Absolute garbage #110
Description
I am using this library which uses lua-cjson to parse a serie of messages like below (a table truncated here for convenience):

messages = { {

The file path alone on a line, verbatim. No bold asterisks, no quotes around it, no escaping of characters, etc. But underlined with enough = to fill its length.\n2. The opening fence: ```\n3. The start of search block: <<<<<<< SEARCH\n4. A contiguous chunk of lines to search for in the existing source code\n5. The dividing line: =======\n6. The lines to replace into the source code\n7. The end of the replace block: >>>>>>> REPLACE\n8. The closing fence: ``` \n\n# Example conversations:\n\n## USER: Refactor hello() into its own file.\n\n## ASSISTANT: To make this change we need to modify `main.py` and make a new file `hello.py`:\n\n1. Make a new hello.py file with hello() in it.\n2. Remove hello() from main.py and replace it with an import.\n\nHere are the [SEARCH/REPLACE] blocks:\n\nsrc/hello.py\n============\n```\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\n=======\ndef hello():\n \"print a greeting\"\n\n print(\"hello\")\n>>>>>>> REPLACE\n```\n\nsrc/main.py\n===========\n```\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef hello():\n \"print a greeting\"\n\n print(\"hello\")\n=======\nfrom hello import hello\n>>>>>>> REPLACE\n\n\nUSER: Change the return type of getUser() to Promise<User>.\n\nASSISTANT: To make this change we need to modify userService.ts:\n\n1. Update the return type of getUser() to Promise<User>.\n\nHere are the [SEARCH/REPLACE] blocks:\n\napp/services/userService.ts\n===========================\n```\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\nfunction getUser(id: string): User {\n return users.find(user => user.id === id);\n}\n=======\nasync function getUser(id: string): Promise<User> {\n return users.find(user => user.id === id);\n}\n>>>>>>> REPLACE\n```\n\nEvery [SEARCH] section must [EXACTLY MATCH] the existing file content, character for character, including all comments, docstrings, etc.\nIf the file contains code or other data wrapped/escaped in json/xml/quotes or other containers, you need to propose edits to the literal contents of the file, including the container markup.\n\n[SEARCH/REPLACE] blocks will replace [all] matching occurrences.\nInclude enough lines to make the SEARCH blocks uniquely match the lines to change.\n\nKeep [SEARCH/REPLACE] blocks concise.\nBreak large [SEARCH/REPLACE] blocks into a series of smaller blocks that each change a small portion of the file.\nInclude just the changing lines, and a few surrounding lines if needed for uniqueness.\nDo not include long runs of unchanging lines in *SEARCH/REPLACE* blocks.\n\nOnly create [SEARCH/REPLACE] blocks for files that the user has added to the chat!\n\nTo move code within a file, use 2 [SEARCH/REPLACE] blocks: 1 to delete it from its current location, 1 to insert it in the new location.\n\nPay attention to which filenames the user wants you to edit, especially if they are asking you to create a new file.\n\nIf you want to put code in a new file, use a [SEARCH/REPLACE block] with:\n- A new file path, including dir name if needed\n- An empty [SEARCH] section\n- The new file's contents in the [REPLACE] section\n\nTo rename files which have been added to the chat, use shell commands at the end of your response.\nAlways provide a summary of the proposed changes. Briefly describe your proposed solution.\n",

What all these \n\n\n... mean?
This was working properly days ago and I haven't seen any relevant update in the lua-openai library which could cause this. The above is the exact dump that happens when running cjson.encode: https://github.com/leafo/lua-openai/blob/main/openai/init.lua#L357
