+ * capture-host.js — THE CAPTURE-HOST KIND: a stage executor that runs REMOTELY.
+ *
+ * Peer of `capture.js` in this directory (the tap MECHANISM) and deliberately narrower:
+ * `capture.js` owns dispatch, throw rules and provenance for stages this process can
+ * execute; a CAPTURE HOST executes a stage in ANOTHER process — a managed headless
+ * browser running the real render stack — and hands back a bag that was already
+ * normalized THERE. This file is the contract that makes that safe: the KIND's shape,
+ * the ONE boundary codec, and the verification that proves the two processes are
+ * talking about the SAME scene.
+ *
+ * Contract: RENDERER_CONTRACT §9 (the capture-host KIND) and
+ * §10.3 (the normalized format this ferries).
+ *
+ * ── Why a distinct KIND and not a provider-shaped adapter (V3) ──────────────────
+ *
+ * A `RendererProvider` adapter would have been the tempting shape: implement
+ * `captureStill()` in node, forward to the browser, let the local dispatcher stamp the
+ * provenance. It is WRONG, and not by taste — the local process has none of the facts
+ * the provenance is made of. It has no tick (the world is in the page), no pose (the
+ * camera is in the page), no ordered filter list, no render options, no canvas dims. A
+ * provider-shaped adapter would therefore have had to INVENT them, which is the
+ * caller-supplied-provenance anti-pattern at industrial scale: a corpus row that looks
+ * fully stamped and is fiction.
+ *
+ * So the KIND inverts the arrow. **The IN-PAGE dispatcher stamps everything** (it is a
+ * real `FrqtlCapture` over a real loop and a real provider — the ONE authority, the same
+ * code the browser user runs), and the node side's job is not to stamp but to VERIFY:
+ * every still it hands back must carry the SAME scene identity the node side computed
+ * independently. Measured fidelity, not trust.
+ *
+ * ── The KIND (what an implementation must be) ─────────────────────────────────
+ *
+ *   {
+ *     kind:       'capture-host',              // the KIND tag — asserted, never inferred
+ *     stages:     string[],                    // stages this executor executes REMOTELY
+ *     identity():  { build, projection },      // SYNC — resolved once at open()
+ *     capture(stage): Promise<Still>,          // a FULLY NORMALIZED bag, stamped remotely
+ *     record(opts): Promise<VideoEnvelope>,    // FrqtlVision.record, run where the world is
+ *                                              // (opts.signal aborts it across the boundary)
+ *     dispose():   Promise<void>               // symmetric with whatever open() acquired
+ *   }
+ *
+ * `record` FORWARDS to the one recorder, `FrqtlVision.record`, running in the host's page
+ * over its own runner — the tick listener, the hold, the stills and the encoder are all
+ * there. The host adds no recording logic; the node side re-validates the returned envelope
+ * against its owner and VERIFIES its scene (`verifyVideo`), exactly as it verifies a still.
+ *
+ * `identity()` is SYNCHRONOUS on purpose: `sceneRecord()` builds its record from live
+ * field reads and only its HASH is async, so an async identity read here would have
+ * forced the record build itself to become async and rippled through every caller. An
+ * implementation resolves the page's `build`/`projection` during its own async `open()`
+ * and serves them from a field afterwards — they cannot change within a run anyway
+ * (§10.3: the display provider is boot-fixed).
+ *
+ * ── a.3 · identity convergence (the finding that would have split every corpus row) ──
+ *
+ * As-built, a node-side identity carries `build: {engine:null, renderer:null, …}` and
+ * `projection: null`, because those are derived from BROWSER boot authorities that do not
+ * exist in node. The page's identity carries the real ones. Two different records ⇒ two
+ * different hashes ⇒ EVERY hosted row would have declared a different scene than the
+ * browser row of the same scene, silently, forever.
+ *
+ * The fix is structural, not a comparison relaxation: attaching a host EXTENDS the node
+ * identity with the page-resolved `build`/`projection` (`capture.js` reads them through
+ * the attached host), so the two records are equal BY CONSTRUCTION and the hash check is
+ * a real check rather than a tautology waiting to be loosened. What remains genuinely
+ * node-owned — `seed`, `sourceRef` — is what the host must make the page agree to (it boots
+ * with `?seed=` and registers the source ref), and `diffSceneRecords` below names any survivor
+ * by field. The physics bounds are a boot RESULT: the scene's co-init call writes them, the
+ * host reads them back from the page, and a caller's stated bounds are an EXPECTATION.
+ *
+ * ── Layer 2: physics behaviour ───────────────────────────────────────────────
+ * ZERO physics. This is the output boundary, in two processes instead of one. Nothing
+ * here touches a frame, a dimension, a tick or an op-program, and the node side never
+ * drives a clock: the page's own loop is the tick authority (a second clock across a
+ * process boundary is the two-clocks bug with network latency added).
