• Step 3: Structural and Syntax Validation (Status Required)

📊 Mandatory Validation Reporting

At the end of every validation task (successful or otherwise), you MUST generate a comprehensive Data Product Validation Report as an artifact in the standard brain artifacts directory.

• Use the template located at: validation_report_template.md
• Save this artifact with the exact filename validation_report.md for user review.
• Fill in all placeholders (e.g. GCP parameters, validation statuses, detailed log outputs) accurately based on your run.
• Ensure the Final Validation Ledger inside is fully populated.
• Refer to the generated report in your final response to the user.
