-      * Instantiate an object across the network. See also {@link syncDestroy}.
+      * Instantiate an object across the network. The object is cloned locally and a network message

+      * via room state replay (unless `deleteOnDisconnect` is set or `save` is false).
+      *
+      * ## How it works internally
+      * 1. The prefab is cloned locally using a seeded {@link InstantiateIdProvider}
+      * 2. The seed ensures all clients generate **identical deterministic guids** for the clone
+      *    and all its children — no need to send individual guids over the network
+      * 3. A {@link NewInstanceModel} message is sent containing the prefab's `originalGuid`,
+      *    the clone's `guid`, the `seed`, and transform data
+      * 4. On receiving clients, the prefab is resolved via {@link registerPrefabProvider} or
+      *    by searching the scene for an object with matching guid, then cloned with the same seed
+      *
+      * ## Runtime-created prefabs (no GLB)
+      * If the object has a `guid` but no prefab provider is registered for it, `syncInstantiate`
+      * will **auto-register** the object as a prefab provider. This means for code-only prefabs
+      * you just need to set a `guid` — no manual `registerPrefabProvider` call needed, as long as
+      * all clients run the same setup code that creates the same prefab with the same guid.
+      *
+      * @param object The object to instantiate. Must have a `guid` property (set one for runtime objects).
+      * @param opts Options for the instantiation, including the network context to send the instantiate event to
+      * @param hostData Optional data about a file to download when this object is instantiated (e.g. when instantiated via file drop)
+      * @param save When false, the state of this instance will not be saved in the networking backend. Default is true.
+      * @returns The instantiated object, or null if instantiation failed (e.g. missing guid or network context)
+      * @see {@link syncDestroy} - Destroy objects across the network
+      * @see {@link onSyncInstantiate} - Register a callback to get references to remotely instantiated objects
+      * @see {@link registerPrefabProvider} - Manually register a prefab provider (auto-registered by syncInstantiate)
+      * @see {@link unregisterPrefabProvider} - Remove a registered prefab provider
       * @category Networking
+      *
+      * @example Basic usage with a runtime-created prefab
+      * ```ts
+      * const cookie = ObjectUtils.createPrimitive("Cube", { color: 0xff8c00 });
+      * cookie.guid = "cookie-prefab";
+      * // No need to call registerPrefabProvider — syncInstantiate auto-registers it
+      * syncInstantiate(cookie, { parent: ctx.scene, deleteOnDisconnect: false });

+      * const instance = syncInstantiate(prefab, { context, idProvider });
+      * ```
