/**
 * The one byte formatter.
 *
 * The app had four of them — `projects/home/format.ts`,
 * `projects/migrationCopy.ts`, `settings/UpdateDialog.tsx` and an inline
 * `toFixed(1)` in `useProjectActions.ts` — disagreeing about the divisor, the
 * unit labels and the precision. The first two now delegate here.
 *
 * The other two deliberately do not, yet: `UpdateDialog` renders KB at
 * `toFixed(0)`, so re-pointing it would change what a download size reads as,
 * and neither is on the Disk panel's path. They are the remaining copies.
 *
 * ## Why the default is base 1000
 *
 * The Disk panel exists to explain what `docker system df` reports, and Docker
 * formats every size it prints with `units.HumanSize`, which is **base 1000**.
 * A panel that showed 26.1 GB where the user's terminal said 28.0 GB for the
 * same build cache would read as a bug in the panel. So decimal is the default
 * and binary is opt-in, rather than the other way round.
 *
 * Both existing conventions are preserved for every size either call site can
 * realistically produce — a file size or a payload size, i.e. a non-negative
 * finite number below a terabyte. Outside that range this deliberately differs
 * from what it replaced: a negative or `NaN` input now renders `—` rather than
 * `-1 B` or `NaN GB`, and the unit ladder continues past GB instead of
 * stopping there.
 *
 * - `{ }`                        → `41.0 MB`   (decimal, what migration used)
 * - `{ binary: true }`           → `1.5 GB`    (÷1024 with decimal-style
 *                                               labels, what Project Home used
 *                                               — technically a misnomer, but
 *                                               it is the app's convention and
 *                                               changing it is not this
 *                                               feature's business)
 * - `{ binary: true, iec: true }` → `1.5 GiB`  (÷1024 labelled honestly)
