Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The formatter can still produce misleading output for nested unions and tuple-indexed fields, while alias-suggestion tests may fail on an older supported Pydantic version. Because the PR also changes the default exception-hook behavior without verifying traceback delegation, merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance of these bounded risks.

Generally LGTM.
I added one commit which should adress proper respecting of the setup_logging() fields in respect to the validation errors and rich usage.
And I added one comment proposed by AI which you can evaluate if it makes sense
…onis-ml into feat/nicer-validation-errors
`validate_by_alias=False` makes an alias an invalid key. The formatter read `populate_by_name` alone, so it offered such an alias as a fix, and it hid the field name that the model does accept. Read `validate_by_alias` and `validate_by_name`, and keep `populate_by_name` as a fallback for pydantic before 2.11.

A location such as `pair[1]` resolved against the first argument of the annotation. For `tuple[int, Resize]`, element 1 thus resolved against `int`, and the formatter lost the field names of `Resize`. Pass the index down, and select the argument at that position. A homogeneous sequence and a `tuple[T, ...]` keep the first argument.

A union of two models reported one problem per member, each with the member tag removed from the location. The reader saw sibling fields of one object, and the problems contradicted each other: one field was required, another was unexpected, and both named the same value. Group such failures at the union, and phrase them as one problem. The message lists one line per alternative, with the reason and the suggestion of each. A member that failed on its own type keeps the short form, so a wrong outer type still reads as one line.

The excepthook test passed no traceback, and checked only that the previous hook ran. It now passes the traceback of the error, and asserts that the hook delegates the exact type, error and traceback. The augmentation test checked only the suggestion. A wrong model with a `params` field would produce the same suggestion, so the test now also names the model that pydantic reports.

pydoctor reads a single backtick as a link. The module named `ValidationError`, `sys.excepthook`, `rich` and two pydantic classes that way, and none of them resolves. The docs job builds with `warnings-as-errors`, so it failed with exit code 3. Use double backticks for the names that live outside this package.

LGTM.
I added two fixes that were reported by AI review. After testing these fixes produced better results so I decided to keep them

Restore only when the Luxonis hook is still the activesys.excepthook, which the current code already guarantees at Line 278, but the restored value then also replaces any hook chained on top throughprevious.

Purpose
Pydantic's default
ValidationErroris accurate but hard to read: it repeatsthe raw error type, truncated input value, and documentation URL for every
problem, and reports a failed union once per member. It also cannot tell someone
which field they probably meant when a configuration key is misspelled.
This PR makes those errors easier to act on. A misspelled key in a training
configuration or NN Archive can now say
did you mean 'preprocessing'?whileretaining the original traceback.
Specification
Adds
luxonis_ml.utils.validation, which converts aValidationErrorinto ashort list of problems and renders it as plain text or a Rich panel.
A key is misspelled — names the key the user meant, and uses `model.inputs[0]` rather than pydantic's `model.inputs.0`
Before:
After:
Several things are wrong at once — no `[type=...]`, no `input_type=`, no per-error docs URL
Before:
After:
A value matches none of the allowed types — four pydantic errors for one mistake, collapsed into one
Before:
After:
A mistake is nested inside a list — suggestions work through indices, mapping keys and union members

record_validated_modelpreserves the model at validation boundaries used byLuxonisConfig, dataset and parser input, NN Archive generation andinspection, and augmentation configuration.
setup_logging(pretty_validation_errors=True)installs an exception hook thatprints the summary below the original traceback.
ValidationProblem,format_validation_error, andrender_validation_errorare exported fromluxonis_ml.utils. Lower-levelhelpers remain in
luxonis_ml.utils.validation.Dependencies & Potential Impact
No dependencies were added; Pydantic and Rich are already required.
setup_loggingnow installs asys.excepthookby default. It calls thepreviously installed hook first, so the traceback and crash reporters still see
the original exception, and repeated installation is a no-op. Set
LUXONISML_DISABLE_PRETTY_VALIDATION_ERRORS=1to disable the behavior for aprocess, or pass
pretty_validation_errors=Falsetosetup_logging.The validation boundaries re-raise the same
ValidationErrorafter recordingits model. Existing exception behavior and APIs are otherwise unchanged; the
new formatter APIs are additive.
Deployment Plan
No separate rollout is required. The change ships with the next library
release, and downstream projects receive it when they upgrade.
