  * Create a reactive list with efficient keyed diffing

+ * LIST DIFFING ALGORITHM:
+ * -----------------------
+ * This uses a keyed reconciliation strategy to minimize DOM operations:
+ *
+ * 1. KEY EXTRACTION: Each item gets a unique key via keyFn (defaults to index)
+ *    Good keys: item.id, item.uuid (stable across re-renders)
+ *    Bad keys: array index (causes unnecessary re-renders on reorder)
+ *
+ * 2. RECONCILIATION PHASES:
+ *    a) Build a map of new items by key
+ *    b) For existing keys: reuse the DOM nodes (no re-creation)
+ *    c) For removed keys: remove DOM nodes and run cleanup
+ *    d) For new keys: create DOM nodes via template function
+ *
+ * 3. REORDERING: Uses a single forward pass:
+ *    - Tracks previous node position with prevNode cursor
+ *    - Only moves nodes that are out of position
+ *    - Nodes already in correct position are skipped (no DOM operation)
+ *
+ * 4. BOUNDARY MARKERS: Uses comment nodes to track list boundaries:
+ *    - startMarker: Insertion point for first item
+ *    - endMarker: End boundary (not currently used but reserved)
+ *
+ * COMPLEXITY: O(n) for reconciliation + O(m) DOM moves where m <= n
+ * Best case (no changes): O(n) comparisons, 0 DOM operations

+// =============================================================================
+// REACTIVE DEPENDENCY TRACKING ALGORITHM
+// =============================================================================
+//
+// This module implements a push-based reactive system using automatic dependency
+// tracking. Here's how it works:
+//
+// 1. READING (Dependency Collection)
+//    - When an effect runs, `context.currentEffect` points to it
+//    - When a pulse's get() is called, it checks if there's a currentEffect
+//    - If so, it adds the effect to its subscribers and vice versa
+//    - This creates a bidirectional link: pulse knows who depends on it,
+//      effect knows what it depends on
+//
+// 2. WRITING (Change Notification)
+//    - When a pulse's set() is called with a new value, it notifies subscribers
+//    - Each subscriber (effect) is either run immediately or queued for batching
+//    - Effects re-run, clearing old dependencies and collecting new ones
+//
+// 3. BATCHING (Performance Optimization)
+//    - batch() increments batchDepth and delays effect execution
+//    - Effects are queued in pendingEffects instead of running immediately
+//    - When batch completes, flushEffects() runs all queued effects
+//    - Nested batches are handled by only flushing at depth 0
+//
+// 4. COMPUTED VALUES (Derived State)
+//    - Computed pulses wrap a function and cache its result
+//    - They use the same dependency tracking to know when to recompute
+//    - Lazy computed values only recompute when read (pull-based optimization)
+//
+// 5. CLEANUP (Memory Management)
+//    - Effects can return a cleanup function called before re-run or disposal
+//    - On re-run, old dependencies are cleared before collecting new ones
+//    - This prevents memory leaks and stale subscriptions
+//
+// =============================================================================
