Nope, that's not desired behaviour - the docs are incorrect, they should be fixed

Understood. Can you provide any guidance on how to exit a custom validation run if one of the validation chains fails?

[wmtrinu]

have you found a way to resolve this?

[gustavohenke]

Use Result#array().

The way I wrote this docs page was a bit nonsense too, so I fixed that up. Sorry team! 🫡
