     tail so active diffuse rays sample finite mesh light geometry more often

 - **Changed**
   - Wavefront environment misses now evaluate a direction-aware sky/key-light
     environment payload instead of only using a flat environment colour.
+  - Wavefront environment misses now respect `environmentPortalMode`; in
+    `guide-and-gate` mode, misses outside configured portals fall back to the
+    ambient residual instead of receiving full sky radiance.
   - Display-quality wavefront configuration now uses GPU-built mesh
     acceleration; CPU-built mesh acceleration is treated as debug-only.

   - Wavefront primary-ray jitter and bounce sampling now use mixed
     pixel/sample/bounce/frame seeds to reduce row-correlated low-sample noise.

 - **Fixed**
   - Fixed primary-ray jitter seeding to use absolute screen pixel ids instead
     of tile-local pixel ids, preventing repeated sampling patterns across
     tiles.
+  - Fixed environment portal WGSL reserved-word usage and now request the

+    creating the mesh-BVH trace pipeline.
   - Fixed the WebGPU hit-buffer stride to match the WGSL `HitRecord` layout
     and added a continuation-queue capacity guard, preventing tile-row
     corruption in mesh BVH wavefront renders.

 full material PDFs/MIS are implemented. High-energy samples are clamped in
 linear radiance space to keep low-sample preview output stable while production
 sampling, temporal accumulation, and better material PDFs are hardened.
+For static mesh scenes, the GPU acceleration build is submitted once and then
+reused by subsequent frames. Per-frame tracing writes one dynamic uniform slot
+per tile/sample or post-process pass and batches tile tracing, tile output,
+optional denoise, and presentation into a single command submission. WebGPU
+still preserves ordering between dependent bounce passes, but the renderer no
+longer forces one CPU queue submission per tile/sample.
+Environment-light portals can additionally guide and gate sky/HDRI contribution
+through rectangular openings such as windows. `environmentPortalMode: "guide"`
+biases diffuse continuation rays toward configured openings, while
+`"guide-and-gate"` requires an environment miss to pass through a portal before
+it receives sky radiance; misses outside a portal fall back to the ambient
+residual. This keeps interior rooms from treating the whole sky as visible from
+every bounce.
 Texture sampling, dynamic TLAS updates, higher-grade LBVH/SAH construction,
 runtime execution behind the `@plasius/gpu-worker` lock-free queue, and broader
 material lookup remain follow-up work.
