/**

 * LLM responses almost never contain bare JSON. They typically:
 *   - Wrap JSON in ```json … ``` code fences
 *   - Prepend sentences like "Here is the JSON:"
 *   - Mix prose before/after the JSON block
 *   - Contain nested braces inside string literals
 *
 * This module extracts the first valid JSON object `{}` or array `[]`
 * from any arbitrary LLM response string using a character-level scan
 * that correctly handles strings, escapes, and nesting.
