 ## Master validation (operator commands)

+**Beyond unit tests:** the [validation ladder (L0–L8)](../docs/VALIDATION_LADDER.md) maps each rung to 	est-suite.ps1 slices, Docker/VM payload steps, and honest gaps from [PROBLEMS.md](../PROBLEMS.md). Use it after parallel agent landings when you need the lowest honest gate, not another full regression table.

 PROBLEMS.md `Test gaps / noise` defers here â€” use the tables below for P1, fleet evolution, and P2 coverage.
