• assert JSON.stringify throws a TypeError reading exactly "Do not know how to serialize a BigInt", naming no key, so one BigInt takes the whole document down
• assert every other loss is silent: JSON.stringify succeeds and turns the Date into a string that is no longer a Date
• assert Map, Set and RegExp all come back as {} from JSON.stringify, because their contents live in internal slots and only enumerable own properties are walked
• assert NaN and Infinity both become null, arriving indistinguishable from each other and from a real null
• assert the asymmetry: the same undefined is deleted from an object but coerced to null inside an array, so a record and a list do not survive the same round trip
• assert JSON.stringify(undefined) returns the value undefined rather than a string, so sending it directly sends invalid JSON
• assert superjson round-trips the whole fixture back to its own types: Date, Map, Set, bigint and RegExp, with NaN, Infinity and the exact 2^53+1 bigint value intact
• assert Number() on that bigint silently returns 2^53, which is why the throw exists and why the obvious workaround is wrong
• assert a Map keeps non-string keys, while the hand-rolled Object.fromEntries fix stringifies a number key and collapses an object key onto "[object Object]"
• assert both halves of the undefined asymmetry are repaired: the object key exists again and the array slot holds a real undefined rather than a hole
• assert restoration rebuilds rather than aliases, so the returned Date is a new object with the same instant
• assert nesting is not special-cased: a Date inside an array inside an object, and a Date held as a Map value, both come back
• assert negative zero survives superjson but not JSON.stringify, by the same route as NaN and Infinity: tagged "number" and carried as the string "-0"
• assert serialize returns exactly {json, meta}, with json being ordinary JSON that JSON.stringify accepts, and a rebuilt tree that does not alias the input
• assert meta.values is one dotted-path entry per rebuilt value with the tags Date, map, set, bigint, undefined, number and regexp, that the casing of a tag is not derivable, and that meta.v is 1
• assert URL is a second capitalised tag that superjson restores, and that plain JSON.stringify flattens a URL to its href because URL has a toJSON of its own, so toJSON is not Date-specific
• assert a path segment containing a dot is escaped in the meta key and that such a key round-trips intact
• assert meta is absent entirely rather than empty when nothing needed annotating, so reading result.meta.values on plain data throws
• assert reaching one object by two paths brings meta back on its own with referentialEqualities and no values, keyed by identity rather than by value, and that the annotation re-links the two copies so x === y survives the round trip
• assert deserialize takes the split back as an object, so the two pieces can travel separately
• assert stringify is exactly JSON.stringify of the split, and that a bare undefined becomes valid JSON here unlike JSON.stringify
• assert an unregistered class instance keeps its data, loses its prototype and methods, and is not annotated at all
• assert a function is left in json by serialize as a live reference and is only dropped by the JSON.stringify inside stringify, so json is typed JSONValue but is not always a JSON value
• assert an unregistered symbol value takes that same two-step path, and that plain JSON.stringify drops a symbol the same asymmetric way it drops undefined
• assert an Invalid Date is NOT restored: it is unannotated, passed through into json, then turned into null by Date.prototype.toJSON at the stringify step
• assert a TypeError comes back as a plain Error with the stack dropped, while JSON.stringify reports any Error as {} because message and stack are own but non-enumerable and name is not an own property
• assert the subclass survives only as data: the tag is the capitalised "Error" for every Error and the name string is reassigned onto a base Error, so err.name still reads TypeError while instanceof TypeError is false
• assert the dropped stack is opt-in rather than policy: allowErrorProps('stack') on a private instance carries it through stringify and parse, while the default instance measured above does not
• assert registerClass restores instanceof and methods and annotates the value as ["class", name]
• assert deserializing a class name this end never registered throws rather than degrading to a plain object
• assert registerClass mutates the singleton shared by every importer of the default export, while a private SuperJSON instance keeps its own registry
