Variable-length integer decoders accepted continuation chains long enough to push the running shift past the bit-width of their accumulator, producing out-of-range values that propagated into buffer allocation hints and on-disk size fields. Mirror the bound from canonical Git's `unpack_object_header_buffer`[1]: reject any continuation byte that would shift past the type's capacity. The same rule applies to `Scanner.readLength`, the package-local `decodeLEB128`/`decodeLEB128ByteReader`, and `ReadVariableWidthInt`; `decodeLEB128` now returns an error so callers surface invalid input rather than silently zeroing the result. Add defense-in-depth at every call site that allocates from a parsed length: cap `bytes.Buffer.Grow` hints in the parser at 1 GiB, clamp the slice and maps initialized from `Parser.count` at a 4 Mi-entry hint so a hostile object count cannot request a multi-gigabyte allocation, and validate `OFS-delta` back-references in the scanner (must be `> 0` and `<= h.Offset`). Cover the new behavior with unit, parser-level regression and fuzz tests (`FuzzReadLength`, `FuzzDecodeLEB128`, `FuzzDecodeLEB128ByteReader`, `FuzzParser`).
