| `ShallowVsDeepDemo.java` | Assignment vs shallow copy vs deep copy on one `Person` graph. |
| `CloneDemo.java` | `clone()` skips the constructor, is shallow, needs `Cloneable`, and a parent that uses `new` breaks subclasses. Arrays and `ArrayList.clone()` are shallow too. |
| `src/broken/FinalFieldClone.java` | Does not compile: a `final` field cannot be deep-copied inside `clone()`. Not part of the Maven build. |
| `src/broken/ForgotToOverride.java` | Does not compile: `implements Cloneable` without a public `clone()` override leaves `clone()` protected. |
| `src/broken/WithExpression.java` | Does not compile on JDK 25: the `with` expression of JEP 468 (derived record creation) is not part of the language yet. |
| `CopyConstructorDemo.java` | Copy constructors with `final` fields, subtype slicing, and a virtual `copy()` that fixes it. |
| `SerializationCopyDemo.java` | Deep copy via `ObjectOutputStream`: `transient` loss, shared references and cycles preserved, `NotSerializableException`. |
| `RecordCopyDemo.java` | Records are only shallowly immutable: `List.copyOf` in the compact constructor, withers, a mutable `Date` component. |
| `DefensiveCopyDemo.java` | Leaks through constructor and getter; `unmodifiableList` (view) vs `List.copyOf` (snapshot). |
| `CollectionCopyDemo.java` | Every standard list, map and array copy is shallow; the deep versions. |
| `CopyOfIdentityDemo.java` | When `List.copyOf` returns the same instance and when it copies; null elements. |
| `GraphCopyDemo.java` | Shared nodes and cycles: a recursive copy constructor duplicates the shared node and overflows the stack on a cycle; an identity-map copy and serialization both handle them. |
| `SerializationRulesDemo.java` | Which constructors run during a serialization copy (classes vs records) and an `ObjectInputFilter` allow-list. |
| `RecordArrayDemo.java` | An array record component leaks through the constructor and the accessor; the generated `equals()` compares arrays by identity. |
| `DefensiveCloneDemo.java` | Why a defensive copy must not call `clone()` on a non-final parameter type (a `Date` subclass hands back itself). |
| `CopyCostDemo.java` | Indicative cost of copy constructor vs `clone()` vs serialization. Timing: results drift per run. |
| `CopyingTest.java` | Pins every claim above as an assertion (17 tests). |
| `output/01-11` | Captured runs of everything above. `10-cost.txt` is the only non-deterministic file. |
| `CopyingTest.java`, `CopyingExtrasTest.java` | Pin every claim above as an assertion (17 + 7 = 24 tests). |
| `output/01-17` | Captured runs of everything above. `10-cost.txt` is the only non-deterministic file. |
