# qxctl validate: Symphony Validator Warning Policy

> Administer protected warning policy, baseline, and display grammar over the independent Symphony Validator through qxctl without altering raw detector evidence.

The `qxctl validate ...` grammar administers the Symphony Validator's protected warning policy, baseline, and display grammar. The independently installed C++ validator produces immutable raw evidence; qxctl administers caller-neutral protected presentation without changing detection.

## What qxctl validate covers

* Nine protected warning-lifecycle leaves
* The exact receipt-backed root-summary route
* Baseline management and delta reporting
* Display grammar for line output and structured JSON

Every leaf validates the validator's exact receipt and structured digests before applying protected warning policy.

## Boundary

<Warning>
  qxctl validate cannot repair files, publish anything, or override raw detector evidence. Warning disposition affects presentation, not detection.
</Warning>

* No warning suppression outside the protected policy
* No modification of validator output
* No fabricated coverage for an unavailable route

## Common uses

* Establish or reset a warning baseline
* Approve or reopen a governed historical warning
* Emit the receipt-backed root summary that appears in the repository README

The validator underpinning this grammar checks contract shape, current source closure, invariant ownership, feature administration, releases, and the machine-owned root summary.
