+Windows published `9dcc5d458` (built at `9dcc5d458f` — docs-only commits excluded so both platforms + the pin
+share one hash). Whole `GodotSharp` published (Api + Tools). Headless game boot: clean, 0 binding errors.
+- Oracle `draw_indirect_count` d3d12 (RTX 5080): **22 passed, 2 failed** — the 2 base-instance cases, the
+  documented D3D12 gap (expected-fail per draw-indirect-count.md; got `[0]`/`[0,1]` where `first_instance` is
+  ignored). They RAN rather than SKIPped — the skip gate seems D3D12-absent; same result either way.
+- `--gpu-validation` could NOT run: D3D12 debug layer is not installed on Forge (`_initialize_debug_layers`
+  → ERR_QUERY_FAILED → context fell back to Vulkan, which then reports SUPPORTS_DRAW_INDIRECT_COUNT false —
+  the capability bit only exists on Metal/D3D12 in this fork). Install Graphics Tools for the validation pass.
+- In-world checks (herocombine / contactshadow / SSCS profile / sun acne at bias 0.014): still owed here.
