+CDN notes
+---------
+- ``web-ifc`` is loaded directly from unpkg (not via esm.sh) to avoid esm.sh
+  injecting a Node.js process polyfill that makes web-ifc's browser ST-build
+  environment check throw "not compiled for this environment".
+- ``@thatopen/fragments`` worker is fetched and wrapped in a same-origin blob
+  URL because Firefox blocks cross-origin module workers.
+- web-ifc@0.0.75 is the latest version with a ``browser`` export condition;
+  0.0.76+ dropped it, causing esm.sh to bundle the Node.js build by mistake.
+- Without COOP/COEP headers the page is not cross-origin isolated, so
+  ``crossOriginIsolated = false`` and web-ifc uses its single-threaded WASM
+  build (no SharedArrayBuffer / pthreads needed).
