Adds opt-in budgets for schema compilation and validation, covering traversal depth, compiled nodes, cumulative work, regular expressions, and diagnostics. Compiled schemas retain the policy, and context-aware validation supports cancellation.

Limits.OnLimit lets callers observe threshold crossings before enabling enforcement. Returning nil continues processing with complete results; returning an error enforces the threshold. Ordinary validation failures remain errors. A nil limits policy preserves existing behavior.

Includes usage documentation and regression coverage for cancellation, policy callbacks, diagnostics, and concurrent validation. The full race suite and copylocks vet pass.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds configurable resource limits for schema compilation and validation. Budgets account for traversal, regular expressions, numeric processing, and diagnostic construction. Context-aware validation supports cancellation, and limit callbacks control reporting or enforcement. Tests and README documentation cover these APIs and behaviors.

Changes

Resource limits

Layer / File(s) Summary
Limits and budget engine
limits.go
Adds Limits, ResourceLimitError, and operation-scoped accounting for work, traversal, regexes, numbers, and diagnostics.
Compilation budget propagation
compiler.go, resource.go, extension.go, limits_test.go
Passes budgets through compilation, reference resolution, and extension contexts. Compilation accounts for resource scans, schema work, regexes, and numeric parsing. Tests cover limits, cancellation, and reference resolution.
Validation and bounded diagnostics
schema.go, errors.go, validation_context.go, errors_limits_test.go, limits_test.go
Adds context-aware validation and budget-aware checks. Diagnostic construction and rendering use bounded pointer, depth, node, and output processing. Tests cover error details, pointer escaping, and bounded rendering.
Policy documentation and coverage
README.md, limits_policy_test.go, .github/workflows/test.yml
Documents limit configuration, callback behavior, cancellation, and extension responsibilities. Tests cover policy callbacks, snapshots, and concurrent validation. The linter workflow skips Go installation.

Long non-ASCII values can produce malformed diagnostic text, and nested extension compilation may continue after its child context is canceled. These issues warrant correction or explicit acceptance before merging.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Truncate on a rune boundary.

value[:256] cuts at a byte index. If the 256-byte prefix ends inside a multi-byte rune, the message contains an invalid UTF-8 sequence. Schema property names and instance strings are frequently non-ASCII, so this is reachable with ordinary input.

🐛 Proposed rune-safe truncation
 func (b *budget) detail(value string) string {
 	if b != nil && b.limits != nil && len(value) > 256 && b.displayLimit("diagnostic detail") {
-		return value[:256] + "..."
+		cut := 256
+		for cut > 0 && !utf8.RuneStart(value[cut]) {
+			cut--
+		}
+		return value[:cut] + "..."
 	}
 	return value
 }

Add the import:

 	"strconv"
 	"strings"
+	"unicode/utf8"

Validation recompiled every pattern to look up its matching cost, because
each operation starts with an empty regex cache. Compiled schemas now keep
the cost of each pattern, so validating against them no longer parses and
compiles the regex again, and no longer reports the compile-time regex
instruction limit a second time.

The display caps for enum messages and object or array diagnostic values
invoked OnLimit even when nothing exceeded a limit, so a report-only policy
logged a finding for every schema with an enum. displayLimit now takes the
measured size and its threshold and consults the policy only when the
threshold is exceeded.

Comment thread limits.go
hperl and others added 2 commits October 6, 2026 10:23
Compile resolved every $id against its base URL without charging the
work budget, and rebuilt the $id map for every non-pointer $ref. A
schema with many identifiers and references took seconds to compile
without reaching a limit. Resolution now charges the base and
identifier lengths, and each operation builds the $id map once per
resource.

uniqueItems panicked on numbers outside the big.Float range, which the
meta-schemas reach during Compile through required, type, and enum.
Such numbers now compare by their literal text in uniqueItems and in
equality checks, and Compile returns InvalidJSONTypeError as an error
instead of panicking.

A zero-value ValidationContext validates without limits instead of
dereferencing a nil budget.

…out the limit policy

Validation walked the whole instance before validating it, so a value the
schema does not describe could exceed the depth and work budgets although the
validator never needed to visit it. Validation now charges only for the
values it visits, so an instance nested deeper than its schema fails as an
ordinary validation error or is accepted by an open schema.

ResourceLimitError gains a Validation field that is true for limits reached
while validating an instance, so callers can tell a limit the instance
exceeded from one the schema exceeded.

Diagnostic display bounds no longer invoke OnLimit. Error messages are bounded
silently at limits sized well above real schemas, and an oversized enum is
truncated instead of being replaced by "enum failed".

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use the active context for nested compilation budget checks.

CompilerContext.Compile checks c.Err() only before compilation. It then uses the shared budget, whose checks use the outer context. If c is canceled or reaches its deadline during compilation, budget checks can miss it. When the nested call first reports a limit kind, OnLimit receives the outer context and cannot see values or a deadline added by c. Keep the shared counters, but use the active context for budget checks and callbacks.
