## Current Snapshot (Codebase Audit)
- Config intake: version gating + schema validation + layered merges (`extends`, `@delete`) with JSON Pointer diagnostics.
- Config compiler builds Scene/Resource/RenderGraph IR, resolves asset/material/render-pass refs, and schedules a render pass DAG; IR is not yet driving runtime rendering.
- Runtime rendering is still Lua-driven, with MaterialX shader generation, pipeline validation, sampler caps, and texture/GUI cache budget enforcement.
- Diagnostics include ProbeService reports plus CrashRecoveryService heartbeats/GPU hang detection; runtime probe hooks (draw/present/frame) are still missing.
## Launch Packages (Cheesy Edition)
### Starter Plan: "Bootstrap Hosting"
- [x] Config version gating (`schema_version` / `configVersion` checks)
- [x] JSON Schema validation (external schema + validator)
- [~] JSON-path diagnostics (schema validator pointers + path strings; not full JSON Pointer coverage)
- [~] JSON-path diagnostics (schema validator pointers + compiler-generated paths; not full JSON Pointer coverage)
- [~] Layered config merges (supports `extends` + `@delete`; no profile/local/CLI yet)
- [x] Trace logging around config load, validation, and merge steps
- [~] Migration stubs for future versions (notes + stubbed hook)
### Pro Plan: "Graph Builder"
- [~] Typed IRs: `SceneIR`, `ResourceIR`, `RenderGraphIR`
- [~] Symbol tables + reference resolution with clear diagnostics
- [~] Typed IRs: `SceneIR`, `ResourceIR`, `RenderGraphIR` (compiled; not yet consumed by runtime)
- [~] Symbol tables + reference resolution with clear diagnostics (assets/materials/render passes only)

- [x] "Use before produce" validation for render pass inputs
- [~] Explicit pass scheduling and backend submission planning (schedule only)
- [~] Explicit pass scheduling and backend submission planning (schedule only; no backend plan)
### Ultra Plan: "Probe Fortress"
- [~] Probe hooks: `OnLoadScene`, `OnCreatePipeline`, `OnDraw`, `OnPresent`, `OnFrameEnd`
- [~] Probe hooks (config/render graph/graphics reports wired; missing `OnLoadScene`, `OnDraw`, `OnPresent`, `OnFrameEnd`)
- [x] Pipeline compatibility checks (mesh layout vs shader inputs) via shader pipeline validator
- [x] Sampler limits enforced from bgfx caps
- [ ] Shader uniform compatibility enforcement
- [~] Resource budget enforcement (texture memory + max texture dim + GUI caches)
- [~] Resource budget enforcement (texture memory + max texture dim + GUI caches; no buffer budgets)

## Near-Term Focus
- Wire config compiler IR into resource loading + scene setup (reduce Lua-only paths).
- Execute render graph schedule in the renderer (attachments, lifetimes, view ordering).
- Add runtime probe hooks and map probe severity to crash recovery policies.
- Enforce shader uniform compatibility using reflection + material metadata.
- Add tests for schema/merge rules, render graph validation, and budget enforcement.
## Config-First Program Plan (Verbose)
### Decisions Locked In
- Config-first is the default runtime path. Lua becomes optional or secondary.
- Users can persist a default runtime config (via `--set-default-json`).
- Schema extensions are allowed.
- Shader systems should be pluggable (MaterialX now, others later).
### Scope And Assumptions
- Scope: move config-first IR into runtime execution, add render graph execution, add runtime probes, and close shader uniform compatibility.
- Assume Lua scene/scripts remain as an explicit opt-in fallback while the IR path is built.
- Assume schema changes remain within `runtime_config_v2.schema.json` (no v3 bump yet).
### Phase 0: Baseline And Config-First Default (1-2 days)
- Ensure JSON config always compiles into IR before Lua services run.
- Confirm default config precedence: `--json-file-in``--set-default-json` path → stored default config → seed config.
- Introduce a runtime switch to enable Lua-only scene loading; default is config-first.
- Deliverable: app boot always compiles config and prefers IR-derived data.
- Acceptance: running with only a JSON config triggers IR compilation, and Lua scene load only happens if explicitly enabled.
### Phase 1: Schema Extensions For Config-First Runtime (2-4 days)
- Extend schema to fully cover `assets`, `materials`, and `render.passes` (inputs/outputs, pass types).
- Add schema for render pass clear state, attachment format, and view metadata.
- Add a `shader_systems` section and allow per-shader system selection.
- Deliverable: schema guarantees all data needed for IR compilation and render execution.
- Acceptance: invalid configs fail with JSON Pointer diagnostics from schema validation.
### Phase 2: Pluggable Shader System Architecture (3-6 days)
- Define an `IShaderSystem` interface with explicit methods: `GetId()`, `BuildShader`, `GetReflection`, `GetDefaultTextures`.
- Add a shader system registry for discovery and selection.
- Implement `MaterialXShaderSystem` using existing MaterialX generator logic.
- Update shader loading to use the selected shader system to build `ShaderPaths`.
- Deliverable: shader generation/compilation becomes a plugin choice, not hardcoded.
- Acceptance: MaterialX stays working, and a second stub system (e.g., `glsl`) can be registered without touching `IGraphicsService`.
### Phase 3: Resource IR → Runtime Resource Registry (3-6 days)
- Create a resource registry service to own `TextureIR`, `MeshIR`, `ShaderIR`, `MaterialIR` lifecycles.
- Integrate registry with `IShaderSystemRegistry` for shader assets.
- Add probe reports for missing resources and unresolved references (JSON paths included).
- Deliverable: resources can be created without Lua script involvement.
- Acceptance: a config with `assets` + `materials` loads textures/shaders and provides handles to rendering.
### Phase 4: Scene IR → Runtime Scene Setup (4-7 days)
- Expand `SceneIR` to include minimal component payloads (Transform + Renderable).
- Add schema for component payloads in scene entities.
- Implement scene builder service to map IR into `IEcsService`.
- Keep Lua scene path as an explicit fallback.
- Deliverable: scene is constructed from JSON without Lua.
- Acceptance: a single-mesh scene renders from config only.
### Phase 5: Render Graph Execution (5-9 days)
- Extend `RenderPassIR` to include clear flags, view IDs, and attachment definitions.
- Implement a render-graph executor that consumes `RenderGraphBuildResult::passOrder`.
- Map pass outputs to framebuffers and attachments, with swapchain as a valid output.
- Track attachment lifetimes and simple transient usage in the executor.
- Deliverable: render graph scheduling is executed, not just computed.
- Acceptance: a two-pass graph (offscreen + swapchain) renders correctly.
### Phase 6: Runtime Probe Hooks And Recovery Policy (3-6 days)
- Add runtime probe hooks (`OnDraw`, `OnPresent`, `OnFrameEnd`) in render coordinator + graphics backend.
- Map probe severity to crash recovery policies.
- Add probes for invalid handles and pass output misuse.
- Deliverable: runtime diagnostics that are structured and actionable.
- Acceptance: injected faults generate probe reports and prevent crashes.
### Phase 7: Shader Uniform Compatibility Enforcement (3-5 days)
- Choose uniform reflection sources per shader system (MaterialX vs bgfx shader binary).
- Validate material uniform mappings at config compile time.
- Emit JSON-path diagnostics for mismatches.
- Deliverable: uniform mismatches fail fast before rendering.
- Acceptance: invalid uniform mappings fail validation with clear JSON-path errors.
### Phase 8: Tests And Docs (2-5 days, overlaps phases)
- Add unit tests for config merge rules (`extends`, `@delete`).
- Add render graph validation tests for cycles and invalid outputs.
- Add shader system registry tests for multi-system support.
- Update docs with a "Config First Pipeline" guide and known limitations.
- Deliverable: regression protection for the new pipeline.
- Acceptance: new tests pass alongside existing integration tests.
### Default Config Behavior (Config-First)
- Default config resolution remains `--json-file-in``--set-default-json` path → stored default config → seed config.
- Config-first is the default runtime path after the config is loaded.
- Lua scene/scripts execute only when explicitly enabled in config.
### Shader System Schema Options (For Future Selection)
Option A: global default + per-shader override
```json
"shader_systems": {
"active": "materialx",
"systems": {
"materialx": { "enabled": true, "libraryPath": "...", "materialName": "..." },
"glsl": { "enabled": false }
}
},
"assets": {
"shaders": {
"pbr": { "vs": "shaders/pbr.vs", "fs": "shaders/pbr.fs", "system": "glsl" },
"mx": { "system": "materialx", "material": "MyMaterial" }
}
}
```
Option B: per-shader only
```json
"assets": {
"shaders": {
"mx": { "system": "materialx", "material": "MyMaterial" },
"glsl_pbr": { "system": "glsl", "vs": "...", "fs": "..." }
}
}
```
