Add schema enforcement for user-modifiable data using Pydantic

Open AthreyVinay opened this issue 4 months ago • 2 comments

Some parts of the code loads user-modifiable JSON or config files directly using json.loads() without any schema validation. This can lead to runtime errors if files are empty, malformed, or missing required fields.

Suggestion: we might be better off to use some sort of data validation library (Im suggesting pydantic).

It would be nice to collect the individual cases, maybe as subissues. IIRC the initial culprit was the reboot request file, there surely may be more offenders.

Agree - there are a handful (5) of them currently.

Yep, I had included the link in the description.
