Description

Problem

ValidJsonArray has separate singleton and cons constructors, creating asymmetry. A uniform nil / cons inductive pattern would be simpler and more consistent with standard list-shaped inductives in Lean/Mathlib.

Expected fix

Refactor ValidJsonArray to use a uniform nil/cons structure. Verify that all downstream proofs (Proofs.lean) still hold with the refactored definition.

Research direction

Locate the ValidJsonArray definition and read Proofs.lean to identify all downstream uses and proof obligations. Refactor the structure to a uniform nil/cons form, then verify that the existing proofs still compile and hold.
