Operational effect
Why it matters
The file may be ignored, or its name may hide data that should have been read.

Repair
How to fix it
- 1
Check the exact filename, extension, spelling, and purpose.
- 2
Rename a misnamed GTFS file correctly. Remove unrelated export artifacts when unnecessary; retain intentional extensions only with appropriate consumer support.
- 3Check the result
After a repair, rebuild the archive and validate it again. Confirm that the affected records are correct and that no new related notices appeared. A reviewed warning or informational notice may remain when it describes intentional, supported data.
