The structured output JSON comes embedded inside the API response, which is also a JSON. Since we have to parse the response to process it, any control characters inside the structured output are unescaped into regular characters, leading to invalid JSON and breaking during parsing. This change adds a retry mechanism that escapes
the string again if parsing fails, preventing the parser from breaking on malformed input and working around this issue.
For example:
```
original = '{ "a": "{\\"key\\":\\"value with \\n newline\\"}" }'
JSON.parse(original) => { "a" => "{\"key\":\"value with \n newline\"}" }
# At this point, the inner JSON string contains an actual newline.
```
This change fixes two bugs and adds a safeguard.
The first issue is that the schema Gemini expected differed from the one sent, resulting in 400 errors when performing completions.
The second issue was that creating a new persona won't define a method
for `response_format`. This has to be explicitly defined when we wrap it inside the Persona class. Also, There was a mismatch between the default value and what we stored in the DB. Some parts of the code expected symbols as keys and others as strings.
Finally, we add a safeguard when, even if asked to, the model refuses to reply with a valid JSON. In this case, we are making a best-effort to recover and stream the raw response.
* DEV: Use structured responses for summaries
* Fix system specs
* Make response_format a first class citizen and update endpoints to support it
* Response format can be specified in the persona
* lint
* switch to jsonb and make column nullable
* Reify structured output chunks. Move JSON parsing to the depths of Completion
* Switch to JsonStreamingTracker for partial JSON parsing
