**`structuredClone` preserves graph identity.**

The recursion-only cycle guard is replaced by a GC-visible source-to-clone memo, so
cycles and repeated references keep their identity across objects, arrays, maps,
sets, regexps and buffers — a value reached twice now clones once and both edges
point at the same clone, as the structured-clone algorithm requires. Clone failures
raise `DataCloneError` as a `DOMException`, which let the `perf_hooks` `TypeError`
workaround go, and traversal roots are cleared on both the success and failure paths
so a completed clone does not retain the graph it walked.

Do not claim immediate failure cleanup until the throw path clears the memo.

In crates/perry-runtime/src/builtins/globals.rs:692-735, both clone entrypoints call clear_structured_clone_memo() only after js_structured_clone_inner returns. The same code states that runtime throws use longjmp, so a DataCloneError skips that call. reset_structured_clone_state() runs only before a later clone. A failed clone can therefore retain the graph in the thread-local memo. Clear the memo at the failure boundary, or change this entry to describe the deferred reset.

In `@changelog.d/8250-structured-clone-graph-identity.md` around lines 7 - 9,
Update the structured clone failure path around js_structured_clone_inner and
clear_structured_clone_memo so a DataCloneError thrown via longjmp cannot bypass
memo cleanup; otherwise revise the changelog claim to state that failed-clone
state is reset only before a later clone.

Apply the same fix in
`@crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/tests/runtime_roots/hook_dispatch_handles.rs` around
lines 345 - 352.


The memo's entries are visited as mutable roots (`scan_structured_clone_memo_roots_mut`)
and its address-keyed lookup is rebuilt after visitation, because a copying collection
relocates either side. Registering that scanner is what the map clone test now does
explicitly: the GC test harness clears `MUTABLE_ROOT_SCANNERS` so a collection sees
exactly the roots a test installs, so without it the memo is decorative under test and
a clone's address is never rewritten across a forced copying minor.

Closes #8232.
