/// a 3-second countdown runs, then capture starts and the level plays with the game clock driven by the render
/// frame rate (offline, not real time). The render ends successfully <see cref="RenderConfig.DelayAfterEnd"/> seconds
/// (render time) after the end condition first holds, or is cancelled by the user (ESC), or fails. In every case
/// the completion callback receives a <see cref="RenderResult"/> and the game returns to the level editor.

/// <b>Threading:</b> every member must be called on the main Unity thread, except the global hook members, which are
/// thread-safe (they lock an internal object). All callbacks (end condition, completion, last update, frame hooks)
/// are invoked on the main Unity thread.
