+"""Proof of texture sampling on real battle geometry: each textured quad's
+texu/texv planes sample a real game texture (nearest, tiled) with z-buffer.
+Binding note: per-quad texid->handle binding is not yet resolved, so this maps
+all textured surfaces to one representative texture to demonstrate the
+perspective-correct SAMPLING on the real geometry (honest proof, not final)."""
