+# Environment-variant tokens that defeat byte-for-byte stdout comparison without
+# indicating any Perry defect. Scrubbed SYMMETRICALLY from both node and perry
+# output before the equality check (see normalize()).
+#
+#   1. console.time/timeEnd/timeLog durations. Node's formatTime renders a live
+#      hrtime delta as the raw float `${ms}ms` (or `${s}s`, or `m:ss.mmm`), so the
+#      number is non-deterministic run-to-run AND has a variable decimal count —
+#      node itself prints e.g. 0.004ms / 0.004ms / 0.003ms, and 2.59ms / 2.68ms,
+#      across runs of the same program. The duration always follows the timer
+#      label as `<label>: <dur>`, so we anchor on `: ` (a lookbehind) and mask the
+#      numeric value while KEEPING the unit — a dropped `ms`, a wrong label, or a
+#      missing trailing arg still surfaces as a diff, and the `: ` anchor keeps
+#      ordinary numbers elsewhere in the output untouched.
+#   2. Stack-trace frames. console.trace, thrown-error inspection, and `[cause]`
+#      blocks print `    at <path>:<line>:<col>` plus node-internal ESM-loader
+#      frames Perry cannot reproduce (and Perry's own native-symbol /
+#      `(… N more identical frames)` placeholders). Paths and line numbers vary by
+#      machine, so whole frame lines are dropped. Frames are always indented >=4
+#      spaces, which keeps ordinary 2-space-per-level inspect output untouched.
