Validates Resident Lua apps on your workstation before deployment, catching syntax errors, missing lifecycle functions, and runtime issues to reduce device failures.
Run the tool against your Lua app file to validate it locally.

Local validation of Resident Lua apps runs your code through a Lua interpreter with permissive stubs to simulate device APIs. It checks for compile errors, missing lifecycle functions, and runtime issues before deployment.
The best way to catch syntax and runtime errors in Lua apps before flashing is to run a local validation tool. It simulates a short device run to identify missing lifecycle functions and runtime crashes safely on your workstation.
Local Lua validation deduces device modules for sandbox stubs by reading the DEVICE-SKILL.md file alongside optional refs. This allows the interpreter to accurately simulate the specific device APIs your app requires.
You do not need a physical device to test for missing lifecycle functions in Lua code. Local validation tools use auto-deduced stubs to simulate the device environment and verify your code directly on your workstation.
Your Lua app might pass local validation but fail on the device because validation uses permissive stubs. These stubs simulate device APIs but may not perfectly replicate actual hardware behavior and edge cases.
