ci: retrigger after LLM_BASE_URL secret fix

Rewrites the JSON repair algorithm to address two correctness bugs
identified in code review:

1. Interior quoted word before comma: "say "yes", and go" was
   misidentified as structural close because "," followed the quote.

2. JSON-shaped content in strings: {"key": "val"} inside a string
   value was being parsed as actual JSON structure.

The new approach:
- Distinguishes keys from values (only values need repair)
- Uses first-valid-candidate scan with deep lookahead
- Verifies that after a candidate close, the continuation is not just
  a structural char but a complete valid JSON pattern
- Validates keyword tokens (true/false/null) fully, not just first char
- Checks container closes recursively for valid continuation

Adds comprehensive tests for all reported edge cases plus a complex
combined scenario with nested JSON-like content, quoted words before
commas, and multiple failure modes in one string.
