The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds a new fuzz test file. It does not change any production code, fix a bug, or patch a vulnerability. Fuzz tests feed random or crafted inputs to a function to help find future bugs, but adding the test itself is a defensive quality-assurance change, not a security fix.

Recommended action

No action required; treat as routine test coverage. Monitor future fuzzing results from this harness for any newly discovered crashes.

Security signals we found
