- * `fromUnknown` validates the Tuple representation and runs every element's

- * element stages. This collapsed input boundary keeps a Tuple to at most one
- * `.parent` suffix even when its element Types have different pipeline depths.
- *
- * A Tuple must be recognized by `Array.isArray`, have exactly the declared
- * length, be dense, and have no own properties other than `length` and the
- * indexed data properties for its elements. Array subclasses, custom-prototype
- * arrays, and foreign-realm arrays are accepted when their own data
- * representation is valid. Sparse arrays, accessor elements, and excess
- * properties are rejected.

+ * `fromUnknown` validates the Tuple representation and runs every element's
+ * complete Type pipeline. By default, it returns the first issue. Pass `{

+ *
+ * `from` accepts the Tuple Output. When any element Type has a parent,
+ * `from.parent` accepts a Tuple of root element Outputs and runs all remaining
+ * element stages. This collapsed input boundary keeps a Tuple to at most one
+ * `.parent` suffix even when its element Types have different pipeline depths.
+ *
+ * A Tuple must be recognized by `Array.isArray`, have exactly the declared
+ * length, be dense, and have no own properties other than `length` and the
+ * indexed data properties for its elements. Foreign-realm arrays are accepted
+ * when their own data representation is valid. Sparse arrays, accessor

+ * Evolu's recursive platform-independent structured-cloneable data domain.

+ * Data is intentionally limited to values supported by the structured clone

+ * includes supported JavaScript primitives and the runtime representations
+ * defined by {@link array}, {@link Object}, {@link set}, {@link map}, {@link Date},
+ * and {@link Uint8Array}. Array elements, Object properties, Set elements, and
+ * Map keys and values must also be Data. Cyclic and shared data graphs are
+ * supported. Raw {@link ArrayBuffer} values are excluded; represent bytes with a
+ * Uint8Array.
+ *
+ * Functions, arbitrary class instances, and other behavioral objects are not
+ * Data. The structural representations follow the corresponding Evolu Type
+ * rules. As with every Type operation, classification assumes trusted
+ * application code or audited dependencies; it is not a security boundary for
+ * adversarial Proxies or forged built-in object tags.
+ *
+ * TypeScript cannot express dense Arrays, exact property descriptors, object
+ * prototypes, or the absence of custom properties on built-ins. Use the runtime
+ * {@link Data} Type when a value crosses an unknown boundary.
+ *
+ * ### Example
+ *
+ * ```ts
+ * import { assertOk, assertSame, assertType, Data } from "@evolu/common";
+ *
+ * const value: unknown = {
+ *   user: { name: "Ada" },
+ *   scores: new Map([["logic", 100]]),
