD, keywords)"]
+        V1 --> PK1["PipelineKey = f(variant, rtv, dsv)"]
+        PK1 --> PSO1["PSO lookup in PipelineLibrary"]
+
+        EDIT["User edits source"] -.-> STALE["Pass[0].Key is now STALE ❌<br/>Still 0xABCD, but source changed"]
+        STALE -.-> WRONG["Looks up OLD bytecode<br/>or worse, the old PSO"]
+    end
+
+    style STALE fill:#e94560,stroke:#1a1a2e,color:#eee
+    style WRONG fill:#e94560,stroke:#1a1a2e,color:#eee
+```
+
+### Proposed Design (stable)
+```mermaid
+graph TD
+    subgraph Proposed["Proposed: Key = f(GUID, pass index)"]
+        S2["Shader struct<br/>assetGUID = 7f3a-..."] --> P2["Pass[0]: index=0<br/><i>no source hash stored</i>"]
+        P2 --> MK["ManifestKey = f(7f3a, 0, keywords)"]
+        MK --> MANIFEST["Manifest Lookup<br/>→ ContentHash = 0x9999"]
+        MANIFEST --> SL2["ShaderLibrary<br/>→ read 99/shader_cache_9999.bin"]
+        SL2 --> PSO2["Create or get PSO"]
+
+        EDIT2["User edits source"] -.-> RECOMP["Server recompiles<br/>→ new ContentHash = 0xBBBB"]
+        RECOMP -.-> MUPD["Manifest updated:<br/>same key → 0xBBBB"]
+        MUPD -.-> NEXT["Next frame: manifest read<br/>picks up 0xBBBB automatically"]
+    end
+
+    style RECOMP fill:#0f3460,stroke:#533483,color:#eee
+    style MUPD fill:#0f3460,stroke:#533483,color:#eee
+    style NEXT fill:#16213e,stroke:#0f3460,color:#eee
+```
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> **The `Shader` struct never changes.** No unload, no recreate, no generation counter bump. The manifest is the *only* mutable state, and it lives on disk, outside the runtime's object graph. The runtime just reads it.
+
+---
+
+## 7. The Two Interfaces That Make This Work
+
+Only two abstractions are needed in `Ghost.Graphics` to support the full pipeline:
+
+```mermaid
+classDiagram
+    class IShaderCompilationBridge {
+        <<interface>>
+        +TryGetBytecode(manifestKey: ulong, out bytecode: ReadOnlyMemory~byte~) bool
+        +IsCompiling(manifestKey: ulong) bool
+    }
+
+    class RuntimeStub {
+        +TryGetBytecode() → always from ShaderLibrary cache
+        +IsCompiling() → always false
+    }
+
+    class EditorImplementation {
+        -NamedPipeClient _serverConnection
+        +TryGetBytecode() → check manifest, read cache
+        +IsCompiling() → query server status
+    }
+
+    IShaderCompilationBridge <|.. RuntimeStub : "Shipped game"
+    IShaderCompilationBridge <|.. EditorImplementation : "Editor mode"
+
+    class ShaderLibrary {
+        -string _cacheDirectory
+        +GetCache(contentHash: ulong) Result~bytes~
+        +GetFromManifest(manifestKey: ulong) Result~bytes~
+    }
+
+    EditorImplementation --> ShaderLibrary : reads cache
+    RuntimeStub --> ShaderLibrary : reads cache
+```
+
+> [!TIP]
+> `RenderGraphContext` doesn't talk to the bridge directly. It talks to `ShaderLibrary`, which internally consults the bridge on cache miss. This keeps the rendering code clean — it never sees compilation status. It just gets bytecode or it doesn't.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Build Pipeline — How Shipped Games Work
+
+For completeness, here's how the same architecture handles builds:
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+    subgraph BuildTime["Build Pipeline"]
+        SCAN["Scan all materials<br/>in scenes/assets"] --> COLLECT["Collect all referenced<br/>(GUID, pass, variant) tuples"]
+        COLLECT --> COMPILE["Compile all variants<br/>via ShaderServer"]
+        COMPILE --> PACK["Package manifest +<br/>bytecode blobs into<br/>game data archive"]
+    end
+
+    subgraph ShippedGame["Runtime (shipped game)"]
+        LOAD["Load manifest +<br/>bytecode from archive"] --> LIB["ShaderLibrary<br/>(read-only, all variants pre-cached)"]
+        LIB --> MISS{"Cache miss?"}
+        MISS -- "Never<br/>(if build is correct)" --> OK["Create PSO normally"]
+        MISS -- "Somehow yes<br/>(bug or modding)" --> ERR["Error PSO<br/>+ log warning"]
+    end
+
+    BuildTime --> ShippedGame
+
+    style BuildTime fill:#1a1a2e,stroke:#0f3460,color:#eee
+    style ShippedGame fill:#16213e,stroke:#533483,color:#eee
+```
+
+The beauty: **the same `ShaderLibrary` and `PipelineLibrary` code runs in both editor and shipped game**. The only difference is whether `IShaderCompilationBridge` is the editor implementation or the runtime stub.
+
+---
+
+## Summary of Key Design Decisions
+
+| # | Decision | Rationale |
+|---|----------|-----------|
+| 1 | Stable GUID identity, not content hash | Shader struct never needs recreation on edit |
+| 2 | Content-addressed cache | Deduplication, easy invalidation, git-friendly |
+| 3 | Manifest as the bridge | Decouples identity from compiled output cleanly |
+| 4 | Keep old PSO during recompile | Zero flicker, seamless UX |
+| 5 | Separate compiler process | Crash isolation, independent resource budget |
+| 6 | Two-method interface in runtime | Minimal coupling, easy to stub for shipped game |
+| 7 | Deferred PSO release via fence | Prevents GPU use-after-free |
+| 8 | Same code path for editor + shipped | Fewer bugs, one pipeline to maintain |

-# DockLayout Implementation Plan
-
-> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
-
-**Goal:** Create a fully-featured, dynamically splittable, multi-window docking layout system using WinUI 3.
-
-**Architecture:** A C# data model (node tree) drives the recursive generation of XAML `Grid` and `NavigationTabView` controls. Drag and drop events mutate the node tree, and the UI automatically reflects the changes.
-
-**Tech Stack:** C#, WinUI 3, CommunityToolkit.Mvvm (for ObservableObject).

-# Docking Layout Implementation Plan
-
-> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
-
-**Goal:** Build a custom WinUI 3 docking layout system for GhostEngine's editor with Unity/Blender-style region highlighting and dynamic tab creation.
-
-**Architecture:** A UI-driven approach where custom controls (`DockingLayout`, `DockPanel`, `DockGroup`, `DockDocument`) manage their own state and visual tree. Drag-and-drop manipulates the visual tree directly.
-
-**Tech Stack:** C#, WinUI 3, Windows App SDK

-# DockLayout System Design
-
-## Purpose
-To create a fully-featured docking layout system for the Ghost Engine Editor using WinUI 3, supporting tab tearing, window popping, and dynamic splitting of regions in a style similar to Unity or Blender.
-
-## Architecture
-
-The DockLayout will be entirely driven by a C# data model that represents a tree of nodes. The UI (`DockLayout` control) will observe this tree and recursively generate the corresponding XAML `Grid` and `TabView` elements.
-
-### Core Data Model (The Node Tree)
-
-```csharp
-public abstract class DockNode : INotifyPropertyChanged { }
-
-// Represents a split region (Grid)
-public class DockGroupNode : DockNode 
-{
-    public Orientation Orientation { get; set; } // Horizontal or Vertical
-    public ObservableCollection<DockNode> Children { get; }
-    public ObservableCollection<GridLength> Sizes { get; } // Replaces Ratios for better WinUI 3 Grid binding
-}
-
-// Represents a leaf node containing a TabView
-public class DockPanelNode : DockNode
-{
-    // The items shown in the TabView
-    public ObservableCollection<object> Items { get; } 
-    public int SelectedIndex { get; set; }
-}
-```
-
-### Visual Components
-
-1.  **`DockLayout` (Control)**
-    *   The root control.
-    *   Takes a `DockNode` (usually a `DockGroupNode`) as its `Root`.
-    *   Listens to Drag/Drop events to render the transparent drop target overlay over the layout.
-
-2.  **Node Renderers**
-    *   A recursive template selector or code-behind builder that converts `DockGroupNode` into a `Grid` with `GridSplitter`s.
-    *   Converts `DockPanelNode` into a `NavigationTabView` (or standard `TabView` with customized drag behaviors).
-
-3.  **`DockDropTarget` (Visual Overlay)**
-    *   A simple XAML structure (e.g., a colored `Border` with opacity) that highlights a portion of a `DockPanelNode` based on mouse position during a drag operation (Left/Right/Top/Bottom 25% for splitting, Center 50% for merging).
-
-## Interactions & Data Flow
-
-### 1. Internal Dragging (Within the same window)
-*   User starts dragging a tab.
-*   The `DockLayout` tracks the mouse pointer `DragOver` events.
-*   It determines which `DockPanelNode` the mouse is currently hovering over.
-*   It calculates relative coordinates to show the Unity-style drop highlight.
-*   On **Drop**:
-    *   If dropped in the **center**: The tab object is moved from its source `DockPanelNode.Items` to the target `DockPanelNode.Items`.
-    *   If dropped on an **edge** (e.g., Right): The target `DockPanelNode` is removed from its parent `DockGroupNode`. A new `DockGroupNode` (Horizontal) is created to replace it. The target node and a *new* `DockPanelNode` (containing the dragged tab) are added as children to this new group.
-
-### 2. Window Tear-Off (Full Docking)
-*   User drags a tab completely outside the main window.
-*   `TabView.TabDroppedOutside` is triggered.
-*   The system creates a new WinUI 3 `Window`.
-*   A new `DockLayout` instance is placed in this window.
-*   The dragged tab object is removed from its original tree and added to a new `DockPanelNode` inside the new window's tree.
-*   *Note: Because WinUI 3 supports multiple windows on the same UI thread, we don't have to worry about cross-thread marshaling of UI elements, making this much simpler than UWP.*
-
-### 3. Empty Node Cleanup
-*   When a `DockPanelNode`'s `Items` collection reaches 0 (the last tab is dragged away), it is removed from the tree.
-*   If its parent `DockGroupNode` now only has 1 child remaining, that `DockGroupNode` is removed and replaced by its single child, collapsing the tree.
-
-## Implementation Phases
-1.  Define the Data Model (`DockNode` structure).
-2.  Implement the recursive UI generation (binding the tree to nested Grids and TabViews).
-3.  Implement basic tab moving (Merge) between existing `DockPanelNode`s.
-4.  Implement edge dropping (Split) and the drop target highlight overlay.
-5.  Implement empty node cleanup logic.
-6.  Implement multi-window tear-off via `TabDroppedOutside`.

-# Docking Layout Design
-
-## Overview
-A custom WinUI 3 docking layout system for GhostEngine's editor, inspired by `WinUI.Dock` but tailored to support Unity/Blender-style region highlighting and dynamic tab creation.
-
-## Architecture & Components
-
-The system uses a UI-driven approach where custom controls manage their own state and visual tree.
-
-- **`DockingLayout`**: The root control. Manages the overall state, drag-and-drop coordination, and floating windows.
-- **`DockPanel`**: A container that splits its area horizontally or vertically (using a `Grid` with `GridSplitter`s).
-- **`DockGroup`**: A container that holds multiple documents, rendered as a WinUI 3 `TabView`.
-- **`DockDocument`**: The actual content item, representing a single tab and its payload.
-- **`FloatingWindow`**: A separate WinUI `Window` that hosts a minimal `DockingLayout` internally for torn-off tabs.
-- **`DockRegionHighlight`**: A visual overlay control (e.g., a semi-transparent blue rectangle) used during drag-and-drop to show exactly where the drop will occur (Left, Right, Top, Bottom, or Center).
-
-## Drag and Drop Flow
-
-1. **Start**: Dragging a `TabViewItem` initiates a drag operation. We store a reference to the dragged `DockDocument`.
-2. **Over**: As the pointer moves over a `DockGroup` or `DockPanel`, we calculate the relative pointer position to determine the target region (Left 25%, Right 25%, Top 25%, Bottom 25%, or Center 50%). We display the `DockRegionHighlight` over that specific area.
-3. **Drop**:
-   - If dropped on an edge region (Left/Right/Top/Bottom), we split the target container: we create a new `DockPanel`, move the existing content to one side, and place the dragged document on the other.
-   - If dropped in the Center of a `DockGroup`, we add the document as a new tab to that group.
-   - If dropped outside the main window bounds, we create a new `FloatingWindow` and place the document inside it.
-
-## Dynamic Creation API
-
-The `DockingLayout` will expose methods to allow programmatically adding new panels or tabs at runtime (e.g., for a "plus icon" scenario).
-
-```csharp
-public void AddDocument(DockDocument document, DockTarget target, DockGroup? targetGroup = null);
-```
-
-## Implementation Details
-
-- The controls will be created under `src\Editor\Ghost.Editor\View\Controls\Docking\`.
-- We will use WinUI 3's built-in drag and drop APIs (`CanDrag`, `DragStarting`, `AllowDrop`, `DragOver`, `Drop`).
-- The `DockRegionHighlight` will be a `Border` or `Rectangle` added to the `DockingLayout`'s visual tree (e.g., in a `Popup` or an overlay `Grid`) and positioned absolutely based on the current drag target.
