--[[
	proof_marker.luau -- prove, visually, that the bridge is driving the SAME
	Studio the user is looking at.

	Every claim I have made so far has been a number I read back myself, which
	is exactly the kind of evidence that failed us: I verified a push at 41650
	bytes three times and the cars still never changed. So this puts something
	in the user's viewport that they can confirm with their own eyes.

	Creates a large, bright, obviously-artificial marker high above the spawn
	area, named with a fixed token so it is unmistakable in Explorer, plus a
	floating billboard label. If the user sees it, the bridge and their Studio
	are the same place, and the remaining problem is purely about WHERE source
	is written (Edit vs Play datamodel). If they do NOT see it, the bridge is
	attached to a different place/instance and nothing else matters until that
	is fixed.

	Deliberately not subtle. Cleaned up later by name.
