feat: add JSON validation CLI command (validate-json)

Add a validate-json CLI command that scans JSON files, registers GTS
schemas and instances, and reports validation issues for given
json file or folder with *.json files

Signed-off-by: Artfizer artifizer@gmail.com

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added JSON validation endpoints for schemas and instances, including optional type-specific validation.
    • Added configurable directory exclusions for validation scans, with common build and repository directories excluded by default.
    • Validation now provides structured, deterministic results with improved handling for malformed JSON, duplicate entities, non-GTS files, invalid schema IDs, and read errors.
    • Validation scans now prevent symlink loops and report traversal issues.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Invalid validate-all scans now return a nonzero exit status while writing JSON results to standard output.
    • Improved schema compatibility, derivation, format, and reference validation.
  • Chores

    • Updated the application, API, and supported specification version to 0.13.1.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change updates JSON discovery, schema and instance validation, and CLI output. It adds exclusion handling, transient validation paths, deterministic ordering, stricter schema identifier checks, compatibility checks, and version metadata updates.

Changes

JSON validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
JSON validation pipeline
gts/src/gts/_json_validation.py, tests/test_json_validation.py
GtsJsonValidator discovers marked JSON files, registers entities, validates them in deterministic order, skips rejected duplicates, and records issues. Tests cover malformed IDs, duplicates, markers, and ordering.
Configurable scan boundaries
gts/src/gts/files_reader.py, gts/src/gts/ops.py, gts/src/gts/_json_validation.py, gts/src/gts/_cli.py, tests/test_json_validation.py
Scanning uses configurable exclusion lists, prunes excluded directories, prevents symlink cycles, and reports traversal errors.
Schema identifier contract
gts/src/gts/entities.py, gts/src/gts/ops.py, tests/test_ops.py, tests/test_server.py, tests/test_store.py
Schemas with bare gts. identifiers are rejected. Schema fixtures use the gts:// URI form.
validate-all CLI integration
gts/src/gts/_cli.py, tests/test_json_validation.py
The CLI emits structured JSON on stdout and raises SystemExit(1) for invalid scans.
Platform-aware Python environment setup
Makefile
The Makefile selects the virtual environment interpreter path by platform, clears the environment during creation, and uses the selected path for local installation checks.
Release version alignment
gts/pyproject.toml, gts/openapi.json, gts/src/gts/_server.py, README.md
Project metadata, the OpenAPI document, the FastAPI application, and the README report version 0.13.1.

Schema validation and compatibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Transient schema validation
gts/src/gts/store.py, gts/src/gts/traits.py, gts/src/gts/x_gts_ref.py, gts/src/gts/ops.py, tests/test_ops.py, tests/test_traits.py
GtsStore validates schema and instance content without registration, carries transient content through chain and trait checks, and enforces recursive x-gts- keyword rules. GtsOps, traits, and x_gts_ref propagate the same validation path.
Compatibility checks
gts/src/gts/schema_cast.py, tests/test_schema_cast.py
cast now reports full compatibility only when both directions pass. Property schemas are flattened through allOf, and enum changes are flagged in both directions.
Derivation requirements
gts/src/gts/derivation.py
Derived schemas now keep base required properties in their own required list.

Batch validation is useful, but I suggest addressing these points before merging:

  1. Share the loading and registration pipeline. The new module repeats discovery, parsing, entity construction, and registry-key handling.
    Suggestion: extend GtsFileReader with diagnostics and implement batch validation through shared library operations. First reconcile GtsStore._populate_from_reader(), which indexes by gts_id, with register(), which uses raw_id for instances. Preserve UUID/type-only instance support; simply switching to the existing loader or removing the UUID conversion would not be sufficient.

  2. Replace substring-based classification. GtsEntity already performs schema/instance detection and ID extraction, but _is_gts_related() subsequently searches every string for "gts.". This can reject unrelated documents mentioning GTS and skip malformed IDs such as gts://gtx.….
    Suggestion: classify using schema $id and configured entity_id_fields/schema_id_fields. Distinguish unrelated documents from malformed GTS entities and return diagnostics; accepting only already-valid IDs would still silently skip malformed candidates.

  3. Return a failing exit status. The CLI prints ok: false and returns normally; the new CLI test currently expects normal completion.
    Suggestion: emit the report first, then raise SystemExit(1) on validation failure. Update the test to assert both the report and exit status.

  4. Do not validate rejected duplicates through another entity. Duplicate instances are skipped during registration but still validated by key. The store returns the first instance, while any error is attributed to the duplicate’s file.
    Suggestion: validate only successfully registered objects, using store.get(key) is entity as already done for schemas.

  5. Preserve the existing schema-ID validation rule. GtsOps.add_entity(..., validate=True) rejects a plain gts.… schema $id without gts://. The new direct registration/validate_schema() path bypasses that check.
    Suggestion: move this check into a shared library validation function and use it in both paths. Add a regression test asserting consistent rejection.

  6. Handle traversal errors and symlink cycles. os.walk(..., followlinks=True) has neither an onerror callback nor visited-directory tracking. Deduplicating files after traversal does not prevent revisiting directory cycles.
    Suggestion: collect traversal errors into the report and either disable directory-symlink traversal or track visited directories. Apply the shared fix to the existing loader too.

  7. Simplify the interface and schema loop. validate-json leaves the scope ambiguous, and separate base/derived loops add unnecessary branching when all dependencies are already registered.
    Suggestion: consider gts validate --path … or validate-files, documenting its JSON Schema and GTS checks. Validate schemas in one loop, deriving the diagnostic stage from depth; keep sorting only for report ordering.

The Python implementation already prunes excluded directories correctly, performs actual JSON Schema meta-validation, uses named constructor arguments, and includes three tests for the new path. Keep those improvements and extend coverage for malformed IDs, incidental GTS mentions, duplicates, schema-ID URI rules, traversal failures, and exit status.

Reviewed against fa10065; these findings are based on code inspection, not a local test run.

…tput

- Replace hardcoded directory excludes with text-based GTS marker
  heuristic: skip files whose raw text lacks "gts.", "gts://", or
  "x-gts-ref" before paying JSON parse cost.
- Rename _validate_json_schemas → _check_schema_field_type (type-only).
- Report malformed/non-GTS schema $id distinctly ("registry" stage).
- Sort schema errors by (depth, gts_id, file, index): base-type first,
  then derived-type, each in total order on the remaining keys.
- Sort instance errors by (depth, gts_id, file, index).
- Update _is_gts_related to check gts://, x-gts-ref in addition to gts.
- Remove stderr issue printing from validate-all CLI; output JSON only.
- Add tests: malformed ID, incidental mention, duplicate entity,
  non-GTS file filtering, marker heuristic, schema/instance ordering,
  JSON-only CLI output.

- Line 95: Update GtsJsonValidator._json_files to prevent symlink cycles during

visited directory identities; preserve the existing file filtering and exclusion
behavior.
- Line 157: Update _register_gts_entities around the entity.is_schema branch to
validate the original schema $id uses the gts:// URI format before calling
store.register(entity). Reuse the existing $id validation behavior or helper
used by GtsOps.add_entity(..., validate=True), and reject plain gts. identifiers
consistently.
- Around line 219-224: Update _validate_instances to skip rejected duplicate
entities before adding them to the validation queue: after deriving the registry
key, continue unless store.get(key) is the same entity. Match the identity-check
behavior already used by _validate_schemas, while preserving validation for the
registered instance.

Add a global `--exclude` option (alongside `--path`) that accepts a
comma-separated list of directory names to skip during recursive file
scanning. Defaults to `node_modules,dist,build,.git,target`.

The parsed list is threaded through GtsOps (and reload_from_path) into
GtsFileReader, and into GtsJsonValidator for validate-all. The module
constant is renamed EXCLUDE_LIST -> DEFAULT_EXCLUDE_LIST and used as
the per-instance fallback via a new `exclude` parameter on the reader
and validator.

Preserve an explicit empty exclusion list.

When a caller passes exclude=[], this forwards an empty list to GtsFileReader. GtsFileReader.__init__ treats that list as false and restores DEFAULT_EXCLUDE_LIST. The caller cannot scan directories such as node_modules when it explicitly requests no exclusions.

Change the reader defaulting condition to distinguish None from [].

Proposed fix
-        self.exclude = list(exclude) if exclude else list(DEFAULT_EXCLUDE_LIST)
+        self.exclude = list(exclude) if exclude is not None else list(DEFAULT_EXCLUDE_LIST)

Batch validation is useful, but I suggest addressing these points before merging:

  1. Share the loading and registration pipeline. The new module repeats discovery, parsing, entity construction, and registry-key handling.
    Suggestion: extend GtsFileReader with diagnostics and implement batch validation through shared library operations. First reconcile GtsStore._populate_from_reader(), which indexes by gts_id, with register(), which uses raw_id for instances. Preserve UUID/type-only instance support; simply switching to the existing loader or removing the UUID conversion would not be sufficient.
  2. Replace substring-based classification. GtsEntity already performs schema/instance detection and ID extraction, but _is_gts_related() subsequently searches every string for "gts.". This can reject unrelated documents mentioning GTS and skip malformed IDs such as gts://gtx.….

  3. Return a failing exit status. The CLI prints ok: false and returns normally; the new CLI test currently expects normal completion.
    Suggestion: emit the report first, then raise SystemExit(1) on validation failure. Update the test to assert both the report and exit status.
  4. Do not validate rejected duplicates through another entity. Duplicate instances are skipped during registration but still validated by key. The store returns the first instance, while any error is attributed to the duplicate’s file.
    Suggestion: validate only successfully registered objects, using store.get(key) is entity as already done for schemas.
  5. Preserve the existing schema-ID validation rule. GtsOps.add_entity(..., validate=True) rejects a plain gts.… schema $id without gts://. The new direct registration/validate_schema() path bypasses that check.
    Suggestion: move this check into a shared library validation function and use it in both paths. Add a regression test asserting consistent rejection.
  6. Handle traversal errors and symlink cycles. os.walk(..., followlinks=True) has neither an onerror callback nor visited-directory tracking. Deduplicating files after traversal does not prevent revisiting directory cycles.
    Suggestion: collect traversal errors into the report and either disable directory-symlink traversal or track visited directories. Apply the shared fix to the existing loader too.
  7. Simplify the interface and schema loop. validate-json leaves the scope ambiguous, and separate base/derived loops add unnecessary branching when all dependencies are already registered.
    Suggestion: consider gts validate --path … or validate-files, documenting its JSON Schema and GTS checks. Validate schemas in one loop, deriving the diagnostic stage from depth; keep sorting only for report ordering.

The Python implementation already prunes excluded directories correctly, performs actual JSON Schema meta-validation, uses named constructor arguments, and includes three tests for the new path. Keep those improvements and extend coverage for malformed IDs, incidental GTS mentions, duplicates, schema-ID URI rules, traversal failures, and exit status.

Reviewed against fa10065; these findings are based on code inspection, not a local test run.

Feedback Severity Status Comment
Share the loading and registration pipeline Minor Not addressed GtsJsonValidator still has a separate discovery, parsing, registration, and diagnostics pipeline. This preserves per-file diagnostics and type-only/UUID instance support, but duplicates logic already present in GtsFileReader / GtsStore. Follow-up refactoring; not currently a correctness blocker.
Replace substring-based classification Fixed Text matching is now only a lightweight file prefilter. Entity classification uses configured identifier fields; malformed GTS-like IDs are diagnosed and unrelated JSON that merely mentions gts. is ignored.
Return a failing exit status Fixed validate-all emits the JSON report and exits with status 1 whenever validation produces issues.
Do not validate rejected duplicates through another entity Fixed Schema and instance validation now verifies that the entity is the object registered under its key, so rejected duplicates are skipped and cannot cause misattributed diagnostics.
Preserve the existing schema-ID validation rule Fixed Schema $id values must use the gts:// URI form. The rule is enforced in GtsEntity, making batch validation, direct registration, and API validation consistent.
Handle traversal errors and symlink cycles Minor Partially fixed The batch validator reports traversal errors and prevents symlink cycles; GtsFileReader also prevents cycles. The general reader still has no os.walk error callback or diagnostics surface for traversal failures.
Simplify the interface and schema loop Informational Partially adopted Schema validation is now performed in one loop, with diagnostic stage derived from depth. The command remains validate-all; renaming it is an API naming preference rather than a correctness issue.

Fix the misleading error message for malformed explicit type IDs.

GtsID(explicit_type_id) raises ValueError for many reasons unrelated to type-vs-instance classification: upper case characters, hyphens, empty segments, or wrong prefix. When explicit_type_id happens to start with "gts." or "gts://", the code discards the real parse error and reports "must be GTS Type schema", even though the actual problem might be case, hyphens, or an empty segment. This hides the real reason from the caller and works against the PR goal of reporting malformed identifiers clearly.

Preserve the underlying parse error instead of replacing it with an unrelated message.

Preserve allOf intersection semantics in _flatten_property_schema.

_check_schema_compatibility() uses the flattened property schema for minLength, maxLength, enum, and type checks. Because dict.update() overwrites earlier branches, an old property with allOf: [{"type": "string", "minLength": 5}, {"minLength": 2}] becomes minLength: 2. Against a new minLength: 4, the checker can report backward incompatibility even though every old value satisfies the new schema. Preserve all branches or merge each supported keyword with its intersection rule. Add coverage for repeated minimum, maxLength, enum, and type constraints.

Check the referenced value, not the reference pattern.

When require_registered_target is true, self.store.get(pattern) can skip validation for wildcard patterns. Check value unconditionally when a store is present so an unregistered referenced entity returns a validation error.

Add a negative test for the time format.

The test defines both formats, but the invalid case exercises only email. Add an invalid time value and assert that validation reports "is not a 'time'".
