Yifan Yang 2d7e37a395 fix(json_utils): reject prose pseudo-JSON in single quotes/backticks (#82)
Follow-up to the string-aware brace scan: that change only skipped
double-quoted prose, so brace-shaped text in single quotes, backticks, or
bare prose (e.g. `{op: delete}`, '{x: 1}') still reached json_repair and was
fabricated into a bogus dict — strictly worse than None, since extract_json
feeds the optimizer's skill edits.

Add a _looks_json_like() guard before repair: a genuine JSON object's first
non-space char after `{` is `"` (a key) or `}` (empty). Prose pseudo-objects
start with a bare word and are rejected, while legitimate repair targets
(trailing commas, unescaped quotes inside string values) all begin with `"`
and pass — including objects whose string VALUES contain single quotes or
backticks, which must not be rejected.

Found by an independent GPT-5.5 re-review of the merged #79 code. Adds
regression tests for single-quoted / backticked / bare prose (-> None) and
for legitimate objects with quote/backtick string values (still repaired).
Tests: 30 pass (+3 skip) without json_repair, 33 pass with it, both clean
under -W error::RuntimeWarning.
