Ok, now I tested with

  emacs -Q --load ~/recipe-71367@debbugs.gnu.org.el

where the recipe is:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(progn
  ;; Native compile doesn't make a difference...
  (setq native-comp-jit-compilation-deny-list '(".*breadcrumb.*"))
  (package-initialize)
  (package-activate 'breadcrumb)
  (breadcrumb-mode)
  ;; Using json-ts-mode is essential!
  (add-to-list 'major-mode-remap-alist '(js-json-mode . json-ts-mode))
  (find-file "~/mirrorstatus.json"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Before firing up Emacs, I've deleted the breadcrumb ELN file.

With the above recipe, Emacs instantly freezes when the file gets
displayed.  So native compilation of breadcrumb.el is not required in
order to observe this bug.  Using json-ts-mode instead of the default
js-json-mode is, though.

Bye,
