This reference provides crucial evidence for the involvment of zwitterionic intermediates. Although the authors mentioned a C-H insertion process, they described an intramolecular aromatic metal carbene electrophilic addition mechanism. In our opinion, the aromatic electrophilic addition mechanism is reasonable due to the existence of zwitterionic intermediates. On the other hand, an orbital symmetry allowed H[1,5] sigmatropic shift is a more reasonable process than their proposed 1,2-proton transfer for the proton transfer.
