nested arrays; comments; mixed values; trailing commas; and malformed-input rejection. Added focused Go tests. Validation passed: - Key valid: 28/28 - Key invalid: 61/61 - Array valid: 21/21 - Array invalid: 26/26 - `go test -race ./...` - `go vet ./...` BLOCKERS: - Full conformance still has unrelated failures in table lifecycle, floats, inline tables, integers, and strings outside this build block.
