Validates a QuickBooks chart-of-accounts CSV plus journal (general ledger) CSV pair and reports what would be imported, without writing. Send the RAW QuickBooks exports unchanged - the parser locates the QBO header rows itself and reformatted/normalized files are rejected (reformatted data belongs in /bulk/accounts and /bulk/entries instead). Provide inline CSV content or file keys from /bulk/qbo-financials/uploads. Validation problems return 400 with a specific message.
