Since it is using writeReplace, it can indicate that CertificateRep/CertPathRep is used instead (and the arguments). likely you'll need to use the @serial javadoc tag and check the generated javadoc to verify.

The `writeReplace` methods do have `@serial` tags, and they do show up in the Serialized Form of the javadoc, ex: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/serialized-form.html#java.security.cert.Certificate

Is your comment more that these methods could more clearly specify what is returned?
