/**
 * @class RootGraphicsBuffer
 * @brief Root container for GPU buffer lifecycle management and batch processing
 *
 * RootGraphicsBuffer serves as the organizational hub for graphics buffers in a processing
 * domain. Unlike RootAudioBuffer which accumulates and mixes sample data, RootGraphicsBuffer
 * focuses on:
 * - Managing the lifecycle of VKBuffer instances (GPU resources)
 * - Coordinating batch processing across multiple GPU buffers
 * - Tracking active GPU resources for backend queries
 * - Providing cleanup mechanisms for marked buffers
 *
 * Key Differences from RootAudioBuffer:
 * - No data accumulation or mixing (each buffer is independent)
 * - No "final output" concept (buffers are consumed by shaders/dynamic rendering)
 * - Focuses on resource management and batch coordination
 * - Processing means executing BufferProcessor chains (uploads, compute, etc.)
 *
 * Token Compatibility:
 * - Primary Token: GRAPHICS_BACKEND (frame-rate, GPU, parallel)
 * - Compatible with GPU_PROCESS tokens for compute operations
 * - Not compatible with AUDIO_BACKEND tokens (different processing model)

 * @class PresentProcessor
 * @brief Final processor that executes render operations after all buffer processing
 *
 * PresentProcessor is designed to be set as the final processor of RootGraphicsBuffer.
 * It's invoked after all child buffer processing chains have completed, making it
 * the ideal point to:
 * - Record render commands using processed GPU buffers
 * - Coordinate rendering operations across multiple buffers
 * - Submit command buffers to GPU queues
 * - Present frames to the swapchain
 *
 * Design Philosophy:
 * - Callback-based for maximum flexibility
 * - Receives RootGraphicsBuffer with all processed child buffers
 * - No assumptions about rendering strategy (forward, deferred, etc.)
 * - Can query buffers by usage type for organized rendering
 *
 * Usage Pattern:
 * ```cpp
 * auto render_proc = std::make_shared<PresentProcessor>(
 *     [this](RootGraphicsBuffer* root) {
 *         // All buffers processed, ready for rendering
 *         auto vertex_bufs = root->get_buffers_by_usage(VKBuffer::Usage::VERTEX);
 *         auto uniform_bufs = root->get_buffers_by_usage(VKBuffer::Usage::UNIFORM);
 *
 *         // Record render commands
 *         record_render_pass(vertex_bufs, uniform_bufs);
 *
 *         // Submit and present
 *         submit_graphics_queue();
 *         present_frame();
 *     }
 * );
 *
 * root_graphics_buffer->set_final_processor(render_proc);
 * ```
 *
 * Token Compatibility:
 * - Primary Token: GRAPHICS_BACKEND
 * - Executes at frame rate (after all GPU buffer processing)
 * - Should NOT perform heavy CPU computations (rendering coordination only)
