…overflows Chi passes x * x / 2 and Gamma passes x * rate to gamma_lr/gamma_ur, which panic when their argument is 0 or infinite. The existing guards only checked x itself, so a finite x whose product overflowed or underflowed panicked. ChiSquared and Erlang go through Gamma.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Preserve the small positive Chi::cdf value when x * x underflows.
For Chi::new(1) and x = 1e-200, x * x / 2.0 rounds to 0.0. The new guard then returns 0.0, although the CDF is approximately sqrt(2/π) * x, which is representable. Apply a log-domain small-argument evaluation before returning the zero endpoint. The survival function can continue to return 1.0 for this case because the omitted CDF is below half an ulp at 1.0.
