swung0x48 faf0a1f902 [MG_Backend, MG_IntegrationTest, docs] (P7): an orphaned XFB capture target keeps its varyings
P3b/P4b espryt D1 slice 1, landing under the P7 program (notes/p7/PLAN-PH-P34B-P7.md
§1.2 row "XFB scatter", §3 wave 2-D).

ScatterCapturedRecords is a read-modify-write of the capture destination's pre-capture
bytes - a gl_SkipComponents hole has to come back holding whatever the application left
there - and under a transport those bytes are the server's staged shadow rather than a
frontend MappedData(). The split arm read a null shadow as "this target has no
pre-capture bytes, discard it". A null shadow is not an error: MGPResourceDesc's
HasDefinedContent == 0 is the store the application ORPHANED with glBufferData(size,
NULL), and Managers.cpp's own M-3 comment says every byte it has not staged since is
undefined by its own declaration. So the continue threw a whole capture away for the
ordinary streaming idiom (orphan, upload part of it, capture into it), leaving the
application's buffer holding its pre-draw bytes under GL_NO_ERROR. The partly uploaded
shape did not even reach the continue: it has a shadow, so it asked RequireStagedCoverage
for the whole bound range and died on Fatal{StageSnapshotTooNarrow,
"xfb_scatter_pre_capture"}.

Monolith has always been right here and is right by construction: `Vector<Uint8>
staged(rangeBytes)` is value-initialised, so scattering over an unreadable source scatters
over zeroes and uploads them, which is byte for byte what a fresh MappedData() hands back.
The split arm now skips only the Memcpy, never the target. Discard-with-log is kept for
splitResource == nullptr alone, which really is impossible and has no backendId to upload
into either. RequireStagedCoverage is guarded by ResourceContentIsDeclared, exactly as
Managers.cpp's pool-reuse ladder guards its own whole-store MGL_SERVER_STAGED_REQUIRE: a
declared store still Fatals on a coverage gap, an orphaned one does not.

ResourceContentIsDeclared moves out of Managers.cpp's anonymous namespace to namespace
scope beside RequireStagedCoverage and is declared in Managers.h. The two callers must not
be able to answer "did the application declare these bytes" differently. Both live inside
#if MOBILEGL_BUILD_DISAGGREGATED, so the pull build compiles neither.

prefix. With the fix reverted the six split entries go red - the partial-upload three on
Fatal{StageSnapshotTooNarrow, "xfb_scatter_pre_capture"} ([0, 696) of a buffer whose
staged coverage does not include it), the whole-orphan three on a captured varying that is
still zero - while the two ambient monolith entries pass, which is what makes it a
transport fact. Details and the lane numbers in docs/Disaggregated/notes/p34b/espryt-d1.md.

The narrow filter is deliberate: the rest of XfbAfterClipDistanceScenario is a DirectVulkan
allocation-pattern regression that has never run under a transport, and it joins the arms
in slice 2 once the writeback event it posts is sliced.
