The 64th bit is the sign bit, so it cannot be used reliably as a normal flag. Using integer-compatible bits avoids these issues.

Release Notes - v3.0.0

Changed

Numeric `BinaryFlags` APIs now accept `int` values only.
Passing `float` values to numeric mask/flag methods now raises `TypeError` for `strict_types=1` callers.
Non-strict callers should still cast or validate external values before calling the API because PHP scalar coercion can convert `float` to `int` at the call boundary.
The numeric iterator and JSON serialization contracts are now documented as `int`-based.

Removed

`Bits::BIT_64`.
The v2.x float-normalization/deprecation path in `Traits\InteractsWithNumericFlags`.

BIT_64 Notice

Bits::BIT_64 was removed because PHP numbers for bitwise flags are signed. The 64th bit is the sign bit, so it cannot be used reliably as a normal flag.

Using integer-compatible bits avoids these issues.
