Round-2 audit F4: on non-RT adapters (the dev 760M) SSGI's SDF path degraded every transformed instance to flat gray and the SW radiance cache was light-source-only — colored bounce structurally impossible. Fixed in this PR: - instance data now carries WORLD-space AABBs alongside the object- space ones (all four shader layout mirrors updated). The SDF broad- phase compares its world-space clipmap hits against the world boxes — the old object-space comparison only ever matched assets whose vertices were already in world space (Sponza). HW paths keep using the object-space boxes with hit.world_to_object, unchanged. - broad-phase picks the SMALLEST containing box, not the first: the shooter's +/-140 m terrain proxy otherwise swallowed every hit (walls and trees included) and its mostly-empty side cards actively darkened the bounce. - the SW WSRC bake gains a ground-bounce term for below-horizon octels (scene-average instance albedo x sun-shadowed irradiance + half sky) — it previously returned ~black for every downward miss ray, dropping the strongest real bounce source entirely. Measured honesty (GI pose A/B, sky-normalized, settled): - ship intensity 1.0: deltas within noise (<=1%), hue unchanged - intensity 4.0: +1.4-2.1% luma in shaded receivers, hue still unchanged (G/R 0.9456 vs 0.9460) The data path is now correct, but visible colored bounce on the SW tier remains capped downstream (probe resolve magnitude, composite AO multiply on exactly the shaded receivers, radius/hit-rate at the receivers). EN-023 stays open pointing at the resolve/integration stage; decision D2-B (bank the ~1.6 ms on iGPU) remains sensible until that lands. Suite green (99 lib + 7 golden). Boot-smoked at 4K; A/B runs above were on the live game.

Stacked on #75. Implements the correctness half of EN-023 with honest measurements attached.
What was broken (audit F4)
On non-RT adapters the SDF probe trace compared world-space clipmap hits against object-space card AABBs — only identity-transform assets (Sponza) ever matched, so every one of the shooter's 267 transformed GI proxies fell through to the flat-gray analytic fallback. Separately, the software radiance-cache bake was light-source-only: downward miss rays returned ~black, i.e. no ground bounce at all.
Fixes
hit.world_to_object, unchanged.Measured honesty (GI pose A/B on the live game, sky-normalized, settled)
The data path is now structurally correct, but visible colored bounce on the SW tier is capped downstream — probe resolve magnitude, the composite's AO multiply landing on exactly the shaded receivers, and hit-rate/radius at the receivers. EN-023 stays open, now pointed at the resolve/integration stage with this data. Decision D2-B (disable SSGI on iGPU and bank ~1.6 ms) remains reasonable until that lands.
