+//                  validate/re-prompt ladder repairs off the final text.
+//   - result OUT:  JSON.parse of the final assistant message (with a balanced-block fallback),
+//                  exactly like Codex — no vendor extension notification required.
+//   - config-level `_meta`: the registry entry's static `sessionMeta` rides every session/new
+//                  (per-call RunOptions.meta merges over it in the ACP client; backend-computed
+//                  keys and the runId stamp win over both).
