The Babylon.js team and community never fail to impress!
All the new features and eye candy are great … but is it wrong to experience a little flutter of joy in seeing this console output in my own projects?!
First commit of the day: upgrade Babylon.js, test and everything just works.

THIS IS THE WAY 
So glad it worked flawlessly
Absolutely stunning changes - thank you very much for your efford!
And as always, backward compatibility shout out to the team. Here is the summary Claude gave me when I asked to evaluate the upgrade.
Upgrading BabylonJS from v7.11.2 → v9.0 across the smplrspace frontend. The codebase has 64 files with 244 BJS imports across 4 packages:
@babylonjs/core,@babylonjs/gui,@babylonjs/loaders,@babylonjs/serializers.Overall: LOW-MEDIUM risk. Most v8/v9 breaking changes don’t affect the codebase.
Bumped the packages, tested… 
all works out of the box.
