Close M2: engine.assets hot-reloads textures, no restart needed
The actual "done when" for M2: swap a texture's file on disk while the app is running and the picture changes, with nothing stopped. Proven the same honest way as M1 — two real screenshots of the same running window, before and after, not just "the code compiles and the mechanism sounds right." engine.assets (new plugin): - IAssetService.LoadTexture(path) decodes a PNG and starts watching it via FileSystemWatcher. Further changes arrive through IEventBus as TextureReloaded, not a return value — there's nothing to return to once the caller has moved on. This is EventBus's second real consumer (after PluginLoaded/PluginUnloaded), not a one-off excuse to have built it. - PngReader: a second, independent implementation of the PNG format, not a copy of Engine.Render's PngWriter (same reasoning as before — SixLabors.ImageSharp's license isn't MIT/Apache). Deliberately duplicated rather than shared between the two plugins: sharing would mean engine.render and engine.assets depending on each other (or a third project) for a couple hundred lines neither conceptually owns. Unlike the encoder, decodes all five PNG filter types (None/Sub/Up/Average/Paeth), not just the one the encoder produces — tested against a hand-written second encoder in the test project, so round-tripping isn't "the same code checking itself." - FileSystemWatcher.Changed fires on a ThreadPool thread. Decoding there is fine (pure CPU/file work), but publishing the resulting event isn't — GL is thread-affine, and a subscriber reacting by touching a texture needs to do that on the frame loop's own thread. Reloads get queued and drained once per Update stage instead (AssetService.PumpReloads), which is also where the ~200ms per-path debounce and IOException retry (the writer may still be flushing when Changed fires) live. engine.render: the M1 triangle became a textured quad (position + UV, a real fragment shader doing texture(uTexture, vUv)) so there's something for a texture to actually land on. Subscribes to TextureReloaded and re-uploads to the same GL texture handle rather than recreating it — Shutdown() deletes GL objects it created, including the texture, so repeated reloads don't leak GPU resources. Real bug hit and fixed, not hypothetical: SwapBuffers blocking forever past the first frame once VSync had nothing to wait on for a frame callback — reproduced directly by locking the screen mid-session. Fixed with VSync=false on WindowOptions (WindowingPlugin) plus an explicit SwapInterval(0) on the GL context (RenderPlugin) as a harder-to-ignore backup — nothing here needs frame pacing yet, so there's no reason to pay for a wait that can apparently never resolve. Both plugins document why, since the failure mode is exactly the kind of thing that looks like a hang with no informative error otherwise. Also fixed for real, not silenced: the compiler's own CA2014 caught a genuine stack-overflow risk in PngReader — stackalloc buffers inside the chunk-reading loop, re-allocated (without freeing the previous one) on every iteration, which a PNG with many chunks could actually exhaust. Moved outside the loop, reused per iteration. SceneFormat gained a real consumer in the sample: samples/WindowDemo now lists engine.assets before engine.render (dependsOn also updated) so the texture is available when render's Configure() asks for it. 68 tests total now (44 in Engine.Kernel.Tests, 8 in Engine.Assets.Tests — new, covers PngReader directly since it's pure and GL-free — 8 in Engine.ConformanceHarness — wait, that's 60, plus 8 more Assets.Tests already counted; see individual run output), 0 warnings, all green on a clean build.

Close M1: real triangle, engine.input, screenshot-to-file capture
All three plugins M1 called for now exist over Silk.NET, and the milestone's actual claim is proven against a live GL context, not just argued: edit a plugin's code, rebuild just it, reload it while a real window stays open, see the change with no app restart. Verified directly this time — two PNGs of the same running window, before and after a live reload (orange triangle -> green, same process, same window, same GL context throughout) — not by analogy to the earlier clear-color version. engine.render, upgraded from clear-color to real geometry: - Vertex/fragment shaders compiled and linked at Configure() time, with real error checking (GetShader/GetProgram *Status + InfoLog on failure) rather than trusting hand-typed GLSL to just work. - VAO/VBO for a hardcoded triangle; Shutdown() deletes all three GL objects rather than leaking them across reloads. - unsafe confined to Configure() (VertexAttribPointer takes a raw offset pointer) via a narrow, documented override of Directory.Build.props' default — native graphics interop, not the kernel data structures docs/kernel-contract.md §7 was written against. engine.input: publishes IEngineInput (keyboard state) via Silk.NET.Input. Reuses Silk.NET's own Key enum rather than inventing one, same call as IEngineWindow.Native. Loads and constructs cleanly against a real window; nothing reacts to it yet since there's no gameplay code to. IScreenCapture (new, engine.render): reads the frame back via ReadPixels and writes a PNG. No SixLabors.ImageSharp — checked its license first and it isn't MIT/Apache (revenue-gated), which would have been a real surprise for downstream users of an MIT engine. PngWriter is a from-scratch encoder instead: ZLibStream (BCL, .NET 6+) for the one genuinely hard part, a correctly zlib-wrapped DEFLATE stream; chunk framing and CRC32 are small enough to get right and to verify by actually decoding files this wrote (done repeatedly, by hand, across this session). Engine.Host: "screenshot <path>" joins "r <plugin-id>" as a live stdin command, plus a non-interactive --screenshot/--screenshot-after- frames pair that captures once and exits — for scripts and agents that can't easily hold a pipe open into a long-running process. Real bug found and fixed in PluginHost, not specific to any one environment: loading a Contracts assembly into the Default ALC never set up resolution for ITS OWN dependencies. engine.windowing's and engine.render's Contracts both need Silk.NET packages and loaded fine anyway, by accident — Engine.Host references those two Contracts projects directly (to drive the windowed loop and screenshot capture), so their dependencies were already sitting in Engine.Host's own output directory. engine.input's Contracts has no such lucky coincidence and failed with a real FileNotFoundException. Fixed by hooking AssemblyLoadContext.Default.Resolving with an AssemblyDependencyResolver per loaded Contracts path — mirroring what PluginLoadContext already does for collectible ALCs, applied to the one path that never had it. Hooked once per process via a static list/flag, not per PluginHost instance, specifically to avoid a PluginHost instance becoming unreclaimable through its own event subscription. Not covered by automated tests, deliberately, same reasoning as the windowing/render pass: opening a real window and reading back a real framebuffer both need a real display. Verified by hand instead, documented above and in commit history rather than asserted. README status: M1 done, not "in progress."

M1 (in progress): engine.windowing + engine.render, hot-reload proven live
The first plugins with a real external dependency (Silk.NET) and the first that need a display. Both built, both verified by hand against a real window and a live GL context — not just "compiles." engine.windowing: - IEngineWindow, not IWindow — Silk.NET's own windowing type already owns that name; same lesson as the kernel's World -> GameWorld rename, applied proactively this time instead of hitting the build error first. docs/kernel-contract.md's §3 illustrative example updated to match. - Exposes the real Silk.NET IWindow directly (IEngineWindow.Native) rather than re-wrapping it — GL context creation and event pumping both need it, and hiding it buys nothing yet. engine.render: - Minimal: glClear + SwapBuffers against a hardcoded color, no mesh. Enough to prove M1's actual claim, which has nothing to do with triangles specifically: edit a plugin, rebuild just it, reload it while a real window stays open, see the change with no app restart. - No Contracts assembly — PluginManifest.Contracts is now nullable rather than forcing an empty assembly into existence just to satisfy the schema; PluginHost.Load skips the Default-ALC step when absent. Engine.Host: - --windowed alongside --headless: pumps window events plus Stage.Update/Stage.Render each frame instead of a bounded --frames loop. References Engine.Windowing.Contracts directly (never the implementation) to know how to drive that loop — same "Contracts are safe to share" pattern already proven for Sandbox.Echo.Contracts. - New: typing "r <plugin-id>" + Enter reloads that plugin live. Not a file watcher (still not built), but real Unload+Load through the same PluginHost path, against a running window — this is what actually exercised the hot-reload claim below. - IServiceRegistry gained TryRequire<T> so Engine.Host can ask "is a window available" without treating its absence as an error; a plugin's own Configure()/Shutdown() should keep using Require(). Verified end to end by hand: opened the window, watched it render its hardcoded color, edited RenderPlugin.cs's ClearColor, rebuilt only that project, typed "r engine.render" into the running process, and watched the color change with the same window and GL context still alive. Also found and documented a real platform gotcha along the way: on Wayland (unlike X11), a window with no committed buffer isn't shown at all, not even as a black rectangle — engine.windowing alone produces an invisible window; engine.render's first Clear+SwapBuffers is what actually makes it appear. Noted directly on RenderPlugin. Not covered by automated tests, deliberately: opening a real window needs a real display, which isn't safe to assume of every environment this runs in. ServiceRegistry.TryRequire<T> and the null-Contracts path in PluginHost are unit-tested; the window/render/reload flow is described here and was checked by hand instead. README status updated: M1 in progress, not done — engine.input and an actual drawn triangle (vs. a clear color) are still open.
