 * - This function guarantees **stable, repeatable output** by:
 * 	 - Sorting all object keys alphabetically.
 * 	 - Recursively stabilizing nested objects and arrays.
 * 	 - Converting all `undefined` values into `null` so the output remains valid JSON.

 *   - Falling back to native JSON serialization for primitives.

 *   - Hash generation (e.g., signatures, cache keys)
