Note regarding the new-api-needs-documentation label:

This serves as a reminder for when your PR is modifying a ref *.cs file and adding/modifying public APIs, please make sure the API implementation in the src *.cs file is documented with triple slash comments, so the PR reviewers can sign off that change.

This is on my radar to take a look at; just noting it might be a bit delayed due to other priorities for the .NET 9 release.

@RaymondHuy can you add test cases for the last few cases you fixed:

• CompareTo/GetHashCode of different infinities/NaN
• Parsing 0.500000000001x10^-101 (parse buffer only stores 0.50000000x10^-101 but has non-zero tail)
• The counterexample you found for why normalizedCurrentSignificand approach doesn't work for comparisons

I'm good with the PR otherwise and can approve with the added tests.

Hi @PranavSenthilnathan, I have added more test cases following your suggestions:

CompareTo/GetHashCode of different infinities/NaN

@RaymondHuy looks like there's still a couple test failures:

System.Tests.Decimal128Tests.CompareTo_Other_ReturnsExpected
System.Tests.Decimal64Tests.CompareTo_Other_ReturnsExpected

Both are comparing zero (0.000.....0 vs 0.000....1) and give stack traces are similar to:
