Validation

Use the smallest command that matches the surface you changed.

Core Checks

npm ci
make check
npm run docs:build

make check validates index.json, confirms core repository files exist, and type-checks the MCP server.

Management Contract Checks

npm run validate:index
npm run test:index

Run these after changing index.json, schemas/index.schema.json, content boundaries, registries, lifecycle rules, or interface policy.

MCP And Slack Checks

npm run mcp:check
npm run mcp:test
npm run mcp:smoke
npm run slack:policy:check

Run these after changing mcp/, Slack access policy, repository loading, resource names, search behavior, or runtime startup.

Workspace Metadata Checks

npm run validate:workspaces
npm run test:workspaces

Run these after changing workspace records, schemas, validation rules, enums, dates, references, or suspicious secret-like key checks.

Docs Checks

npm run docs:check
npm run docs:build
npm run docs:preview

The docs build should emit the VitePress site and LLM-friendly output. Preview the built site when changing navigation, sidebar structure, theme styles, or site copy.
