Abstract Class: MasterClock

Defined in: platform/master-clock.ts:25

Platform-agnostic base class for driving animation playback.

Subclasses implement the actual frame loop (e.g. requestAnimationFrame in the browser, a setInterval loop in Node) and call setCurrentTime / tick each frame. MasterClock owns the subscriber lists and the shared playback state so that renderers and UI controls can coordinate without knowing about each other.

Lifecycle:

1. Set total duration with setDuration.
2. Register listeners via onTick / onPlay / onPause / onTime.
3. Call play, pause, or seek to control playback.
4. Call dispose when the clock is no longer needed to prevent leaks.
