json_path_equals

Query a structured document with a JSONPath expression and assert every match deep-equals the supplied value.

- id: require-mit-license
  kind: json_path_equals
  paths: "packages/*/package.json"
  path: "$.license"
  equals: "MIT"
  level: error

- id: workflow-contents-read
  kind: yaml_path_equals
  paths: ".github/workflows/*.yml"
  path: "$.permissions.contents"
  equals: "read"
  level: error

- id: rust-edition-2024
  kind: toml_path_equals
  paths: "crates/*/Cargo.toml"
  path: "$.package.edition"
  equals: "2024"
  level: warning

Semantics:

• Multiple matches — every match must equal the expected value.
• Zero matches — counts as a violation (the key the rule is enforcing doesn’t exist).
• Unparseable files — one violation per file (not silently skipped).
