There's the withRequest() method, but I don't understand how it's useful. It sets the data directly from the raw input. It's not parsed. How's that going to work? It doesn't. I'd like to be able to set the validation data manually, so I can pass the data that I parsed from the raw input.

You can. It is implicitly mentioned in the documentation:
Library Reference » Validation

Quote:$validation->run($data, 'signup');

Also it is worth looking at the run() method's phpdoc:

PHP Code:
    /**
     * Runs the validation process, returning true/false determining whether
     * validation was successful or not.
     *
     * @param array  $data    The array of data to validate.
     * @param string $group   The pre-defined group of rules to apply.
     * @param string $dbGroup The database group to use.
     *
     * @return boolean
     */
    public function run(array $data = null, string $group = null, string $dbGroup = null): bool 

As of the rest of your complaints: CI4 is not a complete rewrite of CI3, and as such it has lots of legacy code, so I understand that you find room to improve. With that being said, it is an open source and free software, and everyone is welcome to contribute to it. Better together!
