 - **Parameters:**
   - `csv` - CSV string to parse
-  - `options` - PapaParse options (optional)
+  - `options` - `Partial<CsvParseOptions>` (header, delimiter, typing and size limit; optional)
 - **Returns:** Array of objects (headers become keys)
 - **Throws:** Error if CSV is malformed

 - **Parameters:**
   - `data` - Array of objects to convert
-  - `options` - PapaParse unparse options (optional)
+  - `options` - `Partial<CsvBuildOptions> & { sanitize?: boolean }` (optional)
 - **Returns:** CSV string with headers

 #### `sanitizeCsvValue(value: unknown): string`
 
-Escape value for safe CSV output.
+Neutralize formula injection in a value bound for CSV.
 
 - **Parameters:**
   - `value` - Value to sanitize
-- **Returns:** Escaped string (quotes escaped, nulls → empty string)
+- **Returns:** `String(value)`, prefixed with `'` when its first non-whitespace
+  character is `=`, `+`, `-`, `@`, `|`, or `%`. Nothing else is altered: quotes,
+  commas and newlines are passed through for the serializer to quote, and `null`
+  / `undefined` stringify to `"null"` / `"undefined"`.
 
 #### `sanitizeCsvArray(values: unknown[]): string[]`
 
-Sanitize array of values for CSV.
+Apply `sanitizeCsvValue` to each element.
 
 - **Parameters:**
   - `values` - Array to sanitize
 - **Returns:** Array of sanitized strings
 
-#### `sanitizeCsvObject<T>(obj: T): T`
+#### `sanitizeCsvObject<T extends Record<string, unknown>>(obj: T): Record<string, string>`
 
-Recursively sanitize all string values in object.
+Apply `sanitizeCsvValue` to each own enumerable value of an object.
 
 - **Parameters:**
   - `obj` - Object to sanitize
-- **Returns:** New object with sanitized values
+- **Returns:** A flat string map — one level only, every value stringified (an
+  array value becomes its comma-joined `String()` form)
