The validation message inaccurately represents the expiration date.
Describe the bug
While validating a GTFS feed, I received the following message:
feedEndDate: 20250712, suggestedExpirationDate: 20250712
This message is confusing because the suggestedExpirationDate is the same as the feedEndDate, which might imply that the feed is expiring exactly when it ends — but no further action or recommendation is provided. It's unclear whether this is intended or if the feed should include more future service dates.
Steps/Code to Reproduce
Validate a GTFS feed prepared for a 30-day service period.
Expected Results
If the dates are the same and no issue is present, the validator should not flag this message as a warning or should clarify that the feed is valid until its last service date.
