Key node 1: move main-window UI presentation onto the D3D12 render loop with native UI renderer, text system, and texture host.
Key node 2: wire frame timing/FPS display, window runtime, swapchain presentation, and native screenshot capture around the new path.
Key node 3: carry editor shell/workspace/viewport/panel interaction updates needed by the new renderer and detached window flow.
Key node 4: pump async resource loads and scene bridge follow-up needed for scene content visibility in new_editor.
- add standalone pass asset factories for camera frame stages\n- let managed pipeline assets declare stage pass asset keys\n- make universal renderer data explicitly own the builtin shadow caster stage
- expose directional shadow planning settings on camera request context\n- let the managed universal asset override planner defaults\n- recompute native directional shadow requests only when settings change
- add managed RenderStateBlock authoring types and wire them through DrawingSettings
- let RenderObjectsRendererFeature author depth and stencil overrides for scene draws
- apply scene draw render state overrides inside builtin forward pipeline and document the stage plan
- let DrawingSettings carry an optional shaderPassName across managed and native scene draw APIs
- allow RenderObjectsRendererFeature to author explicit ForwardLit or Unlit scene draws
- exercise the new scene draw pass selection seam in the project render pipeline probe
- add a managed DrawingSettings seam for scene draw authoring
- let builtin forward scene draws use an override material when provided
- wire DrawObjectsPass and RenderObjectsRendererFeature through the new settings
- carry MeshRenderer renderLayer through scene extraction into VisibleRenderItem
- extend native and managed FilteringSettings with renderLayerMask support
- let RenderObjectsRendererFeature author layer-filtered object draws
- bridge renderer list descriptors into ScriptableRenderContext scene draw calls
- reuse DrawObjectsPass across Universal and project custom renderers
- add RenderObjectsRendererFeature for package-level object draw extension
Expose native camera frame planning controls to managed pipeline assets and renderer features.
Allow managed planning to override fullscreen stage heuristics while keeping CameraFramePlan as the native execution contract.
Add scripting coverage, probe assets, and archive the phase plan after build, test, and editor smoke validation.
Invoke managed pipeline disposal and asset runtime cleanup from the native bridge lifecycle. Add Universal renderer and feature cleanup hooks plus regression probes to verify runtime cache teardown semantics.
