RHI/Vulkan: diagnostic parity — every MCP render tool now answers on Vulkan - #888
Conversation
…CP tools Issue #810 sections 1-3. Follow-up to #691/#801: the §1.6 relocation made Renderer/Debug backend-neutral in STRUCTURE without giving Vulkan an equivalent ANSWER for what the GL tools report. 1. VulkanResourceInspectorBackend Rather than teaching ~15 Vulkan constructors to call OLO_GPU_REGISTER_* — duplicating bookkeeping the engine already does — RHI::ResourceRegistry gains a Snapshot(). It is the one place holding identity + native + kind + owner together, for both backends. The two arms therefore have deliberately different discovery models (IResourceInspectorBackend::DiscoversResources): OpenGL PUSHED registration macros; the shell's map is authoritative Vulkan PULLED registry snapshot, enriched from VulkanImageInfoRegistry, VulkanRootObjectRegistry, VulkanRawBufferRegistry and VMA's vmaGetHeapBudgets Three consequences worth keeping: * the shell keys its map on the IDENTITY, not the native handle. A Vulkan framebuffer registers native 0 (no VkFramebuffer under dynamic rendering, amendment (83)) and an arena-backed UBO has no native object at all, so several live resources legitimately share native 0. For the same reason Snapshot() decides liveness from the freelist rather than Native != 0, which reads like a sane liveness test and silently drops exactly those. * native ids widen to u64 through the whole inspector — a truncated VkImage is a plausible-looking wrong answer, the worst failure a diagnostic has. * previews and the async download engine stay GL-only and REFUSE with a reason; they are a PBO+fence pipeline feeding the GL ImGui backend. VulkanVertexBuffer/VulkanIndexBuffer now register in VulkanRootObjectRegistry under new diagnostics-only kinds: that is the handle -> object hop needed to answer "how big is this buffer?", which the RHI registry (handle -> native) cannot. Nothing binds through those entries. Surfaced through the panel (both currencies per row, a device-heap table, and the previews-unavailable note) and a new MCP tool olo_gpu_resources, which works on both backends. 2. olo_render_probe_pixel / olo_render_target_stats Both now read through RenderCommand::ReadTextureSubImage instead of raw glGetTextureSubImage. That needed RendererAPI::QueryTextureFormat -> RHI::TextureFormatInfo: the neutral RHI::Format where one matches, the NATIVE format enum always, plus a backend-neutral token, channel count and float/integer/depth flags. Keyed on the Vulkan format from the image-info registry, never the render graph's label (amendment (79)). It surfaced a cross-backend contract the facade signature hides: a DEPTH readback must name a depth destination format on BOTH backends. GL because only depth destinations lower to GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT (asking for GL_RED is GL_INVALID_OPERATION — a silently zero-filled buffer); Vulkan because its identity fast path only fires when the image really is VK_FORMAT_D32_SFLOAT, and this hardware backs Depth24Stencil8 with D32_SFLOAT_S8_UINT. EncodeReadbackTexel gained the D32Float case so one destination serves both. The refusal narrowed rather than vanished: 'afterPass' still refuses on Vulkan, because the mid-frame clone machinery is GL-native at both ends. Gating the argument instead of the tool matters — a whole-tool refusal reads to the next session as "this question is unanswerable here". 3. The capture fork olo_render_capture_target's glBackend ? CaptureTexturePng : facade fork is gone for every live target. CaptureTexturePng survives only for the afterPass clone. Tests * RHIResourceRegistryTest: three Snapshot() cases including the native == 0 one, which is what an obvious implementation drops. * FacadeReadbackParityTest (new, L1, GL-gated): reads the same texels through the facade AND through raw GL in ONE process and requires bit-equality. That is the check a cross-backend A/B cannot make, and it is the guard against this change quietly altering the GL arm's numbers. 23/23 pass. Docs: ADR 0011 amendment (88) + index row, rhi-abstraction-boundary.md §15, and the mcp-diagnostics-server.md tool tables. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…goes neutral Issue #810, past its three sections. With §1-3 landed the remaining Vulkan refusals turned out to be reachable, so the goal became "every MCP render tool answers on both backends". `grep "OpenGL-only" OloEditor/src/MCP/` now returns one hit and it is a schema DESCRIPTION of a real limitation (inspector texture previews), not a refusal. The afterPass mid-frame clone PassSnapshotBackend.h stated its native currency was deliberate, and that "no RHI::ResourceHandle can exist on this path" because native -> handle is not recoverable. That holds for a name somebody else minted. It does not hold for the scratch clone, which that code CREATES and can therefore mint WITH an identity from birth. Nobody had drawn the distinction because nothing yet wanted the identity, so a correct local observation had hardened into a wrong global rule that a whole tool family inherited a refusal from. The seam and its GL clone engine are deleted. RenderGraphPassSnapshot now allocates through a new RendererAPI::CreateMatchingTextureHandle and copies through CopyImageSubDataFull — one code path, both backends. CreateMatchingTextureHandle takes a SOURCE HANDLE, not an RHI::TextureDesc, and that shape is the decision. What the caller needs is a destination the backend's own image copy will accept. A neutral desc would translate the source's native format out to RHI::Format and back, and RHI::Format is deliberately narrower than what the render graph creates (a packed 11/11/10 target, an sRGB swapchain flavour). The failure would not be loud — glCopyImageSubData and vkCmdCopyImage both require format compatibility — so a near-miss yields a garbage clone the diagnostic then reports as fact. "Match this" lets each backend reproduce its OWN description and never translate. TextureFormatInfo gained MipLevels / ArrayLayers / Shape. Shape is load-bearing: a 64-slice volume and a 64-layer array report the same count and are not interchangeable, and the copy names a target type the driver checks. A draft inferred it from the count with a hardcoded isVolume=false, which would only ever have fired on the froxel-fog volumes. On Vulkan the copy records into the CURRENT frame's command buffer (which CopyImageSubDataRegion already does). A VulkanOneShot would execute BEFORE the still-recording frame (amendment (72)) and silently clone the PREVIOUS one — identical output on a static scene, wrong for every reason you would reach for the tool. The clone is owned by a new VulkanRawImageRegistry rather than a VulkanTexture2D, because that class builds from an engine ImageFormat and the whole point is not to translate. olo_render_validate's compare was CRASHING on master, not refusing It had no backend guard at all and resolved through Debug::NativeTextureIdForDiagnostics, which does static_cast<u32>(nativeHandle). On Vulkan that truncates a VkImage pointer to a NONZERO garbage u32 — so the zero-check passed — which then reached glGetTextureLevelParameteriv with no GL context. When sweeping for "which tools are gated on backend X", the dangerous entries are the ones the sweep does not match. Not split into its own commit despite reading like a ride-along fix: it reuses ResolveTargetHandle / PlanProbeRead from the previous commit AND the snapshot's new identity from this one, so a standalone commit would not build. olo_froxel_fog_probe and olo_cluster_grid_stats Cheap: ReadTextureSubImage already addresses a volume's z as a depth slice on both backends, and ReadBufferSubData is fully implemented on Vulkan. ReadStorageBufferStaged's GL staging copy STAYS on GL — its comment records that reading a GL_DYNAMIC_COPY buffer directly makes NVIDIA migrate it VIDEO->HOST and permanently slow every frame that samples it. Vulkan has no such heuristic. Two defects the live run caught that 6233 green tests did not * Five VUID-VkImageMemoryBarrier2-oldLayout-01211 per capture. The clone was created TRANSFER_SRC|TRANSFER_DST on the reasoning that "nothing samples a clone", but ReadTextureSubImage settles what it reads into SHADER_READ_ONLY_OPTIMAL, which is only legal with SAMPLED. Pixels were correct and tests green either way. Usage flags must satisfy the contract of every API the image is handed to, not just the author's intent for it. * The GL arm surfaced only ONE currency: rows came back backend "none" with no handle, because the registration macros are handed a raw name. That undercuts the amendment (77) constraint this work is built on. Fixed by matching (kind, native) against the registry snapshot — unique on GL, since each object family has its own name namespace — and leaving any collision alone rather than guessing. Also fixed: CaptureTargetThroughFacade named R32Float for depth, harmless while that path was Vulkan-only and broken the moment the capture fork folded GL onto it (GL_RED on a depth texture is GL_INVALID_OPERATION). Pinned by FacadeReadbackParity.DepthAttachmentReadsThroughADepthDestinationFormat. TextureTargetType gained Texture3D / TextureCubeMapArray (append-only). Verification: 97/97 on the RHI / readback / MCP-contract suites; live A/B on both backends with a pinned camera. Depth agrees to 1.2e-07..1.8e-07 (a couple of ULP at the D24 quantum, GL storing D24S8 against Vulkan's D32FS8), the froxel volume read is bit-identical, and the 1,329,162-texel bitwise depth compare reports 0 differing texels on both. afterPass rows match the live rows on both backends. Zero validation errors on the Vulkan run. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

RenderCommand::ReadTextureSubImage backend-neutral path consistently with the
function body.
- Around line 3838-3847: Update PlanProbeRead so ReportChannels is clamped to
ReadChannels after the destination format and read-channel count are determined,
ensuring ReportChannels never exceeds ReadChannels even when texture format

- Around line 5833-5873: Update the output schema in Handle_GpuResources to
declare the conditional note string property emitted when the tracked resource
list is empty, matching the existing note declarations used by other tools in
the file.
- Around line 5662-5677: Add a direct include for ResourceInspectorBackend.h in
McpToolsRender.cpp so the visible use of IResourceInspectorBackend::MemoryHeap
does not depend on GPUResourceInspector.h’s transitive inclusion.

to treat Texture3D resources as volumes: preserve their source depth in Vulkan
image metadata, create the clone with the matching depth, and copy each mip
using imageOffset.z and extent.depth rather than array-layer indices. Keep the
existing array-layer behavior for non-3D textures and ensure the full volume is
copied for every supported mip.
In `@OloEngine/src/Platform/OpenGL/OpenGLRendererAPI.cpp`:

… multisample refusal
Twelve review findings, all verified still-valid against the code before being
acted on. Two were confirmed with live measurements rather than by reading, and
two are fixed a layer below where the review pointed — noted individually.
Correctness
* Discovered buffers were never classified. ResourceTypeForDiscovered mapped
every RHI::ResourceKind::Buffer to VertexBuffer while its own comment
claimed the backend decided vertex/index/uniform. Measured on a live
Vulkan editor: GL reported IndexBuffer 12 / UniformBuffer 41 /
VertexBuffer 50, Vulkan reported VertexBuffer 188 and no index or uniform
rows at all. Now routed through ClassifyBufferTarget; re-measured after the
fix: IndexBuffer 33 + UniformBuffer 106 + VertexBuffer 46 + Other 3 = 188,
exactly the miscategorised set redistributed.
* A 3D image cannot be copied by array layer. VulkanRendererAPI's
CopyImageSubDataRegion passed srcZ/dstZ as baseArrayLayer with
extent.depth = 1, which for a VK_IMAGE_TYPE_3D image is a validation error
and a copy of the wrong subresource — for a 3D image baseArrayLayer must be
0 and the slice is the copy's z OFFSET. GL takes one z for both and sorts
it out itself, so only this backend was wrong.
Fixed in the BACKEND rather than in the snapshot's clone loop as the review
suggested: that is where the defect is, it needs no facade change, and it
fixes 3D copies for every caller. The barrier subresource ranges had the
same split. The caller half is fixed too — a volume's depth halves per mip
while an array's layer count does not, so the loop was addressing slices
that do not exist at the smaller mips of a mipped 3D target.
* Vulkan could not detect a multisampled source. RendererAPI.h promises
CreateMatchingTextureHandle returns the null handle for one and the GL arm
already did; the Vulkan arm had no sample count to check, so it would have
cloned single-sample and let vkCmdCopyImage reject the copy — an empty
clone reported as the pass's output. VulkanImageInfo gained Samples,
QueryTextureFormat now reports Texture2DMultisample, and the create refuses.
Rejecting in the allocator rather than in CaptureOne (as the review
suggested) puts it where the contract is written and where GL does it;
CaptureOne's existing shape check now refuses it as well.
* ReportChannels could exceed ReadChannels. The compaction in
ReadRectFloatsThroughFacade indexes raw[t * ReadChannels + c] for
c < ReportChannels, so a format reporting 0 channels (seed defaults to 4,
the <= 1 branch reads one) walks off the readback buffer. No mapped format
reports 0 today, so this is latent; the clamp enforces the invariant the
loop already assumes.
* nativeTarget 0 meant UniformBuffer. VulkanRootObjectKind::UniformBuffer is
0 and DiscoveredResource::NativeTarget defaults to 0, so every raw buffer
and every size-unknown buffer classified and displayed as
"UniformBuffer (frame arena)". The encoding is biased by one so 0 stays
"nothing described this buffer"; those rows now group as Other and read
"Buffer (unclassified)".
Hygiene
* FacadeReadbackParityTest left GL_PACK_ALIGNMENT at 1. The suite shares one
GL context, so that is process-global state leaking into every later GPU
test — and asserting the error before restoring meant an early ASSERT
return skipped the restore entirely. Both raw reads go through one helper
that saves, reads, captures the error, restores, and returns the error.
* Dead ProbeFormat / DescribeProbeFormat removed (no callers since the probe
moved to the facade), along with the last GL-enum format table in that area.
* The unreachable second non-OpenGL refusal in ReadStorageBufferStaged
removed — it sat after the Vulkan arm's early return and contradicted it.
* One DrainGLErrors, not two. The anonymous-namespace copy in
OpenGLRendererAPI.cpp predates this work and duplicated Utils::
DrainGLErrors; two same-named helpers in one TU is a shadowing trap. NOTE:
this changes the drain's iteration cap from 32 to 64 on two pre-existing
call sites — a guard both implementations describe as unreachable, so
nothing observable moves, but it is a real difference and not a silent one.
* Stale comments: the froxel probe still advertised "GL readback",
"glGetTextureSubImage" and "the sanctioned use of the diagnostics hatch",
and olo_render_probe_pixel's section header still said "GL readback". All
describe the facade path now.
* olo_gpu_resources' OutputSchema now declares the conditional `note` it
emits (16 of the other 17 note-emitting tools already did).
* McpToolsRender.cpp includes ResourceInspectorBackend.h directly rather than
leaning on GPUResourceInspector.h's transitive include for its visible use
of IResourceInspectorBackend::MemoryHeap.
Verification: 6235 passed / 0 failed / 22 skipped on the fast subset; 76/76 on
the RHI, readback and MCP-contract suites. Live Vulkan re-measurement of the
buffer classification above, with zero validation errors.

RHI/Vulkan: diagnostic parity — every MCP render tool now answers on Vulkan
Closes #810.
Follow-up to #691 / #801. The §1.6 relocation made
Renderer/Debug/backend-neutralin structure; it did not give Vulkan an equivalent answer for what the GL tools
report. This closes the issue's three sections and then goes past them: after the
first three landed, the remaining Vulkan refusals turned out to be reachable too, so
the goal became no MCP render tool refuses on Vulkan.
grep "OpenGL-only" OloEditor/src/MCP/now returns exactly one hit, and it is aschema description recording a real feature limitation (inspector texture
previews), not a refusal.
Recorded as ADR 0011 amendment (88); narrative in
docs/agent-rules/rhi-abstraction-boundary.md§15.1.
GPUResourceInspectorhas a Vulkan arm (issue §1)Teaching ~15 Vulkan constructors to call
OLO_GPU_REGISTER_*would duplicatebookkeeping the engine already does. Every backend resource registers with
RHI::ResourceRegistryat creation, and that registry is the one place holdingidentity + native + kind + owner together — so it grew a

framebuffer registers native
0(noVkFramebufferunder dynamic rendering,amendment (83)) and an arena-backed UBO has no native object at all, so several
live resources legitimately share native 0 — keying on it collapses them into one
row and under-reports with no error. Same reason
Snapshot()decides liveness fromthe freelist, not from
Native != 0, which reads like a sane liveness test.u64through the whole inspector. A truncatedVkImageis aplausible-looking wrong answer.

olo_gpu_resources, on bothbackends.
VulkanVertexBuffer/VulkanIndexBuffernow register inVulkanRootObjectRegistryunder new diagnostics-only kinds — the handle → object hop that answers "how big
is this buffer?", which the RHI registry (handle → native) cannot. Nothing binds
through them.
2.
olo_render_probe_pixel/olo_render_target_stats(issue §2)Both read through
RenderCommand::ReadTextureSubImage. That neededRendererAPI::QueryTextureFormat→RHI::TextureFormatInfo: the neutralRHI::Formatwhere one matches, the native format enum always, plus abackend-neutral token, channel count, mip/layer counts, shape, and
float/integer/depth flags. Keyed on the Vulkan format from the image-info registry,
never the graph's label — amendment (79).
The trap it surfaced, and the one regression this PR introduced and then caught.
A depth readback must name a depth destination format on both backends: GL
because only those lower to
GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT(asking forGL_REDon a depthtexture is
GL_INVALID_OPERATION), Vulkan because its identity fast path only fireswhen the image really is
VK_FORMAT_D32_SFLOATwhile this hardware backsDepth24Stencil8withD32_SFLOAT_S8_UINT.EncodeReadbackTexelgained aD32Floatcase so one destination serves both.CaptureTargetThroughFacadewas already namingR32Floatfor depth — harmless whilethat path was Vulkan-only, and broken the moment §3 routed GL through it. Caught on a
self-review of the diff, fixed, and pinned by
FacadeReadbackParity.DepthAttachmentReadsThroughADepthDestinationFormat.3. The capture fork is retired (issue §3)
olo_render_capture_target'sglBackend ? CaptureTexturePng : facadefork is gone.One path, both backends, live target or mid-frame clone.
4. Beyond the issue: the last four refusals
afterPass(the mid-frame snapshot clone).PassSnapshotBackend.hstated itsnative currency was deliberate and that "no
RHI::ResourceHandlecan exist on thispath", because
native -> handleis not recoverable. True for a name somebody elseminted — not for the scratch clone, which that code creates and can therefore
mint with an identity from birth. Nobody had drawn the distinction because nothing
yet wanted the identity, so a correct local observation had hardened into a wrong
global rule that a whole tool family inherited a refusal from.
The seam and its GL clone engine are deleted. The snapshot now allocates through
a new
RendererAPI::CreateMatchingTextureHandleand copies throughCopyImageSubDataFull.CreateMatchingTextureHandletakes a source handle, not anRHI::TextureDesc,and that shape is the decision worth reviewing. A neutral desc would translate the
source's native format out to
RHI::Formatand back, andRHI::Formatisdeliberately narrower than what the render graph creates (a packed 11/11/10 target,
an sRGB swapchain flavour). The failure is not loud:
glCopyImageSubDataandvkCmdCopyImageboth require format compatibility, so a near-miss yields a garbageclone the diagnostic reports as fact. "Match this" lets each backend reproduce its
own description and never translate.
TextureFormatInfogrewShapefor the same reason: a 64-slice volume and a64-layer array report the same layer count and are not interchangeable. (A draft
inferred it from the count with a hardcoded
isVolume = false— a bug that wouldonly ever fire on the froxel-fog volumes.)
On Vulkan the copy records into the current frame's command buffer, which is what
makes "as of that pass" true. A
VulkanOneShotwould execute before thestill-recording frame (amendment (72)) and silently clone the previous one —
identical output on a static scene, wrong for every reason you would reach for the
tool. The clone is owned by a new
VulkanRawImageRegistryrather than aVulkanTexture2D, because that class builds from an engineImageFormatand thewhole point is not to translate.
olo_render_validate'scomparewas not refusing — it was crashing, on master.It had no backend guard and resolved through
Debug::NativeTextureIdForDiagnostics,which does
static_cast<u32>(nativeHandle). On Vulkan that truncates aVkImagepointer to a nonzero garbage
u32— so the zero-check passed — which then reachedglGetTextureLevelParameterivwith no GL context. Fixed by the same identity resolve.It is not a separate commit, though it reads like a ride-along fix: the fix reuses
ResolveTargetHandle/PlanProbeReadfrom §2 and the snapshot's new identity from§4, so a standalone commit would not build. It is called out in the commit message
instead.
olo_froxel_fog_probeandolo_cluster_grid_statswere cheap:ReadTextureSubImagealready addresses a volume's z as a depth slice on bothbackends, and
ReadBufferSubDatais fully implemented on Vulkan. One thing keptrather than simplified —
ReadStorageBufferStaged's GL staging copy stays on GL: itscomment records that reading a
GL_DYNAMIC_COPYbuffer directly makes NVIDIA migrateit VIDEO→HOST and permanently slow every frame that samples it. Vulkan has no such
heuristic and takes the facade path.

tracked149 vs 1284 is the two discovery models, not a leak:GL counts only macro-registered objects, Vulkan enumerates every registry entry.

Everything that should match does, including a bit-identical froxel volume read and
a 1,329,162-texel bitwise depth compare with 0 differing texels. The

Two defects the live run caught that the tests did not

ReadTextureSubImagesettles what it reads intoSHADER_READ_ONLY_OPTIMAL, which is only legal withSAMPLED. Pixels were correctand tests green either way. Usage flags have to satisfy the contract of every API
the image is handed to, not just the author's intent for it. Fixed; the Vulkan run
now logs zero validation errors and zero error lines.
"backend": "none"withno handle, because the registration macros are handed a raw name. That undercuts the
amendment (77) constraint this PR is built on. Fixed by matching (kind, native)
against the registry snapshot — unique on GL, since each object family has its own
name namespace — and leaving any collision alone rather than guessing.
A difference deliberately NOT attributed to this change
SceneColorchannel-0 max read 0.756 (GL) vs 0.623 (Vulkan). Before calling thatanything, the noise floor was measured: five consecutive reads on the same backend
spanned 0.693–0.794. The cross-backend difference sits inside frame-to-frame noise
on an animated scene. Depth is the discriminating signal here because the geometry is
static — and depth agrees to seven decimals.
Observed, not caused — worth a follow-up
olo_render_validatereportsok: falseon Vulkan with 15consumedButUnbackedresources (the post-process chain: Bloom mips, FXAA, ToneMap, SceneColor). That is
outside this change's surface — only the
comparepath was touched — and it isnewly visible precisely because the tool used to crash on Vulkan. Hazard count is 0
on both backends.
Filed as #890, and it turned out to be a false positive:
SceneColoris in thelist while
olo_render_capture_targetreturns real HDR pixels for it in the samesession.
IsUnbackedConsumedtests a GL-nativeu32id that is 0 for every Vulkanresource by design, so it means "no 32-bit GL name", not "unbacked".
#890 was then widened to the whole defect class, which includes debt this PR leaves
behind and a little it adds:
gl*display fields that print a truncatedVkImageas a "texture id" on Vulkan(
olo_render_graph_topology_export,olo_render_transient_plan,olo_material_get)— plus
RenderGraphPassSnapshot::Result'sNativeSourceId/NativeCloneId, whichthis PR introduces. They are diagnostic-only and inert, but they are the same
currency mistake and should be
u64hex namednativeHandle, matching whatolo_gpu_resourcesalready emits here;ResolveTargetTexture, which after this PR has only two reporting callers but stillreturns a truncated id under a name that reads like "the texture you can use". The
next caller to hand that to GL re-creates the crash this PR fixed.
Both were left out of this PR deliberately: they are inert today, and folding a rename
of shipped MCP output-schema fields into an already-large change would obscure the parts
that need review.
