Comment (by gautam23):

 Makes sense. While I don't think we should technically support scientific
 notation since this is a REST API integer validator and not a general
 purpose integer validator, but yeah...I get the point about preserving
 existing behavior.

 So, I’ve updated my PR to also support scientific notation values that
 represent integers (for example 1e3) while still avoiding float conversion
 entirely. I think that gets the best of both approaches: preserving
 existing behavior where it makes sense, while keeping the validation logic
 deterministic and free from float precision issues.
