Validation gates example: build, audit, and size checks

The starter includes build-time checks so content and schema problems surface before deployment.

The project includes validation scripts for content shape, structured data references, crawlattribute, duplicate risk, and frontend size. Those checks are part of the template value: they keep the site from becoming a pile of pages that render locally but fail silently in production.

Run the build and validation gates after every content migration. A passing build proves that Astro can generate the pages. The validation script adds stronger checks around the conventions this template cares about: source fields, schema IDs, sitemap behavior, and thin-content floors. The size check keeps accidental frontend bloat visible.

A real project can extend these gates with niche-specific rules, such as required source URLs for catalog stats or required update dates for pricing pages.
