Follow up from T362108: Implement JSON schema validation in ArrayDef
validate() supports a third parameter that sounds like it would help with our use case. It's a bit field with flags than can be combined. Here are a few that sound useful:
Constraint::CHECK_MODE_TYPE_CAST Enable fuzzy type checking for associative arrays and objects
Constraint::CHECK_MODE_APPLY_DEFAULTS Apply default values from the schema if not set
**CHECK_MODE_TYPE_CAST is already implemented
| Subject | Repo | Branch | Lines +/- | |

| arrayDef: Apply default values from the schema if not set | mediawiki/core | master | +19 -1 |
It appears not to be possible to add multiple check modes to validator->validate()
Validating multiple times with different check modes also doesn't work since CHECK_MODE_APPLY_DEFAULTS requires the CHECK_MODE_TYPE_CAST to have been applied otherwise it brings the initial errors we were getting that required the check mode
Change #1050404 had a related patch set uploaded (by Atieno; author: Atieno):
