Function: toBase32()

toBase32(value, alphabet?, disableAlphabetValidation?): string

Encode a 32-bit unsigned integer as base-32 using the default Crockford-style alphabet (or alphabet when provided). The encoding has no zero-padding by default - toBase32(0) returns the alphabet’s zero character, otherwise the result is the minimal number of digits that fits the value. Pad / truncate at the call site when you need a fixed width.

disableAlphabetValidation skips the unique-32-char check for hot paths that have already validated the alphabet. The function still requires alphabet.length === 32 either way.
