Description

* Throw a bouncy ball
* Pick it up
* Observe that its orientation suddenly snaps to some alignment (presumably Z is up or whatever)

I'd expect picking something up to preserve its orientation.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by throwing a bouncy ball and picking it up in Thirdroom, then trace the object-picking entry point and orientation handling. Done means picking up the object preserves the orientation it had before pickup, with no instantaneous snap.
