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 configurable directory exclusions for validation scans, including .git and target by default.
    • Validation reports now include schema, instance, and entity counts with structured, deterministic issue details.
    • Added improved handling for malformed JSON, duplicate entities, non-GTS files, malformed schema IDs, and read errors.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Validation now prevents symlink loops and reports directory traversal errors.
    • Invalid validate-all scans return a nonzero exit status.
  • Chores

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

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change expands JSON discovery and validation, adds configurable scan exclusions and structured validate-all output, adds deterministic validation coverage, and updates project, OpenAPI, server, and README versions to 0.13.1.

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, tests/test_json_validation.py
Scanning uses configurable exclusion lists, prunes excluded directories, prevents symlink cycles, and reports traversal errors.
validate-all CLI integration
gts/src/gts/_cli.py, tests/test_json_validation.py
The CLI parses --exclude, emits structured JSON on stdout, and raises SystemExit(1) for invalid scans.
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.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c2a10

The validation changes should not merge yet because scans can hang on directory symlink cycles, and schema IDs may be accepted differently between CLI scanning and existing registration paths.

without an entity ID.

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.

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.

Enforce the gts:// format before registering schemas.

GtsID accepts both gts. and gts:// identifiers. _register_gts_entities() then registers the normalized ID without checking the original $id, while GtsOps.add_entity(..., validate=True) rejects plain gts. schema IDs. Apply the same $id URI check before store.register(entity) so both paths enforce one contract.

Comment thread gts/src/gts/_json_validation.py
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.

Track visited directory identities during file discovery.

GtsFileReader._collect_files follows directory symlinks without tracking visited (st_dev, st_ino) pairs. A symlink such as loop -> . makes os.walk revisit the same directory indefinitely when the reader is iterated. Add the seen_dirs guard used by GtsJsonValidator._json_files and clear dirs for visited directories.
