Unpacker.skip() does not build the objects on the parser stack. So stack[].obj stays uninitialized after an incomplete skip(). A later Unpacker.unpack() writes an array item through that pointer and the process crashes. The reverse order drops the reference that the construct pass took. Record the mode that started the object in unpack_context. unpack_construct() and unpack_skip() now raise ValueError on a change. The parser state stays intact, so the original mode still finishes the object.

🟢 Approval recommended
The guard preserves parser state and the tests cover both unsafe mode-switch directions.

Changes:
