CLAUDE WATERMARK REMOVER · DESTINATION TEST

Will preventExtensions lock the contents of a cleaned text field?

No. The object becomes nonextensible, but its text changes from AB to CD.

Tested 4 November 2026 · Synthetic fixtures · Minimal DOM

What the test establishes

The destination object already contains its text property when extensibility is disabled. Updating that existing property succeeds in this observation. A restriction on adding fields therefore does not provide a content lock for a cleaned export. Check the actual exported value after any editor action rather than treating a nonextensible object as evidence that the reviewed text survived. This test deliberately keeps cleanup and object lifecycle separate: the callback returns AB, and downstream application code explicitly replaces it with CD. The resulting difference has an inspectable cause outside the removal operation.

Reproduce the observation

Save tested-app.js and reproduce.cjs together, then run node reproduce.cjs. Compare its output with the recorded observation. The harness executes the actual homepage callback in a minimal DOM and records its resulting field values and method calls. Destination operations run in Node.js; the homepage DOM is a controlled substitute. Runtime: v24.22.1. No submitted text or genuine Claude output is used.

  "extensible": false,

}

Capability boundary

Only an existing plain data property is tested. Property creation, deletion and prototype changes are not measured.

This Claude watermark remover edits a small selected character set. These callback observations do not establish authorship, detector scores, statistical-watermark removal or end-to-end browser behavior. For real work, keep the original and compare the exact result at its destination.
