fission-ai__openspec/openspec/changes/make-validation-scope-aware/tasks.md

1. Validator changes

• 1.1 Change validateChangeDeltaSpecs to only emit "Change must have at least one delta" when specs/ exists and contains at least one */spec.md but parsed total deltas is 0
• 1.2 Return valid (no error) when specs/ directory is missing or has no spec.md files

2. CLI changes

• 2.1 In bulk validation, keep current behavior (call delta validator). Behavior remains correct after 1.1
• 2.2 Add a short INFO log in human-readable mode when a change has no specs/ (optional)

3. Documentation

• 3.1 Update README and template: "Validation checks only existing artifacts. Proposal-only changes are valid without spec deltas."

4. Tests

• 4.1 Add test: proposal-only change passes validation without deltas
• 4.2 Add test: specs present but zero parsed deltas → ERROR
• 4.3 Add test: specs present with proper deltas → valid
