Description

Follow-up to #94.

Child workflow results are deserialized case-insensitively. Conflicting known properties such as events/EVENTS, haltRequested, result, or sentMessages should be rejected before trusted controls are applied.

Use targeted System.Text.Json options with AllowDuplicateProperties = false, preserve result-only fallback behavior on JsonException, and add focused camelCase/PascalCase and duplicate-control tests.

This is intentionally deferred to avoid rewriting the existing stacked PRs again.

Research direction

Start at the child workflow result deserialization entry point and review the targeted System.Text.Json options, especially AllowDuplicateProperties. Add focused camelCase/PascalCase and duplicate-control tests, while preserving result-only fallback behavior when JsonException is raised.
