Require Renderflow to prove that an output is structurally usable and policy-compliant before it is reported as a successful artifact.
Format support should mean a tested capability, not merely an enum variant or an external command that happened to exit zero.
Scope
Validation model
Define structured validation outcomes that can represent:
valid
valid with warnings
invalid
validator unavailable
validation skipped by explicit policy
Validation evidence should identify the validator implementation/version and preserve raw diagnostics safely where useful.
Fidelity/loss policy
Make transform loss characteristics enforceable:
lossless
partial loss
lossy
path-dependent
Allow specs/profiles to set minimum fidelity requirements or reject particular loss classes.
Capability conformance
Generate a machine-readable matrix for each declared format/capability/transform covering:
implemented executor
required provider/tool
fixture coverage
validator
supported platforms
deterministic status
loss profile
current support status
Do not advertise a capability as production-supported when its required fixture or validator evidence is absent.
Initial validation adapters
Use narrow, replaceable validators appropriate to each family. Evaluate existing/native parsers first and wrap external validators through #356/#359 where required. Examples may include structural probes for media, document/PDF, EPUB, images, archives, and HTML.
Do not make a specific third-party validator canonical without evaluating licensing, portability, maintenance, and failure semantics.
Acceptance criteria
Every terminal artifact has an explicit validation state in execution evidence.
A transform exiting successfully cannot produce a complete artifact when required validation fails.
Validators are capability/tool providers with versions and structured diagnostics.
Specs/profiles can require validation and reject configured loss classes.
Validation failure can be fatal or branch-local according to explicit execution policy.
The generated capability matrix distinguishes implemented, experimental, unavailable, and planned behavior.
Documentation and product-site capability claims can be derived from the conformance matrix.
Representative fixtures cover document, image, audio/video, archive, and structured-data validation.
Corrupt/truncated outputs are caught by tests even when the producing fake command exits zero.
Validation evidence participates in checkpoint/resume compatibility.
Formatting, Clippy, tests, docs, and CI pass.
Dependencies
Depends on #352 and #359; execution evidence should integrate with #355.
