Description

Our regular expression for test paths is a bit too permissive, and allows paths like these: `kselftest..arm64_syscall-abi_sched_yield_SME_VL_256_SM_ZA`. Tighten the regex in the next major schema release to require other characters between dots.

Research direction

Start by locating the regular expression that validates test paths and the schema-release handling around it. Check how dot-separated path components are validated, then verify that the example containing consecutive dots is rejected while valid paths remain accepted in the next major schema release.
