write_bjdata_ndarray() encoded a JData-annotated object as a BJData
ND-array whenever its dimensions' product matched _ArrayData_.size(),
which lost information in two ways:
- _ArrayData_ was never required to be an array. null has size 0, any
other scalar has size 1, and iterating an object visits its values, so
e.g. {"_ArraySize_":[1],"_ArrayData_":5} was written as the array [5],
and an object _ArrayData_ came back as an array.
- The reader only restores an annotated object from an ND-array with at
least two non-zero dimensions that is not a 1xN row vector; an empty,
1-D, row-vector, or zero-sized shape is read back as a plain array. The
writer nonetheless emitted ND-array headers for these shapes, so the
annotation was silently dropped.
OSS-Fuzz issue 563659413 hit this in parse_bjdata_fuzzer: an empty binary
_ArraySize_ is written as a plain object and read back as an empty array,
after which {"_ArrayType_":"int16","_ArraySize_":[],"_ArrayData_":null}
was encoded as the ND-array header "[$I#[]" and re-read as [], failing the
harness's value-stability check.
Such objects now fall back to a plain object encoding, which round-trips.
Genuine ND-arrays (two or more positive dimensions, not a 1xN row vector)
are encoded exactly as before. Existing fallback tests that used 1-D
shapes are moved to 2-D shapes so they keep exercising the check they
were written for, and the BJData documentation is updated.
