Public Entity Map

Related value types share a concept page so their contracts are explained together. Follow the generated Python reference or Rust reference for every field, method and module path.

EffectParameter, Rust ParameterKind	Custom shaders: typed named values
RenderTarget, Rust EffectTarget	Custom shaders: intermediate storage
RenderPass, Rust PassSource, EffectPass, DrawSpec, DrawTopology, PassBlend	Custom shaders: pass graphs and geometry

Python does not mirror every Rust backend extension type. Its scene constructor takes specs/positions instead of exposing Scene and SceneIcon, and snapshot diagnostics return dictionaries instead of native planning structs.
