Scratch

Current Slice

Aquarium's active focus is clean engine architecture and shiny Epiphany agent visuals.

Keep the engine/client boundary strict:

• Aquarium.Engine owns Win32, D3D12, input, reload, renderer abstractions, debug UI plumbing, and device/toolchain integration.
• Aquarium.Epiphany owns client policy, semantic state interpretation, role layout, and render-plan configuration through Aquarium.Engine.Contracts.
• Aquarium consumes AquariumSynth.Dsl as a pinned package in the repo-local packages feed. AquariumSynthCSharp owns synth internals and tests; update the package only through an intentional version bump.

The renderer work that matters next:

• Continue replacing legacy fixed D3D12 pass execution with the declared render graph.
• Keep body/SDF proxy passes bounded, per-object, and client-authored.
• Build role visuals from coherent low-cost form models before ornament.
• Preserve debug UI as shared chrome and input capture, not parallel panels.
