Generally looks fine to me, adding @CvvT as a reviewer due to greater familiarity with the event system for final approval.
Minor nit: we don't need the # Summary in the PR description, or that it was split from #743. It also does not need to document that it adds a unit test. I'll update the PR description, but just making a note.

This PR looks good to me, but I am not sure whether this is necessary. Did you encounter any issues because of too many stale observers?
Add prune_dead_observers() to Subject, called during register_observer() to eagerly clean up stale weak references. Previously dead observers were only cleaned up during notify_observers(), which could leave orphaned entries indefinitely if notifications were infrequent. Includes a test verifying that registering a new observer prunes stale entries from a previously dropped observer.

Prune stale
Weakreferences from the observer list every time a new observer is registered, preventing unbounded growth when observers are dropped without explicit removal.
