LLM formatting normalization prevents generation retries

A new method for deterministic formatting normalization addresses issues where Large Language Model (LLM) outputs fail validation due to minor whitespace variations. This technique prevents costly regeneration attempts by automatically correcting common formatting errors, such as labels appearing inline with prose instead of on their own line. The approach is designed to be narrowly scoped to avoid corrupting other code elements and adheres to specifications like CommonMark, while respecting platform constraints such as those found in Cloudflare Workers.
