68-73:⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 MajorPrevent size_t overflow in alignment computation at lines 68 and 134.
The alignment calculations
(size + 7) & ~7can overflow for sizes nearSIZE_MAX. For example, ifsize = SIZE_MAX - 5, the addition wraps around and produces an incorrect aligned size of 0, allowing the OOM check to pass when it should fail. This bypasses capacity validation and can lead to undersized allocations or memory corruption.Add overflow detection before alignment:

Apply this same overflow detection at both locations where alignment occurs (the diff shows line 68 and the comment mentions line 134) to prevent undersized allocations from bypassing capacity validation.lib/csv_parser.h-62-62 (1)

The README claims C99 compatibility (badge on line 9 and guidance on line 587), but
