Validation

Run validation locally:

grove validate            # check schemas, slugs, taxonomy
grove validate --strict   # also fail on warnings

The validate-data.yml workflow runs the same command on every pull request. Failed validation blocks merge.

What it checks:

• Each record file parses as YAML and matches the blueprint’s Zod schema
• kind matches the space’s blueprint (project for project-directory)
• Slugs are unique across the directory
• Required fields are present (kind, slug, name, description)
• Enum values are valid (projectType, category, etc.)
• Cross-record references resolve (if a record points at another by slug)

Errors point at the file and field. Fix and re-run.
