Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the CLI path that formats schema validation errors and check how pre-commit output is produced. Done means validation errors include line numbers that help locate problems in large JSON files, with coverage for the relevant output.

Description

enhancement help wanted

Please consider adding line numbers to the output when schema validation errors are detected.
It would be much easier to locate errors when running as a pre-commit hook, especially in big JSON files.
