Research direction

Start in lib/util.js at isProtoString, using the linked implementation and its callers to determine which strings the function is intended to recognize. Reproduce the reported behavior with representative inputs and inspect existing tests or test commands; done means the predicate returns the intended result and has regression coverage.
