Merge branch 'develop' into claude/copy-without-assignable-base-5674

Conflicts:
- include/nlohmann/json.hpp: copy_array_level() keeps develop's #5721
  "set the array type only once the container exists" and then builds the
  elements with the PR's copy_construct_tag emplace_back loop
- single_include/nlohmann/json.hpp: regenerated with make amalgamate
