Description

Currently, we have this script. It should be reimplemented right in the renderer to be native to it, thus making it easy to maintain, when we introduce new shader options.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing compile.py script to understand the shader compilation pipeline. Then explore the renderer's shader code and design a native offline compiler that can be invoked as part of the build process. Focus on integrating with the existing shader system without breaking runtime compilation.
