A repo sync no longer fails over an ordinary JSON file

Syncing a source repository brings its files into the mesh. Some of those files describe content; most are just part of the project — an npm manifest, a compiler configuration, a lock file.

Every JSON file was being read as though it described a piece of content. When one of them did not fit — an npm package.json records its version as 0.1.0, where content records a version as a number — the sync reported the file as broken and finished as failed. The file was fine; it was simply never content. Any repository holding one showed a failed sync on every run, and the genuine problems that report is meant to surface were buried alongside it.

The quieter case mattered more. A JSON file with nothing in common with a content file did not fail at all — it was imported as an empty entry, silently. So the two possible outcomes for an ordinary project file were a false alarm or an invisible piece of clutter.

A sync now recognises which JSON files describe content and leaves the rest alone, exactly as it already does for other project files. A file that genuinely is content but is malformed is still reported — that report now means what it says.
