description	Run targeted DX12 renderer pre-commit/PR validation and manage renderer screenshot baselines.

skore-render-test

Use for shader, renderer, texture, screenshot, or visual-baseline work when the user explicitly asks for renderer validation or when PR-bound work is ready for its targeted gate.

Pre-Commit/PR Validate

tools\validate_dx12_renderer.bat

This builds Profile, runs SkullbonezData/scenes/render_tests.suite.json with DX12, checks stdout/stderr, verifies DX12 InfoQueue output, and compares screenshots against committed DX12 baselines.

Expected captures are written to Profile\:

• dx12_screenshot.bmp, dx12_solver_smoke.bmp

Baselines live in TestOutput\baselines\baseline_dx12_<scene>.png.

Update Baselines

Only update baselines when the visual change is intentional:

tools\update_baselines.bat --visuals --require

Archive Captures

tools\archive_validation_artifacts.bat --visuals --require

Debugging Failures

• If DX12 crashes or hangs, use skore-cdb-debug.
• If local pixel comparison fails, convert the relevant BMPs to PNG before visual inspection.
• Do not send BMPs to image viewers; use PNGs.

The suite is render-only. Performance validation is a separate pre-commit/PR gate:
