This has the unfortunate side effect of requiring you to use an uncompressed texture as you can't use compressed formats in a render texture. This means that when you create a resource via the RenderGraph API, the render graph system does not create the resource at that time. The side of the polygon that has the blue line is the side that Unity will render. Usually, a back face is not lit in a typical physical based shader as the face normal points away from the light source so that the result of the light calculation for the effect on the surface is below zero, and a face normal can not point in 2 directions at once. Just turning culling off with screw up your lighting (as the lighting uses the normals and they will face the wrong way) and if you create a 2 pass shader you will end up with un-needed extra draw calls.
