Validation and Errors

Arcane validates config and JSON files before runtime.

Run Validation

arcane validate
arcane validate --strict

What Is Validated

• arcane.config.js exists and loads
• commands/**/*.json against command schema
• events/**/*.json against event schema
• packages/**/*.json against package schema

Common Failures

• Invalid command name pattern (must be lowercase slug)
• Missing required fields (name, description, event)
• Type mismatch (string vs number/boolean)

Debug Workflow

1. Run arcane validate.
2. Fix first reported file.
3. Re-run until clean.
4. Use --strict in CI.
