Tags: cpu, dolphin, dolphin.lightlab, lightlab, source-example, thing

Build bounded lighting experiments with geometry, visibility, transport, film, and GPU/CPU contracts.

```yh
external thing dolphinLightNode
```

- float minx: Stores minx as float.
- float maxx: Stores maxx as float.
- int first: Stores first as int.
- dolphinLightNode(): Dolphin light node.

## Use dolphinLightNode

A complete small caller. Values are illustrative; check the returned result and package requirements before connecting live resources.

Verification: type checked

```yh
using dolphin.lightlab

// Build bounded lighting experiments with geometry, visibility, transport, film, and GPU/CPU contracts.
dolphinLightNode sample = dolphinLightNode()
Console.Log(Text.From(sample.minx))

```

Save this beside start.yh as project.mech:

```toml
manifestVersion = "2"
package = "api.example.dolphin_lightlab__dolphinlightnode"
version = "0.1.0"
languageEdition = "yeho-core-2026.1"

[app]
kind = "headless"

[[dependencies]]
package = "dolphin.lightlab"
version = "0.1.0"
path = "../../../dolphin/packages/lightlab"

[[dependencies]]
package = "dolphin.materials"
version = "0.1.0"
path = "../../../dolphin/packages/materials"

[[dependencies]]
package = "dolphin.math"
version = "0.1.0"
path = "../../../dolphin/packages/math"

[[dependencies]]
package = "dolphin.spatial3d"
version = "0.1.0"
path = "../../../dolphin/packages/spatial3d"

```

Extract the example archive beside the yeho and dolphin checkouts. This example requires those source dependencies and a current developer compiler.

```sh
./yeho/build/dolphin-metal/yehoc ./api-examples/dolphin.lightlab--dolphinLightNode/usage --backend cpu-oracle -o /tmp/yeho-example
/tmp/yeho-example
```


Package presence and a declaration do not establish support on every host. Host services need their platform and lifecycle setup.
