Connect the roles in Validate, Test, and Review Infrastructure CodeKeep formatting check, static validation, plan inspection, and automated assertion as separate service roles.
Connect the roles in Validate, Test, and Review Infrastructure CodeA topic-specific model connects four distinct roles used to reason about validate, test, and review infrastructure code.
Terminal commandCommand normalizes configuration source layout
Validation testTest checks syntax references and structure
Output evidenceEvidence reveals proposed infrastructure actions
Verification testTest checks the module output contract
Verify Peer approvalConnect peer approval with its topic-specific inspection, expected outcome, and protected delivery boundary.
