MarkdStage v4.2.9
Overview
markdstage_validate now checks Adaptive Cards in slide input before display, alongside
Architecture validation. Invalid cards are reported consistently with CLI and Desktop validation,
and card diagnostics include source locations and truncation details.
Compatibility and migration
This release is compatible with existing decks and installations. The slide-validation response
adds an adaptiveCards report, and its top-level valid value now reflects card errors as well as
Architecture errors. Valid decks are unaffected; decks with invalid cards are now correctly
reported as invalid before display.
