Vale locates a frontmatter description by matching the parsed YAML value back against the source text, so any scalar whose value is not spelled out verbatim loses the `text.frontmatter.description` scope entirely. The wrapper only flattened `>` folded scalars, so plain, double-quoted and single-quoted multi-line descriptions silently reported zero alerts and exit 0 — a clean pass indistinguishable from a real one, in a prefilter whose callers are instructed not to re-derive its verdict by judgment. Implementation notes: - Classify the scalar kind after `^description:[ \t]*` and reuse one shared continuation-line generator for every form; `|` literal blocks keep their line breaks, stay verbatim-matchable, and are still left untouched. - Emit the flattened value in whichever scalar form needs no escape at all (plain, then single-quoted, then double-quoted), because any escape breaks the verbatim match. The old blanket `'` -> U+2019 substitution silently made apostrophe-bearing rule tokens unmatchable across 63% of the corpus; it now survives only for the one combination no YAML scalar can carry verbatim. - Terminate continuations at a line flush with the key, not only on a shallower indent — a `description:` followed by a flush-left line previously swallowed the rest of the frontmatter. - Route vale's value-taking flags explicitly instead of inferring targets by file existence, and absolutize relative `--output`/`--path` values the way `--config` already was, since the run `cd`s into the scratch mirror. - Fail loudly on a nonexistent path instead of inheriting bare vale's fallback to stdin, which rendered a typo'd path as `0 errors ... in stdin`, exit 0 — a form the callers' `0 files` NOT-RUN guard cannot match. - Follow symlinks when walking a directory argument, matching bare vale.
