Behavior

Validate an existing local Rootform registry layout, publish its external Dialects to one registry repository, repull every manifest by digest, and verify the complete Dialect set. Only the exact selected Dialects are written. Packaging and dry-run remain offline.

The text or JSON result goes to standard output. Diagnostics go to standard error.

Exit status

Status	Description
0	publication or dry-run verification completed
1	the registry layout is invalid
2	the command was used incorrectly
4	the layout could not be read, or registry publication or verification failed
