/**
 * @module node-opcua-address-space
 *
 * Extracted from namespace_impl.ts to break an import cycle.
 *
 * namespace_impl builds `_constructors_map` at module scope, which references
 * UAMethodImpl and seven sibling constructors. ua_method_impl imported
 * _handle_hierarchy_parent back from namespace_impl, closing the loop.
 *
 * Under CommonJS that is harmless: whichever module loads second sees a partially
 * populated exports object, and nothing touches the missing half until a function runs.
 * Under ESM the class declarations are in the temporal dead zone while the cycle is being
 * evaluated, so building a map of constructors at module scope throws a ReferenceError.
 *
 * This module depends only on base_node_impl and leaf packages, so nothing points back
 * into namespace_impl and the cycle is gone rather than moved.
