Perspective wasn been initialized in inline mode

Error message

Perspective wasn been initialized in inline mode

What it means

Guard in the viewer's inline-mode entry point: the inline bundle embeds wasm, and this message fires when the inline entrypoint is used without its initialization having run, i.e. the embedded viewer wasm was not set up before perspective APIs were invoked.

Solutions

1. Run the inline initialization entrypoint before using viewer APIs
2. Switch to the standard perspective-viewer entrypoint if inline wasm is not needed
3. Verify the inline module isn't partially loaded or tree-shaken by the bundler
4. Ensure awaited initialization completes before instantiating viewer elements

When it happens
