Validate Claude Ads

Choose the narrowest validation target:

• Contract or bundle: use the deterministic core validator.
• Scores: validate controls, findings, category weights, and coverage.
• Run: verify manifest completeness, source lineage, privacy, worker status, and

render artifacts.

• Capability: require implementation, fixtures, tests, sources, and truthful mode.
• Repository: run deterministic, routing, security, installer, rendering, evidence,

packaging, and freshness gates.

• Release: dispatch a fresh-context release verifier.

Return machine-readable pass/fail results, the highest-priority blocker, exact

evidence, and recovery steps. Never promote maturity because documentation is

polished or a prior release passed. Stale evidence and skipped remote CI demote

readiness.

If an expired claim cannot be reverified because source or filesystem access is

unavailable, return a failed current-evidence check, demote that claim for the

current run, and block dependent release-current assertions before asking for the

missing access.

Install and uninstall validation

An uninstall may remove only exact paths in the matching Claude Ads ownership

manifest. Validate the entire manifest and configured root boundaries before any

deletion. If the manifest is absent, invalid, mismatched, or unsafe, stop before

deleting anything and require manual review. Never discover targets with an

ads-* glob; unrelated skills such as ads-weather must remain untouched.

Reject pipe-to-shell install instructions. A safe install uses the host's native

installer or a locally inspected checkout/archive; archives require a SHA-256

checksum verified against a trusted release channel before execution.
