//! `how = "merge-json"` — keep just the listed paths inside an
//! existing JSON file in sync with the template, leaving every
//! other key alone.
//!
//! Manifest:
//! ```toml
//! [[file]]
//! src   = "renovate.json"
//! how   = "merge-json"
//! when  = "always"
//! paths = ["customManagers", "packageRules"]
//! ```
//!
//! For every dotted `paths` entry kata copies the value at that
//! path from the template-rendered body into the existing file
//! at the same path, creating intermediate `{}` objects when
//! needed. A path missing in the incoming body is left
//! **untouched** in the existing file (same conservative
//! no-implicit-prune rule that `merge-toml` and `merge-yaml`
//! follow).
//!
//! Output formatting: kata serialises with `serde_json`'s
//! pretty-printer (2-space indent), preserving the original
//! key insertion order thanks to the `preserve_order` feature.
//! Unlike `merge-toml` we do NOT preserve comments or whitespace
//! — strict JSON has neither, and JSONC / JSON5 inputs are out
//! of scope for the first iteration of this mode (#71).
//!
//! **Path syntax limitation**: same `.`-split caveat as
//! `merge-toml` — JSON keys with literal dots inside them aren't
//! addressable. The common case (`packageRules`,
//! `customManagers`, `tsconfig.compilerOptions.strict`) works
//! fine because `.` only appears between segments.
