//! JSON mode logits processor.
//!
//! Constrains generation to produce valid JSON by tracking a state machine
//! and masking tokens that would produce invalid syntax at each step.
//!
//! # Approach
//!
//! Rather than full grammar-guided generation (which requires tokenizer-level
//! mapping), this processor uses a lightweight state machine that tracks
//! whether we're inside a string, after a key, expecting a value, etc.
//! It biases logits to favor JSON-structural tokens without fully preventing
//! all invalid outputs.
//!
//! For a production-quality implementation, this would need:
//! - Tokenizer integration to map token IDs to byte sequences
//! - Full JSON grammar with recursive descent validation
//! - Efficient bitset masking over the vocabulary
//!
//! This MVP provides the infrastructure and demonstrates the pattern.
