-# EVE Carbon/Trinity Shader Constant-Buffer Layout Map
-
-Status: Evolving
-Scope: Carbon/Trinity constant-buffer layouts used by `@carbonenginejs/runtime-resource/formats/webgl`
-Audience: Shader translators, runtime packers, and engine integrators
-Summary: Maps Carbon constant-buffer registers and field layouts for WebGL integration.
-
-> Produced 2026-07-05 from ../carbonengine source (authoritative) for the CEWG
-> per-frame/per-object packer in ccpwgl. All register offsets are in float4
-> (vec4) units. File references are relative to
-> `../carbonengine/trinity/trinity/`.
-
-Scope note: Carbon has **two parallel constant-buffer families**. (a) a
-*generic* Tr2 family in `Tr2ConstantBufferFormats.h`, used by generic Tr2
-renderables; and (b) an *EVE-space* family (`EveSpaceScene::PerFrame*` +
-`EveSpaceObjectVSData/PSData`) used by ships/stations. **ccpwgl's ships mirror
-family (b)**, so that is the primary comparison target.

-## 0. Register assignment (shared by all families)

-From `Tr2Renderer.cpp:38-43`:
-
-| Register | Purpose | Getter |
-|---|---|---|
-| `b1` | per-frame VS | `GetPerFrameVSStartRegister()` (`Tr2Renderer.cpp:1199`) |
-| `b2` | per-frame PS | `GetPerFramePSStartRegister()` (`:1204`) |
-| `b3` | per-object VS | `GetPerObjectVSStartRegister()` (`:1209`) |

-| `b5` | per-object RT vertex-buffer data | `:1224` |
-| `b6` | per-object VS GUI | `GetPerObjectVSGUIStartRegister()` (`:1214`) |
-
-`b0` is left for effect/material ("custom cb0"); effect constants are handled
-by the material path (`Tr2EffectDescription.cpp`), not these structs. EVE space
-objects reach `b3/b4` through `Tr2Renderer::GetPerObjectStartRegister(shaderType)`
-in `Tr2PersistentPerObjectData.h:122,139`.

-## 4. Drift vs ccpwgl GLES-v8 layouts
-
-ccpwgl per-frame: `../ccpwgl/src/eve/EveSpaceScene.js:1906-1949`, filled
-`:1659-1855`. ccpwgl per-object: `../ccpwgl/src/core/data/Tr2PerObjectData.js:52-105`.
-
-### 4a. Per-frame VS drift (Carbon 1a vs ccpwgl vs, b1)
-
-ccpwgl VS = ViewInverseTransposeMat, ViewProjectionMat, ViewMat, ProjectionMat,
-ShadowViewMat, ShadowViewProjectionMat, EnvMapRotationMat, SunData.DirWorld,
-SunData.DiffuseColor, FogFactors, TargetResolution, ViewportAdjustment,
-MiscSettings = **34 regs**.
-
-| Carbon field (off) | ccpwgl field (off) | Status |
-|---|---|---|
-| ViewInverseTransposeMat..EnvMapRotationMat (0-27) | same (0-27) | OK aligned |
-| **ViewProjectionLast (28-31)** | - | MISSING in ccpwgl |
-| **ViewLast (32-35)** | - | MISSING in ccpwgl |
-| **ProjLast (36-39)** | - | MISSING in ccpwgl |
-| Sun.DirWorld+pad (40) | SunData.DirWorld (28) | semantic match, **-12 reg shift** |
-| Sun.DiffuseColor (41) | SunData.DiffuseColor (29) | (-12) |
-| FogFactors+pad (42) | FogFactors (30) | (-12) |
-| TargetResolution+FovXY (43) | TargetResolution (31) | Carbon packs FovXY in .zw; verify `d.targetResolution` carries fov |
-| ViewportAdjustment (44) | ViewportAdjustment (32) | (-12) |
-| Time,Upscaling,ViewportSize (45) | MiscSettings (33)=time,**unused**,vpW,vpH | `.y` differs: Carbon=Upscaling, ccpwgl=0 |
-
-Net: ccpwgl VS omits the 3 motion-vector matrices (12 regs); every field from
-Sun onward is shifted -12 registers. DX11 shaders reading `cb1[28+]` need the
-Carbon-shaped buffer.
-
-### 4b. Per-frame PS drift (Carbon 1b vs ccpwgl ps, b2)
-
-ccpwgl PS = 13 entries ending at VolumetricSlices = **23 regs** vs Carbon's
-**118**.
-
-| Carbon field (off) | ccpwgl field (off) | Status |
-|---|---|---|
-| ViewInverseTransposeMat/ViewMat/EnvMapRotationMat (0-11) | same (0-11) | OK |
-| Sun.DirWorld (12), Sun.DiffuseColor (13) | SunData.DirWorld (12), .DiffuseColor (13) | OK |
-| AmbientColor+ReflectionIntensity (14) | AmbientColor+**NebulaIntensity** (14) | `.w` semantic differs |
-| FogColor (15) | FogColor (15) | OK |
-| ViewportOffset+ViewportSize (16) | ViewportOffset+ViewportSize (16) | OK |
-| TargetResolution+DepthMapSampleCount+Debug (17) | TargetResolution vec4 (17) | `.z/.w` differ |
-| ShadowMapSettings (18) | ShadowMapSettings (18) | OK |
-| ShadowCameraRange+ShadowLightness+ShadowQuality (19) | ShadowCameraRange vec4 (19) | `.z/.w` differ |
-| ProjectionToView+FovXY (20) | ProjectionToView+FovXY (20) | OK |
-| Time,SceneMipLodBias,Upscaling,GammaBrightness (21) | MiscSettings=time,fogType,fogBlur,contrast (21) | only `.x` matches |
-| **FrameIndex,Jittering,invAtlasSize,atlasMinLog2 (22)** | - | MISSING entirely |
-| VolumetricSlices (23) | VolumetricSlices (22) | **-1 reg shift** |
-| **ShadowMapValues[4] (24-27)** | - | MISSING |
-| **ShadowMatrixVal[16] (28-91)** | - | MISSING (64 regs) |
-| **SplitInfo (92)** | - | MISSING |
-| **ProjectionInverseMat (93-96)** | - | MISSING |
-| **CascadeRanges[16] (97-112)** | - | MISSING |
-| **FroxelFogData (113-117)** | - | MISSING |
-
-Net: aligned through reg ~20, diverges at 21, -1 shift from 23, and the whole
-cascaded-shadow + froxel tail (95 regs) is absent in ccpwgl.
-
-### 4c. Per-object VS drift (Carbon 2a vs ccpwgl vs, b3)
-
-| Carbon field (off) | ccpwgl field (off) | Status |
-|---|---|---|
-| worldTransform..customMaskData[1] (0-25) | WorldMat..CustomMaskData1 (0-25) | OK aligned |
-| **boneOffsets[4] (26)** | - (JointMat starts at 26) | CONFLICT |
-| morph data (27) | (part of JointMat) | CONFLICT |
-| customData (28) | (part of JointMat) | CONFLICT |
-| - (joints in separate SSBO) | **JointMat cb3[26..199], 696 floats = 58 joints** | architecture drift |
-
-In Carbon DX11, cb3[26]=boneOffsets, cb3[27]=morph, cb3[28]=customData, and
-joints live in the separate `BoneTransforms` structured buffer (69 max,
-Float4x3). ccpwgl WebGL2 splices 58 joints inline at cb3[26..199] instead.
-The CEWG path keeps Carbon's shape: cb3 stays 29 regs, joints go to the
-dedicated CewgSb UBO (capacity 69). Bone-count note: Carbon
-TR2_MAX_BONES_PER_MESHAREA=69 vs ccpwgl inline 58 (likely a WebGL uniform
-budget choice, not a Carbon constant).
-
-### 4d. Per-object PS drift (Carbon 2b vs ccpwgl ps, b4)
-
-| Carbon field (off) | ccpwgl field (off) | Status |
-|---|---|---|
-| **worldTransform (0-3)** | - | MISSING in ccpwgl |
-| **worldTransformLast (4-7)** | - | MISSING in ccpwgl |
-| **invWorldTransform (8-11)** | - | MISSING in ccpwgl |
-| shipData (12) | Shipdata (0) | match, **-12 reg** |
-| clipSphereCenter+clipRadiusSq (13) | Clipdata1 (1) | (-12) |
-| clipRadius2Sq,impactDataOffset,clipSphereFactor2,clipSphereFactor (14) | Miscdata (2) | partial semantic overlap |
-| shLightingCoefficients[7] (15-21) | ShLighting 4x7 (3-9) | same 7 vec4 (-12) |
-| customMaskMaterialIDs[2] (22-23) | CustomMaskMaterialID0/1 (10-11) | (-12) |
-| customMaskTargets[2] (24-25) | CustomMaskTarget0/1 (12-13) | (-12) |
-| customMaskClamps (26) | CustomMaskBlending (14) | name differs, same slot |
-| screenSize (27) | Screensize (15) | (-12) |
-| customData (28) | - | MISSING in ccpwgl |
-
-Net: Carbon's per-object PS leads with three matrices (12 regs) ccpwgl lacks —
-every ccpwgl PS field is -12 registers vs the DX11 expectation. Largest
-per-object drift; most likely to break translated pixel shaders if the
-GLES-shaped buffer were reused.
-
----
-
-## 5. Ambiguities / flags (not guessed — verify before relying on)
-
-1. **Which per-frame family do specific shipped DX11 shaders bind?** EVE ships
-   use `EveSpaceScene::PerFrame*` (b1/b2), but the generic `Tr2PerFrame*`
-   family, `Tr2InteriorScene` per-frame (`Tr2InteriorScene.cpp:644-645`) and
-   shadow-only `Tr2PerFrameShadowPSData` (`Tr2ConstantBufferFormats.h:10-15`)
-   also exist. Confirm per shader family before packing.
-2. **`d.targetResolution` contents:** ccpwgl relies on `device.targetResolution`
-   carrying FovXY in `.zw` (used at `EveSpaceScene.js:1683`). Not verified in
-   `Tw2Device.js`.
-3. **`Tr2PerFrameVSDataDebug`** (`Tr2ConstantBufferFormats.h:66-70`, used
-   `EveSpaceScene.cpp:856`) is a smaller 8-register b1 variant for debug/shadow
-   passes (ViewInverseTransposeMat + ViewProjectionMat only).
-4. **Bone count 69 vs 58**: source of ccpwgl's 58 not found in Carbon; flag for
-   reconciliation.
-5. **Miscdata/customMaskClamps/CustomMaskBlending semantics** only positionally
-   matched; exact float meanings not fully cross-verified.
-6. Effect/material "custom cb0" buffers are per-effect and out of scope of the
-   fixed ABI above.

+
+ccpwgl per-frame: `../ccpwgl/src/eve/EveSpaceScene.js:1906-1949`, filled
+`:1659-1855`. ccpwgl per-object: `../ccpwgl/src/core/data/Tr2PerObjectData.js:52-105`.
+
+### 4a. Per-frame VS drift (Carbon 1a vs ccpwgl vs, b1)
+
+ccpwgl VS = ViewInverseTransposeMat, ViewProjectionMat, ViewMat, ProjectionMat,
+ShadowViewMat, ShadowViewProjectionMat, EnvMapRotationMat, SunData.DirWorld,
+SunData.DiffuseColor, FogFactors, TargetResolution, ViewportAdjustment,
+MiscSettings = **34 regs**.
+
+| Carbon field (off) | ccpwgl field (off) | Status |
+|---|---|---|
+| ViewInverseTransposeMat..EnvMapRotationMat (0-27) | same (0-27) | OK aligned |
+| **ViewProjectionLast (28-31)** | - | MISSING in ccpwgl |
+| **ViewLast (32-35)** | - | MISSING in ccpwgl |
+| **ProjLast (36-39)** | - | MISSING in ccpwgl |
+| Sun.DirWorld+pad (40) | SunData.DirWorld (28) | semantic match, **-12 reg shift** |
+| Sun.DiffuseColor (41) | SunData.DiffuseColor (29) | (-12) |
+| FogFactors+pad (42) | FogFactors (30) | (-12) |
+| TargetResolution+FovXY (43) | TargetResolution (31) | Carbon packs FovXY in .zw; verify `d.targetResolution` carries fov |
+| ViewportAdjustment (44) | ViewportAdjustment (32) | (-12) |
+| Time,Upscaling,ViewportSize (45) | MiscSettings (33)=time,**unused**,vpW,vpH | `.y` differs: Carbon=Upscaling, ccpwgl=0 |
+
+Net: ccpwgl VS omits the 3 motion-vector matrices (12 regs); every field from
+Sun onward is shifted -12 registers. DX11 shaders reading `cb1[28+]` need the
+Carbon-shaped buffer.
+
+### 4b. Per-frame PS drift (Carbon 1b vs ccpwgl ps, b2)
+
+ccpwgl PS = 13 entries ending at VolumetricSlices = **23 regs** vs Carbon's
+**118**.
+
+| Carbon field (off) | ccpwgl field (off) | Status |
+|---|---|---|
+| ViewInverseTransposeMat/ViewMat/EnvMapRotationMat (0-11) | same (0-11) | OK |
+| Sun.DirWorld (12), Sun.DiffuseColor (13) | SunData.DirWorld (12), .DiffuseColor (13) | OK |
+| AmbientColor+ReflectionIntensity (14) | AmbientColor+**NebulaIntensity** (14) | `.w` semantic differs |
+| FogColor (15) | FogColor (15) | OK |
+| ViewportOffset+ViewportSize (16) | ViewportOffset+ViewportSize (16) | OK |
+| TargetResolution+DepthMapSampleCount+Debug (17) | TargetResolution vec4 (17) | `.z/.w` differ |

+| Time,SceneMipLodBias,Upscaling,GammaBrightness (21) | MiscSettings=time,fogType,fogBlur,contrast (21) | only `.x` matches |
+| **FrameIndex,Jittering,invAtlasSize,atlasMinLog2 (22)** | - | MISSING entirely |
+| VolumetricSlices (23) | VolumetricSlices (22) | **-1 reg shift** |
+| **ShadowMapValues[4] (24-27)** | - | MISSING |
+| **ShadowMatrixVal[16] (28-91)** | - | MISSING (64 regs) |
+| **SplitInfo (92)** | - | MISSING |
+| **ProjectionInverseMat (93-96)** | - | MISSING |
+| **CascadeRanges[16] (97-112)** | - | MISSING |
+| **FroxelFogData (113-117)** | - | MISSING |
+
+Net: aligned through reg ~20, diverges at 21, -1 shift from 23, and the whole
+cascaded-shadow + froxel tail (95 regs) is absent in ccpwgl.
+
+### 4c. Per-object VS drift (Carbon 2a vs ccpwgl vs, b3)
+
+| Carbon field (off) | ccpwgl field (off) | Status |
+|---|---|---|
+| worldTransform..customMaskData[1] (0-25) | WorldMat..CustomMaskData1 (0-25) | OK aligned |
+| **boneOffsets[4] (26)** | - (JointMat starts at 26) | CONFLICT |
+| morph data (27) | (part of JointMat) | CONFLICT |
+| customData (28) | (part of JointMat) | CONFLICT |
+| - (joints in separate SSBO) | **JointMat cb3[26..199], 696 floats = 58 joints** | architecture drift |
+
+In Carbon DX11, cb3[26]=boneOffsets, cb3[27]=morph, cb3[28]=customData, and
+joints live in the separate `BoneTransforms` structured buffer (69 max,
+Float4x3). ccpwgl WebGL2 splices 58 joints inline at cb3[26..199] instead.
+The Carbon WebGL path keeps Carbon's shape: cb3 stays 29 regs, joints go to the
+dedicated CjsSb UBO (capacity 69). Bone-count note: Carbon
+TR2_MAX_BONES_PER_MESHAREA=69 vs ccpwgl inline 58 (likely a WebGL uniform
+budget choice, not a Carbon constant).
+
+### 4d. Per-object PS drift (Carbon 2b vs ccpwgl ps, b4)
+
+| Carbon field (off) | ccpwgl field (off) | Status |
+|---|---|---|
+| **worldTransform (0-3)** | - | MISSING in ccpwgl |
+| **worldTransformLast (4-7)** | - | MISSING in ccpwgl |
+| **invWorldTransform (8-11)** | - | MISSING in ccpwgl |
+| shipData (12) | Shipdata (0) | match, **-12 reg** |
+| clipSphereCenter+clipRadiusSq (13) | Clipdata1 (1) | (-12) |
+| clipRadius2Sq,impactDataOffset,clipSphereFactor2,clipSphereFactor (14) | Miscdata (2) | partial semantic overlap |
+| shLightingCoefficients[7] (15-21) | ShLighting 4x7 (3-9) | same 7 vec4 (-12) |
+| customMaskMaterialIDs[2] (22-23) | CustomMaskMaterialID0/1 (10-11) | (-12) |
+| customMaskTargets[2] (24-25) | CustomMaskTarget0/1 (12-13) | (-12) |
+| customMaskClamps (26) | CustomMaskBlending (14) | name differs, same slot |
+| screenSize (27) | Screensize (15) | (-12) |
+| customData (28) | - | MISSING in ccpwgl |
+
+Net: Carbon's per-object PS leads with three matrices (12 regs) ccpwgl lacks —
+every ccpwgl PS field is -12 registers vs the DX11 expectation. Largest
+per-object drift; most likely to break translated pixel shaders if the
+GLES-shaped buffer were reused.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Ambiguities / flags (not guessed — verify before relying on)
+
+1. **Which per-frame family do specific shipped DX11 shaders bind?** EVE ships
+   use `EveSpaceScene::PerFrame*` (b1/b2), but the generic `Tr2PerFrame*`
+   family, `Tr2InteriorScene` per-frame (`Tr2InteriorScene.cpp:644-645`) and
+   shadow-only `Tr2PerFrameShadowPSData` (`Tr2ConstantBufferFormats.h:10-15`)
+   also exist. Confirm per shader family before packing.
+2. **`d.targetResolution` contents:** ccpwgl relies on `device.targetResolution`
+   carrying FovXY in `.zw` (used at `EveSpaceScene.js:1683`). Not verified in
+   `Tw2Device.js`.
+3. **`Tr2PerFrameVSDataDebug`** (`Tr2ConstantBufferFormats.h:66-70`, used
+   `EveSpaceScene.cpp:856`) is a smaller 8-register b1 variant for debug/shadow
+   passes (ViewInverseTransposeMat + ViewProjectionMat only).
+4. **Bone count 69 vs 58**: source of ccpwgl's 58 not found in Carbon; flag for
+   reconciliation.
+5. **Miscdata/customMaskClamps/CustomMaskBlending semantics** only positionally
+   matched; exact float meanings not fully cross-verified.
+6. Effect/material "custom cb0" buffers are per-effect and out of scope of the
+   fixed ABI above.
