JSON Sample File for Schema Drift At Scale
Use large valid JSON documents plus drift-oriented controls to catch validators that only fail once payload size and field variance combine.

Validation Checklist
- Validate that schema-drift detection still fires when payload size is large enough to change parser strategy.
- Compare nested, array, and drift-heavy payloads under the same limits and timeout budgets.
- Record field-level rejection output so large-payload failures are still actionable.
