+/**
+ * AVBOIT against MBOIT on the deck's own test case: a stack of near-opaque cards whose depth
+ * separation is a control, plus a tinted glass pane and an opaque surface pushed through the
+ * transparency pipeline, over an opaque backdrop.
+ *
+ * What to look for (deck slides 35–45 and 86–92):
+ *
+ *  - With `alpha` near 1 and a few units of spacing, the front card should hide everything behind
+ *    it. MBOIT is not depth-complexity invariant and lets the cards behind bleed through as the stack
+ *    deepens; AVBOIT should not, because each card lands in its own slice.
+ *  - As `spacing` drops toward zero the cards share a slice and AVBOIT degrades to weighted
+ *    blending — the "frequency soup" the deck describes. The spacing at which that starts is the
+ *    slice thickness at that depth, and the adaptive warp is what keeps it small.
+ *  - The glass pane tints what is behind it under AVBOIT (per-channel transmittance) once
+ *    "tint transmitted light by base colour" is on — `renderer.avboit.transmission_tint_from_base_color`,
+ *    off by default so the three modes agree on what the material means — and never under MBOIT
+ *    or the tracer, which have no per-channel transmission.
+ *  - The "opaque quad, transparent material" is the deck's own fail case for moments (slides 35–38):
+ *    an alpha-1 surface pushed through the transparency pipeline. Both pipelines clamp coverage at
+ *    0.997, so it should read as opaque, with a hard edge against whatever is behind it. Moments
+ *    smear that step — the surface leaks what is behind it and its edges tear where the depth
+ *    jumps — while a voxel slice holds it.
+ *  - "path traced (reference)" hands the frame to the accumulating path tracer, which rolls each
+ *    transparent hit against its alpha and so converges to the exact order-independent answer for
+ *    the card stack. It has no per-channel transmission tint, so for the glass pane it is a
+ *    reference for the Fresnel coverage only, not for the tint (see the README).
+ *
+ * The camera orbits (drag), zooms (wheel) and pans (right drag); its state copies to the clipboard
+ * as JSON and pastes back, so a view that shows something can be handed over exactly. A GPU profile
+ * recording downloads an `.sgpt` capture the gpu-inspector-tool reads.
+ *
+ * The camera, its controller and every control are wired *before* the device is requested, so on
+ * a browser with no adapter the page still orbits and copies its camera — which is also what lets
+ * the input path be exercised where the renderer cannot run.
+ *
+ * `npm run dev`, then `/src/shade/playground/avboit/`. Everything is also reachable from the console
+ * as `renderer`, `scene`, `camera`, `controller`, `configure(settings)`, `camera_state()`,
+ * `apply_camera(state)`, `compile_check()`, `start_profile()` and `stop_profile()`.
