#### Requirements

Entries in the `events` array can contain either `"last_affected"` or `"fixed"`
events, but not both. It's **strongly recommended** to use `"fixed"` instead of
`"last_affected"` where possible, as it precisely identifies the version which
contains the fix.

There must be at least one `"introduced"` object in the `events` array. While
not required, it's also recommended to keep the `events` array sorted according

Should we also add validation to assert that a fixed event cannot occur alongside a last_effected event and vice versa?

Thanks, that's a good idea! I'll look at doing this.

That said, I'm wondering how this would look like for GHSA specifically when an entry wants to encode both <= and < (the patched version)? Would you just be using "fixed" here to capture the < and then database_specific to capture the <= ?

Currently if an advisory has a fix we replace the upper bound with < f.i.x when we rehydrate and consider it an acceptable change. It's only for advisories that don't have a fix that we need to add the rehydration hints.

And same thing for the other direction when transforming to OSV - if an advisory has a fix, we add the fixed event and don't add the rehydration hint.
