The CLI's shell commands go through shell(), which is run() on POSIX and a
scratch script handed to Git for Windows' bash on Windows (exit codes read
directly there). compile_app links through `ludicc -o` on Windows, ludic run
starts the .exe, and ludic-dev build and ensure_ludicc assemble
selfhost/ludicc.win.seed.ll, which ludic-dev reseed now writes beside the
macOS seed. ludic bundle makes build/<name>/ with a GUI-subsystem exe carrying
the .ico beside `app icon` as an llvm-rc resource, game.lpak and packs.index;
ludicc gains --gui and --link, and quotes its whole link line for cmd.exe.
Verified: ludic-dev test 135/135, selfhost-test 32/32; on the PC a checkout
bootstraps from the Windows seed, ludic-dev build makes the toolchain, and
`ludic bundle` makes build/Maroon Lake/, which runs from its own folder.

`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.
