Scoped<T>was allocating on the heap for internal ref-count increments/decrements because each lifetime change created a newReferenceCount<T>instance. This change keeps only the lifetime object allocated while moving the scope’s ref-count state to an allocation-free atomic implementation.Allocation-free scoped ref counting
Scoped<T>'s copy-on-writeReferenceCount<T>updates with a single atomic state field.Lifetime<T>support for scoped fast pathLifetime<T>internals to support a direct releaser callback path forScoped<T>.ReferenceCount<T>-based constructor for other callers unchanged.Compatibility / edge cases
Regression coverage
CreateLifetime()calls do not reintroduce heap allocation for internal ref counting.
