This MR contains the following updates: | Package | Update | Change | |---|---|---| | [errata-ai/vale](https://github.com/errata-ai/vale) | minor | `v3.17.1` → `v3.18.0` | MR created with the help of [el-capitano/tools/renovate-bot](https://gitlab.com/el-capitano/tools/renovate-bot). **Proposed changes to behavior should be submitted there as MRs.** --- ### Release Notes <details> <summary>errata-ai/vale (errata-ai/vale)</summary> ### [`v3.18.0`](https://github.com/vale-cli/vale/releases/tag/v3.18.0) [Compare Source](vale-cli/vale@v3.17.1...v3.18.0) v3.18.0 is the largest expansion of Vale's format support since v3.0.0. [MDX](https://docs.vale.sh/formats/mdx) is now parsed natively — `mdx2vast` is no longer required. This release also adds support for four new markup formats: [Typst](https://docs.vale.sh/formats/typst) (through the new [`typst2vast`](https://github.com/jdkato/typst2vast) program), [Quarto](https://docs.vale.sh/formats/quarto), [MyST](https://docs.vale.sh/formats/myst), and [QDoc](https://docs.vale.sh/formats/qdoc). R Markdown now works out of the box, and comment extraction now covers Lua, PHP, Haskell, R, Perl, and SCSS. Beyond formats, there's a new `meta` [scope](https://docs.vale.sh/topics/scopes) for a document's machine-readable content, a `--plain-progress` flag, and per-package logging for `vale sync` in CI — plus a long list of fixes that make alert positions and scoping more accurate across every format. > ✨ Sponsor Spotlight > > Special thanks to [Promptless](https://vale.sh/sponsors/promptless) — Vale's newest sponsor and the latest to receive a [Spotlight page](https://vale.sh/sponsors/promptless).

What's broken
When more than one config section matches a file, the resolved
LangandTransformare picked at random, and can differ between two files in the same run.With
[*] Lang = enand[*.md] Lang = ja, callingNewFileon the same.mdpath 200 times gaveen169 times andja31 times. Linting 40 identical.mdfiles in one invocation sentenfor 36 of them andjafor 6.Why
Both loops in
NewFilerange over a map, and Go randomises map iteration, sobreakon the first match picks an arbitrary winner per call.Langis not cosmetic here:internal/nlp/prose.gosends it into the POS-tagging request, andinternal/nlp/provider.gobranches onLang != "en"to decide whether to bypass the English-only segmenter.The fix
The same function already solves this twenty lines above, for styles and rule levels, by walking
config.RuleKeysin written order so a later section wins. That loop carries the comment referring to #965. These two loops now do the same, using the compiled patterns already inconfig.SecToPatinstead of recompiling a glob for every file.Two details worth calling out:
[*]is set throughglobalOptsand deliberately excluded fromRuleKeysandSecToPat, so the global value is seeded before the loop and any matching section overrides it.This changes the semantics from first-match-in-random-order to last-match-in-written-order. That is the point: it makes the behaviour match what the rule loop already documents, and the old order was never well defined.
Verification
internal/core/file_test.gocovers a path matched by several sections, asserting the last one wins, plus the[*]fallback. It passes 20 out of 20 with-count=20. With the change reverted it fails on all 20, reportingexpected Lang "it" ... got "en".go test ./internal/...is green, including the e2e package.
