Build a defensible API surface around an object by freezing all reachable properties.

Note: If you're writing an application, you probably don't want to use this package directly. You'll want to use the harden() function provided in SES to perform an all-encompassing "deep freeze" on your objects. Alternatively, if you want to test your code before using it in SES, you can import the @agoric/harden package. Note that without SES, harden() is insecure, and should be used for testing purposes only.

Please see the harden() package for more documentation.

This package (@agoric/make-hardener) provides a makeHardener() which can be used to build your own harden() function. When you call makeHardener(), you give it an iterable of stopping points (the "fringe"), and the recursive property walk will stop its search when it runs into the fringe. The resulting harden() will throw an exception if anything it freezes has a prototype that is not already in the fringe, or was frozen during the same call (and thus added to the fringe).
