/**
 * Minimal RFC 8785 JSON Canonicalization Scheme (JCS) implementation.
 *
 * Sufficient for the reference CLI. For production, use a heavily tested
 * implementation (e.g. `canonicalize` on npm, which is the one the reference
 * MCP server should pin to). This implementation handles only the subset of
 * JSON that appears in Aithos documents: strings, numbers (integers within
 * Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER), booleans, null, arrays, objects.
 *
 * Strings are serialized with the minimal-escape rules of RFC 8785 §3.2.2.
 * Numbers are serialized per ES6 ToString, which matches JCS for safe
 * integers and common fractions but may diverge for pathological floats. The
 * Aithos protocol does not rely on floating-point in any signed field.
