The validation message inaccurately represents the expiration date. #2038

Describe the bug

While validating a GTFS feed, I received the following message:
feedEndDate: 20250712, suggestedExpirationDate: 20250712

This message is confusing because the suggestedExpirationDate is the same as the feedEndDate, which might imply that the feed is expiring exactly when it ends — but no further action or recommendation is provided. It's unclear whether this is intended or if the feed should include more future service dates.

Steps/Code to Reproduce

Validate a GTFS feed prepared for a 30-day service period.

Expected Results

If the dates are the same and no issue is present, the validator should not flag this message as a warning or should clarify that the feed is valid until its last service date.
