Lab: poison the prototype
An unguarded merge meets a magic key. Watch every object change.
Read the merge function and confirm it guards nothing. Merge a clean object first for the baseline, then merge the magic key and read the verdict: the pollution lands on the shared prototype, which is why one merge affects everything.
That was the whole lesson.
