🔖 release v1.7.0

## 1.7.0

* [FEAT] add `DecodeOptions.throwOnLimitExceeded` for strict limit enforcement on parameter, list, and depth overflows
* [FIX] tolerate malformed UTF-8 when encoding `ByteBuffer` values to match Node `Buffer.toString('utf8')`
* [FIX] encode `ByteBuffer` values via charset even when `encode=false` (avoid `Instance of 'ByteBuffer'` output)
* [FIX] ensure invalid charset in `Utils.encode` consistently throws `ArgumentError`
* [FIX] improve merge semantics for lists/maps (hole replacement, undefined normalization under `parseLists=false`, and non-mutating list/set merges)
* [FIX] add runtime validation and DecodeOptions constructor asserts for invalid charsets and inconsistent dot options
* [CHORE] refactor encode/merge internals to stack-based frames (`EncodeFrame`, `MergeFrame`, `MergePhase`) for deep-nesting safety
* [CHORE] expand coverage for encode/decode/merge edge cases and add a shared `FakeEncoding` test helper
