# Validation Runbook

Run from the repository root without credentials:

```bash
# 1. Static artifact & guide section validation
python3 scripts/validate_artifacts.py

# 2. Pytest unit & integration test suite
pytest -v

# 3. Offline ADK evaluation benchmark suite
python3 -m eval.eval_harness

# 4. Optional Terraform formatting & validation
terraform -chdir=terraform fmt -check -recursive
terraform -chdir=terraform init -backend=false
terraform -chdir=terraform validate
```

`init -backend=false` may download the pinned provider constraint but does not create infrastructure. Do not use `terraform apply` as part of validation. A deployment candidate additionally requires an operator-supplied `terraform plan -out=tfplan` and human review.
