Adds severity, category and typed causes to pkg/go/validation findings, via a new pkg/go/errors package.

Description

What problem is being solved?

  • No errors.Is target on a finding, so callers matched message text.
  • ErrorMetadata's Type/Relation/Condition were declared but never populated.
  • No way to report anything non-fatal: validity was len(errors) > 0.

How is it being solved?

  • 19 sentinels in pkg/go/errors/sentinels.go, matched with errors.Is. 5 of them match pkg/typesystem in openfga/openfga by name and by message text.
  • 5 scoped types wrap the sentinel, matched with errors.As: ErrObjectType, ErrRelation, ErrRelationCondition, ErrCondition, ErrModel. The first two are field-for-field identical to typesystem.InvalidTypeError and InvalidRelationError.
  • Severity (error/warning/advisory, with Blocks()) and ModelErrorKind, the scope as a name for consumers that only see JSON. Both are int enums from iota + 1 with an Unspecified zero, so a value that was never set cannot pass for one that was.
  • ModelErrorKind also picks which scoped type wraps the sentinel, so it is not only a serialised label.
  • Both serialise through MarshalText/UnmarshalText, which keeps the names on the wire and the ordinals renumberable. A map key needs those methods specifically: encoding/json consults neither String nor MarshalJSON for a key, and ValidationSummary.FindingsBySeverity is keyed by Severity.
  • error_info.go maps code to severity, category, cause and Critical: 22 entries for the 22 codes with a raise site, the other 5 declared codes listed in unemittedErrorTypes. A raise site can override the category where one code reaches more than one scope.
  • Serialised metadata is derived from the wrapped cause, so JSON scope and the errors.As payload cannot drift.

What changes are made to solve it?

  • Scope populated on metadata; offendingType emitted from RaiseInvalidTypeRelation, the raise site pkg/js sets it at, carrying the enclosing type as pkg/js does. No corpus case asserts that field, so a Go test pins it.
  • A malformed condition name is scoped to the condition through RaiseInvalidConditionName: metadata.condition carries the name, metadata.type stays empty, and errors.As yields *ErrCondition. RaiseInvalidName with a nil type had reported it as an object type.
  • HasErrors/Count/GetErrors/ValidationReport.IsValid count blocking findings; AllFindings/HasFindings/CountAll count all.
  • criticalErrorTypes folded into the same table, so criticality and blocking cannot disagree.
  • Cascade fix: RunAllValidations gated later phases on any finding, so one advisory would have skipped duplicate, entry-point, tupleset, complex-operation and wildcard validation. It now counts blocking findings.
  • Corpus runner compares message, symbol, error type and both ends of the position, and pairs each expected error with a distinct finding.
  • Go now reads tests/data/json-validation-cases.yaml, which pkg/js and pkg/java already consume.
  • That caught multiple-modules-in-file three ways: Go's own message wording; relation-declared modules never collected, so such a file passed; module list ranged out of a map[string]bool, so it varied per run.
  • Fixed by collecting types, then relations, then conditions, matching JS Set insertion and Java LinkedHashSet. Sorting is deterministic and still fails the corpus. Proto maps carry no order, so relation and condition walks are sorted by name.
  • Severity fixtures in pkg/go/validation/testdata/severity-category-cases.yaml, not the shared corpus: pkg/java reads that file with a bare YAMLMapper and pkg/js asserts with toMatchObject, so a Go-only key breaks both. A test enforces it; the corpus gains a header comment only.
  • docs/validation/model schema pages rewritten around what is emitted: an unrecognised version reports invalid-schema with invalid schema 0.9, and a malformed schema line is a transformer syntax error with no code. The structural examples they carried were never reachable.
  • The error-code index and the troubleshooting table name the five declared-but-unemitted codes as such. invalid-schema-version had the same summary as invalid-schema in the index and the same quick fix in the guide, for a code no validation produces.
  • pkg/js/package-lock.json bumps brace-expansion for two audit advisories. Unrelated, happy to split out.

Breaking changes

Source-level for Go callers. Wire format unchanged except the one message text.

  • ValidateDSL/ValidateJSON/ValidateModel/ValidateModelJSON return error, not a never-nil *ValidationErrors. errors.As recovers the collection.
  • LineRange and ColumnRange collapse into Range; ValidationError.Line/.Column are *Range. JSON byte-identical.
  • ErrorCollector.GetErrors is now AllFindings. ValidationErrors.GetErrors keeps its name and returns blocking findings only.
  • ValidateMultipleModulesInFile/ValidateBasicModelStructure take []FileInfo, not map[string]map[string]bool.
  • RaiseInvalidRelationError drops the unused validRelations; RaiseReservedRelationName takes the enclosing type.
  • SemanticValidator.GetRelationNames removed, no callers outside its own test.
  • multiple-modules-in-file message text now matches the other SDKs, and a file whose only extra module comes from a relation now fails.
  • Additive: ValidationError.Cause with Unwrap() error, tagged json:"-" since an error has no concrete type to decode into; ValidationErrors.Unwrap() []error.
  • All 22 entries are SeverityError, so Count() == CountAll() and no verdict changes. Unknown codes fall back to blocking. New JSON fields are omitempty. pkg/go/graph untouched.

Testing

  • go build ./... clean, go test ./... -count=1 green.
  • dsl-semantic-validation-cases.yaml: 84 pass, 7 skip, the same 91 cases as develop.
  • json-validation-cases.yaml: 5/5, including file_can_only_include_one_module, which failed all three ways before the fix.
  • golangci-lint: 67 issues on develop, 6 here, none new. The 6 are godot in graph/weighted_graph_edge.go.
  • Exhaustiveness tests walk the AST for addError/addScopedError and parse the const block, so an unclassified code fails the build.
  • A test pins every table entry to a blocking severity. Downgrading each entry in turn showed 18 of the 22 were already caught by a corpus case, a severity fixture or TestCriticalImpliesBlocking; the other 4 passed the whole suite, and one of those, schema-version-unsupported, is emitted.
  • multi_file_validation.go had no tests; it now covers collection order over 100 runs, the per-field fallback and all 8 accessors.
  • Shared corpus change is comment-only, so pkg/js and pkg/java are unaffected.

Notes

  • warning: valid now, leans on something a future version may not accept. advisory: stays valid, but a request against it may not do what the author expects.
  • duplicated-error stays one code. Its 6 raise sites differ only in scope, and the slug is pinned in 18 places in the corpus.
  • Scoped types are named for the scope, not the problem: ErrReservedKeywords arrives as both ErrObjectType and ErrRelation, and 12 of the 22 entries are relation-scoped.
  • Go collects a file's modules unconditionally; pkg/js skips relation and condition collection once the model has errors. No corpus case distinguishes them.

Not addressed here

  • pkg/go/errors carries no position, so errors.As yields the sentinel and scope but not the location.
  • ValidationError is still both the error value and the serialised shape. Splitting the output struct out of the return type belongs with the CLI output work, not here.
  • A model whose only findings are non-blocking returns nil from the entry points, so those findings are reachable only through CreateValidationReport. Nothing is non-blocking today and the test above keeps it that way, so the first warning has to settle what the entry points return.
  • ErrRelation.ObjectType can be empty from RaiseAssignableRelationMustHaveTypes and RaiseMaximumOneDirectRelationship, neither of which has a production caller.
  • RaiseInvalidType ignores typeName: Metadata.Type holds the invalid type where pkg/js holds the enclosing one. Reconciling moves that code's category.
  • Slug drift: Go declares 27 codes, JS 21, Java 23. RaiseInvalidSchemaVersion tags invalid-schema, leaving invalid-schema-version unreachable.
  • Five Raise* methods have no production callers, and four of those have no callers at all: RaiseUndefinedRelation, RaiseDuplicateRelationshipDefinition, RaiseAssignableTypeWildcardRelation and RaiseMaximumOneDirectRelationship. So undefined-relation (critical), assignable-relation-must-have-type and type-wildcard-relation are unreachable despite having table entries. Same on develop; the exhaustiveness test reads raise sites, not callers.
  • ValidationContext.FileToModuleMap/AddModuleToFile/HasMultipleModulesInFile duplicate the file-to-module structure and are populated by nothing in production.

Walkthrough

The change adds typed Go validation errors, severity-aware finding aggregation, deterministic validation order, ordered multi-file metadata, strict validation corpus tests, and updated schema-version documentation.

Changes

Validation error contracts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Typed error contracts and serialization
pkg/go/errors/*
Adds sentinel errors, scoped model error types, error categories, severity values, and serialization helpers.
Finding metadata and collection
pkg/go/validation/error_info.go, pkg/go/validation/error_collector.go, pkg/go/validation/errors.go
Adds centralized error metadata, typed causes, scopes, blocking-severity filtering, all-finding access, and error unwrapping.

Validation execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Deterministic validation and file context
pkg/go/validation/*_validation.go, pkg/go/validation/multi_file_validation.go, pkg/go/validation/schema_validation.go
Sorts map-backed validation traversal and preserves ordered file and module information.
Severity-aware validation engine
pkg/go/validation/validation_engine.go, pkg/go/validation/errors.go
Validation entry points return errors containing recoverable findings. Warnings and advisories remain reportable without invalidating the model. Summaries separate blocking errors from total findings.

Validation coverage and documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validation corpus and metadata tests
pkg/go/validation/*_test.go, pkg/go/validation/testdata/*
Adds coverage for typed causes, severity behavior, criticality, serialization, deterministic order, JSON cases, and strict YAML corpus matching.
Schema-version documentation
docs/validation/model/*, tests/data/dsl-semantic-validation-cases.yaml
Documents supported schema versions, unrecognized versions, non-emitted error codes, related errors, examples, and shared corpus fields.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8bac7

The PR adds typed validation findings while preserving current blocking behavior. Merge readiness is low risk but not fully clean because two schema examples fail documentation lint and an edge case can make severity totals disagree with total findings; both are localized follow-ups with no indicated broad production impact.

  • This row still presents invalid-schema-version as the code for an unrecognised version, but ValidateSchemaVersion calls RaiseInvalidSchemaVersion, which emits InvalidSchema (invalid-schema). That contradicts the rewritten page and will send users looking for a code the validator never emits; mark this slug as legacy/unemitted (or remove it from the emitted-error table).

docs/validation/model/TROUBLESHOOTING_GUIDE.md:24

  • This quick-fix row implies callers can receive invalid-schema-version for an unrecognised version, while the implementation emits invalid-schema. Please identify this as an unemitted legacy slug so the troubleshooting table agrees with the actual wire code.

  • An unrecognised declared version is reported as invalid-schema, not invalid-schema-version (RaiseInvalidSchemaVersion deliberately emits InvalidSchema). Link to the emitted code here; otherwise this related-error description contradicts runtime behavior.

  • As with ValidateDSL, returning ErrorOrNil() here discards a warning/advisory-only collection, leaving JSON callers no value from which to read AllFindings. Preserve findings in the public result (or clearly expose a separate findings-returning API) so non-blocking validation output is not silently lost.
    docs/validation/model/TROUBLESHOOTING_GUIDE.md:24
  • This troubleshooting row says an unrecognised version produces invalid-schema-version, while the validator emits invalid-schema and the preceding row already gives that fix. Please identify this slug as currently unemitted so users do not search validation output for a code they can never receive.
| `invalid-schema-version` | Declare a recognised version (`1.1` or `1.2`) | [Details](./invalid-schema-version.md) |

docs/validation/model/schema-version-required.md:65

  • An unrecognised declared version is emitted as invalid-schema, not invalid-schema-version (ValidateSchemaVersion calls RaiseInvalidSchemaVersion, which tags InvalidSchema). This related-error link therefore directs readers to an unemitted slug instead of the error they will actually see.
- [`invalid-schema-version`](./invalid-schema-version.md) - When the declared version is not recognised

docs/validation/model/README.md:24

  • This row still assigns unrecognised versions to invalid-schema-version, but ValidateSchemaVersion emits invalid-schema for them and the linked page now says the same. Keeping this entry makes the error-code index contradict both the implementation and the updated invalid-schema row; mark this slug as currently unemitted (or remove it from the emitted-error table).
| `invalid-schema-version` | Schema | Unrecognised schema version | [invalid-schema-version.md](./invalid-schema-version.md) |

pkg/go/validation/validation_engine.go:57

  • ErrorOrNil drops the collection when all findings are warnings/advisories, so callers of this primary entry point receive nil and cannot recover those findings with errors.As. The new non-blocking classifications are therefore invisible unless callers bypass ValidateDSL and know to use ValidationEngine/CreateValidationReport. Return findings separately from validity (for example, a result plus error), or provide a result-returning companion API and make this limitation explicit.

This issue also appears on line 68 of the same file.

pkg/go/validation/errors.go:79

  • These fields are nonzero on every collector-produced finding, so omitempty does not preserve the old wire shape: JSON now gains both severity and category (and scoped metadata fields are also newly populated). This contradicts the PR description's breaking-change statement that the wire format is unchanged except for one message. Please update the compatibility/release notes to identify the additive wire change, or avoid emitting these fields if unchanged output is required.
	// Severity states whether this finding makes the model invalid. Findings that
	// do not block are reported without failing validation.
	Severity fgaerrors.Severity `json:"severity,omitempty"`

	// Category is the part of the model this finding is about.
	Category fgaerrors.ModelErrorKind `json:"category,omitempty"`

pkg/go/validation/errors.go:266

  • A collection containing only nil reports HasFindings() == true, and CountAll similarly counts the nil slot, even though Blocks and Unwrap explicitly define nil as not being a finding. This is reachable through the public constructor, Add(nil), or the exported Errors field and produces contradictory public totals. Filter nil entries consistently (ideally in the shared findings view) or reject them on insertion, and update the test that currently asserts the raw slice length.
// HasFindings reports whether anything at all was reported, blocking or not.
func (e *ValidationErrors) HasFindings() bool {
	return len(e.findings()) > 0

pkg/go/validation/multi_file_validation.go:165

  • Duplicate type names are represented last-wins in typeModuleMap, but this loop walks every declaration. If two document declarations use different modules, the last module receives document twice while the first receives none; the previous map-based implementation listed the logical type once. Deduplicate type names while preserving declaration order so GetModuleInfo remains accurate even when inspecting an invalid model.

284-291: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Protect the shared-table mutation against future parallel tests.

The test mutates the package-level errorInfoByType map and relies on Go holding parallel tests until sequential tests finish. That guarantee breaks as soon as someone adds t.Parallel to this test or moves the mutation into a subtest, and go test -race would then report a data race on the map. Consider a seam that avoids mutating package state, for example a helper that overrides one entry through an injected lookup.

The package guideline requires race detection in tests, so a latent shared-map write is worth removing.

As per coding guidelines: "Go package implementation must use race detection in tests via go test".

Consider failing on an unexpected error type in findingsFrom.

The helper returns an empty collection for any error that is not a *ValidationErrors. Tests that only compare counts, for example Lines 160-169 and Lines 198-202, then pass with zero findings and hide the unexpected error. A variant that takes *testing.T and calls require.ErrorAs for a non-nil error would keep those tests honest.

FindingsBySeverity does not sum to TotalFindings for findings without metadata.

The loop skips a finding when err.Metadata == nil, so its severity is never counted. TotalFindings uses CountAll(), which counts that finding. This contradicts the documentation at Line 170 and Line 181. Count severity before the metadata guard.

♻️ Proposed fix
 	for _, err := range errors {
-		if err == nil || err.Metadata == nil {
+		if err == nil {
+			continue
+		}
+
+		summary.FindingsBySeverity[err.Severity]++
+		if err.File != "" {

 			// Metadata is always set by the collector, but a directly-constructed
 			// error (e.g. in a consumer or test) could omit it; don't panic.

Derive the metadata from errorScope, not from the cause.

causeScope(cause) supplies Type, Relation, and Condition. When entry.Cause is nil, newScopedCause returns nil, causeScope returns three empty strings, and the scope passed by the raise site is discarded. lookupErrorInfo returns a nil Cause for any code that is absent from errorInfoByType, so a new Raise* method added without a table entry loses its scoped metadata without any error.

TestErrorInfoCoversEveryEmittedErrorType currently prevents that state. The coupling is still avoidable: read the metadata from errorScope and keep the cause for errors.As only. The values are identical today because newScopedCause copies the same scope fields.

♻️ Proposed refactor
 	cause := newScopedCause(category, errorScope, entry.Cause)
-	objectType, relation, condition := causeScope(cause)
+	// The scope is the single source for both the cause and the metadata, so a code
+	// with no sentinel still reports where the finding is.
+	objectType, relation, condition := scopeFields(category, errorScope)

Add a helper that mirrors the category switch in newScopedCause:

// scopeFields reports the scope fields the given category declares, so the
// metadata carries exactly what the matching error type would expose.
func scopeFields(category fgaerrors.ModelErrorKind, errorScope scope) (objectType, relation, condition string) {
	switch category {
	case fgaerrors.ErrorKindObjectType:
		return errorScope.objectType, "", ""

Fail instead of skipping a const spec with no explicit type.

Line 293 skips any ValueSpec whose Type is not an *ast.Ident. A spec that omits the type is skipped silently, so its constants never enter declared. TestAllErrorTypesIsComplete compares allErrorTypes against declared only, so a constant that this parser cannot see escapes every exhaustiveness check in this file, which is the failure mode these tests exist to catch.

Report the skipped spec instead of dropping it.

♻️ Proposed change
 			typeIdent, ok := valueSpec.Type.(*ast.Ident)
-			if !ok || typeIdent.Name != "ValidationErrorType" {

… cause

Each finding carries a severity, the part of the model it is about, and a
sentinel wrapped in a scoped error type, so callers match with errors.Is and
errors.As rather than on message text.

The shared corpora under tests/data are the contract this is checked against.
The runner compares the message exactly, along with the symbol, the error type
and both ends of the reported position, and pairs each expected error with a
distinct finding. Go now also reads json-validation-cases.yaml, which the JS
and Java validators already consume.

That runner found the multiple-modules-in-file rule reporting a file's modules
in wording of its own, in name order, and without the modules a relation
declares. It now collects them as the reference does and reports them in the
order the model declares them. Findings that took their order from ranging a
map are ordered too, so validating one model twice reports the same list.

A malformed condition name is scoped to the condition through
RaiseInvalidConditionName: metadata.condition carries the name, metadata.type
stays empty, and errors.As yields *ErrCondition.

Severity and ModelErrorKind serialise as their wire name through MarshalText
and UnmarshalText. A map key needs those methods specifically, since
encoding/json consults neither String nor MarshalJSON for a key, and
ValidationSummary.FindingsBySeverity is keyed by Severity.

BREAKING CHANGE: the validation entry points return error instead of
*ValidationErrors, and LineRange/ColumnRange are replaced by a single Range.
ErrorCollector.GetErrors is now AllFindings. RaiseInvalidRelationError no
longer takes validRelations, RaiseReservedRelationName takes the enclosing
type, and SemanticValidator.GetRelationNames is gone.
ValidateMultipleModulesInFile and ValidateBasicModelStructure take []FileInfo
in place of map[string]map[string]bool. The multiple-modules message text now
matches the other SDKs, and a file whose only extra module is declared by a
relation now fails validation.
