Problem

Picker fetch failures and JSON decode failures are now mostly represented as structured failures, but valid JSON with an unexpected shape can still throw after decode during backend normalization, field access, display formatting, or build_entries. Those exceptions can escape async callbacks as scheduled Lua errors instead of becoming picker error rows.

Scope

Guard picker row-building after successful JSON decode.
Cover PR, issue, CI, checks, and release picker builders.
Convert row-builder exceptions into bounded error rows and debug details.
Add tests for valid JSON with an unexpected backend shape.

Non-goals

Do not change backend schemas.
Do not add broad validation beyond the picker boundary.
Do not change normal displayed row formats.
