Bug report

The following snippets crashes with an assertion error on the debug build:

import io, tokenize
list(tokenize.generate_tokens(io.StringIO("f'{]a'").readline))

The ] closes the replacement field's { without an error, because tokenize tolerates mismatched brackets (gh-105042). The f-string state still expects that { on the bracket stack. Release builds don't crash; they read a stale stack entry instead.

The parser rejects the same input with SyntaxError: f-string: unmatched ']', and tokenize mode should do the same.
