Description

Using the responsive, Javascript-free approach pioneered by @rich-harris and used in Pancake and LayerCake SSR, it would be nice to evaluate on how this might work within LayerChart.

We have SSR Images but this produces non-interactive images and requires explicit width / height.

I'm not sure if this approach could work for ALL visualizations but would be great to support many of them.

Research direction

Start with the existing SSR Images guide at next.layerchart.com/docs/guides/ssr-images, then compare the linked responsive, JavaScript-free approaches with LayerChart's current SSR behavior. Document whether the approach can support responsive, interactive output without explicit dimensions, and identify which visualizations are feasible.
