+Scopes and ScopeArenas are never dropped internally.
+An app will always occupy as much memory as its biggest form.
+
+This means we need to handle all specifics of drop *here*. It's easier
+to reason about centralizing all the drop logic in one spot rather than scattered in each module.
+
+Broadly speaking, we want to use the remove_nodes method to clean up *everything*
+This will drop listeners, borrowed props, and hooks for all components.
+We need to do this in the correct order - nodes at the very bottom must be dropped first to release
+the borrow chain.
+
+Once the contents of the tree have been cleaned up, we can finally clean up the
+memory used by ScopeState itself.
+
+questions:
+should we build a vcomponent for the root?
+- probably - yes?
+- store the vcomponent in the root dom
+
+- 1: Use remove_nodes to use the ensure_drop_safety pathway to safely drop the tree
+- 2: Drop the ScopeState itself
