A texture over a depth surface could only sample one 2D slice of the
plane's own format; 2D arrays, cubes and the R16_UINT view of a D16
plane were refused ("sampling the depth plane of depth surface ... is
not implemented"). A one-slice 2D array now views the depth image as an
array. Several slices, a cube, or an integer view of a D16 plane are
copied into a DepthPlaneCopy image at every use: each slice from the
depth surface bound at its address (base plus one 64 KiB-block depth
slice per layer), otherwise from guest memory, detiled. A depth-bits
R16_UINT view (a depth swizzle) keeps the depth copy, since the shader
converts the sampled depth to its bits itself (GTA V's compute
0x242d4a200 samples a D16 plane array that way, reported by
@tibzejoker). Such a texture is not kept in resource templates.
Storage-image access to depth surfaces is no longer part of this
change; #4500 implements it.
TechnicalDebt (Depth plane copies) and ARCHITECTURE describe the copy and
what still throws.
The memo stamp held TrackerGeneration, which every collect and driver store
advances, so it almost never matched. Driver stores into uncovered ranges
record their generation per 64 KiB block, and NewestStamp of the surface
replaces TrackerGeneration in the stamp.
The guest-access guard covers CB bytes times samples (the single-sample layout size alone missed the later sample planes' tile padding), with a test row in that padding. Remove two TechnicalDebt lines duplicated by the rebase, document the guard bound and the unevicted targets, and add the multisampled targets to ARCHITECTURE.md.
sceAgcFuseShaderHalves returns a fused hull as a copy of its back half
(type 7) that is not registered: type 3, no user data, and shader
registers copied to scratch memory with the checksum, RSRC1/RSRC2 and
the LS program address rewritten. sceAgcCreatePrimState accepts only that
type-3 header, and graphics ABI resolution refused it as a replaced
shader header.
SameHeader now also takes a type-3 header as the registered type-7
header for the same code when every other field is equal and its shader
registers differ only in the fused ones. Graphics ABI resolution then
applies the bound header's shader registers over the registered state.
PPSA26344 fuses its hull halves during its loading screen.

Registration prepares the variants a shader's registered state
predicts; a draw or dispatch whose state needs another one threw
"prepared shader artifact is missing for the requested static ABI".
Titles that link their own libSceAgc build that state themselves and
never call the driver's static ABI resolution, so their draws differ
from the registered prediction. The missing artifact is now prepared at use, logged, and kept
with the snapshot like the deferred and null pixel cases. SourceHandleFor
now checks that the request refers to the registered code, as
InvocationFor already did.
Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection (PPSA05684) still misses on
main 197ffac9 (after the fixed push slots of #2661) for its own pixel
shaders: "prepared shader artifact is missing for the requested static
ABI: address=85899411712 stage=5 wave=64 pushOffset=128
pushCapacity=128".
Decodes SOP1 0x21 s_swappc_b64 (link pair = pc + 4) and resolves its call/return pairing through the existing s_setpc_b64 path: static call regions in GraphBuilder and the vertex-entry fetch-shader call inlined from the parsed fetch-shader plan. s_call_b64 (SOPK 0x16) and s_rfe_b64 (SOP1 0x22) throw at decode. Unmodeled cases throw; see docs/dev/TechnicalDebt.md.
Two diagrams in docs/dev/ARCHITECTURE.md: how the relinker and the NID-patched system libraries produce a native program, and the graphics path from command buffers through the shader recompiler to Vulkan. README only gains a link.
