Research direction
Start by locating the implementation and extension entry points for KHR_AREA_LIGHTS in VisRTX, then trace how light parameters are represented and passed to the OptiX and OpenGL-backed paths. Implement support for point-light radius and the visible flag, and verify that radius affects soft shadows while visible controls whether any light source is shown.
