SceneProperties/DoNotFreezeOnPause.cs
A scene component that, when present on a scene, prevents a StartMenu instance from pausing the game timescale. It tries to find a GameObject named "ScreenMenu" and obtain its StartMenu component, or uses a serialized property if provided, then sets PlsDoNotFreeze = true on it.
