Track enumerable symbol-keyed properties.

If a reactive payload object has an existing symbol-keyed property, this loop does not read its value. A change to that property alone therefore does not schedule host:update:reactivity, and the client revision remains stale. Vue's previous deep watch reads enumerable symbol-keyed properties. Add the same traversal here. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

lines 355 - 356:
Update the traverse function’s property walk to also read and recursively
traverse values of enumerable symbol-keyed properties, using the existing seen
tracking so changes to those properties schedule host:update:reactivity.
