+ * @brief Utility wrapper that bridges factory registration and shared ownership.
+ * 
+ * ObjectWrapper provides a high-level interface to handle objects that can be
+ * both registered in the ObjectFactory and managed through shared ownership
+ * using SmartPointer.
+ * 
+ * One of its key roles is static registration: when instantiated with a 
+ * class name string, it automatically registers a factory function for type T 
+ * in the ObjectFactory singleton. This allows the factory to subsequently 
+ * create instances of T dynamically by name.
+ * 
+ * It supports multiple initialization paths, including factory-based 
+ * construction and direct model wrapping.
