Summary

Fixes #173 (Medium; memory leaks).

Three composables created long-lived reactive primitives with no disposal path, leaking whenever created outside an active effectScope.

Fixes

  • deferred() — created an internal effect (and its scheduled timer/idle callback) but returned only readonly(mirror), no disposer. Now returns ReadonlySignalHandle<T> & { dispose() }; dispose() stops the effect (its cleanup cancels any pending timer) and disposes the mirror. Scope-managed behavior when inside a scope is unchanged.
  • persistedSignal() — the persistence effect auto-registered with the ambient scope, so scope.stop() silently stopped persistence while the returned signal kept living, and there was no other way to stop it. Persistence now runs in a detached scope tied to the signal's own dispose(): an ambient scope.stop() no longer affects it, and signal.dispose() stops persistence.
  • effectScope(detached?) — new optional param (mirrors Vue's effectScope(true)): when true the scope isn't auto-collected by an enclosing scope. Additive, backward-compatible.

(The third sub-point in the issue — module-scope computed() retention — is a documented must-dispose contract; computed already exposes dispose(). This PR addresses the two composables that had no disposal path at all.)

Verification

  • deferred: new test asserts source changes stop flowing after dispose().
  • persistedSignal: new tests assert persistence survives an ambient scope.stop() and stops after signal.dispose(). Both new persist tests + the deferred test fail on the pre-fix code.
  • Full suite: 2989 pass / 0 fail. tsc --noEmit + eslint clean.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Three composables created long-lived reactive primitives that leaked when
not created inside an active effectScope:

- deferred() created an internal effect (plus its scheduled timer) and
  returned only readonly(mirror), with no disposer. It now returns a
  handle with a dispose() that stops the effect (cancelling any pending
  timer) and disposes the mirror.
- persistedSignal() ran its persistence effect in the ambient scope, so
  scope.stop() silently stopped persistence while the signal kept living,
  and there was no way to stop it otherwise. Persistence now runs in a
  detached scope tied to the signal's own dispose(): stopping an ambient
  scope no longer affects it, and disposing the signal stops persistence.
- effectScope() gained an optional  parameter (Vue-style) so a
  scope's lifetime can be made independent of any enclosing scope.

Fixes #173
