Grammar
reference
In the below example, the reference by the word 'your' is a bit confusing.
A : You have spilled coffee on your table.
B : So have I.
So I have.
And I've tried to get them back to the original sentences as you see below,
So have I = I also have spilled coffee on your table.
So I have = I have spilled coffee on my table, indeed.
Are those of two underlined parts to be the correct rewording?

Hello, Cho: I will leave your great question to the experts. You probably already know this, but sometimes "So I have" has a sarcastic or threatening meaning: Tom: Hey, dude, you have just stepped on my foot. Joe (a bully): So I have!

Thank you for the answer,
It is such a vivid context that I easily understand what you mean.
Thank you for this authentic information that I usually can't expect to learn from any stuffy grammar books I have.
