Particle age and shader time each read performance.now() off their own library, and the world got the frame's delta straight from the ticker. Three clocks, so a global time scale would have been three multiplications and a pause three separate freezes. core/time.ts holds one clock instead: it accumulates dt x scale per frame rather than reading the wall clock, and Editor.tick hands the very step it took to the play session, the editor run and the animation preview. Delta time, particle age, shader time and that preview are the same quantity now, so the scale is a single multiplication and a pause is that scale at 0 — nothing underneath needs rebasing, because the clock itself stands still. The Math.min(dt, 0.1) caps in PlaySession and EditorRun are gone: the cap (MAX_FRAME) now sits on the raw frame before scaling, and capping twice would make the world run slower than the particles at scale 2. A pause gates the scale rather than overwriting it — effectiveScale() answers 0 while paused, and for anything that is not a positive finite number, while gameClock.scale keeps its value. A slider later survives a pause that way; the issue asks for none yet. The clock goes back to zero at both ends of a run, so a run is reproducible from second 0 and the scene view looks freshly loaded after Stop. Resetting only on Stop would not do it: the editor clock runs on afterwards, and the next Play would start at "seconds since the last Stop". The trap in that: ParticleField keeps its origin as an absolute second of this clock, so after a reset it lies in the future and every particle would age backwards. One line in sync() starts such a field over, which covers the scene, the game and the tab preview at once — and fixes an older bug of the same shape, where releasing a particleTime() freeze left the preview empty for good. Found while measuring that: ParticlePreview stood at second 0.5 by computing the clock reading that would mean 0.5 since the field started. Over 200000 random origins the round trip misses the last bit in 18.8% of them and shows one particle too few in 9.4%, because floor(0.5 * 20) comes out 9. The check had been flaky since it was written. The panel hands the field the age itself now (ParticleField.hold), and the faked clock is gone. 833 checks (824 + 9), 931 unit tests (921 + 10).
