### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages,
version, and platform.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this project.
I'm finding a discrepancy in behavior between creating an array directly and
casting it. The `safe` argument does not behave the same way in pa.array as in
`Array.cast`, although the docs make it seem that they should both allow
casting.
```python
import pyarrow as pa
# works, rounding to 100000000
pa.array([99999999]).cast(pa.float32(), safe=False)
# fails
pa.array([99999999], pa.float32(), safe=False)
```
Platforms:
* Python 3.12.5/OS X/pyarrow 19.0.1
Full output below.
