AI usage

Used Claude, asked it lots of questions about what it was doing and why, answers sounded reasonable.

Once this is reviewed, we should rebase it on #49655 before this so we can check it properly.

Sorry Jon, this is me doing a crap job of reviewing AI code; I'm redoing this and being more thorough about my checking. Non-Claude models seem to have gotten better at convincing me they're correct without actually being more correct.

[thisisnic]

The changes on this PR won't affect R_NamespaceRegistry but we don't use it - it's from cpp11 who did a release super recently so they no longer use it.

Thanks for this
