Read off the emulator patch rather than inferred: CaptureShipDrawForRE dedups by (vbase, WVP hash), so a buffer drawn repeatedly at one transform appears once. The 3.4% counts multi-instance placement, not buffers serving several parts, and is not the population evidence about sharing it was written up as. Also pins vcount = buffer capacity and indices = that draw's num_indices. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
