/**
 * @class DescriptorBuffer
 * @brief Specialized buffer for shader parameter bindings from nodes
 *
 * Binds node outputs to shader uniforms and storage buffers.
 * Designed for parameterizing shaders with live data: time, frequencies,
 * control values, arrays, matrices, etc.
 *
 * Philosophy:
 * - Shaders are controlled by DATA, not hardcoded values
 * - Any node can drive any shader parameter
 * - Cross-domain flow: audio nodes → visual shader parameters
 *
 * Usage:
 *   ShaderProcessorConfig config;
 *   config.shader_path = "parametric.comp";
 *   config.bindings = {
 *       {"time", {.binding = 0, .type = vk::DescriptorType::eUniformBuffer}},
 *       {"spectrum", {.binding = 1, .type = vk::DescriptorType::eStorageBuffer}}
 *   };
 *
 *   auto buffer = std::make_shared<DescriptorBuffer>(config);
 *   buffer->bind_scalar("time", time_node, "time");
 *   buffer->bind_vector("spectrum", fft_node, "spectrum");
 *
 *   auto compute = std::make_shared<ComputeProcessor>(config);
 *   buffer->add_processor(compute) | Graphics;
