fix: serialize NaN/Inf floats nested in pydantic models as JSON-safe strings - #1817

What does this PR do?

Fixes #16048

EventSerializer's BaseModel branch returned obj.model_dump() directly, so non-finite floats nested inside a pydantic model bypassed the NaN/Inf sanitizer that the dict/list branches already apply. Python's JSON C encoder then emitted bare NaN/Infinity tokens, which strict JSON parsers reject. On the tracing path, any traced pydantic object carrying a NaN/Inf float (common with ML/scoring payloads) produced an event body that failed ingestion.

The fix routes the dumped dict back through default(), so the same sanitization applies at every nesting depth:

from pydantic import BaseModel
from langfuse._utils.serializer import EventSerializer
class Scores(BaseModel):
 confidence: float
# before: {"confidence": NaN} (bare NaN, invalid JSON)
# after: {"confidence": "NaN"}
EventSerializer().encode(Scores(confidence=float("nan")))

Verification

pytest tests/unit/test_serializer.py -q -k "not path" # 29 passed
ruff check langfuse/_utils/serializer.py tests/unit/test_serializer.py # all checks passed
ruff format --check langfuse/_utils/serializer.py tests/unit/test_serializer.py

The new regression test test_pydantic_model_with_non_finite_float_serializes_to_valid_json fails before the fix (strict parse raises ValueError: NaN) and passes after. test_path fails on this machine only (POSIX-vs-Windows path separators) and passes in CI's Linux runner; the same pre-existing mypy import-not-found note for langchain_core is present on the unmodified file.
