Improved UX For Device Tree and CVar Conditions
- Clean up Niagara Device Tree
- new bIsVisibleForAsssets value in device profiles to have them indicate which device profiles should be visible in other assets.
- Improved tooltips and colouring on device tree to better show what is enabled/disabled and why.
- Added tooltips for CVar conditions to text entry and suggestion boxes showing the CVar help text.
PlatformSet Redirect feature =
- Can redirect usage of device profiles to other device profiles or CVar conditions.
- Allows fixup of content referncing legacy device profiles.
- Adding CVar fx.Niagara.LegacyDeviceProfiles to facilitate some legacy DP fixup.
Platforms now specifiy a min & max Niagara Quality Level they support which reduces need for trawling ini files and allows fragments to set quality level.
CVar Conditions now have more control over what occurs when the condition is passed or failed. Previously they could only disable the set when the condition is failed which is now the default.
Misc Fixes
- Preview DP is cleared before restoring CVar states so CVar callbacks have the correct preview DP value.
- Data Driven CVars are now updated correctly when default is modified in project settings.
- Console Manager now has a callback when CVars are unregistered.
- Utility function for calling a functor on all platform sets in a Niagara system.
- Tweaked callbacks for CVar changes so updates are defered and also limited to only refresh things that references changed CVars.

- CHange PreviewAllowlistCvars (for Android and IOS) from None to sg. so that scalability groups can be previewed
- Fixed the PreviewAllowlistCVars/PreviewDenylistCVars value lookup to use the proper ConfigSystem instead of GConfig

Now only r.AntiAliasingMethod prevails to selects the anti-aliasing method explicitly for the deferred shading renderer. Each AA technic have it's own cvars to control their quality independently
FXAA now have its own r.FXAA.Quality. The FXAA shader permutations where mis configured with r.PostProcessAAQuality=1 & 2 both mapping to the FXAA_PC_CONSOLE=1 that is now r.FXAA.Quality=0. Instead r.FXAA.Quality now offer more mid-quality settings for FXAA_PC=1 with r.FXAA.Quality=1 & 2 & 3. Backward comaptible migration is as followed:
- r.AntiAliasingMethod=1 r.PostProcessAAQuality=0 -> r.FXAA.Quality=0
- r.AntiAliasingMethod=1 r.PostProcessAAQuality=1 -> r.FXAA.Quality=0
- r.AntiAliasingMethod=1 r.PostProcessAAQuality=2 -> r.FXAA.Quality=0
- r.AntiAliasingMethod=1 r.PostProcessAAQuality=3 -> r.FXAA.Quality=3 but with some neighborhood search setting changed in FXAAShader.usf
- r.AntiAliasingMethod=1 r.PostProcessAAQuality=4 -> r.FXAA.Quality=4
- r.AntiAliasingMethod=1 r.PostProcessAAQuality=5 -> r.FXAA.Quality=5
TAA now have its own r.TemporalAA.Quality. Backward compatible migration is as followed:
- r.AntiAliasingMethod=2 r.PostProcessAAQuality=0 -> r.AntiAliasingMethod=0
- r.AntiAliasingMethod=2 r.PostProcessAAQuality=1 -> r.AntiAliasingMethod=1 r.FXAA.Quality=0
- r.AntiAliasingMethod=2 r.PostProcessAAQuality=2 -> r.AntiAliasingMethod=1 r.FXAA.Quality=0
- r.AntiAliasingMethod=2 r.PostProcessAAQuality=3 r.TemporalAAUpsampleFiltered=0 -> r.TemporalAA.Quality=0
- r.AntiAliasingMethod=2 r.PostProcessAAQuality=3 r.TemporalAAUpsampleFiltered=1 -> r.TemporalAA.Quality=1
- r.AntiAliasingMethod=2 r.PostProcessAAQuality=4 -> r.TemporalAA.Quality=2
MSAA r.AntiAliasingMethod=3 & TSR r.AntiAliasingMethod=4 remains unchanged.
sg.AntiAliasingQuality now maps to different r.TemporalAA.Quality or r.FXAA.Quality

- Formalizing all TargetPlatforms to have a Client version, rename WindowsNoEditor to Windows, and removing DDPI specification of TargetPlatforms, and generate them programmatically
- Updated names DeviceProfiles and Build scripts, as above
- Some PlatformInfo class cleanup
- Added a TNonDesktopTargetPlatformBase class to make most TargetPlatforms simpler
- Added "No Compiled Support" to the Turnkey LaunchOn menu when the TargetPlatforms aren't compiled in (to show that even if you install an SDK, you will need to compile before you can LaunchOn)\
- Starting the transition away from PlatformInfo::FPlatformInfo to FDDPI
