Your first shader session
=========================

1. Start Workbench with ``uvx miskeyed-workbench``.
2. Open a ``.slang`` document or use the packaged sample.
3. Edit a numeric parameter declaration and let live compilation finish.
4. Change the reflected control in the Inspector.
5. Choose **Compare** and select **HLSL** as the generated target.
6. Open **Dependencies** to see imports resolved by Slang.
7. Switch between Render Toy and ShaderToy; notice that the editor and timeline stay.

A slider edit updates uniform data. A source edit recompiles. Switching the visible
tool does not close documents or destroy the other tool session.
