Summary

Butane's own test suite validated every <!-- butane-config --> block in its
docs. That check didn't come across when Butane merged into this repository, so
the YAML examples under butane/docs/ are currently unvalidated — a broken
example would ship unnoticed. I ran into this while adding examples in #2302 and
had to check those blocks by hand.

This restores the coverage through the existing docs validator.

Why not port Butane's shell loop

Butane's version drove csplit and head, and skipped itself when GNU
coreutils weren't present:

echo "skipping docs check because GNU csplit and head are unavailable"

That's a check that quietly does nothing on macOS, which is part of how the gap
went unnoticed. internal/util/tools/docs/docs.go already walks the docs for
<!-- ignition --> blocks, so this extends it instead: it now also recognizes
<!-- butane-config --> followed by a ```yaml fence and validates those with
butane/config.TranslateBytes, treating any report entry as fatal to match
`butane --check --strict`. Ignition sections are handled exactly as before.

./test gains a step that creates the --files-dir fixture the docs' local:
and contents_local: references need — the same fixture Butane's test built.

Testing

  • ./testSuccess, exit 0. The new step reports 76 Butane sections across
    6 files under butane/docs/, all valid, so this goes green without needing
    any documentation fixes.

  • ./ci/shellcheckNo error found with ShellCheck, exit 0

  • No change for Ignition docs: output of the tool over docs/ is
    byte-identical before and after this commit (10 and 19 sections, exit 0),
    diffed directly.

  • The check actually catches things. Three negative cases, each exit 1:

    injected problem result
    unused key nonsense_field non-empty translation report ... unused key nonsense_field
    duplicate path entries fatal error translating ...: config generated was invalid
    ```json fence after a Butane marker expecting '```yaml', found: ```json
    marker at EOF with no fence expecting '```yaml' after Butane marker, found end of file
    fence opened but never closed unterminated Butane config section
  • Running the validator over butane/docs without -files-dir fails, which
    confirms the fixture is doing real work rather than masking errors.

The last two cases come from @coderabbitai's review: findConfigSections used to
return success when a file ended mid-section, so an unterminated block was
dropped without being validated. That behaviour predates this change — the
original findJsonSections did the same — but it is exactly the silent-skip this
PR exists to remove, so it is fixed here rather than left for later.

Note: this adds to the same release-notes list as #2302, so whichever lands
first, I'll rebase the other.

Happy to reshape this — a separate tool rather than extending the existing one,
or a faithful port of the old shell loop — if you'd prefer either.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The documentation tool now validates Ignition and Butane configuration sections. Butane validation supports embedded files through --files-dir. The test script validates butane/docs with temporary fixtures and documents the coverage.

Changes

Butane documentation validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Typed configuration section discovery
internal/util/tools/docs/docs.go
The documentation tool recognizes Ignition and Butane markers, requires matching JSON or YAML fences, records each section’s configuration kind, and reports incomplete sections.
Configuration validation dispatch
internal/util/tools/docs/docs.go
The tool validates Ignition sections by parsing and Butane sections by translation. The --files-dir option resolves embedded files, and Butane report entries are treated as errors.
Butane documentation test integration
test, docs/release-notes.md
./test validates butane/docs with temporary fixture files and removes both temporary directories on exit. The release notes record this coverage.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b70c8

The change is mergeable, but successful test runs can leave behind a temporary fixture directory because cleanup handling is replaced later in the script; this is a bounded maintenance issue with no production impact and should be fixed or tracked.

Butane's own test suite validated every <!-- butane-config --> block in
its docs.  That check did not come across when Butane merged into this
repository, so the YAML examples under butane/docs are unvalidated and a
broken one would go unnoticed.

Teach the docs validator to recognize Butane sections and translate them
with butane/config, matching butane --check --strict.  Butane's original
loop drove csplit and head and skipped itself entirely when GNU
coreutils were missing; going through the existing Go tool means the
check always runs.

Add the files-dir fixture that the local file references in the docs
need, mirroring the one Butane's test created.

116-116: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve cleanup for both temporary directories.

When the script reaches line 116, the new EXIT trap replaces the trap from line 83. The final trap removes tmpdir but leaves butane_files_dir behind. Include both directories in the final trap.

Proposed fix
-trap 'rm -rf "${tmpdir}"' EXIT
+trap 'rm -rf "${butane_files_dir}" "${tmpdir}"' EXIT
