Have the validator script save schemas merged, not unmerged

[IanCa]

to prevent an issue where it was saved with a with_standard schema that has since changed

[VisLab]

Since the validator already saves the .xml merged, I think this PR should be titled "save unmerged"?
I am not convinced that this should be done. Here is my reasoning:

A schema cannot be released if it is partnered with an unreleased schema. In general, except for testlib -- which we can change arbitrarily and is not guaranteed to be stable, prereleases of other library schemas should partner only with rereleased standard schema.

If a prerelease of a library schema needs to partner with an unreleased standard schema (which should happen rarely and only if there are some new anchor points that need to be added to the standard schema) then the administrators need to make sure that the library.xml is updated.

@IanCa please respond so we have a record of what is decided.

I apologize for the unclear log messageThis is simply for internal validation code and not saved anywhere permanently.   There were no changes done to what version is saved out to the prerelease folder.On Jul 27, 2024, at 9:13 AM, Kay Robbins ***@***.***> wrote: Since the validator already saves the .xml merged, I think this PR should be titled "save unmerged"?
