Workflow JSON params can now reference environment variables (e.g.
${env:QUAKE3_PAK0}) which are expanded at JSON load time. A new Python
detector reads the Windows registry and parses libraryfolders.vdf to
locate Steam libraries, then resolves known-game files into env vars
that dev_commands.py exports before launching the engine. Lets users
with legitimate Steam-owned game data run packages like quake3 without
hardcoded paths.
Also fixes os.execv on Windows (Invalid argument with spaced paths) by
falling back to subprocess.call.

When Conan's build output layout changes (e.g. build/generators/ vs
build/Release/generators/), CMakeUserPresets.json accumulates includes
that define the same preset names, causing CMake to fail with
"Duplicate preset". The fix detects preset name collisions across
included files and keeps only the newest, in addition to pruning
missing files.

Add explicit search paths for python.org installer (%APPDATA%\Python),
Chocolatey, macOS system Python (~/Library/Python), and ~/.local/bin.
Document coverage matrix for Windows (Store/python.org/Chocolatey),
macOS (Homebrew/system/pyenv), and Linux (apt/dnf/pip --user).

Searches PATH, interpreter/user Scripts dirs, site-packages sibling
dirs, and falls back to module invocation. Covers system Python,
Homebrew, Windows Store Python, pyenv, conda, pip --user, and venvs.

Windows Store Python installs packages without adding Scripts to PATH,
causing FileNotFoundError when invoking conan directly.

Build system:
- Fix generate_cmake.py backslash paths and UTF-8 encoding for Windows
- Auto C++20 in conan deps, auto-detect VS install location
- dev_commands.py: add generate, all --run commands, platform-aware bootstrap
- Add assimp to cmake_config.json link libraries
- Fix CMakeUserPresets.json duplicate preset issue
Cross-platform C++:
- UUID generation: Windows rpc.h/UuidCreate with #ifdef _WIN32
- HOME env var fallback to USERPROFILE on Windows
- Shader format detection for D3D12/DXIL Vulkan driver
Shader pipeline (12 new SPIRV shaders):
- Port all Metal shaders to Vulkan GLSL (PBR, shadows, post-FX, compute)
- SDL3 GPU descriptor set convention (set 0-3)
- Combined image samplers for Vulkan compatibility
- Bootstrap-driven shader path rewriting (msl↔spirv automatic per platform)
Rendering features:
- spotlight.setup: generic atomic workflow step, attach to camera or static
- PBR spotlight with cone attenuation, distance falloff, wrap lighting
- Volumetric light beam (16-step ray march through dust/fog in spotlight cone)
- geometry.create_flashlight: procedural flashlight mesh (cylinder + head + lens)
- draw.viewmodel: FPS weapon-style rendering locked to camera view
- model.load: Assimp-based 3D model loader (OBJ/GLB/FBX/BLEND)
- Indoor ambient lighting fix, SSAO bypass for Vulkan clip-space
Performance:
- Frame loop logging suppressed via _in_frame_loop context flag
Assets:
- Real PBR textures from ambientCG (CC0): wood floor, concrete ceiling
- Seed demo: dark room + flashlight beam + Quake-style viewmodel

Import SDL3CPlusPlus C++ game engine with:
- SDL3 + bgfx rendering backend
- Vulkan/Metal/DirectX shader support
- MaterialX material system
- Scene framework with ECS architecture
- Comprehensive test suite (TDD approach)
- Conan package management
- CMake build system
This provides the native C++ foundation for the Universal Platform's
Game and 3D capability modules.
