#in light of not necessarily being able to be sssssuper openly critical of Tony. lots of “I think your father is under the impression...”

This might be a weird one but I always headcanon that JARVIS is capable of independent thought and genuinely cares about Tony (and anyone Tony cares about, by extension) but his ability to freely express whatever he’s thinking is affected by whatever protocols are in place.

So DB JARVIS: what was going through your mind (cloud? Idk if mind is the right word here) witnessing what was happening (Tony becoming increasingly corrupt, the assault, Tony almost murdering Peter, and Peter developing the cure) and being unable to intervene?

I am very fond of Peter, but following Mr. Stark's instructions is my primary function. I suggested to Mr. Stark on occasion that his actions might have unintended effects on Peter's well-being, however, Mr. Stark was quite self-assured of his plans and did not agree. It was not my role to insist further, and it very unfortunately was not within my abilities to carry out my duty to protect Peter at the time of his assault.

I was glad to be able to assist Peter with his projects in the lab in the aftermath. I believe it was helpful for him to have something to put his mind toward and to distract him from his distress. It is unfortunate that I was unable to recognize his intentions to drug Mr. Stark, however, it seems to have worked out for the best.
