-Slider, popup, and float now hand their close (X) button to the interview app.
-
-The app renders its own X (it emits `perspective:close` when clicked), placed
-within its own header so it no longer overlaps the app's top-right UI such as
-the participant avatar or the `…` menu. The SDK now only draws a temporary X
-over the loading skeleton and removes it the moment the interview becomes
-visible, so there's never a double or overlapping X.
-
-- The `perspective:init` handshake now sends `renderCloseButton` (`true` unless
-  `disableClose` is set) for slider, popup, and float. `widget`/`fullpage` have
-  no X and don't send it.
-- The legacy `hasCloseButton` init flag is retired — the SDK no longer emits it.
-  It remains on the `InitMessage` type as `@deprecated` because the app may still
-  receive it from older deployed SDK clients.
-- Backdrop-click and Escape close handlers are unchanged; float's launcher bubble
-  still closes the window. `disableClose` continues to suppress the X entirely.
