Detailed Description

Timer scheduler that provides Qt-like timer functionality.

TimerScheduler manages timers that can be processed either by a dedicated worker thread or manually via process/update calls. Timers are rescheduled using fixed-rate semantics, meaning the next activation time is based on the previously scheduled fire time. Cancelled timers are removed lazily from the internal queue, which can temporarily increase the queue size under frequent start/stop cycles.
