GpuIdentity

What part this machine has, as far as the browser will say. See describeGpu.

Properties

Name	Type	Description
`rendererName`readonly	`string`	The part's own string, or `''` where the browser declined to name it. More The same string `RendererApi.rendererName` carries once a renderer exists, from the same two derivations — this is that answer, moved earlier.
`weak`readonly	`boolean`	`isWeakGpuFamily(rendererName)`, so a caller does not have to remember to ask.
`source`readonly	`'webgpu' \| 'webgl2' \| 'none'`	Which API answered, and never a prediction of the backend `createRenderer` will build on. More Naming the part and choosing a backend are different questions with different costs: this asks an adapter for its name, and the selection asks for a device, compiles what it was given and reads back a pixel. A machine can name a WebGPU adapter and still end up on WebGL2. The field is here so a bug report can say where the string came from, not so a caller can branch on it.
