validate should support consistent query-style output shaping #3010

Description

@Widthdom

Found while dogfooding the locally built cdidx.

Evidence

Unlike search, validate does not support the same output-shaping controls (--limit, JSON array format variants, or focused filtering). This made it harder to use in the same audit loop as other query commands.

Expected

Bring validate closer to query-command output conventions, including limit/top support and predictable machine-readable result shaping.
