A fractional search limit returns one extra result on the heap path: limit: 0.5 returns one match, and limit: 1.5 returns two. This differs from the existing slice(0, limit) behavior used by unlimited sorting, logical queries, and shouldSort: false.

Use heap selection only for positive integer limits, preserving the existing slice behavior for other values. Add regressions for string and object collections and rebuild the distributions.

Validation: six regression cases fail before the fix; all 455 tests, build, lint, typecheck, and formatting checks pass.

The Node.js CI run now reports: “This workflow run required approval but was not approved before it expired.” It has no jobs, so the failure shown is approval expiry, not a test result.

The PR is unchanged at 1dbf59f34ad98e9fe617944757a13e759b338567. Could a maintainer start a fresh CI run for this head and approve it if required? The existing validation summary is in the PR description.
