# BEFORE: getRIndex(names, x) = O(N) × 13 calls per callback × N callbacks = O(N²) per sort.
#         sortCallbacks is called on every Register()/Remove()/Replace().
#         For N=26 default callbacks: ~8,788 comparisons per startup.
# AFTER:  namesMap[x] = O(1). Full sort is O(N). Total startup: O(N²) → O(N log N).
# Triggered by: GORM startup (init default callbacks), plugin registration, test setup.
