AFTERCURRENT

Local opening director, mounted by scenes.rainline on play load. Waits for the selected stage and local avatar, spawns temporary visual-only vehicle doubles, and plays rainline.cinematics.opening through the native cutscene package. Animation is derived from playback time; audio and particles are owned by the temporary root. Completion, skip and unload restore presentation and remove the actors. Does not register cars in the real race or change the shared phase.
