     *       thin dispatchers that invoke the corresponding procedure — or this
     *       manager is absorbed into HandlerManager directly. The function pointer
     *       should be accompanied by a `const char* name` label on `object_type`
     *       so that error logs identify the type without dereferencing the pointer.
