3 Bake Modes — Ambient Occlusion, Auto Sun (angle & altitude), or your own scene lights Prepare Shadow Mesh — Duplicates your selection, offsets normals, auto-UV unwraps, and sets up the bake material Resolution & Quality — 512 to 4096 with a half-res fast bake option, 64–2048 samples, denoise, and blur softening Firefly Clamping — Removes bright speckle noise from bakes Live Levels Adjustment — Invert, input/output black & white, and gamma — all update the preview instantly without re-baking Save When Ready — Adjustments stay in preview until you explicitly save to disk Sollumz Integration — Automatically assigns the decal_dirt shader and colour attribute after baking Smart Output Handling — Saves next to your .blend file by default, with a custom output folder option

The tool arrived in #4 with a good description on the pull request and nothing in the add-on's own documentation, where somebody using it would look. It has a page now: the three steps in the order the panel puts them, what each bake mode is actually for, and the one thing worth knowing before pressing anything - Levels do not re-bake, so the expensive half is paid once and the contrast is dialled in for free afterwards. The panel contract test knew nothing about it either. tests/panels.py asserts the exact list of tools under each section, so a new panel in Surface fails it until the list says so - that is the check doing its job, and the list now has Shadow Map Baker in it. @cs-dev-09 is credited for it in the three places the other contributions are: the Thank You block inside the add-on, the README, and the documentation's Thanks page.
