02What counts as reproducing it

The bar, written down before the run.

expected.reportedFailurecommitted with the case
Symptom
dotProp.has(({foo: undefined}), 'foo') produces false; the fix makes it produce true.
Expression
dotProp.has(({foo: undefined}), 'foo')
Reported output
false
Where that came from
Read mechanically from the report's fenced code, SAME_LINE form: `console.log(dotProp.has(a, 'foo')) // false`.
