Dario LipicarandClaude Opus 5 3da8de93df fix(codec): a whole-valued float still decodes as an integer (#32)
The signedness/range check in #31 went one step too far: it rejected 3.0 for an
`int`, not just 3.7. That broke four long-standing test_basic_module_cpp cases
(`addInts(3.0, 4.0)`, `echoInt(42.0)`, `isPositive(5.0)`, `twoArgs(hi, 3.0)`)
which pass a whole-valued double where the contract declares an integer.

They are right and the check was wrong. JSON does not distinguish 3 from 3.0,
and this codec already says so in the other direction — Codec<double> accepts an
integral number because "2 and 2.0 are the same value to JSON, and every encoder
that sees a whole double may emit either". The two directions have to agree.

It also matters in practice rather than in principle: logoscore's CLI types its
arguments by parsing, so `logoscore call m addInts 3.0 4.0` produces JSON floats.
Refusing them rejects a caller over a spelling of the same number.

So a float decodes as an integer when it has no fractional part and fits;
3.7 is still refused, which is what the original change was actually for. Bounds
are strict on the upper end for the same reason as the QJsonValue guard:
double(int64max) rounds UP to 2^63, so `<=` would admit a value the cast cannot
represent.

verified: test-modules 176/176 with the four cases green again, and the
conformance matrix unchanged at 170 pass / 2 xfail — hostile/int/fractional
still expects dispatch_failed and gets it.
