#include <ComposableCameraPatchHandle.h>

Inherits: UObject

Caller-facing opaque handle to an active Patch.

Held weakly: when the underlying instance is removed (expired, context popped, Director destroyed), the handle's getters return defaulted values and IsActive returns false. Callers do not need to null-check the handle on every getter.

Construction is internal to UComposableCameraPatchManager — callers receive the handle from AddPatch and pass it to ExpirePatch / the BP getters.

GC lifetime caveat: the handle UObject itself has only a weak back-reference from the instance, so callers MUST keep the handle alive through their own strong reference. Blueprint usage is automatic — BP variables hold strong refs. C++ usage requires storing the handle in a UPROPERTY (or other GC-tracked location) on the owning class; a raw local pointer that goes out of scope will be collected, after which Manual-channel ExpirePatch becomes impossible (Duration / Condition channels still expire normally).
