Syntax

Stable ID	Rule	Requirement	Why	Source
`text-format.validation.malformed-raw`	Malformed raw text	A raw source with a missing required field or unterminated value fails the text bake even if other entries parsed successfully.	LoadFromString reports aggregate failure and TextBaker rejects the complete source file.	Source/Common/TextPack.cpp, Source/Tools/TextBaker.cpp, Source/Tests/Test_TextPack.cpp
`text-format.validation.empty-languages`	Empty BakeLanguages	TextBaker, ProtoTextBaker, and TextPack normalization reject an empty Baking.BakeLanguages list.	No deterministic base language can be selected.	Source/Tools/TextBaker.cpp, Source/Tools/ProtoTextBaker.cpp, Source/Common/TextPack.cpp
`text-format.validation.raw-unsupported-warning`	Unsupported raw language warning	Unsupported raw language files produce a warning and no output for that language.	Projects can keep unrelated sources in a broader input tree without silently publishing them.	Source/Tools/TextBaker.cpp
`text-format.validation.proto-token-count`	Prototype key token count	A prototype $Text key with more than Language, Key2, and Key3 after $Text fails baking.	TextPackKey has no additional key field.	Source/Tools/ProtoTextBaker.cpp, Source/Tests/Test_ProtoTextBaker.cpp
`text-format.validation.proto-intersection`	Prototype output intersection	Duplicate complete keys produced by different prototype type sources in one output pack fail baking.	The generated pack must not depend on iteration order across type catalogs.	Source/Tools/ProtoTextBaker.cpp, Source/Tests/Test_ProtoTextBaker.cpp

Validation commands

python BuildTools\docs_text_format.py --check
python -m unittest BuildTools.tests.test_docs_text_format
cmake --build <build-dir> --config RelWithDebInfo --target RunUnitTests

In an embedding project, finish with its resource bake, localization guards, and a visible client check for language switching and formatted text that the project itself owns.
