Summary

Fixes #174 (Low; contract violation + minor info-shape leak).

interpolate and the ICU arg/select/plural sites used the in operator (and resolveKey walked key segments without a guard), which resolves inherited Object.prototype members. A placeholder or key matching toString/valueOf/constructor/__proto__/… was treated as present even when params/messages didn't own it, substituting the inherited value (e.g. Hello {toString} → the native function source) instead of leaving the literal {name} intact.

Fix

All lookup sites use Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(...):

  • translate.ts: interpolate placeholder check + defensive guard in resolveKey
  • icu.ts: shared hasParam() helper used by the arg, select, and plural cases

Verification

  • New tests: {toString}/{constructor} placeholders left intact; real params still substitute; resolveKey returns undefined for inherited names; ICU arg/select unaffected by inherited names. All three fail on the pre-fix code.
  • i18n suites: 110 pass / 0 fail. tsc --noEmit clean.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

interpolate/ICU arg+select+plural used the 'in' operator (and resolveKey
traversed segments without a guard), so a placeholder or key colliding
with an Object.prototype member (toString, constructor, __proto__, …) was
treated as present and substituted with the inherited value instead of
being left as the literal {name} — a contract violation with a minor
native-function-source info leak.

All lookup sites now use Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call.

Fixes #174
