* @brief Engine orchestration interface - coordinates the entire system
*
* The engine is responsible for:
* - System initialization and lifecycle management
* - Main game loop coordination with delta time updates
* - Module system orchestration
* - IIO health monitoring and backpressure management
*
* IMPORTANT: Engine implementations must periodically check IIO health:
* - Monitor IOHealth.queueSize vs maxQueueSize (warn at 80% full)
* - Track IOHealth.dropping status (critical - consider module restart)
* - Log IOHealth.droppedMessageCount for debugging
* - Monitor IOHealth.averageProcessingRate for performance analysis
*
* Evolution path:
* - DebugEngine: Development/testing with step-by-step execution
* - HighPerfEngine: Production optimized with threading
* - DataOrientedEngine: Massive scale with SIMD and clustering
