Fix 2 bugs, remove 7 dead code blocks, add formal verification

[buger]

Summary

This PR applies formal requirements verification using ReqProof to jsonparser, which found and fixed 2 real bugs and identified 7 dead code blocks that were safely removed after verification by 60 targeted tests.

Bugs Fixed

1. Delete panics on truncated JSON input (PR #280 class)

Input: Delete([]byte('{"test":1'), "test") — truncated JSON with no closing brace.

Root cause: tokenEnd() returns len(data) as a sentinel when no delimiter character is found. Delete used data[endOffset+tokEnd] without bounds checking, causing an index-out-of-bounds panic.

Fix: Added bounds check before array access. When the sentinel is detected, Delete returns the original input unchanged.

// Before (panics):
if data[endOffset+tokEnd] == ',' {

// After (safe):
if endOffset+tokEnd >= len(data) {
    return data  // tokenEnd sentinel: input is truncated
}
if data[endOffset+tokEnd] == ',' {

2. ArrayEach callback never receives errors

Problem: ArrayEach's callback signature is func(value []byte, dataType ValueType, offset int, err error) — it declares an err parameter. But ArrayEach returned early on error before calling the callback, so the callback's err was always nil. Users who checked err in their callback had dead error handling code.

Fix: The callback is now called with the error before ArrayEach returns, fulfilling the API contract. This is backward compatible — users who ignore err see no difference; users who check it now actually receive errors.

// Before (callback never sees errors):
if e != nil {
    return offset, e  // returns without calling callback
}
cb(v, t, offset+o-len(v), e)  // e is always nil

// After (callback receives errors):
cb(v, t, offset+o-len(v), e)  // callback sees the error
if e != nil {
    return offset, e  // then ArrayEach returns it
}

Dead Code Removed

MC/DC (Modified Condition/Decision Coverage) analysis identified 7 dead code blocks. Each was verified safe by targeted tests before removal:

#	Location	What was dead	Why
1	ArrayEach, Unescape, ObjectEach	for true loops	Tautological — changed to idiomatic for {}
2	getType	end == -1 guard	tokenEnd returns len(data), never -1
3	decodeUnicodeEscape	r <= basicMultilingualPlaneOffset	Mathematical tautology — single \uXXXX always produces rune ≤ 0xFFFF
4	EachKey	data[i] == '{' block-skip	Structurally unreachable — position never lands on { after match == -1
5	searchKeys	keys[level][0] != '['	Logical contradiction — outer guard already checks == '['
6	ArrayEach	e != nil inside o == 0	Get with offset=0 always returns error — nil-error branch unreachable
7	findKeyStart	ln > 0 guard	Tautological — nextToken returning non-negative guarantees len(data) > 0

All 7 removals were audited with 60 targeted tests (in dead_code_audit_test.go and dead_code_audit_oob_test.go) to confirm no JSON input — valid or malformed — triggers the removed conditions.

Formal Verification Coverage

This PR adds a complete ReqProof verification chain:

Metric	Value
Requirements	92 (7 stakeholder + 85 system)
Obligation classes	18 (nominal, malformed, truncated, sentinel, boundary, error propagation, etc.)
FRETish formulas	85 (all system requirements formalized in temporal logic)
Kind2 realizability	PASS (spec is implementable)
Kind2 consistency	PASS (no contradictions)
Kind2 vacuity	PASS (0 vacuous requirements)
Z3 data properties	20/20 proved
Z3 data constraints	Completeness + exclusivity proofs for array index, token type domains
FLIP MC/DC fixtures	340 generated scenarios
Requirement MC/DC	204/204 witness rows (100%)
Code MC/DC	203/203 decisions (100%), 244/244 conditions (100%)
Statement coverage	99.3%
Trace coverage	100% (373/373 functions)

Obligation Classes

Every public API behavior family has an obligation checklist ensuring coverage of:

• truncated_at_value_boundary — the exact PR fix: bounds check in Delete to prevent index out of range panic #280 bug class
• sentinel_value_boundary — tokenEnd/stringEnd/blockEnd sentinel returns
• error_propagation — errors from internal helpers must not be discarded
• truncated_mid_structure, truncated_mid_key, truncated_escape_sequence
• negative_array_index, partial_literal, callback_error_propagation
• Plus standard: nominal, missing_path, malformed_input, boundary, empty_input, type_mismatch

How This Found the Bugs

1. Delete panic: Obligation checklist required truncated_at_value_boundary coverage → spec-driven test with {"test":1 → panic discovered → bounds check added
2. ArrayEach error swallowing: Code MC/DC flagged e != nil at line 1081 as dead code → investigation revealed the callback's err parameter was always nil → API contract violation fixed
3. Dead code: 100% code MC/DC requirement forced evaluation of every boolean decision → 7 unreachable conditions identified → verified safe → removed

CI Integration

Added .github/workflows/reqproof.yml using probelabs/proof-action@v1 for continuous verification on every PR.
