// Class fields typed `C | null` / `C | undefined` hold the instance pointer
// itself (no union box). This pins every way such a field is read and
// written: tests, narrowing, `??`, `?.`, equality, truthiness, whole-value
// escapes (arrays, calls, returns, closures), reassignment and self-
// assignment, constructor parameters that are and are not projection-only,
// subclass instances in base-typed fields, shared-field reads across a
// class union, `any` views (reads and writes through the dynamic bridge),
// JSON, cycles for the collector, and a long chain's teardown.
