Description

should go in /en/robust-toolbox/netcode

old docs site had a page for PVS, but this was mostly a scratchpad for expounding on ideas for paulvs, which isn't super helpful as actual documentation

should include

  • what PVS is and why it exists
  • info on chunking & data structures within
  • info on how to use pvs override / visibility masks

Research direction

Start in /en/robust-toolbox/netcode and review the existing PVS material and nearby netcode documentation. Document what PVS is and why it exists, how chunking and its data structures work, and how to use PVS override and visibility masks. Done means the page provides practical documentation rather than a scratchpad of ideas.
