Adds src/util/ans.{h,cc}, a per-chunk-adaptive order-0 rANS entropy
coder. Decoder is always built; encoder is gated on ANS_ENABLE_ENCODER
(tools only). Both sides take an optional 256-entry initial_counts
table to seed the adaptive model.
The per-chunk initial state is (1 << kBits). Higher initial states
(e.g. with a signature packed into the upper bits) force a renorm-emit
at iter 0 that the decoder never consumes, corrupting multi-chunk
streams once stats become skewed.
Asset pipeline:
- AssetRecord gains 'compression' and 'uncompressed_size' fields.
- asset_packer scans every WGSL file to build a corpus-wide byte
histogram, then ANS-encodes each shader using that histogram as the
seed. Histogram and accessor are emitted alongside the asset table.
Round-trip verification runs at pack time for every compressed
asset; failures fall back to uncompressed storage.
- asset_manager decompresses on first GetAsset(), caches the
heap-allocated buffer, and DropAsset / ReloadAssetsFromFile free it
along with the procedural cache.
- Disk-load (dev) builds are unchanged: WGSL paths stay as filenames.
Tests:
- src/tests/util/test_ans.cc: roundtrip variants (empty, single byte,
single-symbol run, all-zeros, random uniform/skewed, repeated ASCII),
seeded-vs-uniform compression, rejection of mismatched counts /
corruption / truncation, PeekUncompressedSize.
- 37/37 dev, 36/36 STRIP_ALL.
Compression observed: WGSL shaders shrink to ~0.62-0.71x in the main
workspace (81 of 105 assets qualify).
Docs:
- doc/ANS.md (new): algorithm, bitstream, API, asset pipeline
integration, compression numbers, limitations, tests.
- doc/ASSET_SYSTEM.md: new Compression section + updated technical
guarantees for compressed assets.
- doc/COMPLETED.md: May 2026 entry.
- PROJECT_CONTEXT.md: Build status line mentions WGSL ANS compression.
- CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md: tier-3 build doc list includes ANS.md.
