dhkatzandClaude Opus 5.5 2d9da249fa Draw the whole 3D view in place of the client's renderer
CI / build (push) Failing after 0s
The full view is now the default. While the renderer process covers the whole
view (Channel::covering, set after each frame it presents), the adapter skips
the client's renderer's clears and draws, decided per frame; the client's
renderer still gets state and resources, and draws again as soon as the
renderer process stops covering the view.

The client's window no longer gets WS_CLIPCHILDREN: the client draws when its
window gets WM_PAINT, which a window entirely covered by clipped children never
gets (it fell to about one frame a second). The flip model swap chain shows
above the client's drawing anyway.

dhkatzandClaude Opus 5.5 3cdda4c7ed Map projections' depth like the client's renderer
IMVU's projections give depth from -1 to 1; its Direct3D renderer maps it to 0 to 1, and now so does ours. Without that, the nearer half of the depth range was clipped, the whole 2D overlay (name tags, the frame rate, the room's title) with it. The adapter also draws drawTrianglesFromMemory without indices, and sums up what the client draws in its log.

dhkatzandClaude Opus 5.5 a04dba18c1 Draw particles, match the client's fog, and measure frame delay
Particles (point sprites) are drawn as instanced camera-facing squares sized like Direct3D 9's. Fog is by depth buffer value, as Direct3D 9 does with IMVU's projections. At most one frame is queued for display, frames carry the adapter's timestamp so the renderer process logs the delay to presenting, and the log's lines from several processes no longer mix.

dhkatzandClaude Opus 5.5 9a7d7d2908 Add the renderer process
The renderer becomes two programs: the adapter (t5deRenderEngine.dll, 32-bit, in IMVU's process) and a 64-bit renderer process (t5de-renderer.exe) drawing with Diligent Engine, fetched with FetchContent and pinned. For now a spike: the adapter starts the renderer process for each engine and signals each frame through a shared memory channel, and the renderer process draws a box into a child window in the client's 3D view.
