Specification
The requirement exactly as authored — its complete prose text and, where present, the formal FRETish sentence it compiles to.
When the input is malformed outside the addressed token path but the parser can still isolate a complete addressed token or determine that the path is absent, Get shall preserve the corresponding best-effort success or not-found result instead of requiring full-document rejection.
the parser shall always satisfy !malformed_input_outside_addressed_token | !addressed_token_can_be_isolated | returns_best_effort_lookup_result

Why this requirement exists, and how it is categorised.
Rationale & tags
Why this requirement exists, and how it is categorised.
The current implementation intentionally tolerates some malformed-document cases for performance, and that externally visible behavior should be either specified or explicitly retired from the contract.
Verification & provenance
How this requirement was checked: the review trail, edit history, and the machine-analysis status terms (each ⓘ explains what it means).

Obligations
What this requirement must witness to be considered satisfied — the required evidence, and the tests that discharge each one.
No obligations recorded for this requirement
Proof obligations are recorded once evidence is generated. None have been captured here yet — this is expected, not a gap in the requirement itself. A required class of evidence the requirement must witness — the bridge between the requirement existing and it being proven.
Formula evidence
The formal formula behind this requirement, the variables it is written over, and the tests that exercise it (each term is explained inline).

Variables
| Name | Type | Direction | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| malformed_input_outside_addressed_token | — | True when malformed JSON appears outside the addressed token path rather than inside the token that lookup is trying to return. | |
| addressed_token_can_be_isolated | — | True when Get can still isolate a complete addressed token or determine lookup absence despite malformed input elsewhere in the document. | |
| returns_best_effort_lookup_result | — | True when Get preserves the corresponding success or not-found lookup result despite malformed input outside the addressed token path. |
