A native pack named by HORIZON_SHADER_PACK (a folder with horizon-shaders.toml
or a .hshader in shaderpacks/) is checked, then its post passes run over the
world's own target, the one a shaders/ pack reads: no second target and no
extra pass, and without a pack the frame only tests one Option. The pack is
looked at twice a second; a saved file is checked and rebuilt in place, and a
version that fails is refused in the chat while the last good one keeps
drawing.

The SDK's tool, in horizon-shader-api: `horizon-shader new <dir> --template
post|sky|material` makes a pack that passes the check, `check <pack>...
[--json]` runs the check the game, the launcher and the registry run and
prints each stage's cost and the pack's SHA-256 or every problem at its
file:line:column, and `pack <dir>` checks then writes the reproducible
.hshader. Golden Hour, the example pack, warms the sky around a low sun and
adds a soft glow and a colour grade, with five options. docs/shaders.md is the
authors' guide.
