CONVERT_002 — Convert Parse Failed

What This Means

The source content could not be parsed during conversion. The file exists but its contents are not valid for the expected format.

Common Causes

• Malformed source file with syntax errors
• YAML or JSON syntax errors (missing quotes, unclosed brackets, invalid indentation)
• File encoding issues (non-UTF-8 content)
• File is empty or contains only whitespace

How to Fix

1. Open the source file and check for syntax errors
2. For YAML files, validate with a YAML linter or online validator
3. For JSON files, validate with jq . < file.json or an online JSON validator
4. Ensure the file uses UTF-8 encoding

Example Output

Error CONVERT_002: failed to parse "rules/my-rule.yaml": yaml: line 5: mapping values are not allowed here
  Suggestion: check the source file for syntax errors
