18/// Incremental JSON parser that can handle partial/incomplete JSON.
19///
20/// Builds up a string token by token and attempts to parse at each step,
21/// returning the best partial result possible. This is designed for streaming
22/// LLM output where JSON arrives in small chunks and may be incomplete until
23/// the stream finishes.
24///
25/// # Strategy
26///
27/// 1. Accumulate tokens into an internal buffer.
28/// 2. On each `push_and_parse`, attempt to parse the buffer as complete JSON.
29/// 3. If that fails, try to repair the partial JSON by closing unclosed
30/// brackets/braces and truncating incomplete string values.
31/// 4. If repair yields valid JSON, return it; otherwise return
32/// `PartialJsonError::Incomplete`.
33///
34/// # Example
35///
36/// ```ignore
37/// let mut parser = PartialJsonParser::new();
38/// // Simulating token-by-token LLM output
39/// let _ = parser.push_and_parse(r#"{"name":"#); // Incomplete
40/// let v = parser.push_and_parse(r#""Alice","age":30}"#); // Ok({"name":"Alice","age":30})
41/// ```
