+ * documented core limitation, but it still leaves a renderer-owned mount uncleaned, so it is logged
+ * with `console.error` rather than silently ignored. Synchronous teardowns are unaffected. The Pro
+ * client renderer (`react-on-rails-pro`) awaits the renderer and re-checks the unmount state, so it
+ * runs the teardown even when a navigation races the resolve; prefer Pro if you depend on async
+ * renderer teardowns surviving fast navigations.
+ *
+ * Renderer results that ultimately do not include a teardown wrapper are left untracked:
+ * synchronous no-wrapper returns are not stored, and async results that resolve without a wrapper use
+ * only a temporary placeholder until the promise settles. Before this cleanup contract existed,
+ * renderer-owned mounts were never tracked, so repeated page-loaded calls re-invoked those legacy
