Validate a team manifest

Validates a team manifest without installing it. Returns structured errors, warnings and a summary of the manifest content (name, version, phase count, agents referenced).

Checks performed:

YAML syntax and schema validation (phase graph, inputs, agents).
Unused inputs — inputs declared at the top level but not consumed by any phase.
Dependencies file (if supplied) — must be a valid YAML array.
Orphan phases — phases not reachable from the graph root.

The response always has valid: true/false, an errors array, a warnings array and a summary object. When valid is false, the manifest would be rejected by teams/install.

From the CLI: cliq team validate ./path/to/team.

No credential is needed from this machine. From another host, send Authorization: Bearer with a dispatch token CliqHub signed for this daemon or a cliq_tok_… personal token of a user in the daemon’s realm; this only works once the daemon is connected to CliqHub. See Authentication.
