+## Repeat geometry with instances

+Pass each mesh once and reference its ID from `instances`. This shares geometry,
+material textures and each mesh's acceleration structure across placements:

+import { createWavefrontPathTracingComputeRenderer } from "@plasius/gpu-renderer";

+```
+
+Transforms are invertible column-major affine matrices, including nonuniform
+scale and reflection. Every supplied mesh needs an instance; IDs must be unique
+within their respective mesh/instance lists. The initial instance path supports
+static non-emissive meshes with CPU acceleration construction. Unsupported
+emissive instances or GPU acceleration requests fail explicitly.
+
+`memoryBudgetBytes` limits renderer-owned resource storage. Admission also checks
+individual device limits. `getSnapshot().allocations` reports current/peak bytes
+and individual buffers/textures, including refinement and denoising resources.
+These are requested allocation sizes, not a measurement of free VRAM or driver
+residency. A larger instance count adds transforms and scene-index nodes without
+multiplying the underlying geometry. Large buffer uploads use bounded sequential
+staging to reduce temporary upload pressure. Recreate the runtime to replace instances.
