A stored document on MVStore is the live object held in the page, and MVStore
serializes pages on a background thread that any write can start through
tryCommit. Whatever a read hands out therefore must not share mutable state
with the stored instance, or a caller's in-place edit is written straight into
the store, bypasses the indexes, and can race the serialization into a
ConcurrentModificationException and a store panic.
The cursor has cloned each document it yields since 4.x, but two gaps remained:
- Document.clone() copied the top-level map and embedded documents only. A
List, Set, Map, array, byte[], Date or Calendar inside the copy was still the
instance in the store, so `found.get("tags").add(x)` reached the page.
clone() is now a deep copy: containers and arrays are copied recursively,
preserving the concrete collection class when it has a public no-arg
constructor and the comparator of sorted sets and maps; Dates and Calendars
are cloned; immutable values are shared; values of a type the copy does not
know are shared as well, which the javadoc now states.
- NitriteCollection.getById() returned the stored instance itself. It now
hands out a clone, as find() does, and returns null for a missing id instead
of passing null through the processor chain.
The extra cost is a structural copy of each result, which is what find()
already paid at the top level. No serialization round-trip is involved.

In `@nitrite/src/main/java/org/dizitart/no2/collection/NitriteDocument.java`:
- Line 187: Update NitriteDocument.clone and its recursive deepCopy flow to use
one IdentityHashMap per top-level clone, tracking source-to-destination objects
before recursively copying children across NitriteDocument, Collection, Map, and
reference-array values. Reuse tracked destinations when cycles or shared
references are encountered, and add regression tests covering cyclic values.
- Line 239: Update deepCopyMap in NitriteDocument so each map key is passed
through deepCopy using the same copy context as its value, rather than retaining
the original key. Preserve the existing recursive copying behavior for values
and ensure the copied map stores both independently copied keys and values.

Track objects during recursive cloning. When a serializable NitriteDocument, Collection, Map, or reference array contains itself, clone() dispatches back to deepCopy without cycle detection and can throw StackOverflowError. Use one IdentityHashMap per top-level clone, register each destination before copying children, and add regression tests for cyclic values.

Deep-copy mutable map keys with the same copy context as values. If a document contains a map with a mutable key such as ArrayList, deepCopyMap retains the original key. A caller can mutate that key through the clone, which changes the stored document and can make hash-based lookups fail.
