The encoder's flush function was using an incorrect condition for determining which final bit to emit. After normalization, the range [low, high] straddles the midpoint, so the flush logic should check if low < half() to decide whether to emit 0 or 1.

Previously used: low <= quarter()
Corrected to: low < half()

This aligns with standard arithmetic coding flush logic and ensures correct encoding of the final bits.

The previous commit incorrectly changed the condition to use half()
instead of quarter(). The actual bug was the comparison operator.

After the E2/E3 normalization loop exits, we know:
- low < quarter OR high >= three_quarter

When low == quarter exactly, we must have high >= three_quarter
(otherwise the loop would continue). This places us in the upper
region, so we should emit 1, not 0.

The fix: change <= to < to properly handle the boundary case.

Before: if self.state.low <= self.state.quarter()
After:  if self.state.low < self.state.quarter()

This reverts the half() change and fixes the actual comparison bug.
