/**
 * View registry memory lifecycle tests.
 *
 * Exercises the real `registerPluginViews` / `unregisterPluginViews` functions
 * from `views-registry.ts` and verifies:
 *   - the module-level registry Map stays bounded across repeated cycles,
 *   - views disappear from `listViews()` and `getView()` after unregister,
 *   - multiple concurrent plugins coexist and clean up independently,
 *   - WeakRef-held entries become collectable after removal (GC-gated),
 *   - no EventEmitter listener accumulation occurs across load/unload cycles.
