`Gl.*` binds the whole OpenGL 4.1 core API — every entry point of the
platform gl3.h with every GL_* constant, generated by `ludic-dev glgen`
with per-call ABI thunks. Windowed builds get an NSOpenGLContext on the
existing window at Retina resolution; headless builds render into an
offscreen CGL context, so a program that uses Gl.* renders and
screenshots identically under the test harness. It links gl.ll, the
thunks and OpenGL.framework only when used; every other build stays
byte-identical.
packages/ludic.render3d is a physically based renderer written on that
surface: HDRI image-based lighting, GPU-generated terrain with scanned
PBR materials, CDLOD, cascaded shadows, glTF with skinning, instanced
vegetation with impostors, procedural grass, water, SSAO, and an HDR
pipeline with bloom, auto-exposure and ACES.
It also carries this session's work on it: the terrain at half its cost
(10.3 -> 5.4 ms of frame), the streaming hitch that got worse the longer
you played, a resize that emptied the world, and the packaging that lets
a game use the renderer from its own repository — `ludic assets`, the
material manifest shipping with the package, and shader lookup falling
back to the install root. See changes/ for each, with its numbers.
The camping game that drove all of it has moved out to its own
repository, Maroon Lake; examples/rendering/smooth.ludic stays as the
renderer's example here.

- runtime: HEADLESS_FRAME_PATH, STICK_DEADZONE / STICK_LEFT_X/Y, key and
byte codes as char literals throughout (`k == 'w'`, `fill(rt_map, ' ', …)`)
- ludic.gameplay/stats: drop the duplicate `stat_field` (it answered "atk"
for every build stat); Stats.base uses stats_field_name
- ludic.shooter: compare aim modes and fire patterns with AimMode.* and
WeaponPattern.* instead of raw ints; STICK_RIGHT_X/Y
- ludic.npcai: DecisionMade / brain_set_state use AiState.*
- examples/games/menu.ludic uses Font.load / Ui.* with FONT_PATH and
BACKDROP named; strings.ludic header says what it prints
- whole tree: `x = x + 1` → `x += 1` (single-term right-hand sides only),
`0 - x` → `-x`, ASCII codes → char literals; every .ludic and every
```ludic fence reformatted with the fixed formatter (whitespace only)

A self-describing Value node (null/int/fixed/bool/str/list/object) with
constructors, builders (Value.add/put) and accessors (get/at/count/kind/
as_int/as_str/…). Reflect.serialize(entity) walks an entity's whole component
set into a value tree — one member per component, each a sub-object of its
fields — and Reflect.apply(entity, value) writes one back; a fixed field
becomes a fixed node, everything else an int node, so the round-trip is
bit-exact, with the model id under "@kind". Json.encode/parse bridge the tree
to and from compact, stable, diffable text, with fixed written as an exact
terminating decimal that parses back bit-for-bit (verified across the raw
Q16.16 range). Together: a one-call, bit-exact save/load for entities.
Written in Ludic and spliced on demand (runtime/native/value.ludic +
reflect_io.ludic, like Query/Light), so a program that doesn't touch
Value.*/Json.*/Reflect.serialize compiles byte-identically and the C-free
bootstrap fixpoint holds (verified). The general tagged-union/any language type
stays tracked in #1; this ships the concrete value tree the serializer needs.
Adds 21 namespace-method docs pages + Value/Json sections,
examples/library/serialize.ludic, and a regression case. Whole CI set green:
x test 72/72, x test-tools 30/30, check-impl/vocabulary/docs.
