`r_dynamicGlowBloom`

rend2

Needs review. The inventory/provenance evidence is recorded, but some behavior, options, or attribution still lacks a direct user-facing source.

Controls the rend2 dynamic-glow bloom strength. Zero skips the bloom pass; positive values up to the enforced maximum of 2 are passed to the high-pass shader as bloom strength.

Dated project introductions

Authored dates come from the exact registration’s first content commit, PR dates identify when work was proposed to each project, and integration dates come from each first-parent mainline. A project merging first does not override earlier upstream authorship or submission.
