cmake/clang_flags.cmake claimed -Wno-unsafe-buffer-usage was needed only
for Doctest and that -Wno-missing-noreturn had "no way to silence...
otherwise" (PR #4871, which never actually attempted a source fix).
Neither held up under investigation (todo 130):
- -Wno-unsafe-buffer-usage is pervasive (208 distinct sites across 19
files measured with clang trunk in silkeh/clang:dev), spanning the
library's own low-level numeric/buffer code (to_chars, serializer,
lexer, binary reader/writer, input adapters, json_pointer) as well as
vendored Doctest itself (96 of the 208 sites). A source-level fix is
not feasible at this scale; the comment now says so instead of
blaming Doctest alone.
- -Wno-missing-noreturn had exactly two real trigger sites, both
genuinely and unconditionally non-returning: a test-only throwing
allocator (tests/src/unit-allocator.cpp) and, previously undiscovered,
wide_string_input_adapter::get_elements<T>() in
include/nlohmann/detail/input/input_adapters.hpp. Verified this isn't
a wider pattern by checking all 160 JSON_THROW call sites in the
library for functions whose entire body is an unconditional throw.
Annotated both ([[noreturn]] in the test file, since JSON_HEDLEY_NO_RETURN
is #undef'd by the time test code runs; JSON_HEDLEY_NO_RETURN in the
library file, its first real use anywhere in the codebase) and
dropped the suppression entirely.
single_include/nlohmann/json.hpp regenerated via `make amalgamate`;
`make check-amalgamation` passes.
Verified in Docker (silkeh/clang:dev, matching the ci_static_analysis_clang
CI job): baseline builds clean, and the full 194-target test suite builds
with zero warnings under the corrected CLANG_CXXFLAGS (-Wno-missing-noreturn
no longer in the list). Also sanity-compiled and ran unit-allocator.cpp and
unit-wstring.cpp on host Apple Clang to confirm behavior is unchanged.

* fix: treat single-element brace-init as copy/move
When passing a json value using brace initialization with a single element
(e.g., `json j{someObj}` or `foo({someJson})`), C++ always prefers the
initializer_list constructor over the copy/move constructor. This caused
the value to be unexpectedly wrapped in a single-element array.
This bug was previously compiler-dependent (GCC wrapped, Clang did not),
but Clang 20 started matching GCC behavior, making it a universal issue.
Fix: In the initializer_list constructor, when type deduction is enabled
and the list has exactly one element, copy/move it directly instead of
creating a single-element array.
Before:
json obj = {{"key", 1}};
json j{obj}; // -> [{"key":1}] (wrong: array)
foo({obj}); // -> [{"key":1}] (wrong: array)
After:
json j{obj}; // -> {"key":1} (correct: copy)
foo({obj}); // -> {"key":1} (correct: copy)
To explicitly create a single-element array, use json::array({value}).
Fixes the issue #5074

* fix: regenerate amalgamated single_include/nlohmann/json.hpp
- Add missing comment from include/nlohmann/json.hpp explaining the
single-element brace-init fix (issue #5074)
- Fix extra 4-space indentation in embedded json_fwd.hpp section

* Revert brace-init semantics change and fix amalgamation
The single-element brace-init change was a breaking change that cannot be accepted upstream. Reverted all related source, test, and doc changes, then regenerated single_include with correct indentation to pass the amalgamation CI check.

* Fix: add JSON_BRACE_INIT_COPY_SEMANTICS opt-in macro for issue #5074
Single-element brace initialization wrapping in an array cannot be fixed without breaking existing code. Added JSON_BRACE_INIT_COPY_SEMANTICS as an opt-in macro (default 0) so users can enable copy/move semantics for single-element brace init without affecting anyone relying on the current behavior.

* CMake: use conventional prefix and incluedir variables in pkg-config
This is more standard, and has some advantages when cross compiling.
This also means that the pkg-config files generated by Meson and CMake
