Implement WoW-accurate DBC-driven sky system with lore-faithful celestial bodies Add SkySystem coordinator that follows WoW's actual architecture where skyboxes are authoritative and procedural elements serve as fallbacks. Integrate lighting system across all renderers (terrain, WMO, M2, character) with unified parameters. Sky System: - SkySystem coordinator manages skybox, celestial bodies, stars, clouds, lens flare - Skybox is authoritative (baked stars from M2 models, procedural fallback only) - skyboxHasStars flag gates procedural star rendering (prevents double-star bug) Celestial Bodies (Lore-Accurate): - Two moons: White Lady (30-day cycle, pale white) + Blue Child (27-day cycle, pale blue) - Deterministic moon phases from server gameTime (not deltaTime toys) - Sun positioning driven by LightingManager directionalDir (DBC-sourced) - Camera-locked sky dome (translation ignored, rotation applied) Lighting Integration: - Apply LightingManager params to WMO, M2, character renderers - Unified lighting: directional light, diffuse color, ambient color, fog - Star occlusion by cloud density (70% weight) and fog density (30% weight) Documentation: - Add comprehensive SKY_SYSTEM.md technical guide - Update MEMORY.md with sky system architecture and anti-patterns - Update README.md with WoW-accurate descriptions Critical design decisions: - NO latitude-based star rotation (Azeroth not modeled as spherical planet) - NO always-on procedural stars (skybox authority prevents zone identity loss) - NO universal dual-moon setup (map-specific celestial configurations)

Sky System: - SkySystem coordinator manages skybox, celestial bodies, stars, clouds, lens flare - Skybox is authoritative (baked stars from M2 models, procedural fallback only) - skyboxHasStars flag gates procedural star rendering (prevents double-star bug) Celestial Bodies (Lore-Accurate): - Two moons: White Lady (30-day cycle, pale white) + Blue Child (27-day cycle, pale blue) - Deterministic moon phases from server gameTime (not deltaTime toys) - Sun positioning driven by LightingManager directionalDir (DBC-sourced) - Camera-locked sky dome (translation ignored, rotation applied) Lighting Integration: - Apply LightingManager params to WMO, M2, character renderers - Unified lighting: directional light, diffuse color, ambient color, fog - Star occlusion by cloud density (70% weight) and fog density (30% weight) Documentation: - Add comprehensive SKY_SYSTEM.md technical guide - Update MEMORY.md with sky system architecture and anti-patterns - Update README.md with WoW-accurate descriptions Critical design decisions: - NO latitude-based star rotation (Azeroth not modeled as spherical planet) - NO always-on procedural stars (skybox authority prevents zone identity loss) - NO universal dual-moon setup (map-specific celestial configurations)
