fix: reject a year Date.UTC would silently move

`iso()` read back the month and the day to catch February 30 rolling over to
March 2, and took the year on trust. `Date.UTC` maps years 0–99 into the 1900s,
so a four-digit "0050" came back as 1950 with the month and day intact — past
both existing checks, because nothing about the resulting date is impossible.

Same class of failure as the rollover the guard was written for: a boundary the
source never stated, published as though it had. Reading the year back too is
the skip-rather-than-guess rule this module runs on, applied to the one field
that was not checked. It narrows only — `parseShortSlashRange`'s two-digit pivot
produces full years and is untouched.
