feat: naga v0.14.0 — Essential 15 reference shaders, major WGSL coverage expansion

* fix(spirv): let semantics, ImageQuery capability, matrix multiply, deferred stores

- parser: letStmt() returns ConstDecl (named expression), not VarDecl
- spirv: add CapabilityImageQuery (50) for textureDimensions
- spirv: matrix multiply ops (mat*vec, vec*mat, mat*mat, mat*scalar)
- spirv: deferred complex stores for var x = func() - 0.5 pattern
- tests: function call in let, ImageQuery, full MSDF text shader
- hlsl: fix test for dead code elimination after let fix

* fix(spirv): Mul result type for scalar*vector, MatrixStride decoration

- ir/resolve: resolveBinaryType for Multiply now returns correct result
  type (vec4 for scalar*vec4, not scalar). Matches WGSL spec.
- spirv/backend: add ColMajor + MatrixStride decorations for matrix
  members in uniform blocks (required by Vulkan SPIR-V validation).
- tests: add spirv-val validation via Vulkan SDK in MSDF shader test.

* test(spirv): add spirv-val validation, SDF render shader test

- validateWithVulkanSDK: run spirv-val/spirv-dis from Vulkan SDK
- TestCompileSDFRenderShader: full SDF shape shader (both pass spirv-val)
- TestCompileMSDFTextShader: now validated by spirv-val

* fix(wgsl): emit let bindings at declaration point for SSA dominance

let bindings (ConstDecl) were lazily emitted at first use site by the
SPIR-V backend. When a let binding was first used inside an if/else
branch, the SPIR-V ID was defined in that branch block and could not
be used in the other branch — violating SSA dominance rules.

Fix: add StmtEmit at the let declaration point in lowerLocalConst,
forcing the expression to be emitted before any control flow.

Also adds 5 new shader compilation tests with spirv-val validation
covering gogpu and gg shaders (positionedQuad, texturedQuad,
stencilFill, cover, blit).

* fix(wgsl,spirv): module constants, switch termination, select/divide vector promotion

Four fixes for complex shader compilation:

1. Module-level const: lowerConstant now evaluates literal initializers
   and registers them in IR, enabling switch cases with named constants
   (e.g., case BLEND_NORMAL in blend shader).

2. Switch termination: blockEndsWithTerminator now handles StmtSwitch,
   and emitSwitch adds OpUnreachable in unreachable merge blocks when
   all cases return.

3. OpSelect vector promotion: when condition is scalar bool but operands
   are vectors, splat condition to matching bool vector via
   OpCompositeConstruct (WGSL broadcasts, SPIR-V does not).

4. OpFDiv vector/scalar: added promoteScalarToVector for divide operations
   where one operand is vector and other is scalar, splatting the scalar.

Tested with gg blend shader (29 blend modes, HSL, switch, select, step).

* fix(spirv): vector/scalar promotion for add, subtract, modulo

Extends the scalar-to-vector splatting from divide to add, subtract,
and modulo operations. WGSL allows vec3 + scalar (broadcasts), but
SPIR-V OpFAdd/OpFSub/OpFMod require matching operand types.

* fix(spirv,wgsl): type resolution for scalar-vec ops, select float-to-bool, arrayed textures, image store

- Fix binary type resolution: scalar op vec returns vec type (not scalar)
- Fix OpSelect with float condition: convert to bool via OpFOrdNotEqual
- Fix getSampledImageType to resolve actual image type from expression
- Add array index handling for texture_2d_array sampling (SPIR-V vec3 coord)
- Add StmtImageStore (OpImageWrite) for textureStore() in compute shaders
- Add isTextureArrayed check in WGSL lowerer for arrayed texture sampling
- Add tests for full gg production shaders: blend (424 lines), strip, composite
- All 12 shader tests pass spirv-val validation

* fix(spirv): derive sampled type from storage format for storage texture OpTypeImage

Storage textures with uint/sint formats (e.g. rgba8uint) require the sampled
type to match the format (u32/i32), not hardcoded f32.

* fix(spirv): atomicStore/Load, workgroup layout, storage decorations, production shader tests

- Add atomicStore/atomicLoad WGSL lowering and SPIR-V emission
- AtomicStore uses Release semantics, AtomicLoad uses Acquire semantics
- Use emitPointerExpression for atomic pointer operands (not auto-load)
- Resolve AtomicType to ScalarType for constant emission
- Exclude workgroup variables from SPIR-V 1.3 entry point interfaces
- Emit workgroup array types without ArrayStride decoration
- Add NonReadable/NonWritable decorations for storage images
- Resolve ExprAtomicResult type by searching function body
- Add flatten, coarse, fine production shader compilation tests (all spirv-val VALID)

* fix(wgsl,spirv): loop continuing blocks, duplicate Block decoration

- Parse loop { ... continuing { ... } } syntax in WGSL parser
- Deduplicate Block decoration when multiple variables share a struct type
- Add boids (loop+continuing, runtime arrays) and collatz (while, function calls) reference shader tests

* fix(spirv,wgsl): uniform struct wrapping, vector type conversion, trailing semicolons

- Wrap non-struct Uniform variables in OpTypeStruct (VUID-StandaloneSpirv-Uniform-06807)
- Add AccessChain through wrapper struct when loading wrapped uniform values
- Add matrix ColMajor/MatrixStride decorations for wrapper struct members
- Handle vec2<i32>(vec2<f32>) as type conversion (ExprAs) instead of composition
- Parse optional trailing semicolons after struct declarations
- Export TypeResInner for cross-package use
- Add cube, hello_triangle, hello_compute reference shader tests

* fix(wgsl): float literals without trailing digit, increment/decrement, vector type inference

- Lex '1.' as float literal (WGSL allows trailing-dot floats like 1., -3.)
- Parse i++ and i-- as compound assignment (desugar to i += 1 / i -= 1)
- Infer vec2/vec3/vec4 scalar type from arguments when template params omitted
- Add MSAA line, uniform values (skipped), cube, hello_triangle, hello_compute tests

* test(spirv): add hello_workgroups, render_to_texture reference shader tests

- render_to_texture passes spirv-val (local arrays, vertex-less rendering)
- hello_workgroups skipped (requires abstract integer literal handling)

* fix(wgsl,spirv): const constructors, transpose, depth textures, angle bracket splitting

- Add composite constant lowering (vec3/vec4 constructors in module constants)
- Add unary negation support in constant expressions
- Add MathTranspose with native OpTranspose SPIR-V opcode
- Add matrix type caching to prevent duplicate OpTypeMatrix declarations
- Add texture_depth_2d_array as non-parameterized type
- Add textureSampleCompare/textureSampleCompareLevel lowering
- Fix textureDimensions to accept 1 argument (texture only)
- Fix >> token splitting for nested template closing (ptr<function, vec3<f32>>)

* fix(wgsl): struct constructors, pointer deref LHS, compound assignment

- Struct constructor syntax: StructName(field1, field2) creates ExprCompose
- Pointer dereference on assignment LHS: *ptr = val extracts inner pointer
- Compound assignment: remove explicit ExprLoad, use auto-load from SPIR-V backend

* feat(wgsl,spirv): short type aliases, switch parsing, discard, modf, call tree traversal

- Add 48 WGSL predeclared short type aliases (vec3f, mat4x4f, etc.)
- Fix switch/default parsing: default as case selector, trailing commas, optional colon
- Implement _ discard identifier in assignments and let bindings
- Implement modf().fract/whole and frexp().fract/exp member access
- Extend findCallResultInTree to handle 12 expression types (swizzle, access, compose, etc.)
- Refactor token.go String() to map-based lookup with full coverage

Essential 15 reference shaders: 8/15 pass (was 7/14)

* feat(wgsl,spirv): abstract constructors, bitcast, math functions, texture gather, pointer access

Parser:
- Abstract type constructors without template params (vec3(...), array(...))
- bitcast<T>(expr) template syntax with BitcastExpr AST node
- Float literal f/h suffix without decimal point (1f, 1h)

Lowerer:
- Constant expression evaluator for switch case selectors
- dot4I8Packed/dot4U8Packed math builtins
- textureGather, textureGatherCompare, textureSampleBaseClampToEdge
- evalGatherComponent for compile-time component validation

SPIR-V backend:
- 25 new math functions: bit manipulation, pack/unpack, quantizeF16, dot product packed
- OpImageGather/OpImageDrefGather emission with component index
- Pointer access chains on function arguments (ExprLoad, ExprFunctionArgument)
- SPV_KHR_integer_dot_product extension support
- findCallResultInTree extended to 12+ expression types

Essential 15 reference shaders: 10/15 pass (was 8/15)

* feat(wgsl,spirv): Essential 15 reference shaders — 15/15 pass

Complete WGSL language coverage for all Essential 15 Rust naga reference shaders:

Parser:
- Abstract constructors for all types (vec/mat/array without <T>)
- binding_array<T, N> type syntax

Lowerer:
- BitcastExpr handling (ExprAs with CastBitcast)
- Global variable type inference from initializer
- textureGather depth overloads (3-4 args, no component)
- Constant expression evaluator for switch case selectors
- BindingArrayType resolution and opaque resource detection

IR:
- BindingArrayType for descriptor array types

SPIR-V:
- BindingArrayType emission (OpTypeArray/OpTypeRuntimeArray)
- Access chain indexing into binding arrays
- Identity conversion early return (bool(bool()))
- Inline type handling in pointer access chains

Essential 15: 15/15 pass (was 10/15)

* test(spirv): Essential 15 + 2 bonus reference shader regression tests

Embedded 17 Rust naga reference WGSL shaders as regression tests:
- 15 Essential shaders covering core WGSL features
- 2 bonus shaders (skybox, water) for advanced coverage
