why can’t a sealed class be declared inside another class?

[Chris Lee]

Seems to work:

public data class Tenant(
    val id: TenantId,
    val status: TenantStatus,
    val jwtPublicKey: RsaPublicKey,
    val createdTimestamp : Instant
) {
    public sealed class Foo {
        public data object Foo1 : Foo()
    }
}

Thanks, IntelliJ was giving me red code on private sealed class — sealed not applicable to local class

until I completed the full declaration
