New visual test site under game/world/sites: flat sandy floor at
-40 m, calm surface at 0 m, fixed daytime sun ahead of and above
the submarine. Light shafts come from a shadow-only surface
occluder whose alpha-scissor ripples open only inside a pool a few
tens of metres ahead; a subtractive FogVolume cancels the global
volumetric fog above the water, and an unshaded ceiling mesh shows
the lit underside of the surface inside that pool. A composed
world (sunlit_shallows_world.tscn) mounts the submarine, cockpit
and camera rig in it, with the projectors kept out of the fog.
Cockpit: the porthole glass moves to its own render layer with a
rougher material and the porthole fill light excludes that layer,
so interior lamps no longer mirror as hard specular points.
Quality gate: new integration suite for the site (42 checks), three
glass assertions in the foundation suite, and the Input-access
architecture rule now matches both path separators so the gate runs
on Windows. project.godot raises the volumetric fog froxel grid to
128 so the shafts stay readable.
