…s inside a host's frame Embedding cosmos.gl in an application with its own renderer (deck.gl, map engines, notebooks) was blocked by the Graph's ownership assumptions: the constructor required a container div, adopted and reparented the device's canvas, installed pointer/keyboard/zoom/drag handlers, and ran its own requestAnimationFrame loop that cleared and submitted the device every frame. A host sharing its device got its canvas stolen and its frame schedule fought over. The contract is now: a Graph constructed without a div owns nothing it did not create, and a host can replace the frame scheduler entirely. - `new Graph(null, config, devicePromise?)` creates a headless, simulation-only instance: no canvas adoption or styling, no input handlers, no ResizeObserver, no attribution DOM, and never a clear or submit on an external device. Works with an internal device too — it renders to a detached canvas, which is the "hidden layout engine" pattern for CPU-readback integrations. - The interaction setup moves into `initInteractions()`, skipped when headless; view-dependent APIs guard on the pieces they need and become inert instead of throwing. - Headless transitions snap: nothing advances `transition.step()` without a render loop, so an animated transition would freeze positions at their source forever. - `enableRenderLoop: false` (config, default `true`) keeps a non-headless instance from ever scheduling rAF; the host calls `step()` to advance the simulation and the new `renderOneFrame()` to draw one frame. - The alpha-floor check that ends the simulation lived only in the rAF callback; `step()` now performs it when no loop exists, so a host-driven simulation still fires `onSimulationEnd` — and no step ever runs with alpha already below ALPHA_MIN, same as before. A Graph can now live inside deck.gl's (or any host's) frame lifecycle: the host owns the canvas, the device, and the clock; cosmos only computes and, when asked, draws.

…pshots, sparse writes, per-point pinning
A host that renders cosmos's simulation itself had exactly one way to
reach the positions: getPointPositions(), a synchronous full-framebuffer
readback into a number[] — a GPU stall plus a CPU copy per call, and no
way at all to keep the data on the GPU or to push a single point back in —
mapping a host's drag onto the simulation required replacing the whole
position array.
The contract is now: positions are readable at three costs (GPU handle,
async copy, sync copy), and writable at texel granularity — without ever
touching the caller's input arrays.
- getPointPositionTexture() returns {texture, pointCount, textureSize,
version}. The exported PointPositionTexture type documents the texel
layout (square RGBA32F, point i at (i % size, i / size) as
[x, y, i, unused]) and the ping-pong rule: the handle alternates every
simulation write, so consumers re-fetch when `version` changes instead
of caching the texture object. The version counter bumps on every
swap, CPU upload, transition frame, and sparse write.
- getPointPositionsAsync(out?) copies the pixels into a staging buffer
on the GPU timeline and resolves on a fence — no stall. A fresh buffer
per call keeps overlapping reads from corrupting each other.
- getPointPositionsArray(out?) is the synchronous Float32Array form with
an optional caller-provided destination; getPointPositions() now
delegates to it and documents that it stalls. All three share one
NaN-resolution path: an absent point reads back as NaN, never as its
frozen last on-screen coordinate.
- setPointPosition / setPointPositionsByIndices write one texel per
point into the live position texture — the drag write generalized.
Only `current` is written: every GPU write path swaps first and reads
what was current, so the update survives the next tick. Absent points
are skipped (a sparse write must not resurrect a removed point), and
input arrays are never edited — a full data update starts from the
caller's positions again.
- setPointPinned(index, pinned) flips one pin with a one-texel write
instead of setPinnedPoints' full-texture rebuild, keeping the CPU-side
pinned set in sync (cloned, not mutated — the array may belong to the
caller) so later full rebuilds agree.
Together: a zero-copy consumer samples the texture by index, a readback
consumer polls without stalling, and interactive hosts pin and move
individual points against a running simulation.

…rPass and setViewTransform
Reaching cosmos's full rendering (per-point shapes, colors, sizes,
curved per-link-colored links, arrows, greyout) from inside another
engine was impossible: the draw pass could only target cosmos's own
canvas through its own render pass, and the shaders could only project
with the view its interactive zoom behavior maintained — a headless
instance has no canvas to zoom and so no view at all. A deck.gl layer
wanting cosmos visuals had to reimplement them shader by shader.
The contract is now: a host can hand cosmos both halves of rendering —
the surface (its render pass) and the camera (its view transform).
- drawToRenderPass(renderPass, {points?, links?}) records the point and
link draws into a host-owned pass without clearing, ending, or
submitting it. renderFrame() routes through it, so internal and hosted
rendering share one code path.
- setViewTransform({k, x, y}, screenSize?) sets the view directly,
bypassing the zoom gesture. It routes through the same matrix-baking
the d3-zoom handler uses (extracted as Zoom.applyEventTransform), so
every view consumer stays consistent: the shader projection matrix,
picking, point-radius zoom scaling, and the space↔screen conversions.
The JSDoc states the exact space→screen formula so hosts can invert
their own camera into cosmos's convention.
- screenSize is taken from the argument only when supplied — required
headless (no canvas to measure), ignored on canvas-owning instances
where the canvas stays the source of truth.
- One documented constraint: the d3 transform's uniform positive scale
means space y always points up, so a deck.gl view embedding cosmos
rendering uses OrthographicView({flipY: false}).
A deck.gl layer now needs ~25 lines to draw the full cosmos pipeline
under deck's camera: convert the viewport, call setViewTransform, call
drawToRenderPass. Hosts now have both integration options: sample the
position texture with their own shaders, or reuse cosmos's draw
programs — whichever fits.

…e — host blend state zeroed the simulation On a shared device the simulation self-destructed: every point's index channel read back 0 and the layout collapsed into the space corner — with the host completely idle. luma applies only the pipeline `parameters` a Model declares, and cosmos's offscreen models declare none, so they inherit the context's ambient state. On cosmos's own device that state is the WebGL defaults; an external device arrives mid-frame carrying the host's. deck.gl leaves blending enabled, and a blended write into the RGBA32F position textures — whose texels carry alpha 0 — multiplies every channel toward zero. The contract is now: cosmos's GPU passes run against the state they were written for, regardless of what the host left behind. - resetExternalDeviceState() restores blend, depth test/mask, scissor, stencil, cull, and color mask through luma's tracked setParametersWebGL, so the host's own state tracking stays coherent. - It runs at the top of runSimulationStep() and renderFrame() — the two entry points every simulation and draw pass funnels through. - Cosmos-owned devices skip it entirely: no host code touches their state, and existing single-instance behavior stays byte-identical. Verified on a device shared with deck.gl: 100 simulation steps interleaved with deck redraws keep all 10,000 index channels intact, and a pinned, sparse-moved point survives a step exactly in place.

…ctures, one shared device
The host-embedding APIs needed a real consumer to prove they compose.
Nothing in the repo exercised an
external device, external scheduling, or the position-sharing contract.
A new Examples/Integrations section runs cosmos.gl headless inside
deck.gl three ways, ordered by how much rendering the host takes over:
- "shared device, zero-copy": deck owns canvas, device, and frame
lifecycle; cosmos steps once per frame from onBeforeRender; custom
layers (cosmos-deck-layers.ts) render points and links by
texelFetching the live position texture by index. Positions never
leave the GPU.
- "cosmos rendering in a deck layer": same shared device, but the layer
converts deck's viewport into cosmos's view convention
(setViewTransform) and lets cosmos's own draw programs render
everything (drawToRenderPass) — cluster colors, per-point sizes,
curved per-link-colored links, no custom shaders. Uses
OrthographicView({flipY: false}): cosmos space y points up.
- "CPU readback layout": cosmos as a pure layout engine on its own
hidden device, feeding stock ScatterplotLayer/LineLayer through
throttled getPointPositionsAsync() snapshots — the classic
layout-engine pattern for hosts that keep stock layers.
deck.gl ~9.3.0 joins as a devDependency deliberately: deck 9.3 resolves
to the same @luma.gl/core@9.3.6 cosmos pins, so one deduped copy serves
both — a Device shared across two luma installations is not a supported
boundary. Simulation ending flips deck's _animate off, so the settled
graph redraws only on interaction; a Restart button reheats both.

…hared with the host cosmos.gl pinned @luma.gl/* as regular dependencies, so an application that also depends on luma.gl (directly or through deck.gl) could resolve two independent copies. A GPU Device shared between two luma.gl installations is not a supported boundary, and the public types forced casts between two incompatible `Device` declarations — exactly the failure mode host embedding exists to avoid. The contract is now: the application owns the luma.gl installation; cosmos.gl declares what it is compatible with. - @luma.gl/core, engine, shadertools, and webgl move from dependencies to peerDependencies with a documented compatibility range of ^9.3.0 — future 9.x stables are covered without a cosmos.gl release; prerelease lines (9.4 alphas) intentionally fall outside it and surface as peer warnings rather than silent dual installs. - Pinned ~9.3.6 copies stay in devDependencies so the repo's own build, lint, and storybook remain deterministic. - The ES build derives its rollup externals from dependencies; after the move it would have silently *bundled* a private luma.gl copy — defeating the whole point. Externals now cover peerDependencies too. - The UMD build still bundles everything: the jsdelivr single-file use case has no package manager to provide peers. - Breaking for Yarn 1 / no-auto-peers pnpm setups (they must install luma.gl explicitly); npm 7+ installs peers automatically. migration-notes.md documents the change, README notes it at install. An application, deck.gl, and cosmos.gl now resolve one @luma.gl/core — verified with npm ls: every consumer in this repo dedupes to 9.3.6.

Why headless mode, external scheduling, GPU position sharing, host rendering, the external-device GL-state fix, and the luma.gl peer-dependency move landed together: they are the upstream prerequisites for embedding cosmos.gl in host renderers such as deck.gl. The entry keeps the tradeoffs (which pieces were deferred and why), the texel/version contract, the shared-device state-leak mechanism, the packaging contract, and the three example architectures.

…ready declare full pipeline state The cosmos-rendering story disabled the device's depth test before drawToRenderPass, assuming cosmos's draw models left depth state to the ambient context. They don't: every visible draw model (points, occlusion passes, highlight ring, links) declares depthWriteEnabled/depthCompare alongside its blend state, and luma applies those per draw — depthCompare 'always' maps to glDisable(DEPTH_TEST) in the WebGL backend. The override was not only redundant, it mutated ambient state that later deck layers could observe. The layer now just records cosmos's draws into deck's pass; the comment documents the actual contract instead of hedging around it.

The engine had no automated tests at all — every contract this branch introduces (headless lifecycle, snapshots, the position-texture version counter, sparse writes, pinning, host view injection, external-device state safety) was verified by hand in Storybook. Headless mode is what finally makes the engine unit-testable: a Graph needs no DOM and no render loop, so a test can drive it deterministically with step(). GPU code needs a real GPU context, not a DOM emulation — the suite runs in headless Chromium (SwiftShader) through vitest browser mode. 13 tests in ~3s via `npm test`: - headless lifecycle: points move under forces, stay finite and inside the space, and onSimulationEnd fires from step()'s alpha-floor check - snapshots: number[]/Float32Array/async variants agree, destination arrays are reused, absent (NaN) points read back as NaN - position texture: size/count contract, version advances with the simulation, undefined before the first render - sparse updates: immediate readback, absent points are not resurrected, mismatched index/position pairs are rejected without side effects - pinning: a pinned, sparse-moved point holds through 30 steps and is released by unpinning - setViewTransform: spaceToScreenPosition matches the documented space→screen formula, getZoomLevel reports the injected scale - external device: with host blend and depth state deliberately enabled, the simulation stays intact and a pinned point survives steps — the regression test for the ambient-GL-state fix, confirmed to fail with the reset disabled — and Graph.destroy() leaves the host's device usable - external scheduling: enableRenderLoop: false + renderOneFrame() drives a canvas-owning graph to simulation completion Wiring: test/tsconfig.json mirrors the stories pattern so typed linting covers the tests, the lint script now includes ./test, and vitest's config stays out of the build path.

…parison, open items The host-embedding work spans nine commits, an upstream RFC, a future-work scope note, and a deep review — none of it readable in one place. Reviewers and adapter authors need a single document that says what shipped, what it deliberately diverged from, and what is still open before the PR leaves draft. - README.md walks the change by mechanism: the three ownership modes, the shared-device frame and the ambient-GL-state reset, the position-sharing tiers and the PointPositionTexture version contract, host rendering under a host camera, and the luma.gl peer move. - A dedicated section frames the feature as host-agnostic — three integration tiers (shared luma Device, shared raw WebGL2 context via luma.attachDevice, headless CPU snapshots) — so the concept reads wider than a deck.gl layer, which is the worked example rather than the boundary. - A line-by-line proposed-vs-implemented comparison against the deck.gl-community cosmos-layers RFC (visgl/deck.gl-community#704): the nine upstream asks, the RFC's API sketches against the shipped signatures, its package phases against the three stories, and its acceptance criteria as of today — divergences stated with their reasons, not just checkmarks. - The review's open items are recorded with mechanisms rather than verdicts (the async-readback fence, the unguarded trackPoints entries, CI test wiring, the readback story teardown, the pinning bounds semantics) so each can be fixed or consciously deferred. - host-embedding.html is the same document as a standalone rendered page with figures (frame timeline, ping-pong/version contract, readback tiers, peer-dependency move), following the many-body-force precedent of a styled companion page. The branch now carries its own record: what shipped, why, what it answers in the RFC, and what remains open.

…alone, composable class
Embedding hosts that only want the force layout still had to construct a
Graph — a class whose surface is dominated by rendering and interaction
(zoom, fit, hover, picking) that a simulation-only consumer must ignore,
and whose internals invited reaching into private modules. The headless
mode proved the behavioral contract; this gives it a first-class shape.
The contract is now: `GraphSimulation` owns everything the physics
needs — device, data model, position engine, force modules, clusters,
the step pipeline with alpha decay and end detection — and `Graph`
composes an instance of it with its renderer and controllers.
- GraphSimulation (src/simulation.ts, exported) carries the ingest
setters (positions, links, sizes, clusters, pinning, sparse writes),
applyData() as the render() counterpart, start/pause/unpause/stop/
step, the three position outputs (texture, async, sync), setConfig
with the enableSimulation lifecycle, and the external-device GL-state
reset. Standalone use never needs a Graph.
- Graph shares one config object with the simulation (setConfig reaches
both halves), aliases its store/data/points internally, and threads
interaction context into the step instead of the simulation reading
controllers it no longer knows about:
runSimulationStep(force, {applyMouseRepulsion, blockedByInteraction}).
- GraphSimulationConfigInterface Picks the simulation keys from
GraphConfigInterface (plus pointDefaultSize — collision derives point
radii from sizes), so every option is documented exactly once.
- Points is deliberately not split: it still carries both simulation
resources and draw programs, owned by the simulation with Graph
reaching in for rendering. Splitting it is the remaining internal
debt; the public boundary won't change when it lands.
- Fixes a latent init race in passing: Graph.isReady used to flip true
before the modules existed, so a setPointPositions call landing in
the canvas-measurement window could dereference undefined points. It
now flips after the module aliases are wired.
Covered by test/graph-simulation.test.ts (7 standalone tests: lifecycle,
links, texture contract, pinning, setConfig enable/disable, shared
external device with host GL state enabled); the 13 existing
host-embedding tests pass unchanged against the composed Graph.

The shared-device zero-copy story is exactly the use case the extracted simulation class exists for — deck.gl owns everything visual, cosmos.gl contributes only physics. Running it on a headless Graph after the extraction would demonstrate the workaround instead of the API. - deck-gl-zero-copy constructs `new GraphSimulation(config, device)` and applies data with applyData(); no Graph, no render()-shaped naming. - The texture-sampling layers accept `GraphSimulation | Graph` — both expose getPointPositionTexture(), and the readback story still drives a headless Graph, which remains a supported shape. - The story harness teardown accepts either class (both have destroy()).

🌐 Web query:
For luma.gl 9.3 WebGL, does Buffer.readAsync wait non-blockingly for a GPU PBO copy through a fence, or does it synchronously use getBufferSubData?
💡 Result:
In luma.gl 9.3, Buffer.readAsync for WebGL does not use a non-blocking GPU PBO (Pixel Buffer Object) copy mechanism; instead, it performs a synchronous read under the hood [1]. While the API exposes an asynchronous Promise-based interface, the library documentation explicitly states that asynchronous buffer reads are emulated in WebGL2 [1]. The actual read operation is performed synchronously, which blocks the CPU until the GPU finishes all pending commands and the data is transferred [1][2]. The library does not use PBO-based non-blocking reads for WebGL because the necessary WebGL extensions are not broadly reliable across all platforms (notably missing on macOS), which is a primary development environment for luma.gl [1][2]. Therefore, calling readAsync in a WebGL context forces a synchronization point where the CPU waits for the GPU to complete its work, equivalent to the behavior of a synchronous getBufferSubData call [1][2].

Resolve the async-readback performance claim.
getPointPositionsAsync() submits copyTextureToBuffer and immediately calls stagingBuffer.readAsync() without a fence. In luma.gl 9.3.6 WebGL, Buffer.readAsync() uses synchronous getBufferSubData, so this promise may block until queued GPU work completes. Update the entry or add a fence before claiming non-stalling readback.

Guard against a short positions array.
The loop reads positions[i * 2] and positions[i * 2 + 1] without checking the length of positions. If a caller passes fewer coordinates than indices, the reads return undefined, and the Float32Array assignment converts them to NaN. The code then writes a NaN texel into the live position texture. The point is not marked absent (absence is derived from data.pointPositions), so the shaders read a NaN coordinate for a present point.
Graph.setPointPositionsByIndices in src/index.ts (Line 756) accepts number[] | Float32Array from the public API, so the mismatch is reachable from user code.

Add the ensureDevice guard to stop().
Every other lifecycle method (start, pause, unpause, step, applyData) defers through ensureDevice until the device resolves. stop() does not. If a host calls stop() before await simulation.ready, the constructor's setup promise then executes line 183 (this.store.isSimulationRunning = this.config.enableSimulation) and sets the flag back to true. The stop is silently reverted, and isSimulationRunning reports true after a stop() call.

The isnan culling branch does not match the documented texture contract.
PointPositionTexture documents that an absent point keeps its frozen last coordinate in the texture (src/simulation.ts lines 35-41), not a NaN value. The shaders test isnan(pointPosition.r), so this branch never runs for absent points, and absent points draw at their last position. The comment on line 32 ("frozen NaN-adjacent state") also states the opposite of the contract.
The mesh data in these stories contains no absent points, so nothing is visibly wrong today. The example still teaches an incorrect rule to hosts that copy it. Either drop the dead branch and state that absent points must be filtered by the host from the input positions, or pass an explicit per-point visibility signal into the layer.
📝 Proposed comment fix for the points shader
- // An absent point keeps a frozen NaN-adjacent state; cull it off-screen
+ // Defensive only: the position texture keeps an absent point's frozen last
+ // coordinate (see `PointPositionTexture`), so hosts that support absent points

Destroy the graph in destroy().
This story creates a headless Graph without an external device, so the graph creates and owns its own WebGL2 device, canvas, and GPU textures. destroy() cancels the animation frame and finalizes deck, but never calls graph.destroy(). Each story mount therefore leaks one device. Browsers limit the number of live WebGL contexts, so repeated mounts in Storybook can stop later stories from rendering.
A readback started before teardown can also resolve afterwards and call updateLayers(), which calls deck.setProps() on a finalized Deck. Add a teardown flag to drop that late callback.
The other two integration stories already destroy the graph before finalizing deck.

Summary
Makes cosmos.gl embeddable inside host renderers such as deck.gl: the simulation can now run headless on a host's GPU device and frame schedule, hand its positions to the host at three different costs (GPU texture, async snapshot, sync snapshot), and either let the host render them or render itself into the host's pass with the host's camera.
New APIs
Headless mode —
new Graph(null, config, devicePromise?)creates a simulation-only instance: no canvas adoption or reparenting, no pointer/keyboard/zoom/drag handlers, no internal render loop, and an externally supplied device is never cleared, submitted, resized, or reparented. Works with an internal device too (hidden layout-engine pattern).External frame scheduling —
enableRenderLoop: false(config) disables the internalrequestAnimationFrameloop; the host callsstep()to advance the simulation and the newrenderOneFrame()to draw. The simulation-end check now also runs fromstep(), soonSimulationEndstill fires under host scheduling.GPU position sharing —
getPointPositionTexture()returns{texture, pointCount, textureSize, version}. The exportedPointPositionTexturetype documents the texel layout (square RGBA32F, pointiat(i % size, i / size)as[x, y, i, unused]) and the ping-pong contract: the handle alternates every simulation write, so consumers re-fetch whenversionchanges.Efficient snapshots —
getPointPositionsArray(out?)(Float32Array, optional caller-provided destination) andgetPointPositionsAsync(out?)(staging-buffer copy resolved on a fence — no GPU stall).getPointPositions()now documents that it stalls and delegates to the array variant.Sparse updates and pinning —
setPointPosition(index, x, y),setPointPositionsByIndices(indices, positions), andsetPointPinned(index, pinned)write one texel per point into the live simulation state (the drag pattern, generalized). Input arrays are never modified. Together they map host-driven drag interactions onto a running simulation.Host rendering —
drawToRenderPass(renderPass, {points?, links?})records the point/link draws into a host-owned pass without clearing, ending, or submitting it, andsetViewTransform({k, x, y}, screenSize?)injects the host's camera through the same path the interactive zoom uses — so a deck.gl layer can render cosmos's full pipeline (shapes, per-point colors/sizes, curved per-link-colored links, arrows) in ~25 lines with no custom shaders.Bug fix: shared-device GL state
Verifying the zero-copy story surfaced a bug that would have broken every shared-device embedding: cosmos's offscreen passes inherited the host's ambient GL state. deck.gl leaves blending enabled, and blended writes into the RGBA32F position textures (texels carry alpha 0) zeroed the whole simulation.
resetExternalDeviceState()now restores blend/depth/scissor/stencil/cull/color-mask at the top ofrunSimulationStep()/renderFrame()— external devices only; cosmos-owned devices are untouched, keeping existing behavior byte-identical.Storybook examples (Examples/Integrations)
Three embedding architectures against deck.gl
~9.3.0(devDependency, dedupes to the same@luma.gl/core@9.3.6cosmos uses):onBeforeRender; custom layerstexelFetchthe live position texture. Positions never leave the GPU.setViewTransform+drawToRenderPasslet cosmos's own draw programs render everything under deck's camera.ScatterplotLayer/LineLayervia throttledgetPointPositionsAsync()snapshots.Breaking change: luma.gl is now a peer dependency
@luma.gl/*moved fromdependenciestopeerDependencies(compatibility range^9.3.0) so an application, deck.gl, and cosmos.gl resolve one luma installation — aDeviceshared across two luma copies is not a supported boundary. The ES build keeps luma external (the rollup externals list now covers peers; before, the move would have silently bundled a private copy); the UMD/jsdelivr build stays standalone. npm 7+ users are unaffected (peers auto-install); Yarn 1 / no-auto-peers pnpm setups must install luma explicitly — seemigration-notes.md.Validation
