+ * Provides utilities for tagging functions with immutable metadata, cleaning stale metadata
+ * from cached modules, and creating immutable metadata objects with deep freezing.
+ *
+ * Key Features:
+ * - Immutable metadata with Proxy-based enforcement
+ * - Deep freezing of nested objects and arrays
+ * - Recursive traversal for tagging/cleaning object trees
+ * - CommonJS cache-aware metadata cleanup
+ */
+/**
+ * Creates an immutable-but-extensible metadata proxy object.
+ *
+ * @function createImmutableMetadata
+ * @param {object} initial - Initial metadata properties
+ * @returns {object} Object with immutable existing properties but allows adding new ones
+ *
+ * @description
+ * Creates an object that enforces immutability of existing properties while allowing
+ * new properties to be added. This prevents tampering with security-critical metadata
+ * while allowing runtime extension of metadata for additional context.
+ *
+ * Security features:
+ * - Existing properties cannot be modified (non-writable, non-configurable after first set)
+ * - Properties cannot be deleted
+ * - New properties can be added, which then become immutable
+ *
+ * @example
+ * const meta = createImmutableMetadata({ trusted: true, version: "1.0" });
+ * meta.author = "Alice"; // OK - new property
+ * meta.author = "Bob"; // FAIL - cannot modify after setting
+ * meta.trusted = false;  // FAIL - cannot modify existing property
+ * delete meta.version;   // FAIL - cannot delete properties

+ * - __sourceFolder: Absolute path to the folder the module was loaded from
+ * - __sourceFile: Absolute file path (for stack trace matching)
+ * - __sourceLine: Line number where function is defined (for stack trace matching)
+ *
+ * @example
+ * const modules = { math: { add: (a, b) => a + b } };
+ * tagLoadedFunctions(modules, {
+ *     trusted: true,
