# Mean scene luminance from the HDR mip chain -> exposure = key / mean, eased over
# frames. The value comes back through a pixel buffer one frame late: a direct
# glGetTexImage waits for the GPU to finish the whole frame, which serialised the
# CPU and the GPU. With the fly-camera demo that cost little (the CPU had nothing
# else to do); with the game's animals, HUD and rules on the CPU it doubled the frame
# (60 ms -> 28 ms when the read went asynchronous, measured 2026-09-09).
# ... and even that asynchronous read blocked on Apple's GL (glGetTexImage into a pixel
# buffer still synchronised the texture: 50% of the CPU's frame waiting, sampled), so
# the adaptation now stays on the GPU: a 1x1 pass (adapt.frag) eases last frame's value
# toward key / mean and the tonemapper samples it. The CPU never waits for the picture.
