+/**
+ * `studio_transform`: move, resize and rotate, as a drag would.
+ *
+ * This tool reads the element's box back after every write and reports what
+ * ACTUALLY changed. That is not belt-and-braces, it is the only thing standing
+ * between an agent and a silent lie, because two of the three handlers can do
+ * nothing and resolve:
+ *
+ * - The handlers exposed on `DomEditActionsValue` are the GSAP-AWARE wrappers
+ *   (`useDomEditSession.ts` aliases them), not the CSS ones in
+ *   `useDomGeometryCommits.ts`.
+ * - `handleGsapAwarePathOffsetCommit` and `handleGsapAwareRotationCommit` are
+ *   `if (gsapCommitMutation) { ...intercept... }` with NO else branch. In a
+ *   composition with no GSAP they return having done nothing. The adjacent
+ *   comments confirm that is deliberate: there is no CSS fallback to write to.
+ * - `handleGsapAwareBoxSizeCommit` is different. It runs through
+ *   `runGestureTransaction` with a scale route and a width/height route, so
+ *   resize works more generally than the other two.
+ *
+ * Read back, do not assume.
