//! The core `AtomicTime` for real-time and static clocks.
//!
//! This module provides an atomic time abstraction that supports both real-time and static
//! clocks. It ensures thread-safe operations and monotonic time retrieval with nanosecond precision.
//!
//! # Modes
//!
//! - **Real-time mode:** The clock continuously syncs with system wall-clock time (via
//!   [`SystemTime::now()`]). To ensure strict monotonic increments across multiple threads,
//!   the internal updates use an atomic compare-and-exchange loop (`time_since_epoch`).
//!   While this guarantees that every new timestamp is at least one nanosecond greater than the
//!   last, it may introduce higher contention if many threads call it heavily.
//!
//! - **Static mode:** The clock is manually controlled via [`AtomicTime::set_time`] or [`AtomicTime::increment_time`],
//!   which can be useful for simulations or backtesting. You can switch modes at runtime using
//!   [`AtomicTime::make_realtime`] or [`AtomicTime::make_static`]. In **static mode**, we use
//!   acquire/release semantics so that updates from one thread can be observed by another;
//!   however, we do not enforce strict global ordering for manual updates. If you need strong,
//!   multi-threaded ordering in **static mode**, you must coordinate higher-level synchronization yourself.
