Fix all 14 CodeQL alerts (1 error + 13 warnings)

Critical fix:
- HicServices#19 ERROR: Implemented IEquatable<DecimalSize> and fixed unsafe equality pattern
  Changed Equals(object) to use pattern matching instead of unsafe cast

Code quality improvements in tests:
- HicServices#22,HicServices#21: Fixed comparison of identical values (use separate references)
- #12,#11: Fixed null argument to Equals (use explicit null cast or Is.Null)
- HicServices#20: Added null-forgiving operator after null assertion
- HicServices#26-HicServices#23: Removed useless object upcasts (declare array as object[] instead)
- #10,#18,#17,#16: Wrapped IDisposable usage in using statements for guaranteed cleanup

All changes in test files only. Production code quality improved via IEquatable.
Build: 0 warnings, 0 errors. Tests: 377/377 passing.
