fix: Resolve skybox and floor rendering bugs with two-pass approach

- Implemented a two-pass rendering strategy in Renderer3D::render:
    - First pass renders the skybox without depth writes.
    - Second pass renders scene objects with proper depth testing.
- Ensured skybox pipeline explicitly ignores depth via .
- Corrected  struct in C++ and WGSL for  and padding, resolving validation errors.
- Reverted  to  for SDF misses, preventing sky bleed-through.
- Updated  to include a SKYBOX object with Perlin noise.

handoff(Gemini): Resolved rendering bugs. Skybox renders correctly as background, and scene objects (including floor) are now visible. Codebase stable.
