+ * The canonical form of a segment param value.
+ *
+ * `getSegmentParams()` on the server and `useSegmentParams()` on the client
+ * must return the same value — same prototype, same own properties. This
+ * module is how that is guaranteed, and the mechanism matters:
+ *
+ * **Both sides are images of one normalizer.** A codec's output is deep-cloned
+ * into a closed canonical domain at coercion time, and *that clone* is what the
+ * server returns and what goes on the wire. Server and client agree by
+ * construction, because neither holds the codec's original.
+ *
+ * That replaces predicting what React Flight would do to an arbitrary value.
+ * Prediction is what the previous design attempted and it cannot be finished:
+ * the question "will Flight's decode output be observably identical to this
+ * input?" ranges over every way a JS object can carry state that is not in its
+ * serialization — own keys, enumerability, symbols, holes, accessors,
+ * subclassing, exotic objects — and a `Proxy` defeats it outright, since a
+ * lying `getPrototypeOf` trap makes any static check unsound. Twelve review
+ * findings on PR #992 were each one more case of that set, and the set does
+ * not close.
+ *
+ * Normalizing closes it. The only remaining question is whether Flight
+ * round-trips the normalizer's *output range* — a finite domain we defined,
+ * covered by `tests/e2e/segment-params.test.ts` against the real serializer.
+ *
+ * ## The domain
+ *
+ * - `undefined`, `null`, `string`, `number`, `boolean`, `bigint`
+ * - null-prototype objects, own enumerable string keys only
+ * - dense arrays
+ * - `Date`, `Map`, `Set` — rebuilt, never the codec's instance
+ *
+ * ...and it is a **tree**: no value appears twice, and nothing is cyclic.
+ * That is not a simplification, it is the last prediction being removed.
+ * Flight encodes a `Date` by value at each occurrence but tracks plain objects
+ * for reference dedup, so preserving aliasing would carry it across for some
+ * types and drop it for others — and knowing which is exactly the kind of
+ * guess this design exists to stop making (codex, PR #992). A tree has no
+ * sharing to preserve or lose, so what Flight does about it is unobservable.
+ *
+ * Anything else throws, naming the param and what it was. Note what is *not*
+ * a rejection: a `Date` subclass normalizes to a `Date`, a decorated array to
+ * a plain one, a sparse array to a dense one, a getter to the value it
+ * returned. Those used to be twelve separate checks. They are not divergences
+ * any more, because the normalization happens once and both sides see its
+ * result — so they need no checks at all.
+ *
+ * Own properties that Flight would drop (non-enumerable, symbol-keyed) are
+ * dropped here instead, symmetrically. Prototype pollution is handled by the
+ * same pass: `__proto__` is never copied, and every object is
+ * `Object.create(null)` (design/13-security.md #36b/#36c, TIM-873).
+ *
+ * ## The prototype flip
+ *
+ * Flight refuses to serialize a null-prototype object, so the canonical form
+ * cannot go on the wire as-is. `toPlainRecord` and `toNullProtoRecord` flip
+ * the prototype on the way out and back. They are exact inverses and both

+ *    client keeps the previous tree and splices the new payload in at the
+ *    first updated `SegmentOutlet`, so the payload's own provider lands
+ *    *below* the retained region — and the retained region's root is the
+ *    *departing* route's provider, which therefore wins for every reader in a
+ *    skipped layout. Wrapping something above it does not help: context
+ *    resolves to the nearest provider, and the departing one is nearer.
+ *    Params belong to the *navigation*, so the provider has to be owned by the
+ *    client, above the merge point, and there must be exactly one.
+ *
+ * 2. **Element props are not readable at the instant the root resolves.**
+ *    Flight outlines a React element's props and fills the record in after the
+ *    root row resolves, so a reader that unblocks on the root sees `{}` — and
+ *    since the object is filled *in place*, its identity never changes and any
+ *    memo keyed on it caches the empty snapshot permanently. A plain model
+ *    field has no such window: the root chunk stays blocked until everything
+ *    it references has resolved.
