ChangesList matching
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This change fixes duplicate reuse in unordered list matching, but the current greedy matching can still reject valid responses when a broad expected item consumes an item needed by a more specific one. The PR is not merge-ready until complete one-to-one matching is implemented or this behavior is explicitly accepted and covered by a regression test. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Replace greedy matching with complete one-to-one matching.
Line 494 selects the first response item that matches each expected item. This can reject a valid unordered match when an earlier broad matcher consumes an item required by a later specific matcher.
For example, expected=[ANYTHING, {"id": 1}] and actual=[{"id": 1}, {"id": 2}] should match. The first expected item consumes {"id": 1}, then the second item cannot match. Use backtracking or bipartite matching to find a complete assignment. Add this case as a regression test.

This makes sense but it would be more work so I'll create a separate issue

Fixes
strict: json:list_any_orderallowing the same response item to satisfy multiple expected items.For example:
This incorrectly passed because the actual-items iterator was reset after each match, allowing
"a"to be reused.Fix
Use a pool of remaining response items and remove each item once matched. This ensures each actual item can satisfy only one expected item while still allowing any order.
The order-sensitive matching behavior is unchanged.
