How carcodee/codevkengine works

CodeVkEngine is a Vulkan graphics engine for rendering experiments. The principal workflow is: a user interacts with a window and renderer controls; renderer passes describe work in the render graph; the engine manages GPU resources, builds queue batches, and submits them for presentation. The documented default is Flat_Renderer, with Cluster_Renderer and Gaussian-splat prototypes as additional capabilities. README documentation supports several relationships; source excerpts are limited, so unsampled implementation details are not inferred.
