Description

I'd love to build an automatic GC for mst-reference-pool.

Right now, you have to pass in any node that might reference an instance in the pool. It's not the end of the world, but it is rather manual.

```ts
store.gc([
store.currentUser,
store.friends,
store.postStore.postAuthors
])
```

It would be cool if you could just have it traverse the tree itself and find any locations that might contain references itself. And probably cache that to make it fast.

```ts
store.gc()
```

Research direction

The issue provides no file or test entry points; start by locating the existing store.gc implementation and the reference-pool traversal logic. Define how store.gc() should discover references without explicit nodes, how cached traversal stays current, and what tests demonstrate equivalent results to the current manual API.
