public void RemoveDependency(SceneNode node);

HasDependency()

Checks if a scene is a direct dependency.

public bool HasDependency(Scene scene);

Parameter	Type	Description
scene	Scene	The scene to check

Remarks

Dependencies are resolved recursively by SceneManager when loading scenes. If scene A depends on scene B, and B depends on C, loading A with loadDependencies = true will load C first, then B, then A.

Example Dependency Chain:
Gameplay → Core → Bootstrap
           ↓
          Audio
          
Loading "Gameplay" loads: Bootstrap → Core → Audio → Gameplay
