Overview

An Entity<T> is a handle to state of type T, providing safe access and updates.

Key Methods:

• entity.read(cx) → &T - Read-only access
• entity.read_with(cx, |state, cx| ...) → R - Read with closure
• entity.update(cx, |state, cx| ...) → R - Mutable update
• entity.downgrade() → WeakEntity<T> - Create weak reference
• entity.entity_id() → EntityId - Unique identifier

Entity Types:

• Entity<T>: Strong reference (increases ref count)
• WeakEntity<T>: Weak reference (doesn't prevent cleanup, returns Result)
