project-validation

Project validation checks that your Rust fullstack project compiles successfully, runs its health endpoint, serves static files, and responds correctly on HTMX endpoints. Run `python3 scripts/validate_project.py --path /path/to/project --port 3000` after project initialization to confirm build success and runtime correctness before starting development.

A health check validates that your application runs and responds at its health endpoint, confirming the server starts correctly and core runtime dependencies are wired. This ensures the project is deployable after the build phase.

Yes, validation confirms static files load correctly and your HTML index page serves as expected. It also verifies HTMX endpoints exist and respond, ensuring your frontend assets and interactive components are properly integrated.

The validation script audits CSS animations for safe usage patterns, catching potential performance or accessibility issues. This safety check runs alongside other endpoint and asset validation to ensure production-ready code.

Project validation works with Rust fullstack projects after initialization and requires the tower-http crate with the fs feature enabled. It runs before the TDD development loop to verify all core dependencies are correctly configured.

Run validation immediately after project initialization and before starting your TDD loop. It identifies configuration and wiring issues early, confirming your project satisfies the `/ship` phase readiness checks for build, health, and endpoint functionality.
