3D/2D Visualization Architecture

We use Three.js for 3D models with a modular structure under src/three/:

• core/Engine.ts: Lightweight host that creates a scene, camera, renderer, shared lights, and an animation loop. It manages model lifecycle.
• core/types.ts: IModel interface that all 3D models implement: init(scene), update(dt), dispose().
• core/anim.ts: Tiny tween scheduler for simple time-based animations.
• react/ThreeCanvas.tsx: React bridge that mounts the engine in a div and registers provided models.
• models/CallStackAssemblyLine.ts: First model visualizing the Call Stack as an assembly line (conveyor + lift). Exposes pushFrame() and popFrame().
• models/python/PythonVM3D.ts: 3D visualization of Python Virtual Machine internals and execution flow.
• models/python/MemoryProfiler3D.ts: Interactive 3D memory heap visualization with object allocation tracking.
• models/python/CallGraph3D.ts: 3D representation of Python function call relationships and execution paths.

Add a new model:

1. Create src/three/models/MyModel.ts implementing IModel.
2. Import it in a page and pass an instance to ThreeCanvas via models={[new MyModel()]}.
3. Expose imperative methods on your model (e.g., step()) and call them from UI buttons.
