Validate Tonel Syntax

Validate Tonel .st files before importing to Pharo. Modern AI usually generates correct Tonel, so this is optional.

Usage

/st-validate /absolute/path/to/MyClass.st   # validate a file
/st-validate 'Tonel source text'            # validate content directly

Steps

1. Call validate_tonel_smalltalk_from_file for a file path, or validate_tonel_smalltalk for raw content
2. Report any syntax errors or confirm the file is valid

Notes

• Use validate_smalltalk_method_body to validate a single method body in isolation
• Validation errors must be fixed before importing

Examples

/st-validate /home/user/project/src/MyPackage/MyClass.st
