Research direction

Start by locating the CudaEvent and HipEvent implementations and reading how their underlying event handles are created and destroyed. Verify the teardown behavior with the project’s available tests or leak-checking tools, and consider the issue complete when both event types release their underlying resources without breaking existing event behavior.

Description
