//! # RationalNumber: Tiered Rational Arithmetic
//!
//! Exact rational arithmetic (a/b) with a 7-tier storage hierarchy that automatically
//! selects the smallest integer type for each value's magnitude:
//! Tiny(i8) → Small(i16) → Medium(i32) → Large(i64) → Huge(i128) → Massive(I256) → Ultra(I512).
//!
//! Overflow-safe: all arithmetic returns `Result<T, OverflowDetected>` for UGOD tier promotion.
//! Thread-safe: immutable operations, deterministic across platforms.
//! Profile-aware: deployment profiles constrain maximum tier for precision-performance tradeoffs.
