Description
WebXR Light Estimation API provides a reflection cube map that can be used for more immersive virtual object rendering in AR sessions.
Currently, the engine does not integrate it, and a cube map is not available. This is a request issue for the feature.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the engine's existing WebXR integration and reflection or cube-map rendering paths; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Compare the implementation with the WebXR Light Estimation API, and consider the work complete when AR sessions can expose and use the reflection cube map for virtual-object rendering.
