// D-059: 3-state fog shader (simplified from 5-layer by #569).
// State 1: Clear (forward cone) — transparent, soft Gaussian gradient edge (6-8 tile spread)
// State 2: Explored (out of cone, EXP_EXPLORED) — two sub-zones by vis proximity:
//   a) Light fog (near cone gradient): alpha 0.25-0.35, neutral dark, 8-10s breathe
//   b) Deep fog (far from cone, vis≈0): alpha 0.55-0.70, zone temperature tint, 15-20s breathe
// State 3: Unexplored — solid near-black #12141a
// D-033: Entity colors are NOT affected — they render above the fog overlay (z-layer 5).
// D-046: Zone temperature tint from zone_tint_tex — warm=bar, cool=hub, neutral=corridor.
// D-077: zone_tint_tex populated per-tile from server zone_id via fog_state.gd.
