# Validate Artifact

`POST /artifacts/validate`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api-docs.session-exchange.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api-docs.session-exchange.com/artifacts/validate`
- Auth: none declared

The deterministic gate on a generated automation artifact: the meta-path
guard (never a fitness/signing/schema/spec file — a loop can't rewrite how it's
graded) + a syntax check. Returns {valid, reasons}. The artifact is DATA here;
the collector never executes it.

## Request body

- ArtifactValidateRequest: Phase 3 rung 4 gate — the meta-path guard + syntax check on a generated automation artifact (a loop can never target its own grader).
  - `kind` string, required
  - `target_path` string

  - `language` string
