Template
Investigate the suspected memory leak described: {leak_evidence}. Step 1: Characterize the growth pattern from the evidence: linear, stepwise, or triggered by specific operations. Step 2: List the common retention causes for the language/runtime in question: unremoved listeners, unbounded caches, closure captures, static collections, circular references with finalizers, connection pools. Step 3: Map each candidate cause to the code paths active during the observed growth, ranking by plausibility. Step 4: For the top candidate, describe the exact heap-analysis or instrumentation step that would confirm it. Step 5: Propose the fix and a leak-regression test using memory assertions or heap snapshots.
