Description

We need THREE to display shaders on our frontend. Adding this dependency slows down the frontend build by about a minute, though, which is unacceptable. Blacklisting it in .babelrc and package.json don’t help. We should investigate this, because it slows down iteration time on development.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the build configuration to identify why THREE (Three.js) slows down the build. Trace the dependency graph and check for duplicate bundling or misconfigured exclusion rules.
