Jest object equality confusion (toBe vs toEqual)

Received.*serializes.*same.*string|toEqual.*pass.*with.*deep.*equality

1.Use .toEqual() for deep equality of objects and arrays
2..toBe() uses Object.is — same reference required for objects
3.For partial matching, use expect.objectContaining({key: value})
