note: >-
  Linden Lab's embeddable surface predates the modern component era by well over a
  decade and shows it: the Map API is a Leaflet-based JavaScript map you drop into a
  page, documented against Leaflet 1.0.2, with no npm package, no versioned CDN
  build and no published loader URL on the reference page. It is recorded here
  because it is genuinely a client-side embeddable component and it still works —
  https://map.secondlife.com/ returned 200 on 2026-08-25 — not because it is
  current practice.

      The reference page does not publish a script-tag URL or CDN path for the
      library. Recorded as null rather than guessed — a consumer has to work it out
      from the example pages.
