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.
