Laminar v1.2.5 - Performance Issue Patch

This release introduces critical low-level optimizations to client-side memory management, config-driven bypasses, and GPU execution parameters.

1. Integration & Configuration:

• Aligned the configuration system's boolean logic. Disabling the acoustic occlusion feature from laminar.json now completely bypasses all custom real-time audio modifications, restoring native game performance with zero execution overhead.

2. Memory & Performance Optimizations:

• Resolved a framerate drop that occurred when facing geometry-dense areas such as coastlines. The root cause was memory bus contention on unified graphics hardware caused by the audio voxel scan writing directly to GPU-mapped memory during active rendering. The scan now writes to a CPU-side intermediate buffer first, then transfers to GPU memory in a single operation after the scan completes.
• Pre-defined the local workgroup size to 256 for the core GPU pipelines. This minimizes driver-level scheduling overhead on the CPU and accelerates asynchronous queue dispatches on the iGPU.
• Restructured 3D coordinate mapping and introduced local chunk caching. This reduces horizontal array lookups in Java, maintaining high hardware cache coherency.
• Streamlined the voxel scan hot-loops by utilizing fast, inlined block property checks to optimize the JVM's JIT compilation path and skip redundant collision shape calculations on empty voxel states.
