[1.0.0] - 2026-09-06

Added

• Variant counting from parsed #pragma multi_compile / shader_feature directives, per pass.
• Separate reporting of the always-compiled count and the material-strippable count, so the effect of losing material context is visible as a number.
• Seven rules (URP001-URP007) covering Always Included Shaders, high-variant shaders, dominant keyword sets, Resources materials, unnarrowed shader_feature keywords, and a project total.
• Estimated variant reduction attached to each finding.
• Editor window under Window > Analysis > URP Shader Variant Auditor.
• Batch mode entry point TechAthletes.VariantAuditor.VariantAuditCli.Run with -auditOutput and -auditFailOn, exiting 2 on failure for CI gating.
• Markdown and JSON report output.
• Upper-bound reporting from the shader keyword space for shaders with no readable source.
• Build log reader: -auditBuildLog <path>, and a Build log... button in the editor window, reads Unity's own four-rung ladder out of a previous build and shows the measured numbers beside the estimates.
• URP008: keyword sets still at full size because the pipeline is configured to use them.
• Demo scene sample.

Notes

• dynamic_branch keywords are not counted as variants; they become runtime branches inside one program, which is the reason to use the directive.
• #pragma skip_variants is honoured, and a set reduced to one state stops contributing.
• Only the first SubShader is counted. Later SubShaders are hardware fallbacks and one is selected per build target, so summing them would multiply the count by the number of fallbacks.
• Estimates are upper bounds. The measured gap against a real build is published in the README and in Documentation~/index.md rather than left for the buyer to discover.
