Manifest Validation Errors

Manifest errors appear either as parse failures or validation issues. Inspect issues[].code and message for the affected reference.

Code or family	Correction
UNSUPPORTED_API_VERSION	Use synentra.io/v2alpha2.
INVALID_KIND	Use GovernanceBundle.
DUPLICATE_*_ID	Make IDs unique within each object kind.
EMPTY_*_ID	Supply a non-empty identifier.
UNRESOLVED_PROFILE_REF	Define the referenced profile.
UNRESOLVED_POLICY_REF	Define every operation policy reference.
UNRESOLVED_OPERATION_REF	Bind to an existing operation.
UNRESOLVED_TARGET_REF	Bind to an existing target.
UNRESOLVED_ADAPTER_REF	Register the target adapter.
UNRESOLVED_RESOURCE_RESOLVER	Register the resource resolver implementation.
UNRESOLVED_EFFECT_RESOLVER	Register the effect resolver implementation.
UNRESOLVED_VERIFIER	Register the outcome verifier.
INVALID_MUTABILITY	Use a supported mutability value.
INVALID_EXECUTION_MODEL	Use a recognized model with an actually capable adapter.
DUPLICATE_RESOURCE_ROLE	Make operation resource roles unambiguous.
INVALID_POLICY_EFFECT	Use allow, review, or deny.
INVALID_QUANTIFIER	Use all or any.
MAPPING_MISSING_SOURCE	Specify one source for the mapping destination.
MAPPING_MULTIPLE_SOURCES	Reduce the entry to one source.
MAPPING_INVALID_POINTER	Use a JSON Pointer destination beginning with slash.

Parser failures

Reduce oversized input below 512 KiB. Remove duplicate keys, unknown fields, YAML anchors/aliases/tags, and multiple documents. Deep nesting can exceed the parser limit.

Validation versus execution

Validation checks structure and registration. It does not certify target availability, valid credentials, or a functioning provider behind every advertised capability.

The filesystem sample references a custom resolver. If it fails registration checks, either install the intended resolver or use the simpler QuickStart bundle. Do not remove required governance merely to silence a validation error.
