I'm curious why const isNegative = val < 0 is not used? Is it because of the three exceptions listed above?

We are not actually looking at a number that is encoded as a long. Instead, we are looking at the first element of the byte array that is encoded as a number from 0 to 255.

that's my question.. wouldn't it be easier to detect negativeness by checking the number (val) rather than checking the byte array (value)?

No action is needed though.

We are checking whether the bit representation is "negative" not the number itself. Maybe the naming could use some improvement, but this is what the original implementation uses.

The tests fail if we just check if val is negative.

value[i] ^= isNegative ? 0xff : 0x00;
