ef1e5abe8e Add shader-driven tree beautification: wind sway, SSS, color variation, AO
- Vertex wind animation: 3-layer displacement (trunk/branch/leaf) with
  quadratic height scaling so bases stay grounded
- Shadow pass: matching vertex displacement split into foliage/non-foliage
  passes, removed UV-wiggle approach
- Leaf subsurface scattering: warm backlit glow when looking toward sun
- Per-instance color variation: hue/brightness from position hash via flat
  varying to avoid interpolation flicker
- Canopy ambient occlusion: height-based darkening of tree interiors
- Detail normal perturbation: UV-only procedural normals to break flat cards
- Bayer 4x4 ordered dither replacing sin-hash noise for alpha edges
- Foliage skips shadow map sampling and specular to prevent flicker from
  swaying geometry sampling unstable shadow/highlight values

67e63653a4 Stabilize Vulkan shadow pipeline diagnostics and compatibility path
- Fix shadow depth image layout transitions by tracking per-frame old/new layouts.
- Update receiver shadow projection to Vulkan clip-depth convention.
- Test inverted shadow compare op path (GREATER_OR_EQUAL).
- Switch shadow compare samplers to NEAREST filtering for broader Vulkan compatibility.
- Expand shadow caster coverage by disabling caster cull filtering in WMO/M2/Character shadow pipelines.
- Keep light-space matrix path on stable character-centered framing.
