verdict.rs

1//! Structured answers extracted from free-form agent output.
2//!
3//! Agents are asked to end with a fenced `json` block. They mostly do, and
4//! sometimes they narrate afterwards, emit two blocks, or wrap the object in
5//! prose. [`extract_json`] therefore scans for *every* balanced top-level
6//! object in the text and returns the last one that deserializes into the type
7//! the caller wants, rather than trusting a single regex to find the right one.
