Description

WebGPU Exposes more information beyond just scoping to a benchmark to make decisions from.

See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/GPUSupportedLimits
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/GPUSupportedFeatures

We can expand to list if its core, compat, even just supports webgpu. Also compute, and various compute features

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's existing GPU detection entry points and the related three.js WebGPU capabilities module. Compare the current detection behavior with the MDN GPUSupportedLimits and GPUSupportedFeatures references, then clarify which core, compatibility, WebGPU, compute, and compute-feature values should be exposed. Done means the selected device information is listed and covered by the project's tests.
