Package Validate

Definitions

1. To verify that a package meets expected requirements for structure, metadata, compatibility, or policy compliance before publication or installation. In release tooling culture, validation is how ecosystems prevent obvious broken artifacts from spreading.

   In plain English: To check that a package is valid and meets expected requirements.

   Example: "The pipeline was updated to package-validate artifacts automatically so malformed metadata would be caught before users ever saw the release."
