No Hardware ray tracing for WebGPU means patching the Dawn, Tint, and Blink engines in Chromium. That requires deep browser graphics and compiler expertise and works at a scale vibe coding can't handle.
What it would actually take: A real version requires adding acceleration-structure building and traversal to Dawn's Vulkan, D3D12, and Metal backends, plus WGSL ray-query support in Tint's IR and codegen. It needs graphics-driver and GPU architecture knowledge, familiarity with the Chromium build and review process, and extensive testing across hardware.
