-Fixed handling of hrtime in `Duration.decode`
+Improve `Duration.decode` Handling of High-Resolution Time
+
+- **Ensured Immutability**: Added the `readonly` modifier to `[seconds: number, nanos: number]` in `DurationInput` to prevent accidental modifications.
+- **Better Edge Case Handling**: Now correctly processes special values like `-Infinity` and `NaN` when they appear in the tuple representation of duration.
