MessageChannel gives two linked MessagePorts for direct two-way messaging — used with iframes, workers, and postMessage. Messages are copied by the structured clone algorithm (handles objects, arrays, Maps, dates, even cycles — but not functions or DOM nodes). structuredClone(obj) exposes this as a deep-copy utility.
