Generative fields: gradient noise, the shared kernels, and four effects built on them

[ewowi]

What this does

Replaces the noise every generative effect samples, builds the kernels the
generative-fields plan specifies, ships four
effects that prove them (each as a compiled effect and a MoonLive script of the same look), adds a
tutorial that teaches the vocabulary, and gives every effect in the catalog a preview.

Phases 0 through 5 of that plan, minus the SIMD work (phase 4 item 4), which the product owner
postponed.

253 files, of which 130 are captured images.

The noise

inoise8/16, fbm, warp and turbulence keep their names, coordinates and output ranges; the
field underneath is now Perlin improved gradient noise. Value noise puts its extremes on the
lattice, so low-frequency fields read as soft squares with diagonal seams; gradient noise is zero at
every lattice point, so the structure lives between them, in every direction equally.

One measurement drove the implementation. The first cut benched 2.8x faster than value noise on
the host and measured 1.3x to 1.6x SLOWER on an ESP32-S3: a runtime arity argument, a select
expression compiling to 44 branches per 2D sample on a core with no branch predictor, and eight
corners in flight spilling 52 registers on a 16-register window. The shipped core is
arity-templated, branch-free through a gradient table, and 32-bit on the 8-bit tier.

The kernels

• PolarLut: every pixel's angle and radius, computed once, with cylindrical, spherical and
  radial mappings for volumetric fixtures.
• OscillatorBank: N low-frequency oscillators advanced once per frame, phases held together so
  they keep their relationships over an evening.
• curl16: the perpendicular gradient of a noise potential, divergence-free by construction.
• draw::advect/advect16, decay/decay16, quantize, blit16,
  upscale16: transport, framerate-independent fade, dithered narrowing, and the resolution
  lever.
• Fluid: a stable-fluid solver (Stam 1999) in Q16.16, one independent medium per depth slice.

Each cites its primary source: Perlin SIGGRAPH 2002, Bridson SIGGRAPH 2007, Stam SIGGRAPH 1999.

The effects

Aurora (layered noise curtains in polar coordinates), Trails (dots thrown into a moving
medium, the tails being the transported past), Nebula (a whole noise field born into a curl flow
as one folding cloud), Fluid (dye poured into a medium that solves its own motion). Noise2D is
deleted: the 3D noise effect subsumes it, with a MIGRATING entry and a migrate.js mapping so a
restored config carries over.

Each ships with a .mle script. Scripts gained six flow builtins (trail, flowNoise, flowCurl,
trailDecay, emitTrail, fieldRate) so a script gets tails and fields without owning a buffer,
and MoonLive functions can now return values.

The tutorial, and every effect's preview

Making beautiful effects takes a reader from "what is a
field" through noise, octaves and domain warping to the ladder from lines and SDFs through
particles and fields to transport and simulation. It names the algorithms and the people who
published them, and shows what the power functions and MoonLive buy together: fluid.mle is 44
lines against 276 compiled, because a script composes kernels rather than implementing them.

Every effect in the catalog now has a preview, 62 GIFs where 12 existed before, captured from the
desktop build through the real render pipeline. The audio-reactive ones are captured with the audio
service running, so a spectrum analyser shows bars rather than an empty panel.

Performance

Desktop at 64x64: Fluid 5.5 ms, Nebula 8.3 ms, Trails 3.4 ms. Fluid's pressure solve is the cost
knob, near-linear from 20 us at one iteration to 69 at twenty; a 20x20x20 cube is 232 us. On an
ESP32-S3 the fluid.mle script at 64x64 costs 53 ms against 6.7 ms on desktop, an 8x ratio inside
the documented 20-40x-per-core range. At that cost the render loop starves the network stack on
core 0 and the device's HTTP API stops answering, which is a property of running a per-pixel
script on that chip rather than a regression, but it is the number to know before putting one on an
S3. Device rows for the compiled effects are unmeasured.

The S3 image is 2,043,031 bytes. Moving three shared headers into the effect base bundle made it
240 bytes SMALLER while adding all of the above.

Three things a reviewer should know

This branch is 253 files, past the ~100 where CodeRabbit declines to review rather than
reviewing part of it. 130 of those are images.

Two gates were passing on stale build caches. check_nonblocking --incremental returned 207,
then 53, then 0 on three consecutive runs of an unchanged tree, because it only reports on files
that invocation recompiled; the "zero warnings" desktop build has the same property. Clean-built,
main's code carries 275 -Wfunction-effects warnings and this branch 184, so the branch removes 91
and neither number was visible from an incremental run.

A stale binary produced three wrong conclusions during this work, twice mine and once a
reviewer's, including "seven tests were dropped from the build" (they were in the binary after a
rebuild). Worth suspecting first when a result contradicts the source.

Review

CodeRabbit and three Reviewer passes were processed. The ones worth naming, all found by review
rather than by the tests:

• draw::lerp wrapped on any descending pair (unsigned b - a): a 2x2 saddle of 0 and 100
  produced 98354, so a noise field lit whole cells at full brightness under fieldScale. A noise
  field is a saddle almost everywhere; the existing fixtures were uniform or monotone, which is why
  they passed. Now signed, with a saddle test that fails against the old code.
• A 24 KB array on a 12 KB ESP32 stack: upscale16 held its tap table as a 4096-entry local,
  reached from tick(), so the first stretched frame would have overflowed the main task's stack.
  The table is the caller's scratch now.
• draw::scroll moved one column per slice along y, and one line for the whole volume along z:
  those axes' lines are not evenly spaced by a single stride, and the code collapsed them into one
  counter. Pre-existing; found while reviewing this branch.
• advect16 and blit16 had no test at all, though four effects render through them. Tests now
  pin transport, conservation, edge behavior and the dither carry.
• The scripted binding was a fourth, truncating copy of the 16-to-8 blit and lacked the
  first-frame dt guard its three compiled siblings carry.
• The include rule was broken by the new family: polar.h, oscillators.h and math16.h were
  each included by four or five effects against the "move it into the base header" rule.

Two findings were rejected with a measurement rather than an argument: Nebula's birth is not
framerate-dependent (9.047 against 9.066 over a 4x change, because the time-based decay balances
it), and nebula.mle's contrast default differs from the compiled effect's on purpose (the script's
window spans the field's full range, where the compiled one's spans the top; 192 births 0% of the
field there).

Attribution

Every kernel names its primary source at the point where it is implemented: Perlin SIGGRAPH 2002,
Bridson SIGGRAPH 2007, Stam SIGGRAPH 1999, Bresenham 1962 and 1965. Stefan Petrick is credited in
the README and the tutorial as the person who brought this shader vocabulary to LED panels, and
Trails' card credits 4wheeljive's FlowFields and the concept behind it.

Inline comments:
In `@CLAUDE.md`:
- Around line 197-200: Update CLAUDE.md lines 197-200 and reconcile the
conflicting unrestricted-flashing permission at line 213 so all ESP32 flashing
requires explicit product-owner approval. Update
docs/backlog/generative-fields-analysis-top-down.md line 227 to require explicit
product-owner approval before flashing S3 or P4.

In `@docs/backlog/generative-fields-analysis-top-down.md`:
- Line 106: Update the MoonLive StoreElem and FillElems operations on all three
backends to use the configured channelsPerLight for element width and channel
offsets, preserving raw uint8_t* storage; alternatively, explicitly restrict
these operations to RGB-only buffers and enforce that contract.
- Line 188: The advection budget in the Currencies section is internally
inconsistent: clarify whether the 40-cycles-per-pixel-per-channel target applies
to one separable pass or the full operation, then recalculate and update the
stated S3/P4 timing and 50 fps scenario contracts accordingly.

In `@docs/moonmodules/light/effects.md`:
- Line 422: Update the warped-path cost formula in the AuroraEffect
documentation to state that when warp is greater than zero, the budget is layers
× (octaves + 2), reflecting one warp8 call per layer and pixel with two
displacement samples added to the octaves field samples.

In `@src/core/noise.h`:
- Around line 158-159: Update the dimension-aware noise scaling around the
visible cell-index calculation so the 1D path uses raw directly around the
midpoint instead of shifting it right again, while preserving the existing
halving behavior for higher dimensions and the clamping to the cell range.

In `@src/light/drivers/Drivers.h`:
- Line 462: Update applyRelay() so a relayPins parse error drives lastRelayPins_
to the closed state before returning, ensuring previously valid relay GPIOs are
released when brightness is zero. Add a regression test covering a valid relay
list, an invalid relayPins edit, and the subsequent brightness change.

In `@src/light/moonlive/MoonLiveBuiltins_light.h`:
- Line 272: Remove the zero-rate special-case return in the oscillator
implementation so zero-rate triangle and sawtooth waves use the existing phase
calculation and shape switch. Preserve the square-wave held-value behavior
through the normal waveform logic and ensure phase-zero results match each
shape’s documented output.

In `@test/bench/bench_kernels.cpp`:
- Line 34: Replace the std::function-based row.fn dispatch in the benchmark’s
timed loop with direct templated calls for each kernel, so per-sample
measurements avoid type-erased invocation overhead while preserving the existing
timing and swap-gate behavior.

In `@test/scenarios/light/scenario_Fields_polar_lut.json`:
- Line 252: Update the scenario sequence around the add_module operation so
PolarNoise is removed before Aurora is added and measured. Ensure Layer contains
only Aurora during the Aurora measurement, while preserving the existing module
setup and measurement flow.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve the selected mapping when the table is unavailable.

When polarTable is disabled or allocation fails, PolarNoiseEffect, TunnelEffect, and AuroraEffect use fallback branches that always calculate cylindrical coordinates. These branches ignore PolarLut::Mapping::Spherical and PolarLut::Mapping::Radial, so the effects render a different field from the selected mapping.

Add a direct-address helper to PolarLut and use it in all three fallback branches with the selected mapping.

state that compilation is supported on desktop and FPU-capable ESP32 targets,
consistent with the MM_HEAVY_COMPUTE registration and capability exclusions in
src/main.cpp.
- Around line 597-598: Update the polarTable description in the effects
documentation to state that the 8-bit lookup-table mode is not pixel-identical
to computed addressing; reserve the “same picture” claim for computed addressing
or polarTable16, while retaining the existing performance and memory details.

src/core/noise.h lines 438-439 and src/light/moonlive/MoonLiveBuiltins_light.h
lines 846-847 to perform the signed products in int64_t before shifting, then

preserve the existing curl16 and mm_light_flowNoise behavior otherwise.

In `@src/light/effects/TrailsEffect.h`:
- Around line 62-63: Update the same-size geometry-change branch in
ScratchBuffer::resize() to clear both plane_ and scratch_ when needed == had and
the dimensions change. Preserve the existing behavior for sample-count changes,
which already zero-fills both buffers.
- Around line 71-72: Update TrailsEffect::tick() to capture elapsed() once and
use a zero delta until lastMs_ has been initialized, then store the captured
timestamp; reset the initialization state in prepare(). Preserve normal
elapsed-time deltas on subsequent ticks and ensure the guarded delta reaches
both transport and decay logic.

In `@src/light/moonlive/MoonLiveBuiltins_light.h`:
- Line 908: The emitTrail coordinate calculations must avoid signed int32
overflow near extreme signedArg center values. Compute cx + dx and cy + dy using
int64_t, perform the existing bounds validation on those widened values, then
convert only validated coordinates to size_t for indexing.

In `@src/ui/preview3d.js`:
- Line 917: Adjust the depth-mask handling around the two rendering passes so
depth writes remain enabled for the lit LED pass and are disabled only while
rendering placeholders; restore the enabled state before the lit pass. Update
the nearby comment to accurately describe the placeholder-only rule and preserve
depth testing between lit LEDs.

In `@test/unit/light/unit_Effects_golden.cpp`:
- Line 115: Update the test metadata’s `@also` entries to include FireEffect,
TrailsEffect, and AuroraEffect so module-filtered runs and MoonDeck’s per-module
view include the corresponding golden tests.

Use wide arithmetic for flow-strength scaling.

curl16 and mm_light_flowNoise accept signed int32_t strength values and multiply them by signed noise deltas before shifting. Large values can overflow the signed product. Perform the products in int64_t, then clamp before assigning to int32_t or converting to draw::pos_t.

537-537: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Traverse every column for Y-axis scrolling.

When axis == 1, lineCount is only cv.dims.z, and the later base calculation advances by sliceBytes. The loop therefore shifts only column x == 0 in each slice. All other columns remain unchanged.

Iterate over every (z, x) column and derive each column base before applying the shift.

Proposed fix

-        case 1: step = rowBytes;   lineCount = cv.dims.z;                                  lineStride = sliceBytes; break;
+        case 1: step = rowBytes;   lineCount = w * z;                                      lineStride = 0;          break;

-        uint8_t* base = cv.data + line * lineStride;
+        const size_t zz = axis == 1 ? line / w : line;
+        const size_t xx = axis == 1 ? line % w : 0;
+        uint8_t* base = axis == 1
+            ? cv.data + zz * sliceBytes + xx * cpl

overhead becomes significant.
- Around line 10-11: Update the generative-effects introduction and Section 7 to
accurately distinguish compiled-only power functions from MoonLive-accessible
flow APIs. Identify advect16, draw::quantize, draw::upscale16, and halfLifeKeep

Correct the MoonLive availability description.

The power-function catalog lists advect16, draw::quantize, draw::upscale16, and halfLifeKeep as compiled-only. The MoonLive flow handlers call draw::advect16 internally and expose higher-level builtins: flowNoise, flowCurl, trailDecay, emitTrail, trail, and fieldRate. Rewrite the introduction and Section 7 to distinguish these APIs and list the actual callable functions.

by MoonLive flow handlers rather than exposed directly.

Filter dynamic entries by the active server registry.

source_registered_types() parses src/main.cpp without preprocessing, so it includes RaymarchEffect even when MM_HEAVY_COMPUTE excludes its registration. check_server_freshness() only warns. With --all-registered, add_module() then receives the unsupported type, returns None, and main() exits with status 1. Intersect the source names with server_types before building uncaptured.

Proposed fix

-        uncaptured = sorted(
-            t for t in source_registered_types()
+        registered = source_registered_types()
+        if server_types:

Align the scripted contrast default with the compiled effect.

This script sets contrast to 120, while src/light/effects/NebulaEffect.h and the Nebula documentation define the default as 192. The compiled and MoonLive effects therefore produce different default cloud densities. Set this initializer to 192, or update both other sources if 120 is intentional.

Clear carry_ when the plane geometry changes.

The reshape branch clears both dye planes but leaves the dither carry mapped to the old geometry. The next draw::blit16 can apply residual error to different pixels and channels.

Clear carry_ in the same branch when it is allocated.

Release the trail buffers in MoonLiveEffect::release().

release() frees particles and JIT memory but does not call releaseTrail(). A disabled or removed effect can retain both 16-bit trail planes and trailCarry_ until destruction. A 20×20×20 trail retains 120,000 bytes.

Call releaseTrail() before EffectBase::release().

Proposed fix

 void release() override {
     particles_.release();
     script_.engine().free();
     script_.invalidate();
     script_.releaseReporting(*this);

Clear trailCarry_ when the trail geometry changes.

This branch clears both trail planes but retains temporal-dither state from the previous geometry. draw::blit16() uses that state per channel position, so a reshape applies residual errors to different pixels.

Clear trailCarry_ with the two trail planes.

Proposed fix

 if (n == had && (w != trailW_ || h != trailH_ || d != trailD_)) {
     std::memset(trailA_.data(), 0, trailA_.bytes());
     std::memset(trailB_.data(), 0, trailB_.bytes());
