//! GPU skinning as a deformer-registry plugin.
//!
//! `SkinningPlugin::install` registers a linear-blend-skinning deformer body
//! against the mesh shader family and returns a handle. The handle holds the
//! assigned `DeformerId` and exposes `attach_weights` and `attach_palette`
//! for per-mesh and per-(mesh, instance) data uploads, plus
//! `is_skinned_mesh` so hosts can answer the "does this mesh have skinning
//! data attached" question without consulting the registry.
//!
//! The handle has a symmetric lifecycle: `install` -> `attach_weights` /
//! `attach_palette` (or the `begin_upload_weights` / event forms) ->
//! `detach_weights` / `detach_palette` for individual meshes, or `uninstall`
//! to reclaim every attached buffer at once. The deformer body stays
//! registered for the session (its slot is an append-only registry entry), so
//! re-installing after `uninstall` returns the same `DeformerId` at no cost.
//!
//! Hosts that do not need GPU skinning never call `install` and pay nothing.
//! Static meshes pay nothing either way: the per-object `deform_flags`
//! branch in the composed shader gates the LBS body off.
//!
//! `SkinningPlugin` is not a [`RuntimePlugin`](crate::RuntimePlugin); it is a
//! renderer-side upload handle. Pair it with
//! [`SkeletonPlugin`](crate::plugins::skeleton::SkeletonPlugin) or
//! [`SkinnedActorPlugin`](crate::plugins::skeleton::SkinnedActorPlugin) for the
//! runtime half: those compute the per-frame joint matrices and emit
//! [`SkinnedPoseUpdate`] events on `output.events`; the host drains the events
//! and calls [`SkinningPlugin::attach_palette`] on each one.
