+/**
+ * render-live.ts — headless capture + toon post-pass + real video encode for the
+ * Cartoon Studio LIVE 3D render route (`src/render-live-route.ts`).
+ *
+ * Pipeline (every stage touches real bytes — nothing is faked):
+ *  1. Serve the `live-route.html` route with a real Vite dev server.
+ *  2. Drive it with Playwright (Chromium, WebGL2). Wait for the route's
+ *     `__AURA_LIVE_ROUTE_READY__` proof, then call its `__auraSeek__(time)` hook
+ *     at N distinct animation times. Each seek poses BOTH skinned GLB skeletons
+ *     and renders one frame; we read the canvas back as raw RGBA pixels
+ *     (gl.readPixels via a 2D copy → ImageData), so the captured bytes are the
+ *     actual rendered, skinned characters.
+ *  3. Apply the REAL toon treatment from `@aura3d/rendering` (monorepo source):
+ *     - band-quantize each pixel's luma with `quantizeToonBand` (the exact cel
+ *       math the CartoonToonMaterial GLSL mirrors), giving posterized shading,
+ *     - run the Sobel `outlinePixels` ink pass + `colorGradePixels` storybook
+ *       grade that `applyCartoonRenderPreset` prescribes.
+ *  4. Save the 4 representative frames as PNGs named for the fidelity gate
+ *     (first/dialogue/action/final) AND encode ALL frames into a real
+ *     `episode-3d.webm` via `createFfmpegFrameEncoderAdapter` (libvpx-vp9).
+ *
+ * IMPORTANT — run this from the MONOREPO ROOT so `@aura3d/rendering` /
+ * `@aura3d/engine` resolve to the SOURCE build (which ships CartoonToonMaterial +
+ * the cartoon shader/post-passes). The template's own published `@aura3d/engine`
+ * lacks those exports; the in-browser route only needs the renderer + skinning,
+ * which the published build DOES have. Invoke as:
+ *   pnpm exec tsx --tsconfig tsconfig.base.json \
+ *     packages/create-aura3d/templates/cartoon-studio/scripts/render-live.ts
