Note

Introduce ValueRef-based zero-copy traversal, add typed numeric array operations, and update the C API to v6 with alloc/free and revised accessors.

• Core/json_path:
  • Introduce ValueRef (borrowed/owned) across SelectValue, iterators (values, items, get_key, get_index) and path eval; add helper macros for handling owned/borrowed.
  • Update PathCalculator, filter evaluation, and outputs to use ValueRef; adjust public APIs (calc, calc_once, with-path variants) accordingly.
• RedisJSON module:
  • Support homogeneous typed numeric arrays (i8/u8/i16/u16/f16/bf16/i32/u32/f32/i64/u64/f64) with in-place ops (ARRAPPEND/ARRINSERT/ARRTRIM, numeric ops) via new PathValue handling.
  • Migrate command implementations to ValueRef (e.g., Values, KeyValue, equality moved to select_value::is_equal).
  • Memory usage and some expectations adjusted.
• C API (v6):
  • Add allocJson/freeJson and change getAt/nextKeyValue to fill a provided pointer; update iterators and wrappers; export API version 6.
  • Update header rejson_api.h with RedisJSONPtr and new function signatures; deprecate old pointer-returning getAt.
• Deps/infra:
  • Bump ijson rev; add half, paste, crunchy.
  • Add benchmark dataset/config; update tests (including numeric array types) and tweak thresholds.
