Description

Currently on 2.0, 64-bit integers are truncated to 53 bits due to limitations in JavaScript. This shows in the sample response, where integer 10765432100123456789 is truncated to 10765432100123458000.

It would be nice if ReDoc supported rendering integers with format int64 correctly in sample responses.

Research direction
Investigate how sample responses are generated in the ReDoc codebase. Look for places where numeric values are converted to JSON or rendered. Consider using BigInt or a custom serializer to preserve 64 bit integer precision. Check if there are any existing tests for sample response generation. The issue is old, so review any related changes or discussions in the repository.
