To add a new renderer to the render pipeline, implement a FrameRenderer component or overlay decorator while strictly avoiding modifications to core modules. This approach ensures safe integration and consistent rendering outputs without mutating the source frame.

Handle BGR to RGB color space conversion by applying the correct color transformation logic before passing data to RenderFrame sinks. This ensures accurate color representation across different output modes within the rendering pipeline.

Debug an ASCII renderer in a C++ bridge environment by isolating the C++ bridge integration logic and verifying the spatial iteration engine configuration. Use targeted debugging techniques to trace frame rendering issues across the Python and C++ boundary.

An overlay decorator is a rendering pattern used to visualize perception data on top of an existing frame. You need it when adding new output modes to visualize landmarks or other data without mutating the original source frame.

Yes, you must read AGENT_RULES.md and activate the spatial-iteration-engine conda environment before attempting any build or test. Following these requirements ensures proper environment setup and adherence to development standards.

A landmarks overlay renderer mutates the source frame if the implementation directly modifies the input buffer instead of applying an overlay decorator. Use the decorator pattern to visualize perception data while preserving the original frame data.
