+// Following the same pattern as counterVideoFrames in common.cc (line 32-82).
+// We trade a tiny memory leak at exit for crash-free shutdown.
+//
+// Rationale:
+// During process exit, static destructors may run in unpredictable order.
+// Codec destructors call Unregister(), which accesses these vectors/mutexes.
+// If vectors are destroyed before codecs, we get use-after-free crashes.
+// Solution: Never destroy the vectors (heap-allocated, never freed).
+//
+// Memory cost: ~200 bytes per process (4 vectors + 4 mutexes)
+// Safety gain: Zero crashes during shutdown

+  // receive napi_env as a parameter (only opaque void* hint).
+  //
+  // This means we CANNOT reject pending promises here, as promise rejection
+  // requires valid napi_env to create Error objects and call napi_reject_deferred().
+  //
+  // Alternatives explored and rejected:
+  // 1. napi_set_instance_data + finalize callback
+  //    - Finalizer also doesn't receive env (only node_api_basic_env)
+  //    - Cannot execute JavaScript or manipulate promises
+  //
+  // 2. Store napi_env in global variable
+  //    - Undefined behavior per N-API spec
+  //    - Env becomes invalid when addon unloads
+  //    - Passing env between workers is forbidden
+  //
+  // 3. Use TSFN (ThreadSafeFunction) for cleanup
+  //    - Creating TSFN requires valid env
+  //    - Cannot create TSFN during teardown (env already invalidating)
+  //
+  // 4. Use node_api_post_finalizer
+  //    - Only available in basic finalizers, not cleanup hooks
+  //    - Still doesn't provide full env access
+  //
+  // DECISION: Accept promise orphaning during ABNORMAL shutdown only.
+  //
+  // This is acceptable because:
+  // - W3C WebCodecs spec does not define behavior for environment teardown
+  // - Normal shutdown (await codec.close()) works correctly via TSFN callbacks
+  // - Abnormal shutdown (process.exit, worker termination) is edge case
+  // - Promises are garbage collected along with environment
