/// Computes Betti numbers at a fixed radius for topological data analysis via JSON serialization.
///
/// Betti numbers characterize topological features: β₀ (connected components),
/// β₁ (holes/loops), β₂ (voids), etc., in the Vietoris-Rips complex.
///
/// # Arguments
///
/// * `input_json` - A JSON string pointer containing:
/// - `points`: Point cloud data as arrays of coordinates
/// - `epsilon`: Radius parameter for Vietoris-Rips complex
/// - `max_dim`: Maximum homology dimension to compute
///
/// # Returns
///
/// A C string pointer containing JSON-encoded `FfiResult<Vec<usize>, String>` with
/// a vector of Betti numbers [β₀, β₁, β₂, ...] up to `max_dim`.

/// # Safety
///
/// This function is unsafe because it receives a raw C string pointer that must be
/// valid, null-terminated UTF-8. The caller must free the returned pointer.
///
/// # Safety
///
/// This function is unsafe because it dereferences raw pointers as part of the FFI boundary.
/// The caller must ensure:
/// 1. All pointer arguments are valid and point to initialized memory.
/// 2. The memory layout of passed structures matches the expected C-ABI layout.
/// 3. Any pointers returned by this function are managed according to the API's ownership rules.
///
/// # Panics
///
/// This function may panic if the FFI input is malformed, null where not expected,
/// or if internal state synchronization fails (e.g., poisoned locks).
