The copy constructor descends into 128 levels before it finishes a value
without the call stack, so the iterative path is otherwise only reached
by the few tests that nest deeper than that.
JSON_NO_THREAD_LOCAL switches the descent off, which sends every value
down that path. Running the whole test suite that way covers it with
every object type, string type, allocator, and base class the suite
already exercises. The new ci_test_no_thread_local target does that; the
macro had no build coverage at all before.
Copying a nested value also has to carry over what the element-wise copy
constructor would have copied: the parents that JSON_DIAGNOSTICS relies
on, and the positions that JSON_DIAGNOSTIC_POSITIONS reports. Both are
now checked on either side of the descent bound, for objects and arrays.
Neither was tested before, and dropping either one makes the new tests
fail.
Also quantify what JSON_NO_THREAD_LOCAL costs a copy instead of calling
it "measurably slower".

* Reformat parser_callback_t example with astyle
The file uses "json & /*parsed*/" in three lambda parameter lists, which
astyle rewrites to "json& /*parsed*/" per --align-reference=type. The
drift went unnoticed because CI never format-checked the documentation
examples; "make pretty" does cover them.

* Format-check the documentation examples in CI
The examples live in docs/mkdocs/docs/examples, but both format checks
still referenced the long-gone docs/examples path:
- check_amalgamation.yml passed it to find, which printed an error for
the missing path and carried on, so astyle only ever saw include and
tests. The step still exited 0.
- ci.cmake globbed it into INDENT_FILES, and a GLOB_RECURSE over a
missing directory silently yields nothing, so the ci_test_amalgamation
target skipped the examples too.
Either way the 231 example files have never been format-checked. Point
both at the real path, and guard the workflow with an explicit directory
check so a future rename fails the job instead of quietly shrinking the
file list again.
Also drop the dead docs/examples/** path filter from
publish_documentation.yml; docs/mkdocs/** already covers the examples.

* CI: suppress -Wc2y-extensions for Clang
Clang 22.1 (now shipped by silkeh/clang:latest) diagnoses __COUNTER__ as a
C2y extension, and does so in C++ mode as well. Under -Weverything -Werror
this breaks every ci_test_clang_cxx* / ci_test_clang_libcxx_cxx* target,
independently of the code under test.
The library itself does not use __COUNTER__; all diagnostics originate in
vendored Doctest (DOCTEST_ANONYMOUS, used by TEST_CASE and SECTION).

* Fix stale Clang -Weverything suppression comments; eliminate -Wno-missing-noreturn
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 MSVC C4702 warning caused by JSON_HEDLEY_NO_RETURN on get_elements()
PR #5250 annotated wide_string_input_adapter::get_elements<T>() with
JSON_HEDLEY_NO_RETURN (it unconditionally throws). On MSVC this expands to
__declspec(noreturn), and MSVC correctly determined that the code following
its call in binary_reader.hpp is unreachable for that instantiation, firing
C4702 under /W4 /WX in the msvc, msvc-vs2026, and msvc-arm64 Debug jobs.
Clang doesn't flag this case, so the Docker verification for #5250 (which
only checked Clang -Weverything) didn't catch it.
This is the same warning class already tolerated for Release builds since
PR #5216, where MSVC's optimizer independently found the same dead code
after /Od was removed. Extend that existing /wd4702 suppression to Debug
builds too, instead of reverting the noreturn annotation.

* Test ci_cuda_example against a CUDA version matrix at C++20 (#3907)
The ci_cuda_example job compiled against the json-ci image's CUDA
11.0 toolkit at cuda_std_11, which cannot exercise #3907 (a c++20
parse error in iteration_proxy.hpp's enable_borrowed_range reported
under nvcc). Switch the job to pull official nvidia/cuda devel images
directly and matrix across CUDA 11.8-12.6 at cuda_std_20 so CI can
empirically confirm which versions are actually affected before any
source-level fix is attempted.

* Fix nvcc CUDA 12.0/12.1 C++20 ranges parse error (#3907)
The diagnostic matrix in this PR confirmed the affected range exactly:
nvcc 12.0.1 and 12.1.1 both fail with "expected initializer before
'<' token" on iteration_proxy.hpp's enable_borrowed_range variable
template specialization at -std=c++20; 12.2.2 and newer already build
cleanly. Guard JSON_HAS_RANGES off for that narrow nvcc version range,
matching the existing GCC-11/libstdc++ carve-outs in the same ifdef
chain, and regenerate single_include accordingly.
Broaden the CUDA smoke test to also exercise comparisons
(operator==/operator<=>, gated independently by
JSON_HAS_THREE_WAY_COMPARISON) and range-based iteration, not just
dump()/erase(), so the fix's actual scope is evidenced by CI rather
than assumed from the single reported symptom.
Have tests/cuda_example/CMakeLists.txt pick the newest C++ standard
the detected nvcc version actually supports (20/17/11) instead of
hard-requiring C++20, so older toolkits build at a lower standard
instead of failing CMake configure outright. This is test-project-local
only; the JSON_HAS_RANGES guard is what protects real client code,
since a header can't control what -std= flag it's compiled with.
Right-size the CI matrix from the 8-version diagnostic sweep down to
11.8.0 (C++17 fallback path) / 12.1.1 (permanent #3907 regression
guard) / 12.6.3 (recent coverage), and update the compiler-version
table in the quality assurance docs to match.

* Fix ci_cuda_example CUDA 11.8 build after C++17 fallback (#3907)
The 11.8.0 leg's graceful C++17 fallback (added in the previous commit)
worked correctly, but the broadened smoke test used the <=> operator
unconditionally, which isn't valid syntax pre-C++20 — nvcc rejected it
with "expected an expression" once the CMake logic picked cuda_std_17
for the older toolkit. Gate those two lines behind
JSON_HAS_THREE_WAY_COMPARISON like the library itself does internally.
Sanity-compiled the file as plain C++ at both -std=c++17 (skips the
guarded block) and -std=c++20 (includes it) locally; the actual nvcc
build is verified via CI on PR #5248.

* 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}).
