Chains HTML parser quirks, deep-nesting node flattening, insertion-mode popping, form and table reordering, and DOM clobbering of the sanitiser's own depth counter, into full mutation-XSS bypasses of three DOMPurify releases in default configuration, plus a payload that survives triple HTML parsing so it still fires when markup is parsed before sanitisation.
