// Measure a triangular surface patch
// Not compiled or tested in-world
// Setup: Put in the root of a spare owned object/linkset. Child touch handlers may consume events. Touch the three corners of a triangular patch. Collect 3 owner touches; the next touch starts another measurement.
// Stop / restore: Reset clears collected points; disable/remove to stop. No geometry is changed.
// Notes: Uses the planar triangle through the clicks; a curved surface may have greater true area. Results use actual touch positions in region coordinates, not hidden mesh dimensions.
