RETAINED INSTANCE OWNERSHIP

Keep package DOM.
Release it exactly.

MOUNT

A host ref and mount effect create the real CodeMirror view.

UPDATE

Retain identity

Later dependency effects update the same package instance.

INPUT

Sync both ways

Editor transactions update ordinary application state.

ERROR

Recover locally

Package update failures remain accessible application-owned state.

RELEASE

Destroy exactly

Conditional and document release destroy the owned view once.

BOUNDARY

Add no registry

No React island, ResourceIR, widget registry, or component runtime ships.
