In depth

Nothing in this engine knew either until now, which is why there has never been a frustum test: a renderer cannot decide whether a mesh is on screen without knowing what part of space it occupies. CAPABILITIES.md recorded the consequence — no draw culling at all, only backface — and every track on the roadmap that wants culling, level of detail, a broadphase or a bounding gizmo wants this object first.

Both a box and a sphere, because the two answer different questions cheaply. A sphere survives an arbitrary transform as a sphere, which makes it the right shape for a per-draw visibility test; a box is tighter and is what a physics broadphase and an editor's selection want.
