/// Draws `commands` into an offscreen buffer and hands back the pixels as premultiplied RGBA8888
/// (`[R, G, B, A]` per pixel, row-major, `width * height * 4` bytes), or `None` if the size is empty or the
/// frame failed to render.
///
/// The fourth answer alongside [`crate::try_run_test`], [`crate::run_preview_window`] and
/// [`crate::run_preview_png`], and the lowest-level one: no [`crate::App`], no layout pass, no platform event
/// loop — just draw commands in, pixels out. For the caller that has already composed a few
/// [`DrawCommand`]s and needs a raw buffer to hand to something else: a compositor drag icon, a tray or
/// notification image, a texture atlas, a golden-image assertion over hand-built commands.
///
/// `commands` are expected pre-scaled, exactly as the software backend takes them on screen; `scale` is
/// reported to the backend but does not transform them. `clear_color` of `None` leaves the background fully
/// transparent.
///
/// The backing renderer is cached per thread and resized as needed, so calling this in a loop pays for the
/// text shaper once.
