/**
 * servedJson — a served tool result's JSON, read by the JSON grammar when the
 * whole text is NOT one JSON value.
 *
 * Pattern: two pure readers over the JSON grammar (no imports, no state, no
 *          clock): `leadingJsonValues` (the complete values a text OPENS
 *          with, and the text after them) and `jsonPrefixOf` (the leaves of
 *          JSON text cut short, token by token, and the whole words of a
 *          string the cut falls inside).
 * Role:    core/ layer, `evidence/`. Asked by `evidenceIndex.ts` ·
 *          `readResult` — the ONE reading of a result that the evidence index
 *          and the inputs layer's declared-sources check
 *          (`resultCarries.ts` · `resultReader`) share.
 * Emits:   N/A.
 *
 * ## Why a served result is not always one JSON value
 *
 * The dispatch loop serves a tool's value as JSON and joins framework notes
 * AFTER it — a stepped skill's step banner, an effect note, the repeated-call
 * note (`stages/toolCalls.ts`); an MCP text result joins its content blocks
 * with a newline (`mcp/toolResult.ts` · `readTextResult`); and a capped
 * result's `head` is the first characters of the tool's JSON, cut mid-value
 * (`toolResultCap.ts`). `JSON.parse` refuses all of these, and the text
 * fallback tokenises `{"id":4417,"up":true}` into `id`, `:4417`, `up`,
 * `:true` — so every number and boolean the tool returned read as ABSENT: the
 * evidence gate's false flag on an answer that quoted one, and the
 * declared-sources check's false `not-in-result` on a value the model took
 * from one (then a needless ask). So the tool's JSON is read by the JSON
 * grammar as far as it goes, and only what follows it is text.
 *
 * The extent of a value is found the way `findings/unsettled.ts` ·
 * `leadingObjectOf` finds the served envelope — strings and their escapes
 * skipped, brackets counted — and each span is parsed once, guarded.

/**
 * The complete JSON values `text` OPENS with — an object or an array, then
 * any further ones separated by whitespace (the blocks of an MCP text result)
 * — and the text after the last of them (`rest`, which starts at its first
 * non-space character; `''` when nothing follows). `values` is empty when the
 * text does not open with a complete, parseable value.
 *
 * @example
 * ```ts
 * leadingJsonValues('{"id":4417}\n{"id":2210}\n\n[identical call: …]');
 * // { values: [{ id: 4417 }, { id: 2210 }], rest: '[identical call: …]' }

/**

 * closes (a capped result's `head`, a result a tool truncated itself) — read
 * by the JSON grammar as far as it goes: its complete leaves, in order, and,
 * when the text ends inside a string, that string's whole words (`words`).
 * The token the text ends inside is never a leaf — it may be cut (`4417` cut
 * at `44` is not the value `44`) — and the word a cut string ends in is never
 * one of its words (`mo` may be `more`).
 *
 * `undefined` when the text is not JSON cut short: it does not open with `{`
 * or `[`, a token is not a JSON token (`[INFO] …`, `{level=info`) — the one
 * the text ends inside not even the beginning of one — a closing bracket does
 * not match, or the value CLOSES: a complete value that did not parse is not
 * JSON at all. Such text is read as text.
 *
 * @example
 * ```ts
 * jsonPrefixOf('{"hosts":[{"id":4417,"up":true},{"id":22');
 * // { leaves: ['hosts', 'id', '4417', 'up', 'true', 'id'] }
 * jsonPrefixOf('{"id":4417,"msg":"disk full on host-7 and mo');
