Godot Validation Flow

Odin-shaped validation for Godot 4.3+. Catch broken dependencies, bad UIDs, empty NodePaths, export problems, and your own content rules before they ship.

What you get

• Validation dock — bottom panel with Subject / Detail / Severity / Actions (open, reveal, copy, ignore)
• Scene badge — live icon + issue count on Canvas Item and Spatial menus; click to open Validation with Scene filter
• Severity toggles — Error / Warning / Info with clear on/off backgrounds and live counts
• 13 built-in rules — dependencies, UIDs, export integrity & coverage, autoloads, empty NodePaths, orphans, configuration warnings, and more
• Content inject — GDScript VFValidate fluent API and C# attributes (VfRequired, VfScenePath, VfRange, …)
• Export gate — block export while blocking issues remain
• Headless CLI — CI-friendly JSON + HTML reports

Daily workflow

1. Press Ctrl+Alt+D (or Validate in the dock)
2. Watch the Scene badge for the open scene’s health
3. Click the badge or browse the full project in the dock
4. Fix, ignore, or filter by profile / group / rule / severity

Built-in rules

Toggle rules in validators/ProjectValidationRules.tres. Profiles (validators/profiles/*.tres) control scan scope.

Content inject (example)

func _vf_validate() -> PackedStringArray:
    return VFValidate.begin() \
        .node_path(self, target, "target", "", "Node2D") \
        .finish()
