Explanation
The changes satisfy
#1582. They stage warm generation, keep the published canopy drawable, bound instance and cull transfers, publish complete replacements, and add lifecycle and tail-window tests. The direct issue#1578remains unmet. The PR preserves the RT vegetation budget and reports 173 refused groups with the TLAS withheld. It does not select or implement coarser groups, a larger budget, or a longer proxy deadline.

@OloEngine/src/OloEngine/Terrain/Foliage/FoliageGPUCuller.cpp:
- Around line 246-248: Update BeginLayerUpload to catch std::exception from
StorageBuffer::Create, log the allocation failure, and return false so callers
retain the refuse-and-fall-back behavior. Also log and return false when the
created buffer is null or its RHI handle is invalid.
Review comments at @OloEngine/src/OloEngine/Terrain/Foliage/FoliageRenderer.cpp:
- Around line 3989-3995: Update CullForView’s timing accounting so
m_RebuildTimings.CullPreparationMs includes only actual rebuild work, not every
per-frame call or generation-match early return. In the BuildLayer path, add
elapsed time only when layer.CullLayer.BuiltGeneration changes; apply the same
principle to EnsureViewCapacity, counting its elapsed time only when it returns
recreated.
Review comments at
@OloEngine/tests/Rendering/PropertyTests/FoliageCostBaselineTest.cpp:
- Line 1087: Update the assertions in FoliageCostBaselineTest to avoid exact
equality for floating-point values: compare each component of the glm::vec3
m_BaseColor with EXPECT_FLOAT_EQ, and replace the EXPECT_EQ assertions on floats
at the referenced test locations with EXPECT_FLOAT_EQ.

#1603 (e9e1e49) registered olo_foliage_rebuild, a ProjectWrite tool, without a row in docs/guides/mcp-diagnostics-server.md, so McpDocsCoverage's EveryRegisteredToolAppearsInTheGuide and EveryConsentGatedToolIsMarkedConsentedWriteInTheGuide fail on master. Found by this PR's TSan test shard 3/4; red locally on the old guide, green with the row. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Warm foliage edits blocked rendering while generating placements and reconciling plant IDs. Prepare owned CPU snapshots on one worker, keep drawing the complete published canopy, and stage fresh instance/cull buffers with a shared 2 MiB/frame transfer budget. Publish the whole replacement at the pre-render boundary. Newest edits, cancellation, failure, disable and teardown preserve coherent ownership; streaming representation changes refresh metadata without regenerating placement.
On the unchanged 491,773-plant scene, matched GL Forward/CSM rebuild maxima fall from 519–544 ms to 20.6–22.8 ms. All five replacements publish per 600-frame window, with 0.74–0.96 s edit latency, 85.28 MiB known staging arrays and 24.42 MiB extra tracked GPU residency. Whole-generation publication preserves visual coherence while trading delayed visibility and memory for responsiveness.
Cold enable (453–599 ms), height-following synchronous rebuilds (427–506 ms), and private cutoff mip preparation (118–121 ms; publication 14–15 ms) remain measured residuals. Resource preparation is one layer/frame; the transfer budget covers instance/cull data, not texture mips. This does not make every edit a 20 ms operation.
Closes #1582.

Review guide
Where I'd look hardest
FoliageRenderer.cpprequest/cancel/advance/publish — identity-reader fence, borrowed atlas claims, checked transfers and GPU/CPU retirement ownership.FoliageGeneration.cpp/ registry seeding — owned snapshots, determinism and stable published registry reference through backing swap.Scene.cppsource observation / publication — heights supersede pending work before rendering; visible/history changes occur at publication.What I verified, and how — named contracts above, real pipeline/live images, current runtime launches, matched isolated tails and expensive-edit residual campaigns; current-head Standards/Spec self-review.
Least confident about — larger uncached asset edits can need more owner-side texture/bake work than the measured cutoff campaign; the claim stays bounded to tested content.
