The report, exactly as it was filed.

Nothing paraphrased or cleaned up. The mess is the thing under test.

Why this commit
The first parent of the fix commit 411edae06129af7816e37cd7904869e6e45618d2, which GitHub binds to this issue via CLOSED_EVENT_COMMIT. Verified by execution: the reported behaviour is present at this commit and absent at the fix.
How the text was obtained
Fetched verbatim via the GitHub GraphQL API. Title on the first line, body unmodified below it. Nothing was paraphrased, cleaned up, or supplemented.

02What counts as reproducing it

The bar, written down before the run.

expected.reportedFailurecommitted with the case
Symptom
Mustache.render("{{#nums}}{{.}}, {{/nums}}", {nums: [0, 1, 2]}) produces '[object Object], 1, 2, '; the fix makes it produce '0, 1, 2, '.
Expression
Mustache.render("{{#nums}}{{.}}, {{/nums}}", {nums: [0, 1, 2]})
Reported output
"[object Object], 1, 2, "
Where that came from
Proposed by a model reading this report and nothing else -- it never saw the repository or the fix commit -- and read back as a claim by the same parser the harvest uses, SAME_LINE form: `Mustache.render("{{#nums}}{{.}}, {{/nums}}", {nums: [0, 1, 2]}) //=> "[object Object], 1, 2, "`. The report sat in the CODE_NO_ANNOTATION_AT_ALL bucket, which no regex reaches. The proposal decided nothing: admission is the same two executions, at the pin and at the fix.
