dxc lowers float min/max/clamp to dx.op FMin/FMax (36/35) and saturate to
dx.op Saturate (7). DXIL.rst defines them: FMin(a, b) is a < b ? a : b,
FMax(a, b) is a >= b ? a : b, a NaN operand returns the other, and
Saturate is FMin(1, FMax(0, x)). C# used MathF.Min/Max, which pass NaN
through and order signed zeros, so saturate(NaN) was NaN instead of 0.
Every float overload now follows the spec, normalize uses the same max as
its mirror, and the mirror's saturate spells Saturate's operand order
(which maps -0 to +0, where clamp(x, 0, 1) keeps -0). Non-NaN results
change only in the sign of a zero. design.md records the rules and that
dxc marks float math fast, so GPU NaN results are not guaranteed.

dxc 1.9.0.5402 (dxc_2026_07_29, lib_6_3, -HV 2021, -Od) lowers step(e, x) to
fcmp olt x, e; select 0 : 1, so NaN on either side gives 1. The previous
x >= e ? 1 : 0 rule came from prose, not the compiler. math.step and
cultmath_step now use x < e ? 0 : 1 for every overload; the mirror's
cultmath_step compiles to the same fcmp/select as the intrinsic. Unity shader
copy synced; DLL rebuilt and byte-checked by build-unity-package.ps1.

HlslSourceCompatibilityTests now reads shaders/CultMath.hlsl, applies only
the documented transformations (drop include guards, drop Texture2D/
SamplerState functions, file-scope static const -> const, f literal
suffixes, wrap in a class), and compiles it with Roslyn against CultMath.
Any compile error fails the test (probed with an undeclared call). The
compiled cultmath_snoise(float3/float2) also matches math.snoise.
dxc -T lib_6_3 -HV 2021 rejected the mirror: cultmath_snoise(float2) called
the undeclared cultmath_simplex_mod289/permute. Renamed to the declared
cultmath_snoise_* helpers. Vector const locals became plain locals (C# const
is primitives only), and cultmath_step uses value >= edge like HLSL step and
the C# mirror. dxc 1.9.0.5402 now compiles the file cleanly. The Unity
package's Shaders copy is synced.

HLSL is now CultMath's semantic authority where it defines one.
- float2/3/4, int2, double2/3, bool2 and quaternion are plain structs with
public mutable fields instead of record structs. Indexers and swizzles
(float2.yx; float3 xy xz yx yz zy xyz xzy yzx zyx; float4 xy xyz xyw yzx)
have setters.
- ==, !=, <, >, <=, >= are component-wise and return bool2/3/4. Equals and
GetHashCode stay value-based so vectors remain dictionary keys.
quaternion is not an HLSL type and keeps a bool ==.
- Scalar/vector arithmetic and comparisons get explicit overloads on both
sides instead of leaning on implicit splat.
- New types: bool3, bool4, int3, int4, float2x2, float3x3 (row-major like
HLSL, _mRC fields, Rotate / RotateX/Y/Z / Euler with math.RotationOrder).
- New intrinsics: mul (matrix-vector both sides, matrix-matrix), any, all,
select (HLSL argument order), log, vector pow/sqrt/sin/cos/acos/atan2,
double min/max, int3/int4/bool3/bool4/float2x2/float3x3 constructor
functions.
- simplex_noise is renamed snoise and gains the Ashima 3D variant; the HLSL
mirror follows as cultmath_snoise(float2/float3).
- Random gains NextFloat3() and NextFloat3(float3 max) on the same draw order.
Tests pin snoise(float3), float3x3.Euler and float2x2.Rotate to
Unity.Mathematics reference values, and an HLSL-shaped source block compiles
under using static CultMath.math.
