Replace the synthetic placeholder triangle in the --ui window with the
splash's REAL guest geometry, proving the faithful-render pipe end to end.
Architecture: Route A (UI-side replay). A per-draw capture channel carries
each PM4_DRAW_INDX*'s real state to the UI, which replays it through the
existing wgpu Xenos pipeline. The deterministic headless core is untouched:
capture is gated on an Option<Vec<DrawCapture>> that is None in headless
mode and only enabled on the --ui path, so the --gpu-inline n50m golden is
byte-identical (verified 2x).
The hard part was sourcing real vertices. The WGSL VS already does
format-aware vertex fetch from the b4 storage buffer at the address from the
fetch constant -- but b4 was never populated and the fetch address is an
absolute guest dword address. The slice:
* xenia-gpu/draw_capture.rs: parse the active VS, find its first vertex
fetch, read that fetch constant, copy a bounded window of guest memory
at the fetch base. Best-effort: has_real_vertices=false falls back to
procedural geometry (never fabricated pixels).
* gpu_system.rs: accumulate one DrawCapture per draw into frame_captures.
* exports.rs (vd_swap): drain + publish the frame's captures to the UI.
* ui_bridge/bridge.rs: new publish_geometry channel + UiHandles.geometry.
* WGSL (interp + translator): rebase the absolute fetch address by a new
DrawConstants.vertex_base_dwords so it indexes the uploaded window.
* render.rs: dispatch_xenos_captures uploads each draw's real vertex
window + matching shader, issues real DrawRequests (real prim type,
host vertex count, vs/ps keys).
* app.rs: prefer the real-capture replay; HUD adds real-geo=N counter.
Verified in --ui on Sylpheed: "first Xenos capture batch replayed (real
geometry) captures=24 real_vertex_draws=24" -- all draws resolved a real
guest vertex window; WGSL compiles; no validation errors over 1616 swaps.
Still synthetic-free but not yet pixel-perfect: textures/UVs, DMA index
buffers (auto-index only for now), and kCopy resolve routing are staged
for follow-ups. Faithful: real vertex data, prim types, shaders, constants.
cargo test --workspace green; n50m golden unchanged (2x byte-identical).

Workspace gains a new xenia-ui member that owns the winit/wgpu
window, the Xenos display pipeline (xenos_pipeline + render +
texture_cache_host), HUD font/blit shaders, and the input-bridge
plumbing the app uses to surface guest framebuffers and overlays.
Workspace dependencies grow accordingly: rusqlite is replaced with
duckdb (analysis pipeline now writes DuckDB stores), and tracing /
metrics / pprof / winit / wgpu / gilrs / pollster / crossbeam /
bytemuck are added at workspace level so xenia-ui and xenia-app
share versions. Cargo.lock regenerated.
