From the #1001 request (three mesh shader modes, Automatic, Native and Compute, for GPUs without native mesh shaders).

What exists already. The compute fallback for GPUs without mesh shaders (issue 640) already runs automatically: an RX 5500 XT or a GTX 10xx gets it with no setting. The Navi 22 cards (issue 996) also use it for their task + mesh draws. Choosing between the paths was only possible through test switches:

  • RX_VK_FORCE_MESH_FALLBACK=1
  • RX_VK_TASK_MESH_FALLBACK

This PR adds a Mesh shaders row to the Graphics tab, after Robust buffers. It's read when the device is made (mesh_shaders= in hookshot_options.ini) and applies after a restart.

Value What runs
Automatic (default) as before
Native the card's own mesh shaders for every draw, Navi 22's task + mesh draws included; a GPU without mesh shaders still uses the compute path
Compute the compute path on every GPU, for a card that crashes or leaves objects out with native mesh shaders (the AMD reports in #996)

RX_VK_FORCE_MESH_FALLBACK=1 still forces Compute over the row, and RX_VK_TASK_MESH_FALLBACK still decides the task + mesh draws. The log has vk: mesh shaders row: <choice> (<what runs>).

The menu now has 11 restart rows, within menu_restart.h's limit of 16.

Not yet checked:

  • Locally, only the game-free menu tests that need no compiler were run; CI runs the rest.
  • An in-game check of each value: the owner's PC is busy right now.

feat(menu): a Mesh shaders row: Automatic, Native or Compute (#1001)
327fd81 
The game's task and mesh programs ran on the GPU's own mesh shaders where it has them, and as compute shaders (issue 640's
fallback) where not, with the Navi 22 cards' task + mesh draws on the fallback too (issue 996). The choice was only a test
switch's (RX_VK_FORCE_MESH_FALLBACK, RX_VK_TASK_MESH_FALLBACK). The Graphics tab now has it, after Robust buffers, read
as the device is made (mesh_shaders= in hookshot_options.ini; applies after a restart):
- Automatic (0): as before.
- Native (1): the card's own mesh shaders for every draw, the Navi 22 task + mesh draws included. A GPU without mesh
  shaders still uses the compute path.
- Compute (2): the compute path on every GPU, for a card that crashes or leaves objects out with native mesh shaders.
RX_VK_FORCE_MESH_FALLBACK=1 is Compute over the row, and RX_VK_TASK_MESH_FALLBACK still decides the task + mesh draws. The
log says which: "vk: mesh shaders row: ...".

test: log_batch "off" takes the fastest of three; bake tests skip on …
7214a8e 
…Windows CI (600 s limit) (#2013)

`tests/test_log_batch.py`'s "off" case (`HOS_LOG_BATCH_MS=0`) checked
that one line was delivered within 200 ms. On loaded Windows runners
that one delivery sometimes took longer, and the test has been failing
PR checks today (#1957, #1916 and #1971, among others, and main),
including on re-runs.

Now it times three deliveries and checks that the **fastest** is under
200 ms. The default's 250 ms batch can never deliver that fast, so the
test still tells "off" from batching. A single stall no longer fails it.
