fest markers validate

Validate marker JSON against template

Synopsis

Validate a marker JSON or YAML file against a template to detect issues.

This command checks for:

  • Missing required markers (present in template but not in file)
  • Empty marker values
  • Unknown markers (possible typos)

In strict mode (--strict), unknown markers cause validation to fail.

Examples:

  # Validate against built-in template
  fest markers validate --file markers.json --template task-simple

  # Validate against existing file
  fest markers validate --file markers.json --source PHASE_GOAL.md

  # Strict mode - fail on unknown markers
  fest markers validate --file markers.json --template task --strict
