- Added support for hiding model arrays in the rendering pipeline to optimize performance during VR gameplay.
- Introduced new functions in `gx_model_visibility` to manage hidden model arrays and their visibility based on game state.
- Enhanced cockpit recentering logic to ensure accurate seat measurements and eye positioning during gameplay.
- Updated `FirstPersonState` to track cockpit height and forward direction, improving VR experience.
- Added tests for Bullet Bill model visibility and cockpit height adjustments to ensure functionality and stability.
- Refactored existing code to accommodate new features and improve overall code organization.
- Introduced a new configuration option for immersive window mode in runtime_config.h.
- Updated the parsing and setting functions to handle the immersive window state.
- Modified the OpenXR backend to support rendering with the immersive window, blending the race view with the surrounding environment.
- Enhanced the settings overlay to allow users to select between immersive, immersive window, and flat screen race views.
- Implemented GPU rendering logic for the immersive window mask, ensuring correct visual output in various rendering paths.
- Added tests to validate the immersive window functionality and its interaction with existing race view settings.
- Eyes render under a VK_EXT_fragment_density_map: full rate around each eye's forward direction,
2x2 then 4x4 pixel blocks towards the edges ([vr] foveation = off|low|medium|high, default off).
XR_FB_foveation cannot help here: the runtime's maps only shape passes drawing into its
swapchain, and the eyes reach it through a copy.
- aurora-main/patches/dawn/aurora_fdm.inc: Dawn enables the extension only on request and for
dynamic rendering, flags every render pipeline, and chains an immutable RG8 map into any pass
whose first color attachment is a view bound to one (ABI: include/aurora/dawn_fdm_abi.h).
- android/Build-QuestDawn.ps1 builds the pinned Dawn revision with those patches for arm64
(dawn-build CI flags, protobuf off) into a cached package; Build-Quest.ps1 links it
(-StockDawn opts out) and AuroraDawnProvider.cmake enables the ABI from its manifest.
- lib/gfx/foveation.hpp generates the maps (32 px per texel, densities 255/127/63); an eye is
foveated only when single_pass_eyes draws it in one render pass. Menus never are.
- Live level from the headset panel's VR tab and the launcher; the launch decides whether the
device has maps. debug.wiicompiled.foveation and debug.wiicompiled.fdm for A/B.
- Tests: Foveation cases in gx_fifo_tests, mkw_vr_config_tests. Docs: OPENXR.md, quest-port.md.

- Added eye_pass_plan.hpp: an eye keeps drawing in the render pass it has open across the frame's
GX copies (only the mono render performs them), skips passes a later clear of the whole color and
depth erases, and splits only for a clear of color alone or depth alone.
- render_stereo_eye follows that plan; the cockpit fallback is drawn inside the last pass instead of
a render pass of its own that loaded the eye back.
- The stencil is now cleared where the eye actually starts, so a cockpit mask drawn in an erased pass
can no longer punch holes in the HUD.
- [vr] single_pass_eyes (default on, live from F10) and debug.wiicompiled.eye_passes 0/1 on the Quest
switch back to one render pass per recorded pass for A/B timing.
- Each new plan shape is logged once ("Eye replay plan: ...").
- Tests: EyePassPlan cases in gx_fifo_tests; stereo_multiplayer_smoke and stereo_frame_worker_smoke
pass on D3D12.

A stereo packet can now carry an AuroraCockpit: tracked hands and, when the
vehicle's own wheel cannot be animated, a synthetic steering wheel or
handlebar, all in metres in the seated frame. Each eye draws it inside the
scene's pass just before the first virtual-screen draw, depth-tested with
the world's own depth mapping (captured from a full-view world draw), so
the kart and track occlude the hands and the 2D layer cannot hide them.
Hands use a runtime-provided hand mesh when one is supplied and a
procedural glove otherwise.
aurora_set_stereo_scene_anchor_scaled lets the sealed frame own its world
scale: each eye's head translation is rescaled from the packet's scale to
the frame's. A non-finite cockpit is dropped with one warning; the frame
still renders.

The VR first-person camera will animate the local vehicle's steering wheel
by handing Aurora a rotated copy of one of the vehicle's position arrays.
A draw picks up the copy only when it binds that exact array with the local
vehicle's position matrix (per-position ownership for indexed-matrix
draws), so opponents sharing the asset keep the original vertices. The copy
takes the same padded upload path as the original and never touches the
shared array cache.
