17+
* This function:
18+
* - Ignores objects whose `enable` is an array (unsupported for lookahead)
19+
* - Extracts a usable numeric start reference from both the object and its parent piece
20+
* - Supports lookahead semantics where `enable.while > 1` acts like an implicit start value
21+
* but the offset is added *to the while value* instead of replacing start
22+
* - Returns `undefined` when lookahead cannot be computed safely
23+
*
24+
* @param obj - The timeline object associated with the piece and layer. If `undefined`,
25+
* no lookahead object is created.
26+
* @param rawPiece - The piece instance containing the object map and its own enable
27+
* expression, which determines the base start time for lookahead.
28+
* @param partInfo - Metadata about the part the piece belongs to, required for
29+
* associating the lookahead object with the correct `partInstanceId`.
30+
* @param partInstanceId - The currently active or next part instance ID. If `null`,
31+
* the function falls back to the part ID from `partInfo`.
32+
* @param nextTimeOffset - An optional offset of the in point of the next part
33+

80+

81+
* This function supports two mutually exclusive modes:
82+
*
83+
* **1. `start` mode (`{ start: number | undefined }`)**
84+
* - A numeric `start` value is treated as the object's explicit start time.
85+
* - The offset is calculated as:
86+
* ```
87+
* offset = nextTimeOffset - pieceStart - start
88+
* ```
89+
* - Returns `undefined` if the resulting offset is not positive.
90+
*
91+
* **2. `while` mode (`{ while: number | undefined }`)**
92+
* - `while = 0` is treated as a boolean "false" → no lookahead offset.
93+
* - `while = 1` is treated as a boolean "true" equivalent to `start = 0`,
94+
* meaning the object starts immediately.
95+
* - Any `while > 1` value is treated as a timestamp signifying when the object
96+
* is considered to begin, and the lookahead offset is added *on top of*
97+
* the while value. Example:
98+
* ```
99+
* effectiveStart = (while === 1 ? 0 : while)
100+
* offset = nextTimeOffset - pieceStart - effectiveStart
101+
* returned = while + offset
102+
* ```
103+
* - Returns `undefined` if the computed offset is not positive.
104+
*
105+
* @param nextTimeOffset - The upcoming part's start time (or similar time anchor).
106+
* If undefined, no lookahead offset is produced.
107+
* @param pieceStart - The start time of the piece this object belongs to.
108+
* @param info - A `StartInfo` discriminated union describing whether the object
109+
* uses a numeric `start` or a `while` expression.
110+
*
111+
* @returns A positive lookahead offset, or `undefined` if lookahead cannot be
112+
* determined or would be non-positive.
