Research direction

Start by reading the existing Object declarations in lib.d.ts and the proposal linked in the issue, then trace how narrowing is handled for built-in predicates. Done means Object.hasOwn is represented in lib.d.ts and its use provides the intended narrowing behavior, with the relevant compiler tests updated or added.
