+ * It was `VgaiSceneGameAdapter` until WO-9 tasks #6/#9. Both halves of that
+ * name had stopped being true: it loads no scene (the `.vscn.json` branches
+ * went with the format in WO-8 — `setup` is the only mount path left), and what
+ * it mounts is one three ROOT, not a game (a game is the manifest's whole set
+ * of roots). The R3F/TSX world root is a SEPARATE adapter; this one is
+ * specifically the `fromSetup` path.
  *
  * `GameSetupFn` / `GameContext` are imported ONLY here (and in the example
  * `fromSetup` wrappers) — never by the host. That confinement is the inversion.
