Path pattern *[*].samples.*.runId doesn't work correctly for nested arrays

[thienscmon]

First, thank you for your work on this library! We're actively trying to migrate from fast-redact to @pinojs/redact because of the competitive performance improvements your library offers. However, we've encountered an issue with a specific path pattern that's blocking our migration.

Description

The path pattern ["*[*].samples.*.runId"] doesn't work correctly in @pinojs/redact but works as expected in fast-redact. This pattern should redact runId fields in samples arrays at any nesting level, including within other arrays.

Expected Behavior

The pattern ["*[*].samples.*.runId"] should redact all runId properties within samples arrays, regardless of where they appear in the nested structure (at root level, inside objects, or inside other arrays).

Actual Behavior

When using @pinojs/redact, the redaction doesn't work correctly for this path pattern, while fast-redact handles it properly.

Reproduction

import redactModule from "@pinojs/redact";
// import redactModule from "fast-redact"; // This works correctly

const redact = redactModule({
  paths: ["*[*].samples.*.runId"],
  serialize: false,
  censor: undefined, // with `fast-redact`
  // OR
  remove: true, // with `@pinojs/redact`
});

const samples = [
  {
    runId: 2,
    a: "123",
  },
];

const result = redact({
  samples: samples,
  a: {
    b: {
      c: {
        samples: samples,
      },
      array: [
        {
          samples: samples,
        },
      ],
    },
  },
  rows: [
    {
      samples: samples,
      array: [
        {
          samples: samples,
        },
      ],
    },
  ],
});

console.log(JSON.stringify(result, null, 2));

pinojs/redact Output

{
  "samples": [
    {
      "runId": 2,
      "a": "123"
    }
  ],
  "a": {
    "b": {
      "c": {
        "samples": [
          {
            "runId": 2,
            "a": "123"
          }
        ]
      },
      "array": [
        {
          "samples": [
            {
              "runId": 2,
              "a": "123"
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  "rows": [
    {
      "samples": [
        {
          "a": "123"
        }
      ],
      "array": [
        {
          "samples": [
            {
              "runId": 2,
              "a": "123"
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Expected Output (fast-redact)

{
  "samples": [
    {
      "a": "123"
    }
  ],
  "a": {
    "b": {
      "c": {
        "samples": [
          {
            "a": "123"
          }
        ]
      },
      "array": [
        {
          "samples": [
            {
              "a": "123"
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  "rows": [
    {
      "samples": [
        {
          "a": "123"
        }
      ],
      "array": [
        {
          "samples": [
            {
              "a": "123"
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Notice that runId is removed from all samples arrays at every nesting level.

Environment

• @pinojs/redact: [0.4.0]
• fast-redact: [3.5.0] (works correctly)
• Node.js: [22.20.0]
