Render Environment

[Ichthyostega]

As Lumiera developer,
I want a service context for "the Engine",
to anchor and access global services and control their lifecycle

design work through implementation refactoring

Many years ago, the type RenderEnvironment was created as empty placeholder, to expose some services (yet to be implemented) regarding timings, latency control and quality-of-service. These services are closely related to the idea of a Render configurator, that would be used when a new CalcStream is established.

Now (2/2026), while working on a problem with API design, related to the BufferProvider, I encountered the necessity to have an anchor point for the implementation facilities backing the EngineCtx
