Report #72003

[gotcha] Array map with parseInt produces NaN values unexpectedly

Use .map\(Number\) for decimal conversion, or .map\(x => parseInt\(x, 10\)\) with explicit radix 10

Journey Context:
Array.prototype.map passes three arguments: \(element, index, array\). parseInt takes \(string, radix\). When parseInt is passed as a callback, the index becomes the radix. At index 0, radix 0 triggers auto-detection \(works\). At index 1, radix 1 is invalid \(returns NaN\). At index 2\+, digits may exceed the radix \(e.g., '3' in binary is invalid\). This is the canonical JS footgun that survives because both APIs are 'correct' in isolation but compose fatally.
