Performer Manager
Categories:
The Performer Manager is the singleton controller for the performer system. It tracks all active performers in the scene, handles registration and lookup, and responds to the Game Manager’s lifecycle events automatically.
For component properties and API details, see the Framework API reference.

How It Works
Performers register with the Performer Manager when they activate. The manager provides lookup by name so that other systems — dialogue, cinematics, AI — can find performers without maintaining their own references.
The Performer Manager responds to standby and shutdown broadcasts from the Game Manager, coordinating performer state across level transitions.
