[Bug]: JSONMissingBlock error not reported

[NathanPJF]

Please confirm that you have:

• Reproduced the issue in the latest CLI version.

In which of these areas are you experiencing a problem?

Theme

Expected behavior

If I change the nested blocks in a private, static block, and one of the block types is not allowed, I should see a JSONMissingBlock warning / error.

Running shopify theme check should include the problematic template

Example from https://github.com/Shopify/horizon/pull/5153

/* templates.404.json */

"static-product-card": {
    "type": "_product-card",
    "name": "t:names.product_card",
    "static": true,
    "settings": {},
    "blocks": {
      "group_BG77MP": {
        "type": "group", /* <-- not an allowed block type */
        "name": "t:names.group",
        "settings": {}
      }
}

Actual behavior

I'm not getting any warning or report from Theme Check on CI or running shopify theme check

However, the VS code extension does correctly tell me about the error

Verbose output

Text ouput too large so I've compressed the txt file.

Reproduction steps

Shopify employees

1. Go to https://github.com/Shopify/horizon/pull/51532 and checkout the branch locally. Run shopify theme check
2. See that the CI run ci.yml runs shopify/theme-check-action@v2, and there is no mention of this error in the report

General reproduction steps:

1. Create a private block, and specify what blocks it can take

Example: blocks/_product-card.liquid

{% schema %}
{
  "name": "t:names.product_card",
  "blocks": [
    {
      "type": "_product-card-group"
    },
  ],
  "settings": [...],

2. Include it as a static block in a template file, like 404.json

 {
  "sections": {
    "product_list": {
      "type": "product-list",
      "blocks": {
        "static-product-card": {
          "type": "_product-card",
          "name": "t:names.product_card",
          "static": true,
          "settings": {},
          "blocks": {
            "product_card_group": {
              "type": "group",
              "name": "t:names.group",
              "settings": {},
            },
          "block_order": [
            "product_card_group"
          ]
        }
      },
    }
  },
  "order": [
    "product_list",
  ]
}

We're gong to have a CLI minor release on Monday, which will resolve this issue.

To help prevent it from happening again, we've improved the Shopify/theme-tools release process to include a CLI patch release, so the Shopify CLI and theme-tools will stay in sync moving forward.

Thank you for reporting this, @NathanPJF!
