+The `/api/state` shader list uses the same support rules as runtime shader compilation and reports only packages this app can run today. Unsupported manifest feature sets such as temporal, feedback, and texture-backed shaders are hidden from the control UI for now.
 
 Runtime shaders are exposed through `RuntimeLayerModel` as display layers with manifest parameter definitions, current parameter values, build status, and render-ready artifacts. POST controls mutate this app-owned model and may start background shader builds when the selected shader changes.
