Start by reviewing the linked dependent issues, especially 28876, 29816, 29819, 29834, 29839, and 32582, to understand the separate OverflowError cases. Done would require addressing the applicable cases without raising OverflowError, but this umbrella issue names no files, tests, or specific implementation entry point.
