## Highlight - Reworked ReSTIR GI reuse and denoising to reduce fireflies, specular instability, and temporal artifacts - Optimized the reuse texture pipeline to lower overhead while keeping clustered spatial reuse effective ## New - Added water wave frequency and speed settings - Added a PowerShell `shadesmith` runner for configured local execution ## Improvement - Improved ReSTIR spatial reuse with quad-group / 8-sample grouping, tighter pass limits, and reuse-texture packing changes - Improved specular GI stability with better temporal reprojection, pairwise MIS metadata handling, and specular-lobe-biased resampling - Reduced blur and flicker in denoising, TAA, RTWSM, diffuse AO, water surfaces, and auto exposure behavior at low FPS - Optimized shadow sampling and removed unnecessary work from specular reprojection and caustics filtering - Updated shader/options/program generation scripts for the current pass layout and multi-properties workflow ## Fix - Fixed ReSTIR spatial reuse texture tiling and continue-trace discard issues - Fixed specular reprojection failure noise and over-blurred smooth reflections in the denoiser - Fixed the `SETTING_DENOISER_ACCUM` switch and the spatial-filter disabling setting - Fixed TAA edge-pixel out-of-bounds artifacts - Fixed screen-space shadow acne on very flat surfaces - Fixed indirect/program pass generation issues ## Misc - Merged GI edge classification with volumetrics depth layers - Moved `ReprojectInfo` out of GI common utilities and cleaned up related reuse / temporal code - Removed obsolete caustics filter, redundant surface-position specular reprojection, and unused GI helper paths
