[Fix] (scripts): attribute G7 trip over the failing assertion BLOCKS - gtest prints the field name among the compared expressions, so a per-line match calls a real trip inconclusive

- VulkanRenderer::LookupVaoDrawMemo's legacy arm read MG_Config::Features.PipeHandleAbaControl
  a fourth time, bypassing the one-question accessor MagmaPipeAbaControlDefeatsIdentity that
  55d2af9b's own message says all the control's sites go through. It could never be false
  there: the control's early return fires ahead of BOTH arms, so a run that reaches the legacy
  compare has the knob off. The compare is unconditional again, with a note saying where the
  question is answered and to route through the accessor if that early return is ever narrowed
  - which is the trap the dead line was, since narrowing it would have silently restored D18's
  retired semantics at this one site.
- HandleRecycleScenario's vertex-array case still said "BOTH the VAO and the buffer are
  recycled here so that a key built out of raw addresses matches", which the body has
  contradicted since 55d2af9b: both buffers are created before the ABA window and neither is
  deleted inside it, deliberately, so that no buffer traffic moves VkBufferManager's
  slice-epoch counter inside the window. Only the VAO is recycled, and only its GL name - the
  heap block is not handed back, which is why the knob rather than the allocator constructs the
  AbaControl arms' collision.

+// Espryt 0b, the first Track H slice: the DENSE, {slot, gen}-keyed twin table that replaces
+// StateBackendObjectRegistry's UnorderedMap<StateObject*, Entry>.
+//
+// What changes, and why each of them is the point:
+//
+//  * The KEY stops being a frontend heap address. It is MGPipeHandle{Slot, Gen}, minted by the
+//    client's MGPipeSlotAllocator off the frontend object's GetLifetimeId(). A recycled heap
+//    address cannot reproduce a handle, so the weak_ptr the registry carried per entry purely
+//    to catch that (its Entry::stateRef, used as an IDENTITY test) stops being an identity
+//    mechanism, and OwnerEquals / TwinLookupMemo x3 / UnitSamplerLookupMemo's owner compare all
+//    lose their reason to exist.
+//  * The lookup stops being a hash probe into an open-addressed map and becomes one bounds
+//    check plus one array index, so a returned BackendPtr* is NOT invalidated by the next Find
+//    on the table. That kills the hazard Managers.h documents at length, and with it the
+//    by-value copy plus second Find that SyncTextureObjectToBackend paid to survive it.
+//  * Slots are dense per kind, which is what lets the server side (ARCHITECTURE.md 10.1,
+//    MG_Remote/Server/PipeObjectTables) be an array rather than an object graph.
+//
+// Death is ANNOUNCED, and that is what lets this table have no garbage collector - the
+// deliverable ROADMAP.md:18 spells "GC" in and the one D13 makes a precondition of the switch-
+// over. All six re-keyed object classes raise MG_State::GLState::NotifyStateObjectDestroyed()
+// from their destructor (BufferBackendOps' shape, one entry point for six kinds), the backend
+// consumes it in Managers.cpp, and OnFrontendObjectDestroyed() below drops the twin in EVERY
+// table of the kind and returns the slot, at the moment the frontend object's last SharedPtr
+// goes. So:
+//   * there is NO draw-path tick, NO creation tick and NO sweep of any kind on this arm. The
+//     seven CollectGarbageIfNeeded call sites in DirectGLES.cpp drive the LEGACY registry only;
+//   * a twin, and the driver storage it owns, is freed when the application lets go of the
+//     object rather than up to 64 creations or 1024 draw ticks later. That is what
+//     Managers.h's "dead gigabytes" note asked for.
+//
+// EVERY HOLDER OF THE KIND, not one. Two live tables of one kind is a real configuration - the
+// ScopedDirectGLESTextureBindings fixture keeps a by-value copy of the Texture registry for the
+// length of a test, and a context reset does the same in reverse - and the slot allocator
+// erases its lifetimeId -> slot mapping on Free, so a notice delivered to one holder and
+// resolved again by the next would find nothing to resolve. Every table therefore links itself
+// into a per-table-type list at construction and out at destruction, and one notice resolves
+// the handle ONCE, drops the twin in each holder BY HANDLE, and frees the slot once, last. No
+// holder can be left naming a live entry for a dead object, and there is nothing a sweep could
+// still find. (The list is per table TYPE; the kind is the type's template parameter, and each
+// of the six kinds has exactly one table type in this backend. Magma's subsystem-4 table mints
+// out of its own per-renderer allocator, not MGPipeSlots(), so it is not a holder here.)
+//
+// The weak_ptr per entry survives for exactly one reason: ForEachLive() hands the callee a
+// STRONG reference to the frontend object, which the one direct-iteration site
+// (ScopedDetachedTextureFramebufferAttachments) needs. It is never an identity test - that is
+// what Gen is for - and it is never read to decide whether an entry is dead: a destructor that
+// runs after exit() has begun has its notice dropped by InProcessTeardown(), and that twin is
+// then a DELIBERATE leak (the process is exiting, the driver reclaims the object, and a twin
+// destructor must not call into a driver that may already be unloaded), not something to be
+// collected later.
+//
+// P3+ DEBT, recorded rather than hidden: this header is under MG_Backend/ and it MINTS
+// handles (MGPipeSlots().Acquire below) off a frontend SharedPtr's GetLifetimeId().
+// MGPipeHandles.h:13-16 says a handle is minted by the CLIENT and never by the server, and
+// under a real split neither the frontend object nor its lifetime id exists on this side of
+// the wire. This is monolith glue: the minting and the lifetimeId -> handle resolution both
+// belong on the client, and the backend should receive the handle in the verb payload. It is
+// NOT part of "Track H done" and check_include_closure.py does not probe MG_Backend headers,

+    // WHAT IT DEFEATS, AND WHY IT IS SPELLED AS "REPLACE THE IDENTITY WITH A CONSTANT"

+    //

+    // the freed heap block and so reproduces the key. Measured, it does not: in
+    // HandleRecycleScenario the GL NAMES come back (glGen* hands the deleted name straight
+    // out) but the C++ heap blocks do not - a VertexArrayObject is 3920 bytes, too large for
+    // glibc's tcache, so its chunk goes to the unsorted bin and is split by the very next
+    // allocation the replacement path makes. Four create/delete cycles in one run produced
+    // four distinct addresses, ~1 MiB apart. With no address reuse there is nothing for
+    // "hash the address" to collide with: the replacement hashes differently, indexes a
+    // different memo slot, and inherits nothing - so the arm asserted stale pixels and saw
+    // fresh ones, which is a FAILING negative control that had stopped controlling anything.
+    //
+    // So the control no longer asks the allocator for the collision; it manufactures it. On
+    // both arms the object identity is replaced by a constant, which is the strongest form of
+    // "the allocator handed the block back" and is deterministic. That covers strictly more
+    // than D18's spelling, and in particular it reaches the arm P2 SHIPS: on the handle arm
+    // the constant defeats the OBJECT IDENTITY THAT SELECTS THE SLOT - the key the handle arm
+    // ships - so the replacement VAO is handed the dead one's memo entry and its content hash.
+    // Defeating only the retired lifetime-id/address guards would leave that key untested,

+    //     OnFrameBoundary's age sweep (kSweepInterval 256, kRetireAgeBoundaries 1024, below);
+    //   * HandleRecycleScenario issues five frame boundaries, so the free list is empty when
+    //     the replacement VAO acquires and it gets a BRAND-NEW slot at Gen 1 (measured:
+    //     redVao slot=2 gen=1, greenVao slot=3 gen=1). The knob-off FRESH verdict there is
+    //     decided by the SLOT alone, and deleting the ++Gen below leaves all four arms green;
+    //   * a genuine slot REUSE needs >= 1024 idle boundaries after the dead object's last
+    //     draw, which necessarily puts the two draws in different frames - and the only memo
+    //     that carries a GPU slice rather than a layout, ResolvedVertexBindings, declines
+    //     across frames by design. The two requirements are mutually exclusive, so the
+    //     generation is out of reach of any same-frame pixel reproducer for this memo.
+    //
+    // The generation is covered where it IS expressible, over this mint and the claim rule

+    //      never match a live object even if the allocator hands back the same heap address
+    //      (the ABA HandleRecycleScenario reproduces);

+    //      no probe and no mix;
+    //   3. NO CAPACITY CLIFF. A live object's handle never changes while the object is being
+    //      drawn, whatever the working set size.
+    //
+    // Property 3 is why this is not the fixed 2-way set-associative LRU the previous round
+    // shipped. That structure evicted a LIVE object once the working set passed its capacity,
+    // and every consumer memo keyed on the handle died with it: measured on a verbatim
+    // transcription, 54% of uses lost their handle at 2500 live VAOs against 2048 entries, and
+    // 20% at 1024 live VAOs once the lifetime ids are sparse (an app that creates and destroys
+    // VAOs, which is the Minecraft chunk shape this exists for). Two of the three memos it
+    // fed - the content-hash memo and the resolved-state memo - had NO capacity before this
+    // package: they were unbounded mutable fields on VertexArrayObject. Introducing eviction
+    // there turns one ComputeHash per VAO reconfiguration into one per DRAW, and, once the
+    // buffer table thrashes too, makes the vertex-input content hash a per-draw value that
+    // inserts a fresh heap-allocated BackendVertexInputState into an unbounded map on every
+    // draw. That is a worse leak than the one it was introduced to avoid.
+    //
+    // So: grow on demand, and reclaim by AGE instead of by capacity.
+    //
+    //   * Acquire hits an UnorderedMap<lifetimeId, slotIndex>, in front of which sits a
+    //     one-entry memo. Every re-keyed site in a draw asks about the SAME VAO, so the memo
+    //     turns the five-or-six acquisitions a draw makes into one map probe plus five Uint64
+    //     compares - less than the address multiply plus two-way probe the pre-handle arm ran.
+    //   * OnFrameBoundary retires slots whose object has not been drawn for
+    //     kRetireAgeBoundaries boundaries and returns them to a free list, so the table's
+    //     footprint tracks the LIVE DRAWN working set, not objects ever created. That is the
+    //     property MG_Impl/Pipe/SlotAllocator cannot have here: nothing in P2 can call its
+    //     Free (the tracker emits no object-class state, BufferBackendOps::OnDestroy is handed
+    //     a BackendBufferResource rather than the BufferObject, and VertexArrayObject has no
+    //     death hook at all - adding one is D13's explicit-destroy work, which covers Espryt's
+    //     six kinds, not VertexElementsCso), so an allocator here would grow by one SlotState
+    //     plus one map node per object EVER created, for the life of the process, on a
+    //     platform with an LMK. Age-based reclamation is the stand-in for the death
+    //     notification, and it is exactly as ABA-proof, because reuse bumps Gen.
+    //   * A retire costs at most one memo recompute if the object is drawn again - the same

+# matching nothing in kBenchCases selected no case, printed only the header row, and still exited
+# 0. DriverBench.c now refuses an unknown case name (exit 2), which closes it at the source - but
+# the entry must be able to go red for the reason it exists WITHOUT depending on that check
+# staying in the binary, so each entry also requires the case's own output row to appear.
+#
+# The regex is what a healthy run of that case prints and nothing else does: the case name at the
+# start of a line, then the frames / ops-per-frame / median-ms / ns-per-op / fps columns
+# (run_case()). A rename, a drop from kBenchCases, a boot_egl() failure or
+# a crash part-way through the case all remove that row and turn the entry red.

+// What the two-level shader translation memo is worth, measured on the workload that
+// motivated it: the KHR-GL33.texture_swizzle.smoke_* shape, where one case builds 2592
+// programs out of a handful of distinct sources.
+//
+// Four pairs of cases, each Off/On:
+//
+//   ProgramLink      - the whole glCompileShader + glLinkProgram path for one program, with
+//                      FRESH SHADER OBJECTS every iteration. This is the CTS shape exactly,
+//                      and it is the headline case now. It used to be the PESSIMISTIC one:
+//                      a hit still paid for both glslang parses, because the parse happens
+//                      at glCompileShader - a different entry point from the one L1
+//                      memoizes - and fresh shader objects meant ShaderCompileAdoptionMap
+//                      could not hand the earlier parse over either. L1c is what closed
+//                      that: the compile half of the memo recognises each stage's source
+//                      and publishes its verdict without parsing, so on a hit this case now
+//                      constructs no glslang object at all.
+//
+//   SharedShaderLink - the same program population with the shader objects KEPT ALIVE, so
+//                      the parses happen once outside the measured loop whatever the cache
+//                      does. That makes it the CONTROL for L1c rather than a target: its
+//                      numbers should not move, and if they do, L1c has added cost to a
+//                      path it was supposed to leave alone.
+//
+//   DeferredParseLink - the shape where L1c could LOSE: a constant vertex source (which
+//                      hits L1c and therefore skips its parse) against a fresh fragment
+//                      source every iteration (which makes the PROGRAM key miss, so the
+//                      skipped parse has to happen inside the link after all). Same parse
+//                      count either way, so the pair should land within noise; see its own
+//                      header below.
+//
+//   EsslTranspile    - the DirectGLES backend segment: the SPIR-V pass chain plus
+//                      SPIRV-Cross. Runs the driver-INDEPENDENT half of the real chain (the
+//                      passes SyncToBackend runs unconditionally, plus the two stage-gated
+//                      ones a fragment module reaches) so the miss path costs what
+//                      production costs; the capability-gated passes need a live ES driver
+//                      and are not reachable from a benchmark process.
+//
+// Every On case runs with a warm cache: the first iteration misses and every one after it
+// hits, which is exactly the steady state of a 2592-program smoke case.

+// The render-state CSO cache (ARCHITECTURE.md 4.5.2 / 5.3, P2 brief D7).
+//
+// THE LOOKUP, and the first step is the whole point:
+//   1. m_pipelineStateVersion (widened) did not move -> reuse the last handle. ZERO hashing,
+//      zero probing, and nothing is emitted unless m_version also moved. That is the steady
+//      state of every frame, and it is why the tracker asks the cache at all only when the
+//      dirty walk says the pipeline version moved.
+//   2. moved -> hash the 396 pipeline bytes, probe, and on a hit CONFIRM WITH A MEMCMP
+//      before reusing the handle. ARCHITECTURE.md 4.1 says content addressing on an
+//      xxHash; a bare 64-bit equality would let a collision alias two different render
+//      states onto one CSO, which is silent wrong pixels with no gate that can see it.
+//      Mesa's cso_cache memcmps for the same reason. The memcmp only ever runs on a
+//      pipeline-version change, i.e. never in the steady state.
+//   3. miss -> mint a slot, emit create_render_state with every pipeline chunk, then bind.
+//
+// CAPACITY 64 (ROADMAP.md P2). 64 x (8 + 8 + 396 + 8) = about 26 KB per context. ROADMAP.md
+// open question 4 says 64 is provisional and the counters retune it at P13; this ships 64
+// and publishes the mint / bind / evict counters that retune reads.
+//
+// THE NEGATIVE CONTROL. kMGPipeBehaviourNoCsoContentAddressing (bit 63 of the runtime
+// MOBILEGL_PIPE_PUSH bitmask) turns off the PROBE and the handle reuse, not the records:
+// every pipeline-version change then mints a fresh CSO, binds it and evicts, which is
+// precisely "whole-block content addressing" and reproduces the regression
+// RenderState.h records. It is what separates "push is slower" from "the CSO design is
+// slower", and CsoContentAddressingScenario (package E) is the always-on ctest that stops
+// the switch from rotting.
+//
+// Header-only for the same ownership reason as Tracker.h: the root CMakeLists.txt that

+//   * the nine MGPipeEmitResource* bodies, declared in MG_Pipe/PipeMutation.h so that
+//     MG_State sees a declaration and never this file (the same layering PipeMutation.h
+//     already has for MGP_NOTE_MUTATION: declare in MG_Pipe, define in MG_Impl);
+//   * the MGPSubData range splitter, because one record's box caps the destination at a

+//
+// This is the carrier for the ~175 lines of debounce that move off the backends in P3b and
+// P4b - Espryt's UnitBindingsSnapshot / CaptureUnitBindings / UnitBindingsUnchanged and
+// Magma's equivalents all answer "is this set the same set as last time", and every one of

+// real consumer (SetVertexAttribDefaults) so the shape is pinned by a test rather than by a
+// plan; the other six slots exist, are unit-tested, and are wired by the phase that moves
+// the set they name. P3a wires the second, SetVertexBuffers.
+//
+// A WIRED SLOT PUTS A REQUIREMENT ON ITS HASH, and SetVertexBuffers is where that first
+// bites: the hash has to cover EVERY input the record carries, not only the set. Its
+// baseInstance is DRAW state and moves without the buffer set moving, so a hash over the
+// entries alone would suppress a record whose one changed field is the fetch shift and the
+// server would keep the previous one. MG_Impl/Pipe/VertexInputEmit.h's
+// MGPipeVertexBufferSetContentHash mixes Start, Count and BaseInstance in for exactly that
+// reason, and VertexInputEmit's base-instance pair is the test that says so.

+// rather than a plan, with their fields going through the residual fill until P3b/P4a/P4b.
+//
+// WHY EVERY SHUTTER OVER-FIRES. A bit that fires too often costs one extra push. A bit
+// that fires too rarely renders stale, and ARCHITECTURE.md 13.2 names that as the
+// dangerous direction precisely because the P1 verify comparator cannot see it for
+// object-class state (it compares those by identity only). So each shutter below is
+// deliberately coarser than the state it guards - five bits share one buffer aggregate,
+// the framebuffer bit fires on any attachment write anywhere - and the narrowing is P3's
+// work, paid for with the fire rates this file publishes.
+//
+// NO TIMER LIVES HERE. ROADMAP.md forbids committing hot-path instrumentation; the
+// absolute ns/draw comes from DriverBench, which times whole frames from outside the
+// library (P2 brief D17). The only counting is the per-bit fire tally, behind
+// PipeStats::Enabled() like every other counting site in the tree.
+//
+// HEADER-ONLY, and that is an ownership decision rather than a design one: the P2 brief
+// asks for Tracker.{h,cpp}, but the root CMakeLists.txt that would have to name a new .cpp
+// belongs to package A and is frozen behind the p2/contract tag. Everything here is
+// included by exactly one translation unit in the library (MG_Impl/Pipe/PipeFill.cpp) plus
+// the unit tests, so inline costs nothing. Splitting it back out is one list(APPEND) line.

+// The CLIENT side of P3a's vertex-input family (brief D-G, D-H, D-I): the bound VAO's
+// format as create/bind_vertex_elements, its buffers as set_vertex_buffers with an explicit
+// baseInstance, and its element binding as set_index_buffer.
+//
+// UNLIKE THE RESOURCE FAMILY, these three emit at the VALIDATE POINT, from
+// MGPipeValidateForVerb's step 3 in the fixed order elements -> buffers -> index. That is
+// the ordinary rule (ARCHITECTURE.md 5.1); the resource family is the one exception to it.
+//
+// THE CSO IS IDENTITY-ADDRESSED, NOT CONTENT-ADDRESSED (D-G1, a recorded deviation from
+// ARCHITECTURE.md's 1024-entry content-addressed scheme). One handle per frontend
+// VertexArrayObject, minted off its lifetime id, and create_vertex_elements is RE-ISSUED on
+// the same handle whenever the configuration moves - legal, because MGPipeHandle::Gen
+// increments only on slot reuse and never on a respecify. Espryt has no vertex-elements CSO
+// to share: its twin owns one driver VAO name plus 64 scratch buffer ids, which two frontend
+// VAOs cannot share, so content addressing would be strictly slower on the only backend this
+// phase touches. P7 adds the hash-probe-memcmp layer above these same three calls when
+// Magma's VertexInputStateFactory takes the CSO over.
+//
+// WHAT THE UNIT GATE READS. G6 is "the emitted blob + set + index record reproduce exactly
+// what the backend's VAO twin reads from the frontend today, field by field, for all 32
+// slots", and G7 is a scripted control that stops the conversion copying ONE field and
+// expects the suite to go red NAMING it. So the conversion is a pure function per field
+// (MGPipeBuildVertexAttribWire / MGPipeBuildVertexBindingPointWire) and the staging buffers
+// the emitter builds into are readable afterwards - the emitter passes m_blob and m_entries
+// straight to the applier, so "what was emitted" costs no copy at all.
+//
