Locales JSON checks preventing theme updates

Hey @Liam-Shopify Sorry to @ you on here but we have no other way to communicate now.

Did Shopify recently add some form of checking to the locales JSON files during updates?
We have seen a lot of merchants over the past few weeks unable to update themes due to some invalid JSON in older theme versions, even when this is rectified manually the update still fails with JSON errors.

Big problem as merchants can not update some themes right now.

Liam is currently OOO, and please don’t tag Shopify staff members that haven’t already engaged in a topic, this is outlined in the Code of Conduct.
