🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use weak keys for per-Awareness state.

Map strongly retains each Awareness key. agentClocks never removes these keys, and expired timers leave empty entries in agentTtlTimers. Destroyed Awareness instances can therefore remain reachable for the process lifetime.

Use WeakMap<Awareness, Map<number, ...>> for the outer containers. Keep a separate test-only timer registry if test reset still needs to cancel active timers.

minimal, and validate.

In `@src/lib/server/holds.ts` around lines 30 - 31, Change the outer containers
agentClocks and agentTtlTimers to WeakMap keyed by Awareness so destroyed
instances are not strongly retained; preserve the existing per-agent maps and
timer behavior, and add a separate test-only timer registry only if reset logic
must still cancel active timers.
