Bump Semgrep to 1.182.1 and allow two unfixable advisories

Semgrep 1.168.0 pins pyjwt~=2.13.0, which dependency-review flags (GHSA-ffc3-869f-jxw9 and 14 more). Semgrep 1.182.1 requires pyjwt>=2.15.0; the lock file now has pyjwt 2.15.1, mcp 1.29.0 and click 8.4.2. Semgrep 1.182.1 still pins mcp==1.29.0 (GHSA-84m7-p3x7-pcfv) and opentelemetry-api~=1.37.0 (GHSA-xcq7-p3pf-p88h). Neither code path is used by `semgrep scan` in CI, so dependency-review allows both until Semgrep lifts its pins. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>

-Linear in the total number of values (including nested ones) in `source` and `target`, times the cost of a key-based

-[`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md) (see [`ordered_map` complexity](../ordered_map.md#complexity)). For
-`ordered_json`, diffing two objects with `n` and `m` members therefore takes O((n+m)²) when their keys do not line up
-(e.g., a key was added or the keys are in a different order). The size of the patch is proportional to the number of
-operations times the length of their paths, so a small change deep inside a value yields a long `path`.
+Linear in the lengths of `source` and `target`.

 ## Notes

- Currently, only `remove`, `add`, and `replace` operations are generated.
- The patch is correct, but not guaranteed to be minimal. For instance, `diff([1,2,3], [0,1,2,3])` yields three
-  `replace` operations and one `add` operation instead of a single insertion.
- Differences between two arrays are reported index by index. Elements that were added at the end of the array are added
-  with `add` operations on the path `/-` (appended in order), and elements that were removed are removed with `remove`
-  operations from the highest index down to the lowest, so that the remaining indices stay valid.
- For objects, the operations for the members of `source` come first (`replace`, `remove`, or the operations for nested
-  values, in the iteration order of `source`), followed by `add` operations for the members that only `target` has.
- For [`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md), objects with the same keys in a different order are different. As a patch
-  cannot reorder members, `diff` removes all keys of the `source` object and adds them again in the order of the
-  `target`.
- If `source` and `target` differ as a whole (e.g., different types), the patch consists of a single `replace`
-  operation for the root of the value, i.e., with the `path` `""` (or the given `path` prefix).
- The `value` members of the patch hold copies of values of `target`. A [binary](../../features/binary_values.md) value
-  has no JSON representation: when a patch that contains one is serialized, it becomes an object such as
-  `#!json {"bytes":[1,3],"subtype":null}`, so a parsed patch no longer holds a binary value (and would set that object
-  instead).

-[`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md) (see [`ordered_map` complexity](../ordered_map.md#complexity)). For

+Linear in the lengths of `apply_patch`.

 ## Notes

- `apply_patch` may be `#!cpp *this` itself or refer to a value contained in `#!cpp *this` (for example, a subobject
-  returned by `#!cpp (*this)[key]`); it is read as it was when `merge_patch()` was called, before any modification of
-  `#!cpp *this`. To make this possible, the function copies `apply_patch` before it modifies `#!cpp *this`, so the cost
-  includes one copy of the patch.
- A merge patch uses `#!json null` to remove a member, so it cannot set a member to `#!json null`: applying
-  `#!json {"a":null}` to `#!json {"a":1}` gives `#!json {}`.
- Arrays are not merged: an array in the patch replaces the target value as a whole, and a `#!json null` inside an
-  array is kept as an element. `#!json null` members of the target that the patch does not mention are preserved.
- A `#!json null` in the patch only removes a member; it does not prevent the creation of the enclosing objects.
-  Applying `#!json {"a":{"b":null}}` to `#!json {}` gives `#!json {"a":{}}` (see example 15 in Appendix A of the RFC).
- If `apply_patch` is not an object, it replaces the target as a whole. In particular, a `#!json null` patch turns the
-  target into `#!json null`. If `apply_patch` is an object and the target is not, the target is first replaced by an
-  empty object, so applying `#!json {}` to `#!json 1` gives `#!json {}`.
- A merge patch cannot express every change; for example, it cannot reorder array elements or remove a specific array
-  element. Use [JSON Patch](../../features/json_patch.md) ([RFC 6902](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6902)) for that.
-  [`merge_diff`](merge_diff.md) has a matching limitation, see its notes.
- A [discarded](is_discarded.md) value is treated like any other non-object value: a discarded
-  `apply_patch` turns the target into a discarded value, and an object patch replaces a discarded target by an object
-  as described above.
