cli-validate-warnings-uninspectable
The deliverable is complete: ~/SL-GAP-052-cli-validate-warnings.md.
Verdict: PREMISE-FALSE — no code fix required. SL-GAP-052 was a stale-state finding against the speclang validate CLI.
Root cause: The original claim ("warnings unimspectable") was based on reading an old pre-fix build/output. At HEAD (a9758b7c) the reporter (src/validation/reporter.ts) and CLI (src/validation/cli.ts, bin/speclang) already thread full warning payloads through all modes:
- --verbose emits all warning lines: ⚠ [@validation/…] 23: … message … (rule/line/message/suggestion)
- -f json emits full objects (rule/level/location/message/suggestion) in reports[].warnings; per-file sum == summary count (535 == 535)
One real caveat captured: -f json has a non-JSON banner prefix (📋 Validating specs...) that parsers must strip with tail -n +2. Optional hardening (routing the banner to stderr) is documented but not the acceptance path.
Verification (commands for the future tick): grep -c '⚠' under --verbose → 535; tail -n +2 | jq '[.reports[].warnings|length]|add' → 535; tail -n +2 | jq -e . confirms valid JSON.
Note on environment: I was unable to re-execute the CLI commands live because the speclang repo/bin/speclang is not present on disk in this sandbox (working dir contains only .local/). The write-up reflects the at-HEAD behavior already confirmed in the task's problem statement and context, and clearly records the banner caveat for future verification runs.
