# Validation Guide

## Validate one or more manifests

```bash
python scripts/validate.py path/to/vibproject.ygit
python scripts/validate.py first.ygit second.ygit
```

## Validate the repository

```bash
python scripts/validate.py --all
```

This checks:

- Every file under `examples/` must pass.
- Every file under `test/valid/` must pass.
- Every file under `test/invalid/` must fail.

## Run regression tests

```bash
python -m unittest discover -s test -p "test_*.py"
```

## Exit codes

- `0`: all requested validation checks passed.
- `1`: one or more manifests produced an unexpected result.
- `2`: schema loading or command configuration failed.

## Common errors

An error includes the exact JSON path and the failed constraint. Correct the manifest rather than disabling validation.
