# Platform Validation Rules

- API handlers must use named DTOs from `platform/dto`.
- Platform services must not accept raw plugin-provided host paths.
- AI provider secrets must be stored by reference and redacted from logs, audit, and plugin bridge responses.
- Game management plugin installation must validate manifest identity, server type, required run capabilities, pages, permissions, and schema references.
- Server instance creation must validate plugin installation state and run endpoint capability compatibility.
- `platform/validator/resources.go` validates required IDs, enum values, AI key-reference shape, bounded progress/audit summaries, artifact metadata, log stream cursors, and run capability compatibility.
- `platform/service.Core` must call validators before repository writes and must reject server creation when the plugin is not installed, the run endpoint is disabled/offline, or required run capabilities are missing.
- Job creation must require an idempotency key and return the existing job for duplicate `(runEndpointId, idempotencyKey)` pairs.
