-//   3. ONE fused pass: project every pixel onto the decoded-endpoint line
-//      (the 4 palette entries are colinear and evenly spaced, so the nearest
-//      entry is the rounded projection \u2014 no 4-entry search) while
-//      accumulating the least-squares refit sums, the packed indices and the

-//   4. up to TWO refit rounds (mirroring the high path's iterated refits):
-//      re-quantise the refit endpoints, reproject (indices packed on the

-// vs the pre-projection fast branch (build palette + full 4-entry search \xD7 3

Otherwise a principal-axis endpoint seed (covariance power\n//      iteration; inset bbox on degenerate blocks), inset by ~half a 565\n//      cell (stb_dxt heuristic), quantised to 565 in 4-colour mode (c0 > c1).\n//   3.

Sums of squares, scores and estimates stay f32 (they\n// reach +-5e5..9e6, far past f16's 65504 max). The output is therefore\n// BYTE-IDENTICAL to the f32 module \u2014 verified per-block on the suite\n// textures \u2014 and the two modules share every pin and every test gate.\n//\n// What f16 buys here is register pressure (the luma array halves), not\n// arithmetic rate: on Apple/metal-3 the two modules measure identical\n// (the shader is DRAM-read-bound), but on the mobile GPUs where ETC2 is\n// actually the target format, occupancy from smaller registers is the\n// cheapest speed there is. The COLOUR accumulators deliberately stay f32\n// even though quadrant/pair sums (<= 2040) would be exact in f16: porting\n// them measured 15% SLOWER on Apple (conversion traffic outweighs the\n// register saving). Luma + the table search are the f16 surface.\n//\n// ALGORITHM \u2014 scalar-luma selection (2026-07 rewrite; the original\n// brute-force 8-table \xD7 4-modifier \xD7 vec3-with-clamp search measured\n// 6.0 ms @2048\xB2 on Apple/metal-3, this one ~0.197 ms with the DRAM read\n// floor \u2014 16 loads + store, nothing else \u2014 at ~0.15). This is the SETTLED\n// speed/quality point: the two-candidate scored search below was once\n// swapped for an O(1) hedged pick (\u22124-7% GPU) but cost \u22120.5 dB average \u2014\n// a ~10\xD7 worse dB-per-percent trade than the refit drop \u2014 and was\n// restored. A two-pass prepared-source variant (encode pass 0.115 ms) is\n// in git history: its prep pass is also DRAM-bound and cannot overlap,\n// so the per-texture total regressed. Reading the full RGBA8 source once\n// is this machine's hard floor for any single-pass encoder; the ~0.045\n// above it is the whole algorithm.\n//\n//   \u2022 The ETC1 modifier is a SCALAR shift along (1,1,1), so per texel\n//     err(m) = ||e||\xB2 \u2212 2mD + 3m\xB2 with D = luma(p) \u2212 luma(base), where\n//     luma(x) = x.r+x.g+x.b. Selection therefore needs only |D| threshold\n//     tests: the best table entry is the m with 3m nearest D (A3/B3/THR\n//     below), and \u03A3||e||\xB2 per subblock is O(1) from the load loop's\n//     quadrant sums (\u03A3||p||\xB2 \u2212 2\xB7base\xB7\u03A3p + 8\xB7||base||\xB2). This estimate is\n//     EXACT for unclamped decode and an UPPER BOUND on the true clamped\n//     error (clamping toward [0,255] can only shrink per-channel error),\n//     so every est-based gate is conservative.\n//   \u2022 Flip preselect, O(1): per subblock the residual after PERFECT\n//     continuous luma modulation is within-variance \u2212 (luma variance)/3;\n//     the flip with the smaller summed residual wins and only it is\n//     searched (both-flip est search measured +23% GPU for \u22640.15 dB).\n//     Exact-grayscale blocks have BOTH residuals identically zero (all\n//     variance is along luma), so near-ties fall back to scoring both\n//     flips \u2014 without that, roughness/AO-style content loses ~1.25 dB.\n//   \u2022 Table search is pruned to two candidates \u2014 the table whose LARGE\n//     magnitude covers max|D| and its lower neighbour (outlier hedge).\n//     One candidate loses ~1.2-1.6 dB on photos; all eight gain \u22640.05 dB.\n//   \u2022 NO base refit. The refit family (base \u2190 subblock mean \u2212 mean chosen\n//     modifier) was worth ~0.2 dB on photographic colour (rock-color\n//     33.98 \u2192 33.79 without it) but even its cheapest accepted form cost\n//     ~13% GPU and the exact-accept original ~30% \u2014 dropped 2026-07 as a\n//     deliberate speed/quality trade; see the suite baselines.\n//   \u2022 PLANAR runs unconditionally: with the right-hand sides folded into\n//     the load loop the LSQ solve is O(1) (the Gram inverse of the fixed\n//     sample positions is a constant, det = 25) and its residual is the\n//     closed-form \u03A3||p||\xB2 \u2212 2\xB7\u03B8\xB7rhs + \u03B8\u1D40G\u03B8 evaluated with the QUANTISED,\n//     clamped corners \u2014 exact up to decode's floor-rounding, and crucially\n//     clamp-aware (a continuous-corner estimate mis-picks planar on steep\n//     gradients).
