Description

I suggest having a way to keep the camera in the primary scene. As discussed here: https://discord.com/channels/740090768164651008/1162488856088690879/1239947711696863316

There is a issue where Ecctrl takes out the camera, therefore we cannot use const { camera } = useThree(); camera.position and trust the position is the same as it's moving with Ecctrl.
This also breaks the whole workflow on pmndrs/uikit as it depends on using the camera in the scene.

Research direction

Start by tracing how Ecctrl handles the camera and how useThree() accesses it in the primary scene; the issue names no files or tests. Check the interaction with pmndrs/uikit, and consider the work complete when the camera remains in the primary scene and its position stays reliable while Ecctrl moves.
