one of the examples given in help of zed validate doesn't work

[miparnisari]

 ~ $ zed version
client: zed v0.27.0
5:08PM WRN not calling a released version of SpiceDB version=v1.42.1+enterprise.devel.(devel)
service: v1.42.1+enterprise.devel.(devel)

~ $ zed validate --help
Validates the given validation file (.yaml, .zaml) or schema file (.zed)

Usage:
  zed validate <validation_file_or_schema_file> [flags]

Examples:

	...

	From a playground link:
		zed validate https://play.authzed.com/s/iksdFvCtvnkR/schema



...

~ $ zed validate https://play.authzed.com/s/iksdFvCtvnkR/schema
5:06PM ERR terminated with errors error="unexpected value `organiz`"

The schema shown in https://play.authzed.com/s/iksdFvCtvnkR/schema looks valid to me.

I went digging on this, and the issue is in the parsing of the expected relations. I'm trying to figure out where and how it's actually falling over.

[tstirrat15]

It enters this block: https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/blob/58da8dc2ee3c1486c6dc44ba242161f9c685c781/pkg/validationfile/blocks/expectedrelations.go#L28-L36

But never exits that block, and the actual error is:

yaml: unmarshal errors:
  line 65: cannot unmarshal !!str `organiz...` into blocks.ValidationMap

Which is what comes out as the observed error. My sense is that this is an issue with how we're trying to use yaml.v3 to do the parsing, and it not liking a struct of structs. I'm wondering whether this ever worked, and if so when it broke, because I don't think we've changed that code recently.

But then there's this test which seems to be passing: https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/blob/58da8dc2ee3c1486c6dc44ba242161f9c685c781/pkg/validationfile/fileformat_test.go#L68-L73

And SpiceDB and zed are on the same version of yaml.v3...
