#### `CHECK_REF_COUNTED_LIFECYCLE`?
A compile-time macro that enables lifecycle validation for
reference-counted objects in debug builds.
**Definition**
```cpp
#if ASSERT_ENABLED || ENABLE(SECURITY_ASSERTIONS)
#define CHECK_REF_COUNTED_LIFECYCLE 1
#else
#define CHECK_REF_COUNTED_LIFECYCLE 0
#endif
```
**Purpose**
Detects three categories of bugs:
1. Missing adoption - Objects stored in RefPtr without using adoptRef()
2. Ref during destruction - ref() called while destructor is running
(causes dangling pointers)
3. Thread safety violations - Unsafe ref/deref across threads
**Implementation**
When enabled, RefCountDebugger adds two tracking flags:
- m_deletionHasBegun - Set when destructor starts
- m_adoptionIsRequired - Cleared when adoptRef() is called
These flags are checked on every ref()/deref() call, with assertions
failing on violations.
**Motivation**
Refactored debug code into a separate RefCountDebugger class to:
- Improve readability of core refcount logic
- Eliminate duplicate code across RefCounted, ThreadSafeRefCounted, etc.
- Simplify adding new refcount classes
**Overhead**
Zero in release builds - the flags and checks are compiled out entirely.
