+ * Like the Protein and unlike the Canvas 3D viewport, it draws **one subject**

+ * things about it are worth knowing before reading the parts:
+ *
+ * **The map is a texture, drawn in 2D.** See `world-map.ts`: a WebGL line
+ * ignores any width above one pixel, so borders drawn as 3D lines are hairlines
+ * forever. Baked, a border is an ordinary Skia stroke at any weight.
+ *
+ * **That texture is cached against its style, and the cache is not an
+ * optimisation.** motion-script re-rasterizes a surface every frame unless the
+ * descriptor says otherwise, and re-rasterizing this one means redrawing ten
+ * thousand paths, stalling on a GPU read-back and re-uploading a few megabytes —
+ * sixty times a second, for an identical image. {@link bakedMap} holds one
+ * descriptor per style and marks it `static`; the schema then refuses to animate
+ * any field that style is made of, so an export cannot mint a raster per frame.
+ *
+ * **The camera is three tweenable numbers, and two of them are places.** `orbit`
+ * is a longitude and `elevation` is a latitude — see `projection.ts`, which is
+ * where that convention is established and defended. There is no `OrbitControls`
+ * here for the reason the other 3D nodes have none: a rendered timeline has no
+ * pointer, and every frame has to be reproducible under scrubbing and export.
+ *
+ * **Markers and arcs are real 3D, never baked.** They are the animated content;
+ * putting them in the texture would run every frame of a marker's fade through a
+ * full re-rasterize.
