The Red panda kept failing with "The AI reply wasn't the JSON asked for", and
nothing showed what came back. Now:
- the prompt includes an example object with just the requested fields
(DeepSeek's JSON mode can otherwise send back an empty reply)
- JSON is found inside code fences, notes, or braces after it
- a bad reply is asked again up to twice: with more room when it was cut off,
and the last time without JSON mode; max_tokens starts at 1500
- the error says whether the reply was empty or cut off and quotes its start
- tokens spent on failed attempts count towards the run's cost
