dhkatzandClaude Opus 5.5 6e4fe589e5 Draw render targets in the renderer process
CI / build (push) Successful in 48s
While the renderer process runs, the adapter makes the client's render targets
itself and the renderer process draws frames into them: texture targets are
drawn with like any texture, and a pixmap target's frame is read back through
the channel into its Pixmap (protocol version 4: BeginFrame names its target,
CreateRenderTarget, Channel::readSize and the -read event). Frames into render
targets are drawn even while the window is hidden.

The client uses pixmap targets for snapshots (outfit pictures, photos), checked
to look right. The render target interfaces are declared from IMVU's vtables.

dhkatzandClaude Opus 5.5 299cd8c312 Fix particle sizes, and add tools for comparing renderers
Particles: Direct3D 9's size limit evidently isn't the documented 64 pixels; unclamped (up to 2048) they match the client's renderer. A compare view shows the left half's scene over the right half, both renderers side by side; %TEMP%\t5de-renderer-view.txt switches views and %TEMP%\t5de-renderer-shaders\fixed_function.hlsl replaces the shaders while the client runs. The renderer process runs from a copy, so the program can be replaced meanwhile. The adapter recognizes only the textures and buffers it made (others reach the client renderer unchanged) and logs the others and render targets.

dhkatzandClaude Opus 5.5 42fc55cb91 Draw the client's scene in the renderer process
The adapter records everything the client draws (state, transforms, lights, fog, textures and buffers) as a command stream, sent in chunks through the shared memory channel, while IMVU's Direct3D renderer still draws the whole view. The renderer process draws it with Diligent, with shaders reproducing IMVU's Direct3D 9 fixed-function setup, over the right half of the 3D view to compare. It skips to the newest frame when it falls behind, and logs its errors and frame times.
