Self-reporting, to keep myself honest: I have now

- done AD 1 (KHR\_node\_visibility, [announced](https://castle-engine.io/wp/2026/07/25/toggle-visibility-of-a-group-of-x3d-gltf-nodes/)) and
- done AD 2 (pointer lock on web, announcement on [news](https://castle-engine.io/wp/) will be today).

So there remains only “something for Delphi” (details soon – I want to finish testing first what is possible, before I commit 🙂 ), and then next big thing will be shadow maps. Stay tuned!
