// VoxelNoise.h
// Float, SIMD-batched gradient-noise core (T2.a). Replaces UE's double-precision
// FMath::PerlinNoise3D on the density hot path (~6.6 ms/chunk was all noise math).
//
// WHY THIS EXISTS
//   FMath::PerlinNoise3D is double-precision with a permutation-table lookup. The
//   density field calls it >1M times per surface chunk (fBm octaves + domain warps).
//   This core is:
//     - FLOAT (no double math),
//     - table-free hash-gradient Perlin (pure arithmetic → vectorizes cleanly),
//     - SIMD-BATCHED across fBm octaves: one FractalNoise/Ridged call evaluates up to
//       4 octaves' Perlin samples in one 4-wide SSE pass.
//
//   It is a DIFFERENT noise field than FMath's, so worlds re-tune ONCE (accepted).
//
// DETERMINISM / CACHES
//   Perlin3D is a pure function of (x,y,z) exactly like the old call — every box-validity
//   cache (SDF §8.10, biome, surface column) stays valid. No invariant changes.
//
// SCALAR vs SIMD
//   Perlin3D (scalar) and Perlin3D_x4 (SSE) use the IDENTICAL formula, op-for-op, so on
//   x86 (SSE math == scalar-float math, same IEEE rounding) they produce bit-identical
//   results. The SSE path is therefore a pure speedup with no second re-tune. If it ever
//   fails to build on a given toolchain, force the scalar fallback with one line:
//       #define VF_NOISE_USE_SIMD 0   // (before including this header, or here)
//   The scalar path alone is still a large win over the old double-precision core.
//
// REQUIRES: SSE4.1 for the SIMD path (UE5 x64 baseline is SSE4.2 → always available).
