+// Bundle a single Babylon-Lite lab scene into one self-contained IIFE "classic"
+// script that a standalone V8 JS engine (the BabylonNative Playground on the
+// NativeDawn/WebGPU backend) can load with a plain XHR + eval -- no bundler, no
+// HTTP server, no ESM/code-splitting.
+//
+// The official Babylon-Lite build (`pnpm build:bundle-scenes`) emits ESM with
+// code-splitting, which the Playground's classic loader can't consume. This
+// script re-bundles the same scene entry (e.g. lab/lite/src/lite/scene1.ts)
+// against the prebuilt library (packages/babylon-lite/build/lib) as a single
+// minified IIFE, inlining every dynamic import.
+//
+// Prerequisites (run in the Babylon-Lite clone first):
+//   pnpm install
+//   pnpm build:lib          # produces packages/babylon-lite/build/lib
+//   pnpm add -D -w esbuild   # make esbuild resolvable
+//
+// Usage (cwd = Babylon-Lite clone, so `esbuild` resolves from its node_modules):
+//   pnpm exec node <path>/bundle-lite-scene.mjs <cloneDir> <scene> <outFile>
+//   e.g. pnpm exec node .../bundle-lite-scene.mjs . scene1 ./scene1.playground.js

+// Loads a single-file Babylon-Lite scene bundle (an IIFE "classic" script built
+// from the Babylon-Lite repo -- see .github/scripts/bundle-lite-scene.mjs), lets
+// it render to #renderCanvas via WebGPU, waits for the bundle's readiness signal

+// startEngine()), then captures the framebuffer and pixel-compares it against a
+// committed reference image.

+// The bundle is self-contained (it inlines all of Babylon-Lite), so this harness
+// does NOT load babylon.max.js -- it only needs the native TestUtils API plus the
+// NativeDawn-provided navigator.gpu / DOM canvas / requestAnimationFrame.
