Research direction

Start with doc/testplans/optimize_away_alpha.md to understand the expected behavior and test coverage. Then locate the GLTF upload paths affected by the plan and verify that the requested alpha-channel optimization is applied only where intended. Done means the test plan passes and the affected uploads no longer retain unnecessary alpha channels.
