# CSG → Static Mesh Baker with LOD generation.
#
# Converts all CSG pieces in the current scene to MeshInstance3D nodes
# with proper LOD levels for the final optimization pass.
#
# This is the definitive LOD solution: once meshes are baked, Godot's
# built-in mesh LOD system takes over via the Mesh resource's LOD slots.
#
# Usage:
#   1. Open target scene in the Godot editor
#   2. Scene > Run Script (select this file)
#   3. Choose whether to replace CSG in-place or save meshes separately
#
# The script:
#   a) Finds all CSGShape3D nodes (CSGBox3D, CSGCombiner3D)
#   b) Calls mesh_to_save() to get the generated mesh
#   c) Creates MeshInstance3D + CollisionShape3D replacements
#   d) Generates LOD1 (50%) and LOD2 (25%) via mesh simplification
#   e) Replaces the CSG node with the baked mesh
