/**
 * Shared pick-ownership registry for layers that install their own
 * ScreenSpaceEventHandler click handlers.
 *
 * Problem solved: each entity layer (commercial flights, military flights)
 * receives every LEFT_CLICK. When the user clicks a military aircraft while
 * a commercial flight is tracked, the commercial handler used to classify
 * the pick as "empty space" and clear tracking (with a camera flight) at the
 * same moment the military handler started tracking — two competing camera
 * commands. Layers now register a predicate so siblings can recognize picks
 * that belong to someone else and leave them alone.

 * strings, satellites use numeric NORAD catalog ids, live AIS vessels attach

 * the Cesium Entity (identity = its string `id`). Everything is coerced to a
 * String so predicates match against one canonical form.
