Keep the NameLayer emoji atlas generation deterministic by loading Twemoji COLR from resources/fonts instead of resolving it through the twemoji-colr-font npm package.
The font file and its OFL license are now checked in next to the other namelayer font assets. This removes the deprecated package dependency while preserving the current Twemoji output until the project chooses a final emoji font/set.
Pass the pinned Twemoji font path to FontLibrary.use as an explicit path array, name the color-detection threshold used by atlas validation, and make SVG viewBox width/height extraction easier to read.
Validated with the namelayer asset build and eslint for scripts/build-namelayer-assets.mjs.
Make layer initialization awaitable and have GameRenderer wait for each layer init before input and worker ticks start. This prevents the Pixi NameLayer from seeing players before its async font, atlas, and renderer setup has completed.
Also store the AlternateViewEvent handler on NameLayer so destroy() can unsubscribe it, matching the existing resize listener cleanup and preventing torn-down instances from mutating state.
Replace node-canvas in the namelayer asset builder with skia-canvas so icon and emoji atlases are rasterized through the same cross-platform rendering backend. This removes the previous dependency on host Cairo/Pango emoji rendering, which could produce monochrome emoji sprites depending on the local font stack.
Add twemoji-colr-font as a pinned COLR/CPAL emoji font input for the build. The emoji atlas now renders from that explicit font instead of whichever OS emoji font happens to be installed, making the generated sprite sheet stable across developer machines and CI.
Generalize atlas frame packing for both SVG icons and emoji glyphs: render into a scratch canvas, trim to alpha bounds, center, and scale into the cell with consistent padding. This prevents icon frames from touching cell edges while preserving the existing Pixi atlas JSON contract.
Regenerate namelayer emoji and icon atlases. The builder now validates generated atlas frames and fails if any frame is empty or if the emoji atlas contains no color pixels, catching the monochrome-regeneration failure at build time.
Track permanently failed texture URLs so getTexture does not call PIXI.Assets.load
again after a rejection. Extend resetWarningsForTests to clear failedTextures and
to reset preloadPromise, fontReady, and fontFamily so tests can run preload() and
loadBaseAssets() from a clean state.
Detailed changelog:

This commit enhances the WebGPU rendering pipeline, providing better performance insights and visual fidelity through improved shader management and debugging capabilities.
Store defended influence in defendedStrengthTexture and sample it in territory render shader
Recompute defended strength on tick for state-updated tiles and for post-change dirty tiles, with full-map fallback when diffs are large
Pack defense posts by owner on GPU (owner offsets + posts buffer)
Remove old defended clear/update passes and epoch-based params
Replace epoch-based defended texture tracking with hard-clear approach for
improved reliability and performance. Remove complex dirty state tracking
and epoch incrementing logic in favor of direct hard clears before rebuilds.
Changes:
- Remove wasDefensePostsDirty tracking from TerritoryRenderer
- Replace numUpdates > 0 checks with hasStateUpdates boolean
- Hard-clear defended texture before restamping instead of epoch management
- Mark DefendedUpdatePass as dirty when rebuilding defended state
- Rebuild bind group in DefendedUpdatePass when missing, not just on buffer change
This eliminates potential transient mismatches where defended rendering
disappeared between rebuilds and simplifies the update pipeline.
Replaced tile sampling for terrain colors with direct extraction from the theme object, significantly improving performance. Updated shore, water, shoreline water, plains, highland, and mountain color computations to utilize theme properties, eliminating the need for tile searches. This change enhances efficiency in terrain color management while maintaining visual fidelity.
Modified the workgroup size in the state-update compute shader from 1 to 64 for improved parallel processing. Adjusted the dispatch logic in StateUpdatePass to calculate the correct number of workgroups based on the new size, enhancing performance during state updates. Removed unnecessary terrain parameter upload in TerritoryRenderer to streamline resource management.
Updated the terrain recomputation logic to trigger asynchronously, improving performance by allowing rendering to continue without blocking. This change ensures that the terrain will be ready for the next frame, which may result in displaying stale terrain for one frame but enhances overall rendering efficiency.
Refactor the monolithic TerritoryWebGLRenderer into a modular, extensible
architecture that separates ground truth computation from rendering passes.
This change also includes related improvements to game state management and
hover information handling.
WebGPU Architecture Refactor:
- Extract all shaders to external .wgsl files (no inlined shaders)
- Separate ground truth data management (GroundTruthData) from rendering
- Create pass-based architecture with ComputePass and RenderPass interfaces
- Implement compute passes: StateUpdatePass, DefendedClearPass, DefendedUpdatePass
- Implement render pass: TerritoryRenderPass
- Add TerritoryRenderer orchestrator with dependency-based execution ordering
- Add WebGPUDevice for device initialization and management
- Add ShaderLoader utility for loading .wgsl files via Vite ?raw imports
Performance Optimizations:
- Dependency order computed once at init (topological sort)
- Early exit checks at orchestrator and pass levels
- Bind groups rebuilt when textures/buffers are recreated
- Zero per-frame allocations (reuse command encoders and staging buffers)
Architecture Benefits:
- Easy to extend with new compute/render passes (borders, temporal smoothing, etc.)
- Clear separation between tick-based compute and frame-based rendering
- All shaders in external files for better maintainability
- Ground truth data computed once and reused by all passes
Related Changes:
- Add defended tile state support to GameMap (isDefended/setDefended)
- Expose tileStateView() for direct GPU state access
- Extract hover info logic to HoverInfo utility
- Remove TerrainLayer (terrain now rendered by WebGPU territory pass)
- Update GameRenderer to use transparent overlay canvas
- Add viewOffset() method to TransformHandler
Files:
- Deleted: TerritoryWebGLRenderer.ts (1217 lines), TerrainLayer.ts (77 lines)
- Added: 17 new files in webgpu/ directory structure
- Updated: TerritoryLayer.ts, GameRenderer.ts, PlayerInfoOverlay.ts,
GameMap.ts, GameView.ts, GameImpl.ts, TransformHandler.ts, vite-env.d.ts
