+/**
+ * A leading digit or minus makes the parser enter number decoding, but a malformed exponent or a
+ * lone sign/point is only rejected when the token is finally handed to {@code new BigDecimal(...)}.
+ * The overlay parsers already wrap that {@link NumberFormatException} in a {@link JsonException}
+ * (see {@code NumberValue.bigDecimalValue}), but the default CHAR_BUFFER path
+ * ({@code CharScanner.parseJsonNumber}) and the CHARACTER_SOURCE path
+ * ({@code JsonParserUsingCharacterSource.decodeNumber}) let it escape raw, so a caller guarding
+ * untrusted input with {@code catch (JsonException)} would not catch it.

Review Comment:
   The class Javadoc describes the CHAR_BUFFER and CHARACTER_SOURCE paths as currently letting NumberFormatException escape. After this PR’s changes, that should be phrased in the past tense so the documentation matches the new behavior.
