+# Reproduction for sentry-javascript#19572
+
+**Issue:** https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/issues/19572
+
+## Description
+
+`localVariablesIntegration` does not capture nested object contents in AWS Lambda. Local variables that are objects appear as empty `{}` in Sentry, even though the same object attached via `Sentry.setExtra()` is fully preserved. Increasing `normalizeDepth` does not help.
+
+## Steps to Reproduce
+
+1. Export your Sentry DSN (or use the dummy one for local testing):
+   ```bash
+   export SENTRY_DSN=<your-dsn>
+   ```
+
+2. Install dependencies:
+   ```bash
+   npm install
+   ```
+
+3. Run the reproduction:
+   ```bash
+   npm start
+   ```
+
+## Expected Behavior
+
+The `payload` local variable should appear with its full nested structure in the Local Variables section, similar to how it appears when attached via `Sentry.setExtra()`.
+
+## Actual Behavior
+
+The `payload` local variable is captured as just `{}` (empty object) with no nested properties, while the exact same object attached via `Sentry.setExtra()` shows the complete structure:
+
+```
+--- Local variables captured for processRequest ---
+{
+  "simpleString": "hello world",       // ✅ primitive string captured
+  "simpleNumber": 42,                   // ✅ primitive number captured
+  "flatObject": { "key": "value", "count": 10 },  // ✅ flat object captured
+  "payload": {}                         // ❌ nested object is empty!
+}
+
+--- Same object attached via Sentry.setExtra() ---
+{
+  "user": { "id": 123, "profile": { "name": "Test User", ... } },
+  "items": [{ "id": 1, "nested": { "deep": { "value": "should be visible" } } }]
+}
+```
+
+Primitives and flat objects are captured correctly. Only deeply nested objects lose their contents.
+
+## Environment
