Current main integration: head 12f2a6265fd24a59c1534e7a1612f8f38879adc9, base d224dc0680ad418b1ab111555c7d19cc483dcfdc. The runner migration is integrated and focused package/declaration checks pass. Production patch ID is unchanged. Complete local suite: 278 passed, 3 failed, 20 skipped in 139 s (windows, 2 at once). Exact main d224dc0: 277 passed, 3 failed, 20 skipped in 131 s (windows, 2 at once). Same failures: nx2/test_nup_out_of_space.py, nx2/test_nup_paths.py, tests/test_precompile_compute_guard.py. LLVM-Mingw and UTF-8 explicitly pinned; initial collector failures remain preserved separately.

Fresh exact-head CI dispatches (do not infer success from this list):

Historical native coverage below stays tied to its recorded build; no new API13 native run claimed.

A formatted-buffer cache hit currently skips the backing lookup and its imported-pool use stamp. After a guest remap it can return a view of the old buffer; creation errors also enter the cache, and cached views are retained when their imported backing is destroyed.

Resolve and stamp the backing before every lookup, key views by the actual VkBuffer plus exact format/offset/clamped range, and release them immediately before the backing's existing completed destruction. All eight raw import-destruction paths share that release wrapper. Retirement thresholds, keep-retired policy, completion values, mirrors and the host/renderer API are unchanged; no additional GPU wait is introduced.

Creation failure stays retryable on the next present, with one failed attempt per backing per present and no suppression of existing valid views. Undefined error-output handles are not admitted or destroyed. Throwing cache insertion rolls back only the new view. Storage write tracking and alignment/device-limit guards remain in place. A separate registry mutex covers background drops of unpublished imports; lookup never holds it while acquiring the pool lock.

Validation at 2caed98e3aa181d9ba831ec130761e1f3cee95b7, based on main f1f7ac8db22a2384207b10a473c9446269d1ef48:

• 23 actual-code cases execute the consumer, binding lookup, release wrapper, retired-import reaper and active-eviction completion loop. LLVM/MinGW, Linux GCC and ASan/UBSan pass; fourteen behavioral mutants are rejected.
• Full local suite: 243 passed / 2 failed / 20 skipped, versus main 242 / 2 / 20. Both have the same local NUP symlink-privilege and missing Windows-SDK guard failures; no new failure is hidden or skipped.
• Official matching host/backend build passes (API12). Fresh official guest generation has zero NUL bytes; reuse after the shader-lowering main update is backed by identical host/lifter/API git objects and hashes of every copied generated/image file. Current shader/backend sources are rebuilt; no generated C is edited or published.
• Private RTX5070Ti checkpoint smoke: serial and parallel/batch recording, fixed FG2x and bounded capture; both exit0. Each completes maximize/restore and produces three valid 3440x1440 PNGs. Actual window size is measured independently (1444x720 -> 1440x829 -> 1444x720). Source checkpoint hashes are unchanged.

The before/after failure evidence is game-free binding/allocation/retirement execution, not a reproduced native OOM, device loss, import-pressure eviction or performance gain. Native runs cover the healthy checkpoint path, not a campaign or physical-monitor migration. Transient resize capture images settle after the resize; no claim of a temporal-rendering fix is made here. No game-derived data or binaries are included.

Overlap checked against current open heads: #1439 changes retirement selection/grace policy, which this PR preserves; #1377 changes mirror selection. #1688 concerns texture-owned image views, a different cache/owner. This PR does not import or depend on those pending patches.

Fixture portability follow-up at c8333cdff19ccadd9e64939e61ea1f04f88d0766: GPU/host/lifter trees are byte-identical to validated2caed98. The allocator fault is armed after successful Vulkan view creation, targeting cache commit independently of STL sentinel allocation. All rollback assertions remain;23 cases pass LLVM/GCC/ASan/UBSan again and fourteen behavioral mutants are rejected. Native/build evidence above remains tied to2caed98, not relabeled. Earlier Windows source CI failed at the allocator-timing assertion; its Windows build passed.

New exact-head workflows are pending:

• Linux AppImage
• Windows builder
• Game-free source regressions

Implementation and test scope are documented in docs/texel-buffer-ownership.md. Only authored source, fixtures and documentation are included.

Main BC retry/staging fallback changes introduced a shared source-fixture compilation regression. At 06a353a7af1187d4b48dc200bf84c2f12445a7a7, the two staging-publication fixture files are integrated from fe1c22ceb699830965d75168bfe13efc9db690ef: existing assertions remain, mapped fallback/unmapped cleanup/reuse and multi-atom ASTC visibility are exercised. GPU/host/lifter/third-party source trees are identical to the previous head; earlier native results retain their actual hashes. This CI repair is tracked separately and adds no production behavior to this contribution. Exact-head fork workflows were refreshed.

Current-head validation

Current head 12f2a62, based on main d224dc0. Earlier local/runtime results describe their recorded source hashes.

• Linux AppImage: in_progress.
• Windows builder: success.
• Game-free source regressions: failure.

Fork runs are separate from upstream Actions approval; no maintainer approval gate is bypassed.

[Arkex-ai]

Rebased onto main d224dc06; resolved the runner conflict using the new per-test RUN_ALL_ARGS declaration. Production patch ID is unchanged. Focused texel ownership and runner-declaration checks pass.
