[video] fmv_chroma_smoothing = true makes the OpenGL present of a 24-bit
(MDEC) frame keep each sample's luma and take its chroma from a [1 2 1]
tent over the 3x3 source pixels, hiding the 2x2 colour blocks of 4:2:0
video without softening luma. Pairs with the existing fmv_filter upscale.
Guest VRAM/MDEC output untouched; 15-bit presents and the default unchanged.

[video] texture_lod = "mipmap" emulates mip levels for PS1 texture pages,
which are decoded per fetch from VRAM and so have no GL mip chain: the
screen-space UV footprint of a minified, proven-3D primitive is box-averaged
(opaque texels of the fragment's STP class only), and anisotropic_filtering
(1..16) spreads that many taps along the footprint's major axis. Every tap
clamps to the primitive's UV bounds or texture window, so packed atlases
never bleed. The mode rides in the textured batch's filter key; off (the
default), sprites/HUD and magnified textures are unchanged.

<ucontext.h> stops with #error unless _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined, so
debug-tools runtime builds on macOS failed at host_sampler.c. The
sampler only needs ucontext_t's machine context, which
<sys/ucontext.h> declares without the deprecated routines.

Track an open GP0(A0) upload in the renderer whatever the HD state
(facade gr_vram_upload_begin/commit/set_open): HD activation mid-A0
waits for the commit instead of reading the FBO over received words,
and a full-VRAM load no longer ends the hold; gpu.c restores it from
gp0_state on load and ends it on GP1(01h). Sync the render thread
before flushing dumps or reading HD diagnostics, suppress dumps from
generated frames, use _putenv on MinGW, drop a stale log. Adversarial
fixtures for both cases in full-VRAM and high-resolution-window modes.

#575 stopped tracking generated/SCPH1001_*, but check_generated.sh and the
game-release template still required them, failing title release packaging.
SCPH1001 is now optional/local: complete -> noted, absent -> skipped with a
note, partial -> error.

Generated frames are presentation only: their replayed draws skip the CPU
raster and the pack flush, and textured draws resolve the same HD
replacements as the real frame. Drop the HD gate on frame generation. The
HD fixture runs a 30 Hz game with generation off and forced on: real frames
and native VRAM are identical, and every generated frame shows the HD HUD.

A GP0(A0) under HD authority takes the context at its header and keeps it
until the payload commits, so gpu.c's array holds every earlier native draw:
unwritten words keep queued draws and mask checks see the prior native mask.
Publication copies the whole private VRAM (no A0 can be open then), and
render_thread_stop publishes the final private draws before freeing them.
HD replacements and dumping no longer refuse startup or park the thread;
Smooth motion stays off under HD. Adds the review reproduction and #570's
HD safety cases with the render thread running.

With an HD texture pack the CPU raster is native VRAM's authority, and on
the render thread it writes the private copy: gpu.c's array never saw those
draws, so guest readbacks, mask checks and savestates read stale VRAM. Each
acquire now copies the private result into gpu.c's array (the analogue of
ensure_cpu's FBO readback), leaving the words of a GP0(A0) payload that is
still streaming. Fixture: a recorded fill/draw is visible to a readback.

HD texture packs matched draws on the render thread but tracked uploads and
invalidations on the emulation thread, hashing gpu.c's array: a data race
(crash seen in hd_texture_pack_match) and wrong identities whenever the
emulation thread had already recorded a later upload.
The facade now sends residency changes through an optional backend hook
(hd_texture_note). The render-thread backend records them as RTH_HD_NOTE
after the upload/draw they follow; the replay hashes the render thread's own
VRAM copy, which the HD module now follows with the SW rasterizer
(gpu_hd_textures_bind_vram). Pack (re)configuration and HD mode changes are
sync points. Other backends apply the change immediately as before.
The HD GL fixture gains a render-thread case (fails without this change)
and links again: the scale fixture's facade stubs no longer collide with
the real gpu_render.c it includes.

dynamic_resolution_min = "display" (game.toml, settings.toml,
PSX_DYNRES_MIN) floors the controller at the selected internal resolution
without the supersample factor, so with supersample > 1 it only trades
supersampling and never renders below the output. psx_dynres_floor_scale
in internal_resolution.h, tested in test_internal_resolution. OpenBIOS
emitter stamp regenerated (config_loader changed).

[video] antialiasing_mode = "off" | "fxaa" | "fxaa_hq" (PSX_AA_MODE)
filters the composed game image after the game quad and before hold-last
capture, OSD and swap; guest VRAM, readbacks and the Smooth motion /
frame generation sources are untouched. Off (default) never runs the pass
and is byte-identical to master.
[video] supersample = 1.0..4.0 (PSX_SUPERSAMPLE) multiplies the internal-
resolution target (Match display or a line preset), so the existing area
resolve does ordered-grid SSAA; dynamic resolution takes it as its ceiling.
Debug server: post_aa reads/sets the mode live. Real-GL fixture
gl_post_aa_test; supersample checks in test_internal_resolution.

debug_server.c is compiled in every build and its debug_key handler calls
psx_debug_toggle_key, which existed only under #ifndef PSX_NO_DEBUG_TOOLS.
Release now gets a stub that reports the keys as unavailable, like
psx_debug_display_aspect.

PSX_DEBUG_TOOLS builds only (PSX_DEBUG_TOGGLES=0 turns them off). Keys flip one
rendering feature while the game runs and show the state on the OSD: 1 scale,
2 dynamic resolution, 3 widescreen, 4 Smooth motion, 5 texture filter,
6 wide mirror, 7 geometry correction, 8 perspective texturing, 0 summary,
9 PGXP depth, F10 PGXP colour, F11 PGXP seam, F12 PGXP CPU mode. The
debug_key TCP command presses one.

FG_PGXP now names the PGXP feature pass (#558-#560: none / depth / color
/ seam); the reprojection pass turns PGXP depth on with FG_RP_DEPTH=1.

[video] frame_generation_method = "redraw" (default) | "reprojection",
PSX_FRAME_GEN_METHOD overrides; replaces frame_generation_redraw.
- Redraw runs and allocates nothing of reprojection: no snapshots, depth
image, programs, HUD matching; the cost-spike clamp and the dynamic
resolution load formula apply to reprojection only. Switching to redraw
or turning Smooth motion off frees what reprojection held.
- Uniform locations and PSX_RP_DEBUG/PSX_RP_NOPREV are read once with the
programs.
- Each method gets its own breaker settings, set again on a switch;
frame_gen_hold takes a kind (step down / over budget), not a string.
- The warp's depth is cleared before the cars are drawn (PGXP depth tested
them LEQUAL against it).
- The warp restores the renderer's texture bindings on units 1 and 2 and
never leaves a sampler on texture 0.
- gl_frame_gen_test: redraw asserts nothing of reprojection ran or was
allocated (its phase 0.5 digest matches master's); reprojection runs
check the warp's pixels on a parallax pan (vs the redraw of the pair, no
holes, HUD exact), real frames unchanged, and no warp depth with PGXP.
- FRAME_GENERATION.md: the key, the default, reprojection and its
R4-tuned object rules.

A rival car filling half of a 2P view left fewer than half of the pairs
on the camera, rejecting ~7% of 2P game frames; reprojection redraws the
cars itself, so 30% inliers suffice. Overload holds are 0.1-1 s while
in-between frames are reprojected.

Fixes the 2P band near the minimap: a 2D sky gradient that shifts with the
camera was treated as a HUD needle and drawn on top. Object-mode road
corners the camera alone explains are warped as world; only textured
triangles that really moved are redrawn as cars, after their view's first
world triangle.

- Dynamic resolution: Smooth motion's share inflates the measured cost
instead of shrinking the period, so guest-bound detection works again
(it had pinned the level at the ceiling).
- Cost estimate: a sample more than 4x the estimate counts as 4x (one
stall no longer stops generation for many seconds); compiling the
reprojection programs is outside the timed frame.
- Reprojection source: the surface snapshotted at the real frame's present
(two slots: newer and older); the HUD and mirror of both lists are
'keep' in the depth image, drawn last, so a HUD drawn after its list
closed is kept too. Tunnel A/G/B worst ratio 2.9 -> 1.3.
- HUD needles: 2D triangles that move between the frames are drawn at
their in-between position; under them the older frame's dial shows.
- Split screen: a view whose camera cannot be fitted keeps the real image
instead of rejecting the frame (FgCamParams.keep_partial).
- Car redraw skips object triangles before the first world triangle (the
sky dome). Redundant base copies skipped when reprojecting.

Each in-between frame warps the newer real frame's finished image by the
in-between camera instead of drawing the scene again:
- per game frame: a snapshot of the list's finished image (taken when the
list closes; R4 flips to a buffer before drawing into it, so the live
surface is not a stable source) and a 2x native image of camera 1/z,
pixel kind and view rasterized from the recorded triangles in painter
order (world / car-or-dome / 2D-HUD-small-view);
- per in-between frame: one grid draw (a vertex per native pixel) that
unprojects world pixels with their depth, moves them by the view's
in-between camera (fg_view_affine) and samples the snapshot at full
resolution, nearest wins; cells over depth edges or non-world pixels are
left to the snapshot underneath; 2D/HUD pixels are put back; cars are
drawn again at their own in-between position.
Measured: ~0.3-0.8 ms CPU and ~0.3-2 ms GPU per in-between frame (was 2-4
ms each), A/G/B max out-of-range 0.3-3 %, worst ratio 1.1-1.5.
[video] frame_generation_redraw / PSX_FRAME_GEN_REDRAW=1 keeps the old path.
Planner/holds: dynres 'over budget' no longer stops cheap reprojected
frames; guest-late trips ignored while they are cheap; allocation and
shader compilation are kept out of the cost estimate. frame_gen JSON:
rp_ms, rp_zn, reprojected, np (why a flip planned none); debug buffer 4 KiB.

- `wide` (mode 2) is half a native px above 1x and nothing at 1x, as the
docs and `fine` already said.
- Expansion needs the triangle's depth mode 1 (opaque, 3D, depth buffer on,
not near-camera); without depth, painter order resolves the overlap and a
widened edge would draw over its neighbour.
- gl_renderer_set_pgxp_seam syncs with a live render thread (GL_RT_SYNC)
and counts as a PGXP renderer feature.
- gl_frame_gen_test: seam alone draws exactly like no features; at 1x
depth+seam draws like depth; at 3x it changes the image; the in-between
frame at phase 1 still equals the real one with seam on.
