/**
 * @class GeometryWriterNode
 * @brief Base class for nodes that generate 3D geometry data
 *
 * Analogous to TextureNode but for vertex geometry instead of pixel data.
 * Each frame (at VISUAL_RATE), compute_frame() is called to generate new vertex data.
 * Vertex data is stored as a flat array in configurable interleaved or non-interleaved format.
 *
 * Subclasses implement compute_frame() to populate m_vertex_buffer with vertex data.
 * The buffer follows a user-defined stride (bytes per vertex) allowing flexible vertex formats:
 * - Positions only (3 floats = 12 bytes per vertex)
 * - Positions + Colors (3 + 3 floats = 24 bytes per vertex)
 * - Positions + Normals + Texcoords (3 + 3 + 2 floats = 32 bytes per vertex)
 * - Any custom interleaved format
 *
 * Usage:
 * ```cpp
 * class MyParticleSystem : public GeometryWriterNode {
 *     void compute_frame() override {
 *         std::vector<glm::vec3> positions;
 *         for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
 *             positions.push_back(generate_particle(i));
 *         }
 *
 *         set_vertex_stride(sizeof(glm::vec3));
 *         resize_vertex_buffer(positions.size());
 *         memcpy(m_vertex_buffer.data(), positions.data(),
 *                positions.size() * sizeof(glm::vec3));
 *         m_vertex_count = positions.size();
 *     }
 * };
 * ```
