+ *    system may drive however it likes — a Theatre binding
+ *    (`bindObject3DTransform`/`bindCameraLens`, D3), a hand-written orbit/
+ *    follow/spline-dolly update, or a one-shot `camera.lookAt(target)` call.
+ *    This module never mutates a source camera; it only READS its current
+ *    pose at evaluation time.
+ *  - `liveCamera`: the ONE camera actually rendered. This module is the only
+ *    thing that writes to it while a cinematic owns it. Whatever ordinary
+ *    game code drives `liveCamera` the rest of the time (gameplay's own
+ *    orbit/follow controller, typically) is untouched and resumes writing to
+ *    it the moment ownership returns to "nobody" (the stack is empty).
+ *
+ * ## Ownership stack (LIFO) — the D6 nested/interrupted-cinematics rule
+ *
+ * `take(ownerId)` pushes a new ownership FRAME, capturing `liveCamera`'s
+ * CURRENT pose as that frame's `restorePose` — i.e. "whatever the camera
+ * looked like the instant this owner took over" (gameplay's pose for the
+ * first/outermost `take`, or the parent cinematic's current pose for a
+ * NESTED `take` while a parent is still on the stack). Only the TOP frame
+ * may drive the camera (`cut`/`blend`/`applyDirectorEvent`/`release` all
+ * throw `CameraOwnershipError` if `ownerId` is not the current top) — this
+ * is what makes nested ownership resolve deterministically: a second
+ * cinematic taking the camera while a first one owns it must explicitly
+ * `take()` (pushing on top) before it can drive anything, and must
+ * `release()` (popping) before the frame beneath it can drive anything
+ * again. There is no "steal without taking" path.
+ *
+ * `release(ownerId, { completed })` pops the top frame (throws if `ownerId`
+ * is not on top — the LIFO rule) and applies that frame's declared
+ * `CameraRestorePolicy` to `liveCamera` IMMEDIATELY:
+ *
+ *  - `'restore'` (default): `liveCamera` is set back to the frame's captured
+ *    `restorePose` — bit-exact, no interpolation.
+ *  - `'retain'`: `liveCamera` is left exactly as the cinematic last set it
+ *    (the cinematic's end pose).
+ *  - `'retain-if-completed'`: `'retain'` if `completed: true` was passed,
+ *    `'restore'` otherwise. This is the policy a cinematic controller (not
+ *    built in this unit — spec §3.2 names it as a future seam) would use to
+ *    express "keep the final shot if the cinematic played to its natural
+ *    end, but snap back to gameplay if it was skipped/cancelled".
+ *
+ * If a PARENT frame remains after the pop, it is NOT forcibly re-applied —
+ * the parent's own tracking/blending state (whatever it last was) simply
+ * resumes driving `liveCamera` on the next clock crossing, same as it always
+ * would. Concretely: "B stops → ownership returns to A's state" means
+ * `liveCamera` is snapped to A's captured pose the instant B releases, and
+ * then continues to be driven by A's own last `cut`/`blend` target (if any)
+ * on subsequent crossings — exactly as if B had never interrupted A. If A's
+ * target camera is static (not itself being animated), the snapped pose and
+ * the resumed-tracking pose are identical, which is what the test suite
+ * exercises for determinism.
+ *
+ * `dispose()` is the "render cleanup" path (D6 AC: "render cleanup restore
+ * or retain state according to the declared policy"): every still-open
+ * frame is released LIFO, per ITS OWN declared policy, with `completed:
+ * false` (a teardown is never a natural completion — `retain-if-completed`
+ * frames restore on cleanup, exactly like a cancel).
+ *
+ * ## Cut vs. blend — consuming the D4 `CameraOwnershipHook` seam
+ *
+ * `theatre-director.ts` (D4) detects discrete `activeCamera` transitions and
+ * reports them through `CameraOwnershipHook` — a `CameraOwnershipChangeEvent`
+ * carrying `cameraKey`/`mode`/`blendSeconds`, nothing else. This module's
+ * `applyDirectorEvent(ownerId, event)` is the entire consumption of that
+ * seam: it forwards `event.cameraKey`/`event.blendSeconds` into the same
+ * `cut`/`blend` logic a caller could invoke directly. The wiring is ordinary
+ * caller-side composition (same pattern D4/D5 already use to compose on one
+ * shared clock — see `theatre-director.test.ts`'s "composes with D5" suite):
+ *
+ * ```ts
+ * const ownership = createCameraOwnershipSystem({ liveCamera, cameras, clock });
+ * ownership.take('intro-cinematic');
+ * const directorBinding = bindDirectorToClock(clock, director, {
+ *   onActiveCameraChange: (event) => ownership.applyDirectorEvent('intro-cinematic', event),
+ * });
+ * // ...cinematic plays...
+ * ownership.release('intro-cinematic', { completed: true });
+ * directorBinding.dispose();
+ * ```
+ *
+ * The Director's FIRST event per bind is always `mode: 'cut'`
+ * (`previousCameraKey: null` — an "assignment", per the D4 module doc) —
+ * consumed exactly like any other cut, which is what performs the
+ * cinematic's INITIAL camera capture/placement onto its opening shot. A
+ * `take()` before binding the Director is required so the pre-cinematic
+ * gameplay pose is captured before that first cut lands.
+ *
+ * ## One unified transition model — cut is just a zero-duration blend
+ *
+ * Internally, `cut`/`blend`/`applyDirectorEvent` all record exactly one
+ * `FrameState` shape: `{ targetKey, fromPose, startTime, durationSeconds }`
+ * (`durationSeconds` is `0` for a cut). On EVERY clock crossing, the applied
+ * pose is a PURE function of `clock.time` and this fixed record — nothing is
+ * mutated as time passes:
+ *
+ * ```
+ * t = durationSeconds <= 0 ? 1 : clamp((clock.time - startTime) / durationSeconds, 0, 1)
+ * appliedPose = t >= 1 ? currentPoseOf(targetKey) : lerp(fromPose, currentPoseOf(targetKey), t)
+ * ```
+ *
+ * `currentPoseOf(targetKey)` is re-sampled LIVE every crossing (never a
+ * frozen snapshot), so blending onto — or having already cut to — a moving/
+ * Theatre-animated source camera tracks it correctly both mid-blend and
+ * after the blend window has fully elapsed. `fromPose` IS a fixed snapshot,
+ * taken once at the moment the transition begins (`capturePose(liveCamera)`
+ * — "wherever the camera currently is"); `t` clamps to `0` for any
+ * `clock.time` before `startTime` (holds `fromPose`) and to `1` at/after
+ * `startTime + durationSeconds` (holds the target's live current pose) —
+ * the same clamp-to-domain-boundary convention `AnimationClock` itself uses.
+ *
+ * Because nothing here depends on evaluation HISTORY (no state flips from
+ * "blending" to "tracking" as time passes — a cut IS just `durationSeconds:
+ * 0`, permanently, until the next `cut`/`blend` call replaces the record),
+ * a blend is fully deterministic under arbitrary re-seek: seeking forward
+ * past the blend end and then BACK into the blend window reproduces the
+ * exact same interpolated pose, not whatever the live target happened to be
+ * doing after the blend completed. See `camera-ownership.test.ts`'s
+ * "deterministic under re-seek" case.
+ *
+ * ## Phase choice: 'render', deliberately later than D3's 'preRender'
+ *
+ * `bindObject3DTransform`/`bindCameraLens` (D3) and `bindDirectorToClock`
+ * (D4) both default to the `'preRender'` phase. This module's own clock
+ * evaluator defaults to `'render'` — the LAST phase in `PHASE_ORDER` —
+ * specifically so `PHASE_ORDER` itself (not registration order) guarantees
+ * every registered source camera has already received its per-crossing
+ * pose update, and the Director has already fired any `applyDirectorEvent`
+ * for this crossing, before this module samples `cameras[key]` or resolves
+ * a pending transition. This is the same reasoning `theatre-director.ts`'s
+ * module doc gives for its own phase default relative to
+ * `bindClockToTheatreSequence`'s `'animation'` phase.
+ *
+ * ## Camera behaviors — what's tested vs. merely expressible
+ *
+ * Because a "source camera" is an ordinary `THREE.PerspectiveCamera` sampled
+ * fresh every crossing, ANY procedural code that mutates one earlier in
+ * `PHASE_ORDER` (or synchronously before a direct `cut`/`blend` call) is
+ * picked up automatically — this module does not special-case which
+ * mechanism produced the pose:
+ *
+ *  - **cuts, blends, FOV, near/far** — implemented and tested directly in
+ *    this module (`camera-ownership.test.ts`).
+ *  - **look-at** — tested: a source camera's orientation is set with
+ *    ordinary `camera.lookAt(target)` before a crossing; this module reads
+ *    the resulting `quaternion` like any other pose.
+ *  - **follow** — tested: a source camera's `position` is updated by
+ *    ordinary per-crossing application code (simulating a follow
+ *    controller); `currentPoseOf` re-samples it live every crossing, so the
+ *    live camera visibly follows.
+ *  - **orbit, spline-dolly** — EXPRESSIBLE via the identical mechanism
+ *    (ordinary code moves a registered source camera's `position`/
+ *    `quaternion` every crossing/frame — an orbit controller stepping an
+ *    angle, a spline sampler stepping arc-length) but not independently
+ *    tested in this unit; the follow test proves the general "procedurally
+ *    driven source camera, resampled live" path they would use.
