+// Fuzz harness: msgpack::object -> native type conversion surface.
+//
+// Threat model (why this harness should find bugs):
+// - Applications that receive attacker-controlled msgpack immediately convert
+//   msgpack::object values into native C++ types (as<T>() / convert()).
+//   The production harness (unpack_pack_fuzzer) never converts: the whole
+//   conversion surface is dark (report 20261108: v1/object.hpp 519 dark
+//   lines, 109/140 functions dark; int/ext/fixint/wstring/float/raw/string
+//   adaptors at 0%; vector/map/timespec adaptors are not even instantiated
+//   in the coverage build).
+// - Expected bug classes: type confusion in convert specialisations (wrong
+//   union member read), integer overflow and float-cast overflow in numeric
+//   range checks (UBSan), OOB in container conversions that walk object
+//   arrays/maps, UTF-8 decoding bugs in the std::wstring adaptor, and
+//   ext/raw length handling on crafted lengths.
+// - Mismatched conversions throw msgpack::type_error: that is the documented
+//   API contract, so each conversion is guarded individually and nothing is
+//   silenced. Numeric sinks move raw bits (never value-cast) so the harness
+//   itself cannot raise float-cast-overflow that the library is not
+//   responsible for.
+// - The zone deep-copy (msgpack::object(o, zone)) exercises the
+//   object_with_zone clone path and instantiates the zone allocator, which
+//   no harness reaches today.
