From 0fa65fd8af182a5cea1419e061db9532b51bc100 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mohit Gupta Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 16:00:27 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix: scan JSON quote candidates in linear time Preserve candidate spans while caching quote ends and checking the artifact deadline throughout scanning. Add deterministic deadline and reconstruction compatibility regressions. Prepared by Codex on behalf of Mohit Gupta.
