AppServices

Remarks

The handful of genuinely global things, as properties, so the common case is a field access rather than a dictionary lookup and a cast. Registry is the same set behind ServiceRegistry for anything that wants them generically — an editor panel, a plugin — and for the subsystems that arrive in later phases.

Not a DI container, for the reasons ServiceRegistry gives: no constructor injection, no lifetimes, no reflection, because under NativeAOT the alternative does not work and on a frame budget it costs more than it is worth.
