# Step 2 — Implementation Detail

1. Declared the exact checks in workflow.yaml and VALIDATION.md: Terraform 1.6+ formatting, backend-disabled initialization, Terraform validation, offline artifact validation, and pytest.
2. Added scripts/validate_artifacts.py to check required files, guide sections, and Mermaid graph presence without cloud calls.
3. Added tests/test_package.py to execute the package validator and check that example configuration contains placeholders rather than secret values.
4. Recorded validation status and the distinction between offline validation and an operator-supplied future terraform plan in the guide.
