Research direction
Start with the particle-system scaling behavior described in the issue and compare the linked Unity MainModule scalingMode reference. Determine how the requested local and hierarchy modes should affect particles, then verify that both modes work as intended in the engine. The issue names no source files or tests, so locating the relevant particle-system entry points is part of the work.
