"""Sculpting against a sensor: an optimiser reshapes a body to hide from -- or shout at -- the engine's own LIDAR.

The companion piece to warp_hull_sculpt. There the loss was physics, written out
as integrals I could differentiate. Here there is no loss function of mine at
all. The objective IS `DepthSensor.scan_rgbd` on the Vulkan backend: a GPU ray
trace through the renderer's own acceleration structure, evaluating the LIDAR
equation in the closest-hit shader that ships with the engine
(`shaders/lidar.rchit`) --

    I = P_tx . f_back . cos(theta) . exp(-2 sigma r) / r^2 . (pi R_ref^2)

    f_back = albedo (1 - metal) / pi  +  F . D(N.H) / (4 cos^2 theta)

-- Cook-Torrance at the back-scatter geometry, where sensor = transmitter =
receiver so the half-vector is the surface normal. What comes back to Python is
a point cloud with a normalised intensity per return, and returns the engine's
own `detectorThreshold` could not lift above the noise floor never come back at
all. I count what survives. That count, over a fixed set of poses, is the whole
objective. No gradients exist and none are asked for: a CPU CMA-ES proposes
shapes, the GPU says how visible each one is.

Two runs of the same machinery, differing only in a sign:

  STEALTH (minimise) discovers FACETING. The specular lobe is the reason it can.
  D is a GGX distribution evaluated at N.H = cos(theta), so at roughness 0.62 a
  surface tilted ~25 degrees off the beam has already lost most of its return,
  and past ~45 degrees it falls under the detector threshold and the beam simply
  reports nothing. A sphere cannot escape this: from any direction some patch of
  it is square-on. A faceted body can, if no facet is normal to any pose in the
  set -- which is the F-117 argument, made by an optimiser that was never told
  about aircraft.

  CONSPICUOUS (maximise) discovers FRONTAL PANELLING: broad flats aimed at the
  poses, because a flat normal to the beam returns its whole area at cos(theta)
  = 1 instead of the single square-on point a sphere offers.

FIXED VOLUME. Every candidate is projected back to the starting enclosed volume
by scaling all radii by (V0/V)^(1/3) before it is ever scanned. Without it both
answers are the same cheese: stealth shrinks, conspicuity grows, and neither
tells you anything about shape. The constraint is exact, not a penalty term, and
the run prints the volume error alongside the score.

HONESTY, in order of how much they matter:

  * SINGLE BOUNCE. The tracer records the first return along a beam (glass and
    water aside). Corner-cube retroreflection -- three mutually perpendicular
    faces sending a beam back the way it came -- is a multi-bounce effect this
    sensor cannot see, so the conspicuous optimum here is panelling, not corner
    cubes. A real corner-reflector story is not what this demo shows.
  * STAR-SHAPED BY CONSTRUCTION. The parameters are RADII along fixed
    directions, so no candidate can fold back on itself. That bounds how
    concave the conspicuous answer is allowed to get, and it is why the stealth
    answer is a faceted convex-ish body rather than a cavity.
  * FACE NORMALS, NOT SHADING NORMALS. `lidar.rchit` derives its normal from
    the hit triangle's own vertices and deliberately ignores the interpolated
    `normal` attribute. The score therefore cannot be gamed by writing a
    flattering normal buffer; the `normal` attribute here exists only so the
    raster picture is shaded. That is the engine's choice, not mine, and it is
    what makes "the sensor is the loss" mean something.
  * ONE MATERIAL. Both answers are the same painted metal (roughness 0.62,
    metalness 1.0). Stealth by absorbing coatings is a different demo; this one
    is only allowed to move geometry.
  * THERE IS A FLOOR UNDER STEALTH, AND IT IS THE ENGINE'S. `lidar.rchit` says
    so in its own comments: "We omit Smith G". Without the shadowing-masking
    term the back-scatter specular is D.F / (4 cos^2 theta), and as cos theta
    goes to zero that denominator wins -- so intensity falls 12x from square-on
    to the trough near 55 degrees and then climbs back up, saturating at
    grazing. Measured on the baseline sphere at 9 m: 0.208 at 0 deg, 0.017 at
    55 deg, over 0.16 again past 80 deg. Every closed body therefore keeps a
    bright SILHOUETTE RIM that no amount of faceting can tilt away, because the
    rim is where the surface turns away from the beam by definition. The
    stealth answer removes the square-on cap and keeps the rim, and that rim is
    most of what it still returns. A real sensor model with Smith G would not
    hand it back; this one does, and the number below is honest about it.
  * THE POSE SET IS THE THREAT MODEL. 8 azimuths at 8 m and 4 at 12 m, all
    aimed at the body's centre. A shape optimised against this set owes nothing
    to a pose outside it, and `--sweep` is where that bill comes due.
