some files were not validated

Error message

some files were not validated

What it means

Aggregated failure from the changelog validation xtask: while validating every changelog entry file, at least one file failed JSON parsing or ChangelogEntry::from_value extraction; all individual errors were collected (with their file path context) and this error is returned with the section reports so every problem is shown at once.

Solutions

1. Fix each reported changelog file so it parses as valid JSON and satisfies the ChangelogEntry schema
2. Re-run the changelog xtask until no validation errors remain
3. Check recently added/edited files under the changelog directory against an existing valid entry

When it happens

Trigger: Thrown at xtask/src/changelog.rs:572 when the library encounters an invalid state.
