+              Pin json-smart to 2.5.2. The 17.104 framework line pulls json-path 2.9.0 -> json-smart
+              2.4.9 transitively (compile scope in listing-event-processor, test scope elsewhere via
+              RestPoller). json-smart 2.4.9 has a regression in its depth guard: the nesting counter
+              is not decremented correctly, so the hardcoded MAX_DEPTH=400 effectively caps the total
+              number of objects/arrays in a document rather than actual nesting depth. Legitimate
+              large payloads (~64KB+) then fail with "Malicious payload, having non natural depths"
+              (InvalidJsonException), breaking any JsonPath evaluation over a big document — e.g.
+              RangeSearchQueryForCourtCalendarIT, whose court-centre verify response exceeds 64KB once
+              it holds 5 hearings — and a latent production risk in the event processor. 2.5.x fixes
+              the counter (correct depth accounting) while keeping the guard. 2.5.2 verified against
+              the failing payload and compatible with json-path 2.9.0.
