resolve_asset()

fl::url fl::resolve_asset

(

const asset_ref &

a

)

Resolve an asset handle to a URL (or local file path) at runtime.

Resolution rules:

• WASM: consults the build-time manifest injected as window.fastledAssetManifest (mirrored into the C++ registry by generated code from ci/compiler/asset_scanner.py).
• Host/stub (FASTLED_TESTING, FL_IS_STUB): returns the file path as a fl::url if the file exists on disk. Otherwise, if a sibling <path>.lnk exists, returns the URL from the .lnk — same fallback as WASM.
• Other platforms (e.g., ESP32): v1 returns an empty url(). ESP32 LittleFS / SD-card resolution is tracked as future work.

The runtime ignores any sha256= / fallback= metadata in .lnk files. These are parsed by fl::parse_lnk_with_metadata() for forward-compat and reserved for future integrity/retry features.
