New format: WOC (Wowee Open Collision) — binary collision mesh for
custom zone walkability. Magic WOC1 (0x31434F57).
- WoweeCollisionBuilder::fromTerrain() generates collision triangles
from terrain heightmap with slope classification (50 deg threshold)
- Per-triangle flags: walkable (0x01), water (0x02), steep (0x04)
- Respects terrain holes (skips triangles in hole regions)
- Binary save/load with bounds, tile coords, triangle data
- Auto-exported on zone save alongside WOT/WHM/WOM/WOB
- Added to content pack validation (score now 0-7)
- FORMAT_SPEC.md v1.1 updated with WOC binary layout
- 19 new test assertions: flat terrain generation (32k tris all
walkable), save/load round-trip, hole skipping
- 328 total assertions across 84 test cases
- CHANGELOG: add World Editor section (12.5k+ lines, 6 modes, 30+ tools)
and Novel Open Formats section (6/6 replacements, 309 test assertions)
- README: add World Editor section with build/run/CLI examples, format
summary, and reference to FORMAT_SPEC.md
- Fix dbc_to_csv build: add extern/ to include path for nlohmann/json
(broke when dbc_loader.cpp gained JSON DBC loading support)
ALL 6 BLIZZARD FORMATS NOW HAVE OPEN REPLACEMENTS.
WOB format: binary building file with groups, portals, and doodads.
- WOB1 magic header
- Groups: vertices (pos+normal+uv+color), indices, texture paths,
bounding box, indoor/outdoor flag
- Portals: connect groups with polygon boundaries
- Doodad placements: reference .wom models with transform
WoweeBuildingLoader: load/save/exists for .wob files.
Complete format replacement table:
- ADT → WOT/WHM (terrain heightmaps + metadata)
- WDT → zone.json (map definition)
- BLP → PNG (textures)
- DBC → JSON (data tables)
- M2 → WOM (static models)
- WMO → WOB (buildings with groups/portals/doodads)
The wowee project now has a complete suite of novel, open file
formats for creating and distributing custom WoW content without
any dependency on Blizzard proprietary file formats.
- TextureExporter: converts Blizzard BLP textures to standard PNG
for fully open redistribution of custom zones
- collectUsedTextures(): finds all texture paths referenced by terrain
- exportTexturesAsPng(): loads BLP via asset manager, writes RGBA PNG
using stb_image_write to output/MapName/textures/
- Zone export now automatically converts all used textures to PNG
- Client's PNG override system already loads these automatically
(checks for .png alongside .blp before loading)
Format replacement progress:
- DONE: ADT→WOT/WHM (terrain)
- DONE: WDT→zone.json (map definition)
- DONE: BLP→PNG (textures — auto-exported on zone save)
- TODO: DBC→JSON, M2→open model, WMO→open building
- File > Load Custom Zone scans output/ and custom_zones/ for zone.json
- Lists all discovered custom zones with name and quest indicator [Q]
- Tooltip shows description and author on hover
- Click to load the zone's WOT/WHM terrain into the editor
- Parses tile coords from WOT filename for correct positioning
- Full round-trip: export → discover → reload for iterative editing
- CustomZoneDiscovery scans directories for zone.json manifest files
- Discovers custom zones in custom_zones/ and output/ directories
- Reports: name, author, description, creature/quest availability
- Client can list all available custom expansions at startup
- Foundation for a zone selection menu in the client UI
The wowee client can now load custom zones exported from the editor
using the novel WOT/WHM format — no Blizzard files needed.
Loading priority in TerrainManager::prepareTile():
1. Check custom_zones/{mapName}/{mapName}_{x}_{y}.wot/.whm
2. Check output/{mapName}/{mapName}_{x}_{y}.wot/.whm (editor output)
3. Fall back to World\Maps\...\*.adt (standard extracted data)
Pipeline:
- WoweeTerrainLoader in src/pipeline/ (shared between client + editor)
- Loads .whm binary heightmap (WHM1 magic, 256 chunks × 145 floats)
- Loads .wot JSON metadata (textures, layers, holes, water)
- Populates the same ADTTerrain struct the mesh generator uses
- obj0 merge only runs for ADT-loaded tiles (custom zones have no obj0)
To use: export zone from editor → files appear in output/ → client
loads them automatically on next terrain request for that map name.
- EditorProject: manages multiple zones in a single project file
(wowee-project-1.0 JSON format)
- Project stores: name, author, description, version, zone list
- Each zone has: mapName, tileX/Y, biome, description
- Save/load project files (.json) with full round-trip
- Foundation for creating custom expansions with multiple maps,
quest chains spanning zones, and campaign progression
- getZoneOutputDir() resolves per-zone output paths
Novel open terrain format unique to wowee:
.wot (Wowee Open Terrain) — JSON metadata:
- Tile coordinates, chunk grid dimensions, texture list
- Per-chunk layer assignments and hole bitmasks
- Water data per chunk (type, height)
- Format version "wot-1.0"
.whm (Wowee HeightMap) — binary heightmap:
- "WHM1" magic header
- 256 chunks × (baseHeight + 145 float heights) = 148KB
- Direct float storage, no compression, fully portable
Both formats are entirely novel — no ADT, no WDT, no Blizzard
structures. The WCP content pack can bundle .wot/.whm instead of
ADT/WDT for fully open redistribution.
Import/export functions: WoweeTerrain::exportOpen() / importOpen()
- WCP format: simple binary archive with magic header, JSON manifest,
and concatenated file data. Not tied to any proprietary format.
- ContentPacker::packZone(): bundles all zone files from output dir
into a single .wcp file (terrain, objects, creatures, quests, manifest)
- ContentPacker::unpackZone(): extracts .wcp to a directory
- ContentPacker::readInfo(): reads pack metadata without extracting
- Format: "WCP1" magic + fileCount + infoJSON + file table + data
- Foundation for distributing custom zones to other wowee users
and private servers
Note: currently bundles ADT/WDT files as-is. Future: convert terrain
to open format (heightmap + JSON) for fully open redistribution.
- New Quest mode (key 6) with full quest creation panel:
- Title, description, required level
- Quest giver / turn-in NPC ID linkage
- Up to 4 objectives: Kill, Collect, Talk, Explore, Escort, Use Object
- Rewards: XP and gold
- Quest chain support via nextQuestId linking
- Quest list showing all created quests with level and objective count
- Save quests to JSON (included in Export Zone package)
- Foundation for campaign system: create quest chains across NPCs,
link objectives to placed creatures, build storylines
- Zone manifest (zone.json): generated on export with map name, map ID,
tile list, biome, creature flag, and file paths. This is what the
wowee client will read to discover and load custom zones.
- Export workflow now produces a complete loadable zone package:
zone.json + MapName.wdt + MapName_X_Y.adt + creatures.json
- ZoneManifest class with save/load (JSON format)
- Custom map IDs start at 9000+ to avoid conflicting with retail maps
- New Terrain dialog shows helper text for map name format
Standalone wowee_editor tool for creating custom WoW zones.
This is a rough initial implementation — many features work but
M2/WMO rendering still has issues (frame sync, texture layout
transitions) and needs further polish.
Terrain:
- Create new blank terrain with 10 biome types (Grassland, Forest,
Jungle, Desert, Barrens, Snow, Swamp, Rocky, Beach, Volcanic)
- Load existing ADT tiles from extracted game data
- Sculpt brushes: Raise, Lower, Smooth, Flatten, Level
- Chunk edge stitching prevents seams between tiles
- Undo/redo (100-deep stack, Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Shift+Z)
- Save to WoW ADT/WDT format
Texture Painting:
- Paint/Erase/Replace Base modes
- Full tileset texture browser (1285 textures from manifest)
- Per-zone directory filtering and search
- Alpha map editing with 4-layer limit (auto-replaces weakest)
Object Placement:
- M2 and WMO model placement with full manifest browser (11k M2s, 2k WMOs)
- M2Renderer + WMORenderer integrated (loads .skin files for WotLK)
- Ghost preview follows cursor before placing
- Ctrl+click selection, right-click context menu
- Transform gizmo (Move/Rotate/Scale with axis constraints)
- Position/rotation/scale editing in properties panel
NPC/Monster System:
- 631 creature presets scanned from manifest, categorized
(Critters, Beasts, Humanoids, Undead, Demons, etc.)
- Stats editor: level, health, mana, damage, armor, faction
- Behavior: Stationary, Patrol, Wander, Scripted
- Aggro/leash radius, respawn time, flags (hostile/vendor/etc.)
- Save creature spawns to JSON
Water:
- Place water at configurable height per chunk
- Liquid types: Water, Ocean, Magma, Slime
- Rendered as translucent colored quads
- Saved in ADT MH2O format
Infrastructure:
- Free-fly camera (WASD/QE, right-drag look, scroll speed)
- 5-mode toolbar: Sculpt | Paint | Objects | Water | NPCs
- Asset browser indexes full manifest on startup
- Editor water/marker shaders (pos+color vertex format)
- forceNoCull added to M2Renderer for editor use
- AssetManifest::getEntries() and AssetManager::getManifest() exposed
Known issues:
- M2/WMO rendering may not display on first placement (frame index
sync between update/render was misaligned — now fixed but untested
end-to-end)
- Validation layer errors on shutdown (resource cleanup ordering)
- Object placement on steep terrain can miss raycast
- No undo for texture painting or object placement yet
Break the monolithic 1360-line world_map.cpp into 16 focused modules
under src/rendering/world_map/:
Architecture:
- world_map_facade: public API composing all components (PIMPL)
- world_map_types: Vulkan-free domain types (Zone, ViewLevel, etc.)
- data_repository: DBC zone loading, ZMP pixel map, POI/overlay storage
- coordinate_projection: UV projection, zone/continent lookups
- composite_renderer: Vulkan tile pipeline + off-screen compositing
- exploration_state: server mask + local exploration tracking
- view_state_machine: COSMIC→WORLD→CONTINENT→ZONE navigation
- input_handler: keyboard/mouse input → InputAction mapping
- overlay_renderer: layer-based ImGui overlay system (OCP)
- map_resolver: cross-map navigation (Outland, Northrend, etc.)
- zone_metadata: level ranges and faction data
Overlay layers (each an IOverlayLayer):
- player_marker, party_dot, taxi_node, poi_marker, quest_poi,
corpse_marker, zone_highlight, coordinate_display, subzone_tooltip
Fixes:
- Player marker no longer bleeds across continents (only shown when
player is in a zone belonging to the displayed continent)
- Zone hover uses DBC-projected AABB rectangles (restored from
original working behavior)
- Exploration overlay rendering for zone view subzones
Tests:
- 6 new test files covering coordinate projection, exploration state,
map resolver, view state machine, zone metadata, and integration

TransportManager decomposition:
- Extract TransportClockSync: server clock offset, yaw flip detection,
velocity bootstrap, client/server mode switching
- Extract TransportAnimator: spline evaluation, Z clamping, orientation
from server yaw or spline tangent
- Slim TransportManager to thin orchestrator delegating to ClockSync and
Animator; add pushTransform() helper to deduplicate WMO/M2 renderer calls
- Remove legacy orientationFromSplineTangent (now uses
CatmullRomSpline::orientationFromTangent)
Entity path following upgrade:
- Replace pathPoints_/pathSegDists_ linear lerp with
std::optional<CatmullRomSpline> activeSpline_
- startMoveAlongPath builds SplineKeys with distance-proportional timing
- updateMovement evaluates CatmullRomSpline for smooth Catmull-Rom
interpolation matching server-side creature movement
- Reset activeSpline_ on setPosition/startMoveTo to prevent stale state
Tests:
- Add test_transport_components (9 cases): ClockSync client/server/reverse
modes, yaw flip detection, Animator position eval, server yaw, Z clamping
- Link spline.cpp into test_entity for CatmullRomSpline dependency

Extract CatmullRomSpline (include/math/spline.hpp, src/math/spline.cpp) as a
standalone, immutable, thread-safe spline module with O(log n) binary segment
search and fused position+tangent evaluation — replacing the duplicated O(n)
evalTimedCatmullRom/orientationFromTangent pair in TransportManager.
Consolidate 7 copies of spline packet parsing into shared functions in
game/spline_packet.{hpp,cpp}: parseMonsterMoveSplineBody (WotLK/TBC),
parseMonsterMoveSplineBodyVanilla, parseClassicMoveUpdateSpline,
parseWotlkMoveUpdateSpline, and decodePackedDelta. Named SplineFlag constants
replace magic hex literals throughout.
Extract TransportPathRepository (game/transport_path_repository.{hpp,cpp}) from
TransportManager — owns path data, DBC loading, and path inference. Paths stored
as PathEntry wrapping CatmullRomSpline + metadata (zOnly, fromDBC, worldCoords).
TransportManager reduced from ~1200 to ~500 lines, focused on transport lifecycle
and server sync.

Implement GPU-driven Hierarchical-Z occlusion culling for M2 doodads
using a depth pyramid built from the previous frame's depth buffer.
The cull shader projects bounding spheres via prevViewProj (temporal
reprojection) and samples the HiZ pyramid to reject hidden objects
before the main render pass.
Key implementation details:
- Separate early compute submission (beginSingleTimeCommands + fence
wait) eliminates 2-frame visibility staleness
- Conservative safeguards prevent false culls: screen-edge guard,
full VP row-vector AABB projection (Cauchy-Schwarz), 50% sphere
inflation, depth bias, mip+1, min screen size threshold, camera
motion dampening (auto-disable on fast rotations), and per-instance
previouslyVisible flag tracking
- Graceful fallback to frustum-only culling if HiZ init fails
Fix dark WMO interiors by gating shadow map sampling on isInterior==0
in the WMO fragment shader. Interior groups (flag 0x2000) now rely
solely on pre-baked MOCV vertex-color lighting + MOHD ambient color.
Disable interiorDarken globally (was incorrectly darkening outdoor M2s
when camera was inside a WMO). Use isInsideInteriorWMO() instead of
isInsideWMO() for correct indoor detection.
New files:
- hiz_system.hpp/cpp: pyramid image management, compute pipeline,
descriptors, mip-chain build dispatch, resize handling
- hiz_build.comp.glsl: MAX-depth 2x2 reduction compute shader
- m2_cull_hiz.comp.glsl: frustum + HiZ occlusion cull compute shader
- test_indoor_shadows.cpp: 14 unit tests for shadow/interior contracts
Modified:
- CullUniformsGPU expanded 128->272 bytes (HiZ params, viewProj,
prevViewProj)
- Depth buffer images gain VK_IMAGE_USAGE_SAMPLED_BIT for HiZ reads
- wmo.frag.glsl: interior branch before unlit, shadow skip for 0x2000
- Render graph: hiz_build + compute_cull disabled (run in early compute)
- .gitignore: ignore compiled .spv binaries
- MEGA_BONE_MAX_INSTANCES: 2048 -> 4096

M2 GPU instancing
- M2InstanceGPU SSBO (96 B/entry, double-buffered, 16384 max)
- Group opaque instances by (modelId, LOD); single vkCmdDrawIndexed per group
- boneBase field indexes into mega bone SSBO via gl_InstanceIndex
Indirect terrain drawing
- 24 MB mega index buffer (6M uint32) + 64 MB mega vertex buffer
- CPU builds VkDrawIndexedIndirectCommand per visible chunk
- Single VB/IB bind per frame; shadow pass reuses mega buffers
- Replaced vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect with direct vkCmdDrawIndexed to fix
host-mapped buffer race condition that caused terrain flickering
GPU frustum culling (compute shader)
- m2_cull.comp.glsl: 64-thread workgroups, sphere-vs-6-planes + distance cull
- CullInstanceGPU SSBO input, uint visibility[] output, double-buffered
- dispatchCullCompute() runs before main pass via render graph node
Consolidated bone matrix SSBOs
- 16 MB double-buffered mega bone SSBO (2048 instances × 128 bones)
- Eliminated per-instance descriptor sets; one megaBoneSet_ per frame
- prepareRender() packs bone matrices consecutively into current frame slot
Render graph / frame graph
- RenderGraph: RGResource handles, RGPass nodes, Kahn topological sort
- Automatic VkImageMemoryBarrier/VkBufferMemoryBarrier between passes
- Passes: minimap_composite, worldmap_composite, preview_composite,
shadow_pass, reflection_pass, compute_cull
- beginFrame() uses buildFrameGraph() + renderGraph_->execute(cmd)
Pipeline derivatives
- PipelineBuilder::setFlags/setBasePipeline for VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_DERIVATIVE_BIT
- M2 opaque = base; alphaTest/alpha/additive are derivatives
- Applied to terrain (wireframe) and WMO (alpha-test) renderers
Rendering bug fixes:
- fix(shadow): compute lightSpaceMatrix before updatePerFrameUBO to eliminate
one-frame lag that caused shadow trails and flicker on moving objects
- fix(shadow): scale depth bias with shadowDistance_ instead of hardcoded 0.8f
to prevent acne at close range and gaps at far range
- fix(visibility): WMO group distance threshold 500u → 1200u to match terrain
view distance; buildings were disappearing on the horizon
- fix(precision): camera near plane 0.05 → 0.5 (ratio 600K:1 → 60K:1),
eliminating Z-fighting and improving frustum plane extraction stability
- fix(streaming): terrain load radius 4 → 6 tiles (~2133u → ~3200u) to exceed
M2 render distance (2800u) and eliminate pop-in when camera turns;
unload radius 7 → 9; spawn radius 3 → 4
- fix(visibility): ground-detail M2 distance multiplier 0.75 → 0.9 to reduce
early pop of grass and debris
Add signal-safe render-phase markers throughout GameScreen::render() and
Application::render() so the crash handler can report which render call was
active when a SIGSEGV occurs. The AMD RADV crash backtrace only shows 2
frames due to missing frame pointers, making it impossible to identify the
actual crash site.
Changes:
- Add volatile g_crashRenderPhase marker updated before each major render call
- Upgrade Linux signal handler to sigaction with SA_SIGINFO for faulting address
- Set ImGui CheckVkResultFn to log silent Vulkan errors in ImGui backend
- Enable -fno-omit-frame-pointer in all build configs (not just Debug/RelWithDebInfo)
- moved chat panel logic out of `game_screen` into `chat_panel`
- added chat_panel.hpp and chat_panel.cpp
- updated game_screen.hpp and game_screen.cpp to integrate new `ChatPanel` component
- updated build config in CMakeLists.txt to include new UI module sources
Remove all OpenGL/GLEW code and dependencies. The Vulkan renderer has
been the sole active backend for months; these files were dead code.
Deleted (8 files, 641 lines):
- rendering/mesh.cpp+hpp: OpenGL VAO/VBO/EBO wrapper (never instantiated)
- rendering/shader.cpp+hpp: OpenGL GLSL compiler (replaced by VkShaderModule)
- rendering/scene.cpp+hpp: Scene graph holding Mesh objects (created but
never populated — all rendering uses Vulkan sub-renderers directly)
- rendering/video_player.cpp+hpp: FFmpeg+GL texture uploader (never
included by any other file — login video feature can be re-implemented
with VkTexture when needed)
Cleaned up:
- renderer.hpp: remove Scene forward-decl, getScene() accessor, scene member
- renderer.cpp: remove scene.hpp/shader.hpp includes, Scene create/destroy
- application.cpp: remove stale "GL/glew.h removed" comment
- CMakeLists.txt: remove find_package(OpenGL/GLEW), source/header entries,
and target_link_libraries for OpenGL::GL and GLEW::GLEW
- PKGBUILD: remove glew dependency
- BUILD_INSTRUCTIONS.md: remove glew from all platform install commands
- Dockerfile: fix LLVM apt repo codename (jammy → noble) for ubuntu:24.04
- build-linux.sh: add missing mkdir -p /wowee-build-src before tar extraction
- Dockerfile: remove dead ENV OSXCROSS_VERSION=1.5 and its unset
- CMakeLists: scope -undefined dynamic_lookup to wowee target only
- GameServices: remove redundant game:: qualifier inside namespace game
- application.cpp: zero out gameServices_ after gameHandler reset in shutdown
Moves entity lifecycle, name/creature/game-object caches, transport GUID
tracking, and the entire update-object pipeline out of GameHandler into a
new EntityController class (friend-class pattern, same as CombatHandler
et al.).
What moved:
- applyUpdateObjectBlock() — 1,520-line core of all entity creation,
field updates, and movement application
- processOutOfRangeObjects() / finalizeUpdateObjectBatch()
- handleUpdateObject() / handleCompressedUpdateObject() / handleDestroyObject()
- handleNameQueryResponse() / handleCreatureQueryResponse()
- handleGameObjectQueryResponse() / handleGameObjectPageText()
- handlePageTextQueryResponse()
- enqueueUpdateObjectWork() / processPendingUpdateObjectWork()
- playerNameCache, playerClassRaceCache_, pendingNameQueries
- creatureInfoCache, pendingCreatureQueries
- gameObjectInfoCache_, pendingGameObjectQueries_
- transportGuids_, serverUpdatedTransportGuids_
- EntityManager (accessed by other handlers via getEntityManager())
8 opcodes re-registered by EntityController::registerOpcodes():
SMSG_UPDATE_OBJECT, SMSG_COMPRESSED_UPDATE_OBJECT, SMSG_DESTROY_OBJECT,
SMSG_NAME_QUERY_RESPONSE, SMSG_CREATURE_QUERY_RESPONSE,
SMSG_GAMEOBJECT_QUERY_RESPONSE, SMSG_GAMEOBJECT_PAGETEXT,
SMSG_PAGE_TEXT_QUERY_RESPONSE
Other handler files (combat, movement, social, spell, inventory, quest,
chat) updated to access EntityManager via getEntityManager() and the
name cache via getPlayerNameCache() — no logic changes.
Also included:
- .clang-tidy: add modernize-use-nodiscard,
modernize-use-designated-initializers; set -std=c++20 in ExtraArgs
- test.sh: prepend clang's own resource include dir before GCC's to
silence xmmintrin.h / ia32intrin.h conflicts during clang-tidy runs

Extract domain-specific logic from the monolithic GameHandler into
dedicated handler classes, each owning its own opcode registration,
state, and packet parsing:
- CombatHandler: combat, XP, kill, PvP, loot roll (~26 methods)
- SpellHandler: spells, auras, pet stable, talent (~3+ methods)
- SocialHandler: friends, guild, groups, BG, RAF, PvP AFK (~14+ methods)
- ChatHandler: chat messages, channels, GM tickets, server messages,
defense/area-trigger messages (~7+ methods)
- InventoryHandler: items, trade, loot, mail, vendor, equipment sets,
read item (~3+ methods)
- QuestHandler: gossip, quests, completed quest response (~5+ methods)
- MovementHandler: movement, follow, transport (~2 methods)
- WardenHandler: Warden anti-cheat module
Each handler registers its own dispatch table entries via
registerOpcodes(DispatchTable&), called from
GameHandler::registerOpcodeHandlers(). GameHandler retains core
orchestration: auth/session handshake, update-object parsing,
opcode routing, and cross-handler coordination.
game_handler.cpp reduced from ~10,188 to ~9,432 lines.
Also add a POST_BUILD CMake step to symlink Data/ next to the
executable so expansion profiles and opcode tables are found at
runtime when running from build/bin/.
Foundation for WoW-compatible addon support:
- Vendor Lua 5.1.5 source as a static library (extern/lua-5.1.5)
- TocParser: parses .toc files (## directives + file lists)
- LuaEngine: Lua 5.1 VM with sandboxed stdlib (no io/os/debug),
WoW-compatible print() that outputs to chat, GetTime() stub
- AddonManager: scans Data/interface/AddOns/ for .toc files,
loads .lua files on world entry, skips LoadOnDemand addons
- /run <code> slash command for inline Lua execution
- HelloWorld test addon that prints to chat on load
Integration: AddonManager initialized after asset manager, addons
loaded once on first world entry, reset on logout. XML frame
parsing is deferred to a future step.
Implement KeybindingManager singleton class to support:
- Storing and loading keybinding configuration from ini files
- Querying whether an action's keybinding was pressed
- Runtime rebinding of actions to different keys
- Default keybinding set: C=Character, I=Inventory, S=Spellbook, K=Talents,
L=Quests, M=Minimap, Esc=Settings, Enter=Chat
This is the foundation for user-customizable keybindings. Integration with
UI controls and replacement of hard-coded ImGui::IsKeyPressed calls will
follow in subsequent improvements.
texture.hpp / texture.cpp implemented an unfinished OpenGL texture loader
(loadFromFile was a TODO stub) that had no callers — the project's texture
loading is entirely handled by VkTexture (vk_texture.hpp/cpp) after the
Vulkan migration. Remove both files and their CMakeLists entries.
macOS: 'dxc' is not a valid Homebrew formula — the failing brew install line
was aborting early, preventing SDL2 and other packages from being installed.
Removed 'dxc' from the brew install command.
Linux arm64 / Windows: the add_dependencies(wowee wowee_fsr3_official_runtime_copy)
forced the FSR3 Kits build (including VK permutation generation) into every
normal cmake --build invocation. This broke arm64 (no DXC binary available) and
Windows MSYS2 (bash script ran in wrong shell context, exit 127). The FSR3 Path A
runtime is now a strictly opt-in artifact — build it explicitly with:
cmake --build build --target wowee_fsr3_official_runtime_copy
The main wowee binary still loads it dynamically at runtime when present and
falls back gracefully when it is not.
