Forward Windows NGX project identity and validate frontend native network use

 | M8: standalone Windows D3D12 NGX harness | PASS for ordinary recorded EvaluateFeature and explicit boundaries: K/M, four frames each, no shim CPU image copies; both bit-exact against explicit boundary baselines |
 | M9: OptiScaler integration, profiling, installation | Pending |
 
+## Public NGX identity and OptiScaler gate (2026-10-01)
+
+The Windows shim now implements D3D12 GetFeatureRequirements and forwards
+Init_ProjectID to CUDA Init_ProjectID with the caller's project/engine/version.
+The runtime owns the feature path strings and pointer list. The physical HIP
+gfx1201 architecture and full DXGI adapter LUID determine SR support; other
+features remain unsupported. Numeric driver initialization retains the tested
+three-argument CUDA Init ABI. `-NgxAbi project` selects the public project path
+in both CUDA and D3D12 probes. Capability parameter allocation is transactional.
+
+`ngx-project-api.zip` passes direct CUDA project initialization.
+`d3d12-k-project-api.zip` and `d3d12-m-project-api.zip` pass four recorded
+enhanced-barrier packed-format frames with 44 K / 40 M native launches.
+All RGB values exactly match the independently quantised earlier baselines,
+max absolute/relative error 0. Full rebuild and CTest pass 16/16 gates
+(`project-api-ctest.log`).
+
+The runner now accepts `-OptiScalerDll <absolute-path>`, creates a private
+OptiScaler.ini and captures the frontend log. Native-network hit validation is
+mandatory for the integration runs. The official 0.9.4 release silently chose
+FSR despite DLSS=enabled on AMD: `optiscaler-m-first.zip` is correctly **FAIL**
+with zero native launches. Current nightly 20261001 also gates DLSS on a
+System32 NVIDIA driver; preloading our NVAPI triggered access violation
+0xc0000005 in its loader hooks (`optiscaler-m-nightly-first.zip`). This is not
+a DLSS success. The probe no longer preloads NVAPI before OptiScaler startup.
+Crash capture avoids module resource enumeration in the exception filter,
+guards reentrancy and records the minidump's module list instead.
+
+A local OptiScaler source fork starts from
+`45a2001303ddff632e279f77aef85ceede5832cb`. Its explicit
+`[DLSS] AllowExternalBackend=true` option requires an absolute NvngxPath with
+the `d4r_WindowsBackendVersion` ABI-1 marker; it does not spoof HIP architecture.
+The marker is GPU-free and safe during discovery. The pending patch also lets
+the external backend load its own NVAPI provider through the original loader.
+This source integration has not yet passed the frontend harness.
