Technical notes

• Built with Three.js (3D scene) and a shared JSON descriptor phone controller.
• The game uses the Stage pattern (TowerDefStage in frontend/js/stages/towerDefStage.js).
• Towers and enemies are currently procedural Three.js primitives, not GLTF models.
• Verified via Playwright with a real host + 2 real controller browsers, real WebRTC join, and every action (settings, building, wave start) sent from the controller pages – see tests/tower-defense.spec.js.
