Many of the validators in Smithy and Smithy Diff today emit events for various reasons. A single validator might event different events with different severities, and there is currently no way to suppress just one specific type of event for a given validator. For example, the ChangedNullability SmithyDiff validator emits events for various reasons, some of which different tools may choose to suppress. However, without inspecting the message of the event, there's no way to know what you're suppressing.
To give existing validators the ability to emit more granular validation events without breaking current validators, this change introduces event ID hierarchies and hierarchical suppression IDs using dots (.). For example, ChangedNullability.RemovedRequiredTrait is now emitted, and tools can check for "ChangedNullability" to match all events, or more granularly only match "ChangedNullability.RemovedRequiredTrait". This can also be used in suppressions so that existing Smithy validators can be updated to emit more granular events.
