+ * The candidate (Enshrouded's "pick neighbor candidates"): a thread a listed probe B, dispatched through
+ * `PROBE_DISPATCH_TRACED` after relocation, draws the one neighbour whose rays of this frame it re-samples
+ * (`shader_probe_clipmap_resample_rays`), and writes it to `probe_candidates`: its place in the list, or
+ * `PROBE_CLIPMAP_NONE`, and the weight its rays take.
+ *
+ * - **The neighbours**: the 26 around B's lattice point in its cascade. One is a candidate if it is ALIVE, its
+ *   record holds that point (the storage wraps), and it is listed this frame (`probe_clipmap_listed`), so that its
+ *   rays are in `probe_rays`. A NEW one is not. M counts them.
+ * - **The importance**: the neighbour's radiance, its irradiance's L0 luma, times B's visibility of it: Chebyshev
+ *   over B's depth moments toward it (`probe_visibility_chebyshev`), its distance in B's spacings held to the depth
+ *   limit, as the moments are. A dark neighbour, or one behind a wall, weighs about nothing.
+ * - **The draw**: one by its importance, a reservoir of one through the 26 with a hash of the slot, the update count
+ *   and the neighbour.
+ * - **The weight**: the draw's density divided out, `(1 / M) / p`, p the drawn one's importance over the sum: the
+ *   rays B takes are then, in expectation, every candidate's alike.
+ * - A probe whose first update this is, or a DEAD one, draws nothing: its depth is not yet its own, or it is
+ *   inside a solid.
+ *
+ * Reads the depth atlas as the last publish left it, and the frame's origins, records and states, which no pass
+ * after relocation writes before accumulate.
