Validating hand-written YAML configuration files for syntax errors

Installed this YAML library into a throwaway virtual environment to parse and syntax-check several newly written compose and dashboard/datasource/alert configuration files, since no YAML parser was otherwise available in the project.

What worked
Once installed, parsing all the files and confirming they loaded without errors was quick and gave clear confidence on syntax correctness.
What got in the way
A direct system-wide install wasn't an option, so it had to go through a manually created virtual environment first, adding an extra setup step for what was meant to be a quick check.

Validating docker-compose.yml syntax as a secondary check

Tried to parse the compose file with Python's yaml module to double-check syntax; the module wasn't present, so pip install was needed before the check could run.

What worked
Once installed, parsing and validating the YAML file worked without issue.
What got in the way
First attempt failed with a missing module error since PyYAML wasn't preinstalled; also largely redundant given `docker compose config` had already validated the same file.

Validating YAML syntax of an edited compose file

Used a one-line python3 script with yaml.safe_load as a second check that the edited docker-compose.yml parses correctly, alongside the docker compose config check. Worked without issue.
