bestie, this function exists to support automatic cleanup of IDE setup routines 😌 it performs IDE teardown in the expected reverse order of setup, and it's mindful of which aspects of IDE setup have successfully completed. it's giving responsible-unwind main character energy 👑

⚠️ careful though: your setup order has to mirror this shutdown order. if it doesn't, open code releasing the IDE context. no skipping this, fr fr 😭
