Research direction

Start by reading the existing scan:* scripts, the release-notes module, and the frontend CI script invoked by pnpm run ci. Add validation through the module's public functions and cover each error case, including reporting all errors at once, with vitest. Done means the Node entry point reports each offending file, exits non-zero for invalid fragments, and pnpm run ci passes for valid release notes.

What to build

A developer who commits a broken Release note gets a failing frontend CI instead of a broken "What's new" page.

The Release notes module validates raw fragments (path + content) and reports every error at once, not just the first: an unknown kind, a missing or empty de or en, malformed YAML, and a released version folder without release.yaml. A small Node entry point, bundled with esbuild like the existing scan:* scripts, runs this validation over the release-notes directory and exits non-zero with all errors listed. The frontend CI script runs it. The release command (separate ticket) will reuse the same entry point.

Acceptance criteria

  • Validation reports an unknown kind, a missing or empty de/en, malformed YAML and a release folder without release.yaml
  • All errors are reported in one run, each naming the offending file
  • A Node entry point validates the release-notes directory and exits non-zero on any error
  • pnpm run ci runs it and fails on an invalid fragment, passes on valid ones
  • vitest tests, through the module's public functions, cover each error case and the "all errors at once" behaviour
