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.
