A RenderView renders the MAIN scene tree through a second Camera3D (a
"security camera" hung above the set, marked visible=False so it never becomes
the active camera) into an offscreen texture every frame. That texture is fed
to a Material on a flat "monitor" slab in the same scene: a live security
feed of the world the player is standing in. Contrast with SubViewport, which
renders its OWN subtree; a RenderView has no offscreen subtree, it re-renders
the one main world from another viewpoint.

The orange cube spins in both views at once (main camera and overhead feed),
proving the monitor is a live same-frame capture, not a snapshot.
