Review comment (refactor):
nit: personally I'd prohibit positional args completely, they can be super confusing - and shouldn't be needed, we can extract variables before the call if we need to repeat them, instead of the reader being forced to count parameters... but if we do, I have a few suggestions

Code after:
#include <string_view> // IWYU pragma: export
#include <vector>

namespace util {
/**
 * @brief A wrapper for a compile-time partially validated format string
 *
 * This struct can be used to enforce partial compile-time validation of format
 * strings, to reduce the likelihood of tinyformat throwing exceptions at
 * run-time. Validation is partial to try and prevent the most common errors
 * while avoiding re-implementing the entire parsing logic.
 *
 * @note Counting of `*` dynamic width and precision fields (such as `%*c`,
 * `%2$*3$d`, `%.*f`) is not implemented to minimize code complexity as long as
 * they are not used in the codebase. Usage of these fields is not counted and
 * can lead to run-time exceptions. Code wanting to use the `*` specifier can
 * side-step this struct and call tinyformat directly.
