+//
+// PR3 needs a frame to map a resolved model point onto the sheet, but PR1 is
+// not visible from this branch. This is the minimal stand-in agreed in the
+// shared contract: paper_center = vp.center, model_target = vp.view_target,
+// scale = `vp_effective_scale`, twist = vp.twist_angle. PR1's version is
+// camera-derived (it must agree with what is actually drawn, including the
+// auto-fit rescue in `Scene::camera_for_viewport` for stale saved views).
+//
+// To merge: delete this whole block. Nothing else in PR3 reads viewport
+// fields directly — every call goes through `Scene::viewport_frame`.
