Allows for manual cancellation to be layered on top of engine-managed cancellation.

// Create our "dual triggered" token
var cts = TaskSource.CreateLinkedTokenSource();

async Task Load(TaskSource ts)
{
    await ts.DelaySeconds(10, cts.Token); // Respect Both ts and cts.Token
    Finish();
}

// Manually Cancel our token 
cts.Cancel();

Use CancellationTokenSource when:

You need manual cancellation
You need to expose cancellation to callers
Cancellation is not tied to engine lifetimes

Use TaskSource when:

Async logic belongs to gameplay code
Cancellation must follow engine/session rules

Use CreateLinkedTokenSource() when:

Logic is BOTH scoped to the game and you need manual cancellation
