Description
Claude exposes a way to force the output of a model call to be in json format. This should be added as a feature for building Roast workflows that expect an output in a specific json schema.
It would significantly reduce the need to say something like "output your answer in json following XYZ schema with no other surrounding text", which is often flaky.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating Roast’s Claude model-call integration and workflow output configuration, then compare the requested structured JSON behavior with the existing provider interface. Done should mean a workflow can request a specific JSON schema and reliably receive output in that format.
