"Maximum Shadows on Screen" can be set to a negative number

-

How to reproduce:
1. Create a new HDRP Project
2. Go to Edit -> Project Settings -> Quality -> HDRP -> Lighting -> Shadows
3. Drag the "Maximum Shadows on Screen" value or manually enter any negative number
4. Observe the results

Expected results: Negative number can't be entered
Actual results: Negative number can be entered and then reset to "1" on confirm with throwing "Max shadow requests count reached, dropping all exceeding requests. You can increase this limit by changing the Maximum Shadows on Screen property in the HDRP asset." warning

Reproducible with: 6000.0.46f1, 6000.1.0b15, 6000.2.0a9

Reproducible on: macOS Sequoia 15.3 (M1)
Not reproducible on: No other environment tested

Notes:
- Even though the value is reset, it shouldn't be possible to go into the negative values
- No warning is thrown in 6000.0.46f1

  1. Resolution Note:

    This is by design. This field, along with many other integer fields in the same UI, is a 'delayed field'. The value isn't changed at all until you commit, usually by pressing return. The value is never set negative - the warning appears because the value is set to 1, which is too low for the scene.

    The field is delayed so changes don't immediately take effect. Doing so can cause performance issues when dragging or editing the value.

    You can type much more than just negative numbers. These types of field support arbitrary mathematical expressions. For example you could type `5-2`. You don't know that the actual value is 3 until you commit and evaluate the expression.
