+ * **What a recording holds is the frame's draws as the renderer would have recorded them**, taken
+ * from a pool of the list's instead of the frame graph's: a pipeline, a bind group, vertex buffers
+ * and four dynamic offsets each. Three of the four never change once recorded — the draw's own
+ * slot in `entries`, written once, and its material's slot in the store, pinned. The other two are
+ * the view's: the pass block and the view block, which differ between the frame, a mirror and a
+ * capture of the same frame. So each view a frame draws the list into takes a *copy* — a slot of
+ * `passes` and one of `views`, written for that view — and a bundle is encoded per copy from the
+ * same commands with that copy's two offsets. A frame that draws a list twice uploads two blocks
+ * and executes two bundles, and records nothing.
+ *
+ * **Its own buffers, and bind groups over them.** A bundle bakes the buffers its groups bind, and
+ * the frame's rings are reset every frame, so a list binds rings of its own: the renderer swaps
+ * them in while it records the list's draws, and the groups that recording builds go into the
+ * list's cache rather than the frame's.

+ * **Recorded again when what it baked has moved**: the renderer's groups (a texture forgotten, a
+ * frame texture rebound, a ring grown), the pipeline cache's lit set, the store's slots, or the
+ * list's own rings. Each is a number compared at replay, so a stale recording is never replayed.
