Provenance

Origin: rend2

Ultimate-origin introduction: be28b4edd6c7 in rend2 (content authored 2013-10-08, integrated 2023-10-03)
TaystJK integration evidence: c4a9c87ef0e3
Upstream registration evidence: codemp/rd-rend2/tr_init.cpp:1504
Attribution method: introduction-commit-explicit-credit
Attribution confidence: high
Notes: rend2 retains origin because content authorship and PR submission predate the project that merged the work first. The TaystJK integration evidence credits vulkan as an immediate port source, but rend2 has an earlier dated introduction and remains the ultimate origin. Dated commit evidence identifies later registration changes relative to the origin snapshot.

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.

Immediate port-source credit: Vulkan. The earlier dated project remains the ultimate origin.

Later changes

These commits occur after the ultimate-origin introduction on TaystJK’s inherited first-parent lineage. Registration evidence is exact; behavior evidence requires a changed bound cvar reference or a changed registered command-handler hunk.
