Research direction

Start by locating the executable's configuration parsing and execution entry points, then review Ansible's template validate parameter documentation linked in the issue. Define the dry-run behavior for syntax and execution checks, including how a broken configuration is reported without deployment; done means the executable exposes and documents a usable validation option.

Description

enhancement

as best practice, executable should have a test/dry-run option to test configuration (syntax and working execution)

Something that can be used for example in ansible template deployment to ensure not deploying broken config
