Problem Statement/Rationale

When using the Clone Document button feature in MongoDB Compass, documents containing a date field formatted as EJSON (e.g. {{{}

{}}}) are incorrectly transformed. Compass duplicates the $date wrapper, producing nested $date objects.

This causes the Insert operation to fail with the error:
Unrecognized type for EJSON date: object

Action requested:
Fix the clone operation so that Compass preserves valid EJSON date structures and does not wrap $date inside another $date.

Steps to Reproduce

• Open a collection containing a document with a date field using EJSON format, for example:

• {
    "name": "support",
    "cD": { "$date": "2025-08-01T21:56:40.127Z" }
  } 

• Click Clone Document.
• Observe the generated document in the editor.
• Click Insert.

Expected Results

{
  "name": "support",
  "cD": { "$date": "2025-08-01T21:56:40.127Z" }
}

Actual Results

{
  "name": "support",
  "cD": { "$date": { "$date": "2025-08-01T21:56:40.127Z" } }
}

Additional Notes

• Issue appears consistently when cloning any document containing EJSON date values.

• The problem may be related to how Compass serializes dates while rendering JSON vs EJSON modes.

• Reproduced on a fresh install of Compass 1.48.2.
