Fine-grained reactive state management with automatic dependency tracking - Ultra-optimized, zero dependencies

/**
 * JSI Bridge for SignalForge - TypeScript Wrapper
 * 
 * This module provides a seamless bridge between JavaScript and the native JSI implementation.
 * It automatically detects if the native module is available and falls back to the pure JS
 * implementation if not.
 * 
 * Architecture:
 * - When native JSI bindings are loaded, uses direct C++ calls for maximum performance
 * - Falls back gracefully to JavaScript implementation on web or when native unavailable
 * - Provides identical API regardless of implementation (transparent to consumers)
 * - Zero-cost abstraction: no overhead when using native implementation
 * 
 * Compatible with:
 * - React Native with Hermes engine
 * - React Native with JSC (JavaScriptCore) engine
 * - Falls back on Web/Node.js environments
 */

 * Usage Example:
 * 
 * ```typescript
 * import jsiBridge from './native/jsiBridge';
 * 
 * // Check if native is available
 * console.log('Using native:', jsiBridge.isUsingNative());
 * 
 * // Create a signal (uses C++ if available)
 * const counterRef = jsiBridge.createSignal(0);

 * // Update signal (atomic version increment in C++)
 * jsiBridge.setSignal(counterRef, 1);
 * 
 * // Read value (direct C++ memory access)
 * const value = jsiBridge.getSignal(counterRef);

 * // Check version for efficient change detection
 * const version = jsiBridge.getSignalVersion(counterRef);
