What

Read-only GPU-copy input snapshots and the linear scratch buffer used by depth-copy refresh were retained with a zero byte charge. These allocations could accumulate without contributing to the recorder's existing 512 MiB batching budget.

Charge each temporary buffer's requested size while retaining its owner. The existing submission and fence-retirement boundaries stay in place. This accounts for the buffers' logical sizes; it is not a cap on all physical allocations.

Tested

Windows, GCC 15.2 Release/O3, rebased head ea02128b5b2f based on main f3059421f:

• CPU/mock: agc_copy_input_kept_bytes, agc_depth_copy_kept_bytes, agc_recorder_kept_bytes, agc_pipeline_library_clear_waits_for_build and agc_pipeline_store_lazy_buffer_pool, 5/5 passed. Tests exercise the actual production copy paths, immutable input snapshots, mip offsets/aspects, exact budget boundaries, oldest-batch retirement and owner lifetime through fence completion.
• Reverting only the two byte arguments makes both new copy tests fail at their specific budget assertions. Restored the exact source, rebuilt and reran the five tests successfully. Import watching is disabled in the input mock to avoid platform-dependent capability probes.
• Adjacent regression batch: agc_driver_depth_compare_copy, agc_driver_depth_plane_guest_layers, agc_driver_recorded_kept_bytes (real Vulkan) and agc_driver_graphics (CPU/mock), 4/4 CTest cases passed in 11.48 seconds with no skipped CTest cases and ANYPS5_REQUIRE_VULKAN=1. The recorded-kept-bytes suite explicitly reported that its draw-snapshot subcases were not tested on this configuration; its other cases ran. All four actual executables were freshly built for this head and pinned with their runtime libraries before and after the managed-slot run.
• Conventions passed. The Graphics test rebase preserves main's atomic live-object counter and newer pipeline handlers alongside the two copy handlers. The two production charges are unchanged by the rebase. Linux execution was not run.

The two new copy tests mock Vulkan and do not execute GPU copies. The three adjacent hardware suites exercise surrounding recorder/depth behavior. Clean merge into main fc623324a was checked separately; the tests above ran on the stated head. No title memory reduction or FPS improvement has been measured for this change. Earlier test reports in comments apply to their explicitly named older heads.

[fdfawef324]

Rebased onto main 341613ab6 to resolve the conflict with #5304 in the Graphics test dispatch (both branches kept). The production diff is unchanged.

On the new head fb4bf56ea (Windows, GCC 15.2 Release), all 52 ctest cases of agc_driver_graphics_tests and agc_driver_recorder_tests pass; 41 of them ran on the RTX 3060. Reverting both charges makes both new tests fail. The Tested section is updated.

[fdfawef324]

Rebased onto main at c842491: head is now bc07087; the one conflict was in the main() dispatch of tests/Graphics.cpp, where --pipeline-journal landed next to our two new flags, and we kept all three.
The production change is unchanged: the two Keep() calls (GPU-copy input snapshot, depth-copy linear buffer) still pass their byte counts to the recorder.
Tests: agc_copy_input_kept_bytes, agc_depth_copy_kept_bytes and agc_recorder_kept_bytes pass on the rebased build, and the first two fail with the two byte arguments reverted. GPU neighbours on the RTX 3060 (driver 591.86, Windows Server 2025): agc_driver_graphics, agc_driver_depth_compare_copy, agc_driver_depth_plane_guest_layers and agc_driver_recorded_kept_bytes pass (4 of 4).

[fdfawef324]

Rebased onto main f3059421f; new head ea02128b5b2f. The Graphics conflicts preserve main's atomic live-object counter and both newer pipeline handlers alongside the copy test handlers. The two production byte charges are unchanged.

Fresh checks on this exact head: five CPU/mock tests pass, and reverting only the two byte arguments makes both new copy tests fail at their budget assertions. After restoration/rebuild, the five tests pass again. The managed-slot adjacent batch passes 4/4 CTest cases: three real Vulkan suites (depth_compare_copy, depth_plane_guest_layers, recorded_kept_bytes) plus mock graphics. The recorded-kept-bytes suite reports its draw-snapshot subcases were not tested; its other cases ran. All actual executables and runtime libraries were freshly built and hash-pinned. Full GPU details and current qualifications are in Tested.

Clean merge into main fc623324a checked separately. No title memory/FPS improvement measured. Earlier comments refer to their named historical heads; the obsolete later-main paragraph has been removed from the body.
