Before this change, querying validation results required knowing the exact path to a specific result node—including numeric indices for array elements (e.g., `items.1.email`). This made it impractical to locate the first failing result in dynamic collections where the failing index is not known ahead of time. Wildcard segments (`*`) allow matching any single path component, so patterns like `items.*`, `*.email`, or `data.*.value` will traverse the result tree and return the first node whose path matches. This is particularly valuable when validating arrays of items with `each()`, because consumers can now ask "give me the first failure under items" without iterating manually. The implementation replaces the previous flat `array_find` lookup with a recursive depth-first traversal that, when a wildcard is present, compares each node's full path against the pattern using segment-level matching. Non-wildcard lookups continue to use exact array equality, so there is no behavioral change for existing callers. Assisted-by: Claude Code (claude-opus-4-6) |
