Description
**What got flagged?**
"
**Why is this incorrect?**
" (Why the dist-tag can't be latest. The final dist-tag always starts with dev-. Suffix validation rejects anything outside [A-Za-z0-9-]. Even suffix="" produces dev-, not latest) marked as formatting problem. (First ".)
The final dist-tag cannot be "latest" because it is designed to always start with "dev-", and any suffix validation restricts it to alphanumeric characters and hyphens. Therefore, even an empty suffix results in "dev-" instead of "latest."
**Example of correct usage:**
No formatting problems.
Contributor guide
Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the reported formatting warning for the quoted dist-tag explanation, then trace which rule classifies the text and add a regression test if the project’s existing tests show where such cases belong. Done means the example produces no formatting problem while other invalid formatting remains detectable.
