## Definitions

### `lol.dids.manage.validate`

**Type**: `procedure`

Validate a site or tile record before writing it, and — for an authorized caller — prepare bard for it. Returns the AT-URI the record will have, the CID it will have, and the canonical record to submit with putRecord at that key.

#### Input

**Encoding**: `application/json`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `rkey` | `string` | No | Required for a site (the hostname). For a tile: an existing rkey for a new version, a TID the client holds, or absent to have bard mint one. |
| `space` | `string` (at-uri) | No | Validate as a record in this space; the caller must be its authority. |
| `dryRun` | `boolean` | No | Validate only; never prepare. |
| `record` | `unknown` | Yes | A lol.dids.sites.site or lol.dids.sites.tile record, with $type. |

#### Output

**Encoding**: `application/json`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `cid` | `string` (cid) | No |  |
| `uri` | `string` (at-uri) | No |  |
| `state` | `ref` → `lol.dids.defs#indexState` | No |  |
| `valid` | `boolean` | Yes |  |
| `errors` | `array` | Yes |  |
| `reason` | `string` | No |  |
| `record` | `unknown` | No | The record as bard will serialize it; submit it verbatim. |
| `prepared` | `boolean` | Yes |  |
| `expiresAt` | `string` (datetime) | No |  |
| `entryCount` | `integer` | No |  |
| `totalBytes` | `integer` | No |  |
| `missingBlobs` | `array` | Yes |  |
| `parameterErrors` | `array` | Yes |  |

#### Errors

- **InvalidRecordKey**: A site validation without rkey, or an rkey that is not a canonical hostname / valid TID.
- **TileNotReady**: The bound tile is known only as pending-publication and cannot be bound yet.
- **SpaceNotFound**: Bard is not connected to that space.
- **NotSpaceAuthority**: Only the space's authority may publish in it.
- **RateLimitExceeded**: Too many preparations this hour.
