The implementation is already complete and all tests pass. Here's the summary:

The fix has been implemented across 7 commits on this branch. The core changes are:

scripts/sw-loop.sh (18 lines changed):

• Case 2 (line 579): Extended condition from first_char == "[" to first_char == "[" || first_char == "{" so JSON objects enter the jq parsing path
• Added branching logic within Case 2 to handle arrays (.[-1].result) vs objects (.result) and arrays (.[].content) vs objects (.content)
• Case 3 (line 609): Now only reachable when jq is genuinely unavailable, making the "jq not available" warning accurate

scripts/sw-loop-test.sh (45 lines added):

• Test 23: 4 assertions covering JSON object extraction:
  1. Extracts .result from JSON object
  2. Falls back to .content from JSON object
  3. Shows placeholder for JSON object with neither field
  4. Verifies the misleading "jq not available" warning does NOT appear when jq IS available

• All 69 loop tests pass
• The branch has the fix + autonomous cleanup iterations
• Ready for PR creation

• JSON objects ({...}) are parsed by jq instead of falling through to misleading warning
• JSON arrays ([...]) continue to work as before
• The "jq not available" warning only appears when jq is genuinely unavailable
• .result extraction works for both formats
• .content fallback works for both formats
• Tests cover all edge cases
• All existing tests still pass
