+// A first-person walk: `<FirstPersonCamera>` driving the scene camera from
+// WASD/arrows and the gamepad sticks, mouse look under pointer lock and
+// drag-to-look without it. Click the scene to lock the pointer (the scene
+// leaf takes focus on the same click, which routes the keys to the
+// control), Escape releases it; on a touch screen a drag looks around and
+// the left stick of a pad walks. Movement runs a frame loop only while a
+// key is held or a stick deflected - a still scene renders nothing new.
+// `clampPosition` keeps the walker inside the courtyard walls, the whole
+// of the collision an app gets from a camera control. The `pose` debug
+// command reads and sets the pose for headless checks.
