+/**
+ * RFC 8785 (JCS) canonical JSON.
+ *
+ * `_canonicalizeJSON` above sorts keys and then REBUILDS an object, which loses the
+ * sort: V8 orders integer-like own properties numerically ahead of string keys whatever
+ * order they were inserted in. So `{ '10': …, '2': … }` serialized as
+ *
+ *     ours   {"2":"two","10":"ten"}
+ *     JCS    {"10":"ten","2":"two"}      (UTF-16 code-unit order)
+ *
+ * Within this library that is merely deterministic-but-nonstandard: signing and
+ * verification agree, and no forgery follows from it. Across implementations it is a
+ * verification failure — GDAF credentials exist to be checked by other parties, and a
+ * JCS-conformant verifier in any language computes a different hash and rejects a valid
+ * signature. The previous implementation acknowledged this with "do not feed integer-like
+ * keys here", which is a constraint the data cannot be relied upon to honour.
+ *
+ * This serializes directly instead of round-tripping through an object, so the order
+ * actually survives. Array.prototype.sort already compares strings by UTF-16 code unit,
+ * which is exactly what JCS specifies; the bug was never the sort.
+ *
+ * JSON.stringify is used for the leaf types on purpose: for finite numbers it produces
+ * ECMAScript Number::toString, which is what JCS mandates, and since ES2019 it emits
+ * well-formed output for lone surrogates. Both are hard to reproduce by hand and easy to
+ * get subtly wrong.
