-3. **Lighting/atmosphere pass (direction-agnostic):** ambient way down, dynamic point lights on projectiles / portal /
-   pickups / braziers / ability impacts, per-biome fog + color-grade tune. Build AS IF no pixel filter (it composes on

+3. ~~Lighting/atmosphere pass~~ **DONE (2026-07-09, `414f9ff62`)** — dark ambient + DynamicLightSystem
+   (projectile/portal/node/impact-flash lights) + landmark mood lights + per-biome dark palettes; found+fixed
+   the dead Linear-fog density knob. **ART LOOK LOCKED (operator, 2026-07-09): CLEAN DARK-SYNTY — pixel filter
+   OFF** ("everything feels smoother & sharper without it"); the PixelOutline feature stays dev-toggleable (F3)
+   with `_MasterEnabled=0` shipped. Operator is open to experimenting with OTHER fullscreen/shader effects
+   later (sharpen/vignette/grade variants — backlog). Every later visual choice keys off clean dark-Synty.
 4. **Ambient motion layer (client-only, zero netcode):** foliage sway/rustle on walk-through, per-biome dust/embers/fog
   drift particles, critters that scatter, flags/banners. Biggest bang-per-effort for "not static".
 5. **Breakable clutter with drops:** Hades-style urns/crates/Blight growths seeded per room; shatter on hit → small
