+ * (`value → name`) mappings. The reverse-mapping entries make
+ * `Object.keys(MyEnum)` noisy when the caller only wants the human
+ * readable member names. This utility centralises the
+ * `isNaN(Number(key))` filter so call sites can ignore the
+ * implementation detail, and it caches the filtered key list per
+ * enum type for repeated lookups.
+ *
+ * Used by debug log tooling and by application code that needs to
+ * convert between an enum value and its display name (e.g. the
+ * `getCodeName` helpers in {@link CodeHelper}).
