fix: release ObjectManager's JS handles and JNI weak refs at teardown

[edusperoni]

Stacked on #2006 — it depends on that PR's DestroyRuntime teardown ordering. Review #2006 first; the diff here is 4 files.

Problem

ObjectManager has no destructor. delete m_objectManager runs the implicit one, which destroys the containers and abandons everything they point at.

The expensive part: JNI weak global refs

m_cache (an LRUCache<int, jweak>, capacity 1000) holds one JNI weak global ref per entry. LRUCache runs its evict callback only under capacity pressure or explicit invalidation — never at destruction, because it had no destructor either. So a worker that touched Java objects abandons its entire cache when it dies.

ART's weak-global table is bounded (~51200 entries), so this is not merely a leak: enough worker cycles exhaust it and ART aborts with weak global reference table overflow.

The JS side

Every linked object owns a Persistent<Object>, a JSInstanceInfo and an ObjectWeakCallbackState, freed only from the GC finalizer — and V8 does not run weak callbacks when an isolate is disposed.

It is worse than "some survive". In the default none marking mode (AppConfig.java), JSObjectFinalizer re-arms SetWeak whenever the Java counterpart is still alive, so those wrappers are deliberately retained and are therefore all still live at teardown.

Fix

Split across the two windows teardown actually has:

Phase	Runs in	Isolate	JNI	Does
ReleaseAllRegistered()	DestroyRuntime	alive, locked	alive	clears each wrapper's JsInfo internal field before freeing the JSInstanceInfo it points at, resets + deletes the Persistent, releases m_poJsWrapperFunc
~ObjectManager	~Runtime	disposed	alive, attached	clears the LRU cache, which now evicts through the callback; touches no v8 handle

That ordering is not incidental:

• Persistent::Reset() after Isolate::Dispose() writes into a freed handle table, so the V8 phase must be in DestroyRuntime.
• The JNI eviction must happen before ~Runtime drops the com.tns.Runtime global ref (added in fix: isolate/runtime lifetime — worker startup race, teardown use-after-free, and leaks #2006), because ObjectManager calls Java through that same object.

Supporting changes

• m_idToObject now maps to ObjectWeakCallbackState* rather than the bare Persistent*. The state was created and handed to SetWeak but stored nowhere, so teardown had no way to reach it — or the JSInstanceInfo — at all. 7 use sites.
• LRUCache::clear() — evicts every entry through the callback. Without it the cache cannot release what it owns.
• ReleaseJSInstance now frees the callback state, which it never did (a smaller pre-existing leak on the same path).

Testing

Full suite green, and the crash-loop harness from #2006 (SIGSEGV handler temporarily disabled so faults are fatal and tombstoned, not part of this PR) — result posted below once the 20-run loop finishes.

Notes for review

• The full-marking paths (ReleaseRegularObjects, MakeRegularObjectsWeak) are untouched. Worth knowing: three of ObjectManager's declared methods — MakeRegularObjectsWeak, MakeImplObjectsWeak, CheckWeakObjectsAreAlive — have no definition anywhere in the tree and are called from nowhere. They are not part of this fix, but they are why "something else already drains these maps" is not true.
• Remaining lifetime work is tracked in Runtime lifetime: deferred leaks, cross-isolate sharing, and startup robustness #2010 — notably NativeScriptException::m_javascriptException, whose raw pointer is handed to Java as a jlong, so fixing it changes a cross-language ownership contract. (~MetadataNodeCache was completed in fix: isolate/runtime lifetime — worker startup race, teardown use-after-free, and leaks #2006, where that destructor lives.)

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved runtime cleanup during shutdown to help prevent stale JavaScript-to-native object references.
  • Ensured cached resources are fully cleared, including invoking configured cleanup callbacks for cached values.
  • Strengthened object and wrapper release handling while the runtime is shutting down.
  • Reduced the risk of lingering resources and inconsistent state after runtime teardown.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds LRUCache::clear(), changes ObjectManager registrations to store callback state, adds bulk wrapper cleanup, and invokes it before V8 isolate disposal. The ObjectManager destructor clears JNI weak references after isolate teardown.

Changes

Runtime wrapper teardown

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Cleanup contracts and state storage test-app/runtime/src/main/cpp/LRUCache.h, test-app/runtime/src/main/cpp/ObjectManager.h	LRUCache::clear() invokes eviction callbacks and removes cache records. ObjectManager exposes ReleaseAllRegistered() and stores callback state with duplicated Java object IDs.
Registered object release test-app/runtime/src/main/cpp/ObjectManager.cpp	Object lookup, linking, finalization, individual release, and bulk release manage persistent handles through ObjectWeakCallbackState. Bulk release clears callback metadata and disposes wrapper state.
Runtime teardown integration test-app/runtime/src/main/cpp/Runtime.cpp, test-app/runtime/src/main/cpp/ObjectManager.cpp	Runtime::DestroyRuntime releases registered wrappers while V8 remains alive. The ObjectManager destructor clears the JNI weak-reference cache.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to a62f4

The PR adds explicit teardown cleanup for JavaScript handles and JNI weak references; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains based on the supplied evidence.

Poem

A rabbit saw wrappers safely depart,
While V8 still held its living heart.
Cache entries cleared, handles released,
JNI weak links were finally ceased.
“Hop,” said the rabbit, “teardown is neat!”
