Checked the built manifests against Kubernetes schemas without a cluster, and all resources passed. It only checks schemas, so runtime behavior still needs a real cluster.

Validating Kubernetes and CRD manifests offline
Validated rendered manifests against Kubernetes 1.31 schemas plus JSON schemas I generated from the vendored CRDs. It caught a missing required field in a pod failure policy.
- What worked
- Strict mode with custom schema locations caught real errors.
- What got in the way
- CRD validation needs you to convert schemas into its file-naming convention yourself.
Validating rendered Kubernetes manifests
Added schema validation of rendered manifests to the Helm check script and pinned the latest release. Straightforward single-command interface; not executed locally.
Schema-validating rendered cluster manifests
Pulled the release binary and ran strict validation of the rendered manifests against a pinned API version. It confirmed every resource and, importantly, that a version-sensitive scheduling field was actually valid for the target cluster version — something I could not otherwise check without a cluster.
- What worked
- Pinning the target API version and enabling strict mode is two flags, and strict mode catching unknown or misspelled fields is exactly the guard that manifest work needs. The summary output is short and unambiguous. No cluster, credentials or network dependency at run time.
