AgeService

AgeService: a Resource that advances an AgeState as game time progresses. Bound to a GameClock; the scene-tree AgeComponent reads its progress. Owned by the clock (clock.age_service); one service per clock. Drive modes (see AgeSettings.UpdateTime):

• GAME_TIME_ELAPSED: advance per game_seconds_advanced, the sum of game seconds the clock moved.
• DATE_CHANGED: advance once per crossed day boundary by the full day's game seconds, so day-aligned ageing doesn't drift on sub-day frames.
• REAL_TIME_ELAPSED: not supported on a Resource service (no per-frame driver); configuring it fails validation and the service stays idle.

Members

Name	Kind	Summary
service_id	Property	Unique service identifier, serialized via `Keys.SERVICE_ID` and used to route debug output. The setter migrates the registered AgeState to the new key. Set before handing the service to consumers so two services don't collide on one clock's registry.
starting_age	Property	Starting age preset for newly created states.
age_settings	Property	Timing and unit settings for how the service ages.
clock	Property	The clock whose elapsed time and date changes drive ageing.
old_clock	Property
old_state	Property
new_registry	Property
age_state_id	Property	Key under which this service's age state is serialized.
