convrules editor scoped validate

Scoped validation on Save

Validating a whole rule book costs one engine process per From/To pair. A Save therefore validates only what changed: the syntax of the whole text, then each CHANGED #convert block against its own pair. Unchanged blocks are presumed validated earlier.

Where it shows

File > Save (after the backup) and File > Validate. Findings become marks on the rule lines; the status bar reads OK, OK, N warning(s) or the first error.

What to know

• A block whose last validation was cancelled stays pending and is checked again on the next Save, even though it no longer differs from the snapshot.
• Blocks that share a From/To pair share ONE engine answer; each block keeps only the diagnostics on its own lines and on the #mapping lines it applies.
• A cancel never replaces a mark: only completed passes do.
