Use invariant culture when parsing the array index token.

int.TryParse(token, out var index) uses the current culture. A culture-specific negative sign or digit format can change which tokens parse as an index. RFC 6901 array indices are ASCII digits only. The index < 0 check also lets a token such as -0 or +1 resolve to an element. Use NumberStyles.None and CultureInfo.InvariantCulture so the parser accepts only unsigned ASCII digits.

Proposed fix 
-                    if (!int.TryParse(token, out var index) || index < 0 || index >= sequence.Count)
+                    if (!int.TryParse(token, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.None, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, out var index) || index >= sequence.Count)

Review comment at
@src/ByteBard.AsyncAPI.Readers/ParseNodes/JsonPointerExtensions.cs at line 19:
Update the array-index parsing in the visible `int.TryParse` check to use
`NumberStyles.None` and `CultureInfo.InvariantCulture`, so only unsigned ASCII
digits are accepted. Remove the redundant negative-index check and preserve the
existing sequence-bounds validation.

Remove at most one leading sign.

If the value is "+-1" or "--1", TrimStart('+', '-') removes both signs. The helper then reports an out-of-range integer instead of an invalid format. Remove only one optional leading sign before the digit check.

Review comment at @src/ByteBard.AsyncAPI.Readers/ParseNodes/ValueNode.cs around
lines 122 - 123:
Update the sign handling in the ValueNode parsing logic to remove at most one
optional leading plus or minus before checking digits. Preserve any subsequent
sign so values such as "+-1" and "--1" are classified as invalid formats.
