errors attached to their location
The control reports in particular the malformed JSON, unsupported configurations and invalid team matches. Each problem indicates the affected JSON file and path. Administered settings, matches, and their team files are examined.
Check after correction
GitHub asks to correct the file, save the change to the default branch of the repository provided for these settings, then reload the Agents page and re-read the validator result. Consult theofficial announcement for the exact path and associated documentation.
Make validation a project step
A useful method is to keep an example of the expected configuration, a trace of the corrected errors and a validation manager. A syntactic check should not replace the trial of a real task with the persons concerned. The Evaluation Guide to an AI Tool Complete this step with test cases and a recovery procedure. This method is an editorial proposition, not a function announced by GitHub.
