Related: isu issues 305 and 393.\n\nThis pass changed raster image upload/sampling to use level-0 textures with a linear sampler instead of generated Metal mipmaps. The change improves the deterministic same-cache Bing comparison, but it is not enough to remove the xfail from crates/e2e/scenarios/real-web/bing.com.we.\n\nRepro:\n  cargo run -p we-e2e -- --scenario crates/e2e/scenarios/real-web/bing.com.we --out-dir crates/e2e/artifacts\n\nCurrent committed-golden failure after this change:\n- desktop L147: 4.87% match (1168640/1228500 px differ, tol=4, max_diff=0.1000%)\n- mobile L161: 5.17% match (312150/329160 px differ, tol=4, max_diff=0.1000%)\n\nThe committed Chromium goldens are still stale relative to the Sichuan Tea offline snapshot; that remains tracked by isu issue 305.\n\nUseful same-cache Chromium comparison after this change:\n- desktop vs crates/e2e/artifacts/real-web/bing.com/desktop.scenario-cache.chromium.png: 80.53% match (239245/1228500 px differ at tolerance 4)\n- mobile vs crates/e2e/artifacts/real-web/bing.com/mobile.scenario-cache.chromium.png: 82.09% match (58940/329160 px differ at tolerance 4)\n\nThis improves the previous text-shadow pass numbers recorded in isu issue 391 (desktop 76.98%, mobile 74.94%), but the same-cache gap is still dominated by Bing carousel/lower-content placement and residual text/raster differences. The mid-background photo region is now close to Chromium; the remaining parity work should focus on the bottom rail/card layout and UI/text raster differences.\n\nArtifacts:\n- crates/e2e/artifacts/real-web/bing.com/desktop.png\n- crates/e2e/artifacts/real-web/bing.com/desktop.png.diff.png\n- crates/e2e/artifacts/real-web/bing.com/mobile.png\n- crates/e2e/artifacts/real-web/bing.com/mobile.png.diff.png\n- crates/e2e/artifacts/real-web/bing.com/desktop.scenario-cache.chromium.png\n- crates/e2e/artifacts/real-web/bing.com/mobile.scenario-cache.chromium.png\n\nAcceptance: after isu issue 305 rebaselines the committed references, continue reducing the deterministic same-cache layout/raster gap until bing.com.we can remove its # xfail marker and pass both screenshot assertions within the default threshold.",
