 ## Future Extensions
 
+### Flexible Feature Layout (Binary Format v3)
+
+**TODO:** Support arbitrary feature vector layouts and ordering in binary format.
+
+**Current Limitation:**
+- Feature layout hardcoded: `[p0, p1, p2, p3, uv_x, uv_y, sin10_x, bias]`
+- Shader must match training script exactly
+- Experimentation requires shader recompilation
+
+**Proposed Enhancement:**
+- Add feature descriptor to binary format header
+- Specify feature types, sources, and ordering
+- Runtime shader generation or dynamic feature indexing
+- Examples: `[R, G, B, dx, dy, uv_x, bias]` or `[mip1.r, mip2.g, laplacian, uv_x, sin20_x, bias]`
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Training experiments without C++/shader changes
+- A/B test different feature combinations
+- Single binary format, multiple architectures
+- Faster iteration on feature engineering
+
+**Implementation Options:**
+1. **Static approach:** Generate shader code from descriptor at load time
+2. **Dynamic approach:** Array-based indexing with feature map uniform
+3. **Hybrid:** Precompile common layouts, fallback to dynamic
+
+See `doc/CNN_V2_BINARY_FORMAT.md` for proposed descriptor format.

+## 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
