Do not create a stack during close cleanup.

When hide is false, Line 120 creates an empty stack for a modal that was never opened. The static Map then retains a detached custom appendTo element after unmount.

Read an existing stack for the close path. Return if no stack exists. Add a test that unmounts a closed modal with a custom target.

Update toggleSiblingsFromScreenReaders to avoid calling Modal.getStackForTarget
when hide is false, since that creates and retains a stack for unopened modals;
read the existing entry from Modal.openModalStacks and return when none exists,
while preserving stack creation for the open path. Add coverage for unmounting a
closed modal using a custom appendTo target.

const idx = stack.indexOf(this.backdropId);

if (hide && idx === -1) {
stack.push(this.backdropId);
} else if (!hide && idx !== -1) {
stack.splice(idx, 1);
if (stack.length === 0) {
Modal.openModalStacks.delete(target);
}
}

const activeBackdropId = stack.length > 0 ? stack[stack.length - 1] : null;

for (const child of Array.from(target.children)) {
if (child.hasAttribute('data-popper-placement')) {
continue;
}
const shouldHide = activeBackdropId && child.id !== activeBackdropId;
shouldHide ? child.setAttribute('aria-hidden', 'true') : child.removeAttribute('aria-hidden');
}
