Fixes the neon-green tint in Ocarina of Time (0400486024DEC000) on AMD. The tint grew over time as the probe captures picked it up and GI fed it back into the scene.

The clustered lighting (330 world fragment shaders) loops over each pixel's lights and samples each light's shadow map with depth comparison, reading the handle from a table of light entries. No single handle serves a draw, so the earlier search bound unrelated words as handles: an ASTC color texture, an R32F or A2B10G10R10_UINT render target, or null. A depth-compare sample of a color or integer image is undefined, and on AMD it came out green.

  • shader: don't track bindless handles through texture results or float math. A reused register made the handle a Phi of the handle and a sample result, and the search followed it into a float (0.001) in a constant buffer.
  • shader, video_core: index a descriptor array with a handle table's per-invocation index. Such handles now get a descriptor array of the first 64 table entries (LICHII_BINDLESS_TABLE, 1 to 1024; 0 turns it off), indexed per invocation (NonUniform where supported).
  • vulkan: bind the null image for depth-compare samples of uncomparable images. A handle read from memory, or an integer or block-compressed image, gets the null image for a depth-compare sample instead of an undefined result.

Overlap: this touches the same handle-program code as #245 (host-aligned storage base). Whichever lands second needs a small merge.

Tested: Ocarina of Time on an RX 7900 XTX (AMD proprietary 2.0.416, Windows 11): the green tint is gone. That was a local build that also carried other changes. On this branch, the handle unit tests in src/tests/video_core/texture_handles.cpp pass.

… math

The guest compiler reuses registers: in Ocarina of Time's clustered
lighting shaders the register holding a light's shadow map handle holds
a shadow sample's result on another path, so the handle reaching a later
sample is a Phi of the handle and that result. Track then searched
through the sample's coordinates and returned the first constant buffer
word behind them: a float (0.001 in cbuf6+0x430), bound as a texture
handle (a TIC index far past the pool, a null view).

A handle is never made by a texture instruction or by floating-point
math, so the search no longer looks into either, and leaves such a
handle to the handle program builder.

…r-invocation index

Ocarina of Time's clustered lighting (330 world fragment shaders) loops
over the lights of each pixel's cluster: it reads a light index from the
pixel's own list, then that light's shadow map handle from a table of
96-byte light entries (the first word of a 16-byte load), and samples
the shadow map with depth comparison. No single handle serves a draw,
so the handle program builder gave up (on CompositeExtractU32x4, and on
the per-pixel list address behind it) and the earlier search through
loads bound the constant buffer word holding the table's address
(cbuf0+0x520) as the handle: an ASTC color texture, an R32F or
A2B10G10R10_UINT render target, or null, depending on the address. A
depth-compare sample of a color or integer image is undefined. On AMD it
is the likely source of the neon green that the probe captures picked up
and the GI fed back into the scene, the tint growing over time.

Such a handle now gets a descriptor array, as a handle read from a
constant buffer at a dynamic offset does:

- The builder handles CompositeExtractU32x3/x4 like the x2 case.
- It may take one word as the array index: a word read at an address it
  can't compute (each invocation's own), scaled to a byte offset, that
  gives the address of the read holding the handle.
- The program computes the handle of each element through
  HandleOp::Index, so the draw binds the first 64 table entries
  (LICHII_BINDLESS_TABLE, 1 to 1024; 0 turns these arrays off).
- The shader indexes the array with the index word it read (NonUniform
  where supported), clamped to the array, provided the word is defined
  wherever the texture instruction runs. A dominator tree of the program
  decides that; otherwise every invocation takes the first element.
- The texture cap divides the descriptor budget by arrays rather than by
  the instructions sharing them.
- Programs drop trailing Tees, so instructions reading the same handle
  share a descriptor. Every light's samples in a shader now share one
  64-element array.

Per draw, the table is read in one go: each constant buffer word and
storage buffer address once, with one sampler lookup per run of equal
samplers. FillImageViews also skips an element repeating the view before
it. The first 64 changes in what a table holds are logged ("Handle
table: ... distinct: ticN@element"), as are any handles still left to
the earlier search, and the startup log reports LICHII_BINDLESS_TABLE.

An offline sweep of the game's 1768 fragment and 493 compute shaders
finds no handle left to the earlier search (4510 before). The 5670 shadow
samples now read the table, the other shaders' descriptors are
unchanged, and all the SPIR-V validates.

… images

Sampling with depth comparison requires an image view format with
VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_SAMPLED_IMAGE_DEPTH_COMPARISON_BIT. Without it the
result is undefined and differs between vendors, and a garbage value
(even a NaN) can survive a shader multiplying the shadow factor by zero.
A depth-compare descriptor now gets the null image instead in two cases:

- The handle was read from memory (a handle program, such as an unused
  entry of a light table).
- The image is an integer or block-compressed color texture, which no
  game compares on purpose.

A single-channel color texture behind a constant buffer handle keeps its
view, since a game may compare it deliberately.

Walkthrough

The texture pass now builds indexed handle programs for eligible sampled texture arrays and applies descriptor limits per stage and across pipelines. Renderer pipelines evaluate array elements. Shader joins remap descriptor and storage-buffer indices. Vulkan descriptor setup replaces certain uncomparable depth-sampled views with null views.

Changes: Indexed Texture Handle Arrays

Layer / File(s) Summary
Build indexed texture handle programs
src/shader_recompiler/ir_opt/texture_pass.cpp, src/shader_recompiler/shader_info.h, src/shader_recompiler/host_translate_info.h, src/video_core/renderer_vulkan/vk_pipeline_cache.cpp, tools/shader-sweep/main.cpp, src/tests/video_core/texture_handles.cpp
The texture pass identifies eligible dynamic indices and builds handle programs that use descriptor element indices. Host translation settings expose array support. Tests cover index selection and fallback behavior.
Enforce sampler and image descriptor budgets
src/shader_recompiler/ir_opt/texture_pass.cpp, src/shader_recompiler/ir_opt/passes.h, src/video_core/renderer_vulkan/vk_pipeline_cache.cpp, src/video_core/vulkan_common/vulkan_device.h, src/shader_recompiler/host_translate_info.h, src/tests/video_core/texture_handles.cpp
Per-program and pipeline-wide limits account for sampler, sampled-image, and resource budgets. Array counts and affected indices are capped. Tests cover stage and pipeline limits and shared array budgets.
Evaluate handle-table elements
src/video_core/shader_handle_program.h, src/shader_recompiler/shader_info.h, src/video_core/renderer_opengl/gl_compute_pipeline.cpp, src/video_core/renderer_opengl/gl_graphics_pipeline.cpp, src/video_core/renderer_vulkan/vk_compute_pipeline.cpp, src/video_core/renderer_vulkan/vk_graphics_pipeline.cpp, src/video_core/texture_cache/texture_cache.h, src/tests/video_core/texture_handles.cpp
Handle evaluation resolves constant-buffer and storage-buffer reads and evaluates descriptor elements in batches. OpenGL passes element indices. Vulkan batches array evaluation and reuses consecutive sampler lookups. The texture cache reuses matching consecutive view indices when no images were deleted.
Remap descriptors when joining shader data
src/shader_recompiler/ir_opt/passes.h, src/shader_recompiler/ir_opt/global_memory_to_storage_buffer_pass.cpp, src/shader_recompiler/frontend/maxwell/translate_program.cpp, src/shader_recompiler/ir_opt/texture_pass.cpp, src/tests/video_core/texture_handles.cpp
Storage and texture joins return descriptor mappings. The merge path remaps Vertex B instructions and handle programs using those mappings. Tests cover remapping and dual-vertex merges.

Depth-Sampled Image Views

…views

FillImageViews gives an element that repeats the one before it that
element's view instead of visiting it again. A deletion earlier in the
same pass can take that view with it: scaling a blacklisted image down
erases the image's views (InvalidateScale), and a following element with
the same index, blacklisted too, then read the erased slot. Once the
pass has deleted views, such an element is visited again, as every
element was before. The pass repeats after a deletion anyway, and the
next one takes the shortcut again.

OpenGL pipelines bind at most 64 textures across their stages
(MAX_TEXTURES), in fixed-size arrays, while the OpenGL host's descriptor
limits are the 1024 defaults, so the texture pass doesn't hold its arrays
to that. A 64-element handle table array and any other texture would fail
the pipeline's assert and overrun those arrays. Handle table arrays are
now made only for a host with HostTranslateInfo::support_handle_table_arrays:
Vulkan and the offline shader sweep. On OpenGL such a handle keeps the
constant buffer word the earlier search finds, as before them. A test
covers both.

A texture is a combined image sampler in Vulkan, so it counts against
maxPerStageDescriptorSamplers and maxDescriptorSetSamplers as well as
the sampled image limits. LimitSampledTextureArrays checked only the
sampled image and resource limits, so a 64-element handle table array
could exceed a device's sampler limits and make an invalid pipeline
layout. The descriptor set limits also count the descriptors of every
stage, while each stage sized its arrays as if it had the set to itself.

Texture arrays are now capped by the sampler limits too (texel buffers
still count only as sampled images), and before its stages are emitted
a graphics pipeline shrinks the arrays of all its stages together until
their textures fit the set limits. The Vulkan host passes
maxPerStageDescriptorSamplers in HostTranslateInfo. A test covers the
per-stage and pipeline limits.

The offline profile enables handle table arrays like the Vulkan host,
but not sampled image array nonuniform indexing, so it emitted their
per-invocation accesses without the NonUniform decoration. It now enables
it, matching the SPIR-V the Vulkan backend emits for these arrays.

Same RX 7900 XTX. #292 already removes the green via the 256 MiB compute table pointer cap (fog probes); this PR addresses the root cause (light-table shadow maps via descriptor arrays) and is the better long-term fix. With #292 the light-volume mean is (0.335, 0.393, 0.561); the canopy and sky are natural. Both are worth landing.

Handle devices without nonuniform sampled-image indexing.

When this feature is unavailable, the texture pass can still create a per-invocation descriptor array. The SPIR-V emitter then indexes it without NonUniform, so texture selection can be incorrect.

Gate this array path on the device feature and provide a safe fallback. The legacy constant-buffer search alone can select the wrong texture or fail translation.

…ndexing

A handle table array is indexed with a word each invocation reads for
itself. Without shaderSampledImageArrayNonUniformIndexing the index must
be dynamically uniform, and the emitter can't decorate the access
NonUniform, so on such a device the array would be read with undefined
results. The Vulkan host now enables handle table arrays only when the
device supports that feature; otherwise such a handle keeps the constant
buffer word the earlier search finds, as on OpenGL.

Review info

Valid in part. Fixed in 3fd1c72: support_handle_table_arrays is now device.IsSampledImageArrayNonUniformIndexingSupported(), so the per-invocation array path is only used where the NonUniform-decorated access is defined. On a device without the feature, such a handle falls back to the earlier constant-buffer search, as before this PR and as on OpenGL. A fallback that still picks the right texture there would need a subgroup waterfall loop around each sample. It would also need explicit gradients, because implicit-LOD samples inside that loop lose their derivatives. That’s beyond this PR; current desktop drivers expose the feature.

If the combined descriptors exceed a vertex-stage limit but fit the descriptor-set limits, the pipeline limiter leaves them unchanged. The resulting pipeline layout can violate the device limits and fail pipeline creation. Enforce the per-stage limits on the merged program before layout creation.

Vertex A and Vertex B each fit their texture arrays to the per-stage
descriptor limits when they are translated, but merged they are one
stage, and nothing checked that stage: the pipeline pass only checks
the descriptor set limits. The merged program now goes through
LimitSampledTextureArrays as well.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
MergeDualVertexPrograms starts from Vertex A's Info and adds Vertex B's
descriptors, which kept the indices of Vertex B's handle programs but
not the programs. Such a descriptor indexed Vertex A's list, past its
end when Vertex A has none, and Vertex B's programs read storage buffers
at Vertex B's bindings, which JoinStorageInfo renumbers.

JoinStorageInfo now returns the binding each buffer gets in the merged
program, and JoinTextureInfo appends Vertex B's handle programs with
those bindings, once each as the texture pass keeps them, and remaps
the program index of Vertex B's descriptors. A test merges two programs
whose storage buffers swap bindings.

Count arrays by descriptor identity.

DynamicSampledTextureArrayCount ignores fields such as shift_left that distinguish texture descriptors. When the array count is too low, the initial cap can leave a dynamic descriptor separate from a matching scalar descriptor. The later cap shrinks both but does not merge them, so LimitSampledTextureArrays can throw even when the merged descriptors would fit.

Include the descriptor identity fields in the array count.

…uffers

Joining Vertex B's descriptors and storage buffers onto Vertex A's can
give them new indices, but Vertex B's instructions kept the ones from
its own lists. Whenever Vertex A had descriptors or buffers of the same
kind, Vertex B's samples, image accesses, rescaling tests and storage
loads, stores and atomics read Vertex A's.

JoinTextureInfo now returns the index each of Vertex B's descriptors
gets in the merged lists, and MergeDualVertexPrograms renumbers Vertex
B's blocks with those and the bindings JoinStorageInfo returns. Vertex
A's instructions keep their indices. Tests merge programs whose
descriptors and buffers move, and remap each kind directly.

The texture pass's first cap counted arrays by their constant buffer
word, handle program, type and depth, so arrays that Descriptors::Add
keeps apart, such as one table sampled with two samplers, counted once
and each got the whole budget. They are now counted by the fields
Descriptors::Add compares, all but the count, which the cap sets.

The first cap counted texture arrays by the type each instruction had
before the replace loop, which sets some types only later: a size query
carries none until it takes the type of another instruction with the
same handle program or the one its handle reads as, and a 1D fetch of a
texel buffer becomes a buffer. A size query and a 2D sample of one table
counted as two arrays and halved the cap. The count now uses the type
the replace loop gives, from one helper both share.

src/video_core/shader_handle_program.h: 1> 122-124: Trivial · Performance & Scalability · Quick win

HandleTableNotes adds per-draw heap allocations and a mutex lock that never stop in steady state.
Wanted() returns true while lines is below MAX_LINES. lines only increases when a changed signature is logged. When the table contents stay the same, lines stays low and Wanted() stays true. The Vulkan graphics and compute Configure paths then do this on every draw or dispatch for each handle table:

  • allocate the tics vector (desc.count elements, 64 in the tests);
  • in Note, allocate distinct and signature;
  • run the O(n²) none_of dedupe;
  • lock mutex and do an unordered_map lookup.

This is a diagnostic feature. It should not cost anything on the draw hot path after the first few frames.
Make logging opt-in. A cheap alternative is to cap the number of Note calls, not only the number of logged lines.

♻️ Proposed fix: gate the notes behind an environment variable

-    [[nodiscard]] static bool Wanted() noexcept {
-        return lines.load(std::memory_order_relaxed) < MAX_LINES;
-    }

A Phi use can produce a singleton for the same handle program as an array use. If the stage cap reduces the array to one, both descriptors bind element zero, but the limiter still counts both. It can therefore throw even when merging them would fit the stage limit.

Merge equivalent capped descriptors and remap their instruction indices before checking the totals. Account for the different size_shift values of singleton and array descriptors.

…cut makes equal

A texture array that the limits cut to a single element looked like a single texture. The
stage check (LimitSampledTextureArrays) skipped a program whose arrays the pass had already
cut to one element, and the pipeline check did the same for arrays a stage had cut, so a
stage (compute included) or a pipeline over the limits reached layout creation unchecked.
TextureDescriptor::is_descriptor_array now records that the shader indexes the descriptor,
and both checks count such arrays whatever their count. A program that reads its textures
only on their own is left as before.

A cut also left equal descriptors that the pass would have merged: an array cut to the
elements of another descriptor of its texture, or to the single texture a descriptor of its
own reads. The limits counted both and could fail a stage that fits. One element has no
stride, so an array cut to one takes a single texture's, and CapTextureArrays merges the
descriptors that are then equal, pointing the instructions and the rescaling tests at the
one kept.

Review info

Fixed in c96fd90: the notes are now off unless EDEN_NX2_HANDLE_TABLE_NOTES is set (read once), and the 64-line limit stays. Both Vulkan Configure paths already gate on Wanted(), so with the switch unset they no longer gather the table or call Note.

@coderabbitai Both outside-diff findings on LimitSampledTextureArrays are fixed in 174c497:

  1. Arrays cut to one element skipped the check. TextureDescriptor now has is_descriptor_array. The texture pass sets it for a texture the shader indexes, and it stays set when a cap leaves the array with one element. LimitSampledTextureArrays and LimitPipelineSampledTextureArrays count those arrays, so they still check, and throw for, these cases:

    • a stage, compute included, whose arrays the pass already cut to one element;
    • a pipeline whose arrays a stage cut.

    DynamicSampledTextureCap leaves those arrays out of the static budget. A program that only reads its textures on their own is handled as before.

  2. Equal descriptors were counted twice after a cut. One element has no stride, so an array cut to one element takes a single texture's size_shift. CapTextureArrays then merges the descriptors the cut made equal, through Descriptors::Add as the pass adds them. RemapTextureDescriptors points the instructions and the rescaling tests at the descriptor kept. The checks after the cut count the merged list. The pass gives an array its own cap cuts to one element the same size_shift.

Tests: two new cases in texture_handles.cpp.

  • "Texture arrays a cap cut to one element still count as arrays" covers the stage and the pipeline.
  • "Texture descriptors a cap makes equal share one binding" covers the merge and the remapped instruction and rescaling indices.

The two existing limit tests now use distinct textures where they used identical copies, which the merge would have collapsed.

Docstring coverage: skipped. The check counts every function in the files the PR touches. Most of those are existing code without doc comments, or Catch2 test cases. The helpers this fix adds (IsDescriptorArray, MergeTextureDescriptors) are documented.

@jpkto Thanks for the detailed update. I inspected commit 174c497314.

  • LimitSampledTextureArrays and LimitPipelineSampledTextureArrays count arrays capped to one element.
  • After a cap, equivalent descriptors are merged and texture and rescaling indices are remapped.
  • The two named regression tests cover these cases. I could not run them in this sandbox, so please run them on the current revision.

For docstring coverage, the saved check covers touched functions with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2, not every function in touched files. Its last saved result was 25.53% against an 80% threshold. It was a non-blocking warning; I have not verified a fresh result.

@coderabbitai Ran them on 174c497: texture_handles passes (19 test cases, 367 assertions), and so do the storage buffer, binding capacity, atomic routing, coherence and byte-store suites. Thanks for the correction on the docstring check.

This also fixes the flickering water reflections from #340 on NVIDIA (RTX 5080, Windows).

The water fragment program 31abd56e3aca8d7d was one of the shaders the old search got wrong. It bound a depth-compare handle from c6[0x430] = 0.001 (0x3a83126f), the float you describe in the PR text. That is TIC index 0x3126F, past the pool limit 0x812B, so the draw got the null image and the sun reflection on the water strobed between frames. With this branch the descriptor is the 64-entry handle-table array (count=64, handle program 0). I found it in a RenderDoc capture of two consecutive frames: the water surface draw was the first to differ, with its depth slot bound in one frame and null in the other.

Tested on nx2 8318201fa2 with #564 and this PR merged (it merged cleanly):

One note: this changes what the texture pass produces, but the pipeline cache version stays the same. I cleared the OoT shader cache before testing, so I don't know whether an existing disk cache keeps the old water translation. If it does, a cache version bump would spare users that step.

This reverts commit 00d865a (zortos/Lichii#354).

With it, Ocarina of Time's foreground foliage drew as sky-coloured holes
(Kaepora Gaebora's leaves near Hyrule Castle): the leaves kept their depth
but not their colour. Without it, and in build 117 and current nx2, the
leaves are right. Its fix for the water and window reflection flicker
(zortos293#340) goes with it.

Same route on an RTX 4060 Laptop: 45.7 fps median with zortos293#354, 45.2 without.

The fork section recommended ./oot.sh pace and listed TC_MIN_AGE and the

got Lichii OOM-killed. It now gives the PGO build, the swap file setup,
the settings used for the 49.9 fps result, and why zortos293#354 is not on the

…ptor arrays (port of zortos293#354)

Port of Lichii PR zortos293#354 by jpkto (head 174c497, 17 commits squashed),
which fixes Ocarina of Time's neon-green tint on AMD. The clustered-lighting
fragment shaders sample each light's shadow map with depth comparison, reading
the handle from a table of light entries; the old handle search bound
unrelated words (ASTC colour, R32F or A2B10G10R10_UINT targets, null), and a
depth-compare sample of those is undefined, green on AMD. Such handles now
index a 64-entry descriptor array per invocation (NonUniform), handles are no
longer tracked through texture results or float math, and depth-compare samples
of uncomparable images get the null image. Review fixes from the PR thread are
included (OpenGL keeps one descriptor, sampler and per-pipeline limits, dual
vertex programs, shader-sweep nonuniform indexing, handle-table notes only with
EDEN_NX2_HANDLE_TABLE_NOTES).

Changed in the port: the LICHII_BINDLESS_TABLE override (1 to 1024, 0 off) is
dropped and the 64-entry table ships unconditionally (AGENTS.md: experiment
switches don't merge). No pipeline cache version bump: the Vulkan disk cache
holds guest environments and is translated again by the running build
(pipeline_cache_files.h).

Back-thread cost cuts on every draw and dispatch with textures:
- Binding memo (TextureCache::FindBinding/RecordBinding): a texture, image or sampler binding
  resolved from unchanged guest TIC/TSC entries, unchanged descriptor pools and an image
  nothing happened to since (CPU write, alias, deletion, rescale; per-image serials drawn from
  one clock) reuses its view and sampler ids and its descriptor. 4-way sets, one memo per key
  and descriptor contents; hits of images with aliases check the alias ticks; null views of
  zero or out-of-pool TIC entries don't depend on the mappings. A draw keeps the bindings it
  hits and resolves only the misses, all of them when resolving changed the cache. Lookups are
  batched: every binding's set, then its memo and guest entry lines are prefetched before the
  first check.
- Texture handles and TIC/TSC entries are read through a per-draw cache of translated guest
  pages (GuestPageCache), each page translated once; pages overlapping the syncpoint shim read
  as Read<u32> does (MemoryManager::OverlapsSyncpointShim, added here).
- A compute dispatch with the previous descriptors reuses its descriptor buffer allocation.
- Render target lookups are memoized while no image or view was created, deleted or remapped
  (32 entries keyed on the registers read), and UpdateRenderTargets' clean path is skipped
  while the same targets stand prepared in the same frame.
- A collector pass where Cleanup would refuse every candidate skips the ranking and sort.
- Pages where no image was ever GPU-modified (a filter marked as images become GPU-modified)
  skip the texture cache's lock in MustFlushRegion and GetFlushArea.

EDEN_NX2_GPU_PROFILE logs the memo's hit and miss reasons. The PR's EDEN_NX2_BINDMEMO,

waves 2-5). Handle-table descriptor arrays (Lichii zortos293#354) push their sampler handles for the
memo too (the fix a tester needed when merging zortos293#717), and the binding kind keys whether a
texture handle is read from memory, so a memo payload keeps #354s uncomparable-depth null view.

…NDCACHE) and front-state/draw-batch split work (rebased on build-125)

Squash-merge onto build-125; 28 conflicted files hand-resolved.
Key fusions: build-125's sampled-texture memo and the PR's binding
memo coexist in vk_graphics_pipeline Configure: the binding path
only engages on a full resolve (resolve_in_full) and never under
texture-memo verify; the zortos293#354 batch path records sampler handles
under bind memo like the simple loop does, and the simple loop
still records texture-memo handle_reads in both modes so the reads
stay aligned with their addresses. fixed_pipeline_state keeps
RefreshBlending unconditional (the AMD fog fix from zortos293#679).
maxwell_3d keeps both build-125's fast-draw constant-data note and
the PR's CB_DIRECT write path, and the PR's front-state/draw-batch
sink with build-125's FastDrawNeutral defer flag; the PR's
g_trace_first_method_writes static is dropped in favour of
build-125's member of the same name and value. buffer_cache keeps
the PR's unified write-extent condition (EDEN_NX2_WRITE_EXTENT and
the Cap64K mark from the PR's settings). Three shared-tail closing
braces eaten by keep-both resolutions were restored
(SampledTextureMemo, TickFrame's geometry-stats block,
IsUncomparable); brace accounting now matches the
ours+theirs-base expectation on every touched file.

Note: the user's a7dd2ce (record sampler handles in the graphics
handle-table callback when bind-memo is enabled) is already
expressed by this fusion's batch path, so it is not carried as a
separate commit; the merged callback additionally keeps recording
texture-memo handle_reads, which the old tree did not have.

AGENTS.local.md adapts the upstream agent rules to the owner's PC
(RX 580 on RADV, 6 threads, 16 GB, Arch Linux): fork layout, what the
tuned branch already carries, local build and debug-server workflow,
and the hardware facts that override upstream measurements.
tools/local/build.sh is the one-command incremental build and
tools/local/play.sh launches the frontend with the debug server on.

Updated for the build-125 rebase: the tuned stack is now zortos293#259, zortos293#354,
zortos293#643, zortos293#761 and zortos293#717 (zortos293#756 and zortos293#463/zortos293#818 are upstream's own now, and
a7dd2ce is covered by the zortos293#717 fusion); AGENTS.local.md also records
the open 0.75x scaling-noise problem and its retest matrix.

AMD confirmation plus a second symptom this fixes (RX 7800 XT, Adrenalin 26.10.1, Windows 11, 2560x1440).

The symptom: in Ocarina of Time, wherever Link or an enemy stands in water (Zora's River, Zora's Domain, Jabu-Jabu's Belly, also the translucent floor there), the surface around them shows hard-edged dark rectangles in a stair-step pattern on an 80 px grid. Frame dumps put it in one overlay draw of the water pass; a live reject_shaders bisection pinned it to fragment shader 181ad9cfe8ab17ae. From its IR: it walks list B of the clustered light pool, and for every type-202 record of the light table (96-byte records, handle at +80) it projects the pixel with the record's 3x4 matrix and samples that record's shadow map, i.e. a per-invocation bindless handle read from the table in a loop. BuildHandleProgram stops at the loop phi and the old search takes c0[0x520]. Since #778 that descriptor gets the null view, and a depth-compare sample of the null view returns 0 = fully shadowed, so every 80x80 tile that lists the item goes dark (the only x/y bound is the shadow map's silhouette). Before #778 the same fallback picked an arbitrary texture, which was the water flicker. A cache survey with the recompiler shows 1,358 fragment programs with that shape, all depth-compare light-table lookups; no colour descriptor changes.

With this PR (174c497 merged onto nx2 c2e293e together with #243, #313, #911, #741; the only conflicts were HandleIsStoragePointer next to EvaluateTextureHandles in shader_handle_program.h, and the texture-memo resolve_in_full block around the texture loop in vk_graphics_pipeline.cpp, where the table-array path now runs before the per-element loop and the null-view fallback stays for descriptors without a handle program) the blocks are gone and Link gets a soft shadow on the water. Same session, same spot, LICHII_BINDLESS_TABLE=0: the blocks are back. So the descriptor array is what fixes it. The shader now gets one depth array fs_tex0_00x64 whose handle program reads record i of the table at byte 96 + 96*i; spirv-val passes. It also took effect without clearing the shader cache (the cache re-translates on load), though atk3001's point about a version bump still stands for people who keep old pipelines around.

Two notes from reading the merged code, for the description or a follow-up: indices ≥ 64 are clamped to element 63, so a scene with more than 64 light records samples the wrong shadow map for the rest (wrong, but never null); and EvaluateTextureHandles reads 64 entries regardless of the table's real length, so the tail holds whatever follows in memory (filtered by IsUncomparable, so it never reaches the image, but it costs a view lookup per draw).

Screenshots: array off vs on at the same spot, attached below.
