A release call was linked to its acquisition through the receiver's lexical
binding alone, so `stream = { destroy() {} }; stream.destroy()` still
produced a resolved `releases` edge to the original stream and entered the
default ownership trace.
A release is now complete only when every value written to the handle
binding is the linked acquisition itself (through parentheses, TypeScript
wrappers or `await`) or a nullish placeholder such as `let h = null`, which
cannot be released. Any other write, conditional replacement, or
destructuring keeps the linked release as a candidate (partial).

Track module writes and escapes at their owner, preserve capture and reassignment ordering, and share CommonJS/default namespace identity without erasing parent-slot changes. Carry write sites into ambient alias resolution and use parsed write targets across consumers. Deduplicate returned-reference work with cycle context; retain unchanged temporal selection identity so provenance memoization stays effective.
Reviewed fixes include #2041, #2465, #2830, #2881, and #2948. Remove superseded mutation representations and the ineffective per-markValue dedup layer.
Validation: 380 focused JavaScript tests passed under a 384 MiB heap cap, including the previously aborting 30-level/128-call alias regression. Six public CLI/MCP builtin tests passed. Exact pdf.js completed-workflow performance remains unmeasured.
