Changes requested
The intent to narrow the bare except blocks is correct, but the second change introduces a compatibility regression.
A deeply nested JSON string that currently falls back to a normal code string now raises RecursionError from json.loads(), which can abort a tool call. I reproduced this with a 2,000-level nested JSON value: main returns a string, while this PR raises RecursionError.
Please isolate the json.loads() calls from the subsequent recursive cleanup and catch parsing failures appropriate for untrusted model output, including RecursionError where the existing fail-soft behavior is intended. Exceptions from unrelated cleanup logic should remain visible.
Please add regression tests for malformed JSON, deeply nested JSON, nested code fields, and propagation of KeyboardInterrupt/SystemExit. The full local suite passes, but it does not cover _clean_code_string().
Summary
Two bare

A bare except also swallowsKeyboardInterrupt/SystemExitand can mask unrelated bugs in the recursive code-cleaning path. Narrowed both to the exceptionsjson.loadsactually raises:Behavior for malformed JSON input is unchanged — only the accidental swallowing of process-control exceptions is removed.
