**RELEASED:** Improve the shader’s visual transitions and overall polish, with smooth, naturally blended Sun and Moon transitions as the highest priority.
**
Sun & Moon Transitions**
- Smoothly blend the Sun → sunset → Moon → sunrise → Sun cycle.
- Remove any sudden changes, popping, flickering, or visible color/lighting jumps during transitions.
- Make the Sun gradually fade in/out rather than disappearing abruptly.
- Make the Moon gradually appear and disappear according to the time of day.
- Smoothly interpolate sky color, ambient lighting, fog, shadows, and celestial brightness during sunrise and sunset.
- Ensure the transition feels continuous and natural, especially around the horizon.
- Do not create an obvious hard boundary between daytime and nighttime lighting.
**Visual Improvements**
- Improve the overall sky color blending throughout the day/night cycle.
- Make sunrise and sunset visually richer without making them excessively saturated.
- Improve moonlight integration so nighttime lighting feels natural and consistent.
- Keep clouds, fog, shadows, and atmospheric effects visually consistent during time-of-day transitions.
- Improve lighting consistency between daylight, sunset, twilight, and nighttime.
- Reduce any flickering, shimmering, abrupt exposure changes, or temporal instability.
- Preserve the shader's existing visual style rather than replacing it with a completely different look.
