We merged a fix for this that'll go out in the ~next release.

Also, for clarification, this bug was only impacting the display of numbers in the TUI, not what the model sees. The model sees raw results from bash.

This symptom was affecting display of numbers in the TUI, but the real bug/design flaw is using jq or JSON as a transport mechanism between components or between tools. JSON's number range is famously poor and it even architecture-dependent. So if you use jq or JSON to connect components or tools, you will have this same problem silently occurring elsewhere without visibility in the UI.

This is a bigger deal than it seems like! A confidence-inducing fix would include a blog post describing a top-to-bottom audit of jq/JSON used as a transport layer between tools and components. Not just a patch to the most visible problem.
