The device's textureCompressionBC is asked for and remembered (gvk_has_bc). tex_load_ex prefers a DX10 .dds with the full chain beside the .png (not for an edge-padded cut-out atlas): texture_dds.ludic reads BC7 / BC5 / BC4, gpu_tex_compressed makes the image with every level and no colour-attachment use (a compressed image is only sampled and copied into), and gvk_tex_upload_blocks copies each level's blocks from one staging buffer. A colour map is BC7 sampled as sRGB, a data map BC7 read as it is. examples/rendering/bc.ludic holds it, in the suite; ludic.lab's plate carries its .dds (its three shots render at 56-60 dB against the .png's). ludic-dev test 307/307, no Vulkan SDK in the environment.
