 * Canonical JSON for golden fixtures: recursively sorted object keys, 4-space
 * indent, LF line endings, single trailing newline, `undefined` object values
 * stripped (array holes/undefined entries become null, matching
 * JSON.stringify). Running the generator twice must be byte-identical — this
 * is what allows a CI git-dirty gate to detect web-pipeline drift.
