-
----

-## Weight Data (variable size)
-
-Starts at offset:
-- **Version 2:** `20 + (num_layers × 20)`
-- **Version 1:** `16 + (num_layers × 20)`
-
-**Format:** Packed f16 pairs stored as u32
-**Packing:** `u32 = (f16_hi << 16) | f16_lo`
-**Storage:** Sequential by layer, then by output channel, input channel, spatial position
-
-**Weight Indexing:**
-```
-weight_idx = output_ch × (in_channels × kernel_size²) +
- input_ch × kernel_size² +
- (ky × kernel_size + kx)
-```
-
-Where:
-- `output_ch` ∈ [0, out_channels)
-- `input_ch` ∈ [0, in_channels)
-- `ky`, `kx` ∈ [0, kernel_size)
-
-**Unpacking f16 from u32:**
-```c
-uint32_t packed = weights_buffer[weight_idx / 2];
-uint16_t f16_bits = (weight_idx % 2 == 0) ? (packed & 0xFFFF) : (packed >> 16);
-```

-## Example: 3-Layer Network (Version 2)
-
-**Configuration:**
-- Mip level: 0 (original resolution)
-- Layer 0: 12→4, kernel 3×3 (432 weights)
-- Layer 1: 12→4, kernel 3×3 (432 weights)
-- Layer 2: 12→4, kernel 3×3 (432 weights)

-## Static Features
-
-Not stored in .bin file (computed at runtime):
-
-**8D Input Features:**
-1. **p0** - Parametric feature 0 (from mip level)
-2. **p1** - Parametric feature 1 (from mip level)
-3. **p2** - Parametric feature 2 (from mip level)
-4. **p3** - Parametric feature 3 (depth or from mip level)
-5. **UV_X** - Normalized x coordinate [0,1]
-6. **UV_Y** - Normalized y coordinate [0,1]
-7. **sin(20 × UV_Y)** - Spatial frequency encoding (vertical, frequency=20)
-8. **1.0** - Bias term
-
-**Mip Level Usage (p0-p3):**
-- `mip_level=0`: RGB from original resolution (mip 0)
-- `mip_level=1`: RGB from half resolution (mip 1), upsampled
-- `mip_level=2`: RGB from quarter resolution (mip 2), upsampled
-- `mip_level=3`: RGB from eighth resolution (mip 3), upsampled
-
-**Layer 0** receives input RGBD (4D) + static features (8D) = 12D input → 4D output.
-**Layer 1+** receive previous layer output (4D) + static features (8D) = 12D input → 4D output.

-## Validation
-
-**Magic Check:**
-```c
-uint32_t magic;
-fread(&magic, 4, 1, fp);
-if (magic != 0x32_4E_4E_43) { error("Invalid CNN v2 file"); }
-```
-
-**Version Check:**
-```c
-uint32_t version;
-fread(&version, 4, 1, fp);
-if (version != 1 && version != 2) { error("Unsupported version"); }
-uint32_t header_size = (version == 1) ? 16 : 20;
-```
-
-**Size Check:**
-```c
-expected_size = header_size + (num_layers × 20) + (total_weights × 2);
-if (file_size != expected_size) { error("Size mismatch"); }
-```
-
-**Weight Offset Sanity:**
-```c
-// Each layer's offset should match cumulative count
-uint32_t cumulative = 0;
-for (int i = 0; i < num_layers; i++) {
- if (layers[i].weight_offset != cumulative) { error("Invalid offset"); }
- cumulative += layers[i].weight_count;
-}
-if (cumulative != total_weights) { error("Total mismatch"); }
-```

-## Future Extensions
-
-**TODO: Flexible Feature Layout**
-
-Current limitation: Feature vector layout is hardcoded as `[p0, p1, p2, p3, uv_x, uv_y, sin10_x, bias]`.
-
-Proposed enhancement for version 3:
-- Add feature descriptor section to header
-- Specify feature count, types, and ordering
-- Support arbitrary 7D feature combinations (e.g., `[R, G, B, dx, dy, uv_x, bias]`)
-- Allow runtime shader generation based on descriptor
-- Enable experimentation without recompiling shaders
-
-Example descriptor format:
-```
-struct FeatureDescriptor {
- u32 feature_count; // Number of features (typically 7-8)
- u32 feature_types[8]; // Type enum per feature
- u32 feature_sources[8]; // Source enum (mip0, mip1, gradient, etc.)
- u32 reserved[8]; // Future use
-}
-```
-
-Benefits:
-- Training can experiment with different feature combinations
-- No shader recompilation needed
-- Single binary format supports multiple architectures
-- Easier A/B testing of feature effectiveness
