/**
 * EventManager — lifecycle-scoped event registry backed by AbortController.
 *
 * Web Component usage:
 *
 *   private _events = new EventManager();
 *
 *   connectedCallback() {
 *     this._events
 *       .on(this._input, 'input', this.handleInput)
 *       .on(this, 'click', this.handleClick, { capture: true });
 *   }
 *
 *   disconnectedCallback() {
 *     this._events.abort(); // removes all listeners, resets for next connect
 *   }
 *
 * Page development usage:
 *
 *   function initSection(container: HTMLElement) {
 *     const scope = new EventManager();
 *
 *     scope
 *       .on(input, 'input', handleSearch)
 *       .delegate(container, '[data-action]', 'click', (ev, target) => {
 *         handleAction(target.getAttribute('data-action'));
 *       });
 *
 *     return () => scope.abort(); // call on section teardown
 *   }
