#2125) - Add comprehensive Pydantic-based schema validation for agents/tasks/workflow - Implement fail-fast validation with aggregated error reporting - Add cross-reference validation for agents, tasks, tools, and handoffs - Create 'praisonai validate' CLI command for pre-commit/CI validation - Update agents_generator to fail on validation errors (not just warn) - Add pydantic dependency for schema validation Key improvements: - Required fields are now enforced (role, goal, backstory) - Type checking for all configuration values - Cross-references validated (tasks->agents, tools->definitions, handoffs->roles) - Unknown fields detected with suggestions - Aggregated error messages show all problems at once - --strict mode treats warnings as errors Co-authored-by: MervinPraison <MervinPraison@users.noreply.github.com>

In `@src/praisonai/praisonai/cli/commands/validate.py`:
- Line 12: The validation command exits early when a file is missing before
checking if the --json flag is set, causing it to emit formatted text via rich
print instead of structured JSON output. Reorganize the code to ensure the file
existence pre-check occurs after the JSON flag is evaluated, or wrap the file
missing failure with conditional logic that outputs JSON when --json is enabled
and formatted text otherwise. This applies to the pre-check logic and the error
handling branches around lines 62-67 and 75-85 in addition to the initial
imports.
In `@src/praisonai/praisonai/config/schema.py`:
- Around line 330-343: The handoff target validation in the loop starting with
iterating through agents_dict is checking if targets exist in all_roles while
simultaneously populating all_roles in the same pass. This causes forward
references to be incorrectly flagged as undefined when an agent's handoff
references a role defined later in the configuration. To fix this, separate the
logic into two passes: first iterate through all agents_dict values to
completely populate the all_roles set, then in a second pass iterate again to
validate that all handoff targets in agent_config.handoff.to exist in the
now-complete all_roles set.
- Around line 193-206: The validate_step_type method checks for known step types
like 'task', 'parallel', 'loop', and 'route' but lacks validation to reject
unknown or unsupported step types, allowing invalid configurations to pass
silently. Add an else clause at the end of the conditional chain that raises a
ValueError when the step type does not match any of the supported types,
including the step name and the invalid type in the error message to provide
clear context during debugging.
- Around line 116-123: The handle_stream_alias validator in the stream field
validator only processes the stream field value but does not update the
streaming field itself, so backward-compatible configs using stream still result
in streaming being False. Replace or supplement this single field_validator with
a model_validator that runs after all fields are populated, checking if stream
is provided and streaming is at its default value, then explicitly setting
streaming to match the stream value. This ensures that providing stream: true
actually enables the streaming functionality as intended.
In `@src/praisonai/praisonai/config/validator.py`:
- Around line 211-245: The _is_known_optional_tool method in the validator.py
file is too permissive because it returns True for any tool name ending with
'Tool', even if it's not in the known_optional set. This masks typos and unknown
tools by treating them as optional dependencies instead of failing validation.
Remove the or tool_name.endswith('Tool') fallback condition from the return
statement in _is_known_optional_tool so that only tools explicitly listed in the
known_optional set are recognized as optional tools, allowing unknown tool names
to fail validation properly.
- Around line 85-103: The validate_config method does not validate that the
config parameter is a dictionary before attempting to unpack it with `**config`
into YAMLConfig. Non-mapping YAML input (None, lists, or scalar values) will
raise a TypeError that bypasses the aggregated error reporting mechanism. Add a
type check before the try block that instantiates YAMLConfig to verify that
config is a dictionary; if it is not, append an error message to the errors list
using the file_prefix format and continue with the validation, ensuring a proper
ValidationResult is always returned instead of raising an unhandled exception.

--json mode should emit JSON for missing-file failures too.
The pre-check exits before the JSON branch, so --json returns formatted text instead of structured output on a missing file. This breaks CI parsing for one of the most common failure cases.

stream alias does not actually enable streaming.
stream: true is stored on stream, but streaming remains its default (False), so backward-compatible configs lose intended behavior.

Unknown workflow step types currently pass validation silently.
validate_step_type() checks known types but never rejects unsupported ones, so invalid configs bypass fail-fast validation.

Handoff target validation is order-dependent and rejects forward references.
all_roles is populated and validated in the same pass, so a handoff to a role defined later can be incorrectly flagged as undefined.

Non-mapping YAML can crash validation before returning ValidationResult.
YAMLConfig(**config) assumes config is a dict. Empty YAML (None) or list/scalar YAML will raise TypeError and bypass aggregated error reporting.

llm/function_calling_llm typed as Optional[str] but existing YAML uses dict format
The existing YAML files (e.g., agents-advanced.yaml) use a dict structure for llm:
llm:
model: "groq/llama3-70b-8192"
function_calling_llm:
model: "openai/gpt-5-nano"Because these fields are typed Optional[str], Pydantic v2 will raise a ValidationError when given a dict, which propagates up as a ValueError in _validate_agents_config and crashes the agent run for all existing YAML files that use dict-style LLM config. These fields should be typed Optional[Union[str, Dict[str, Any]]] to preserve backward compatibility.

dependencies is a common top-level field in existing YAML files but is not in known_top_level
Every existing YAML file in the repo (agents.yaml, agents-advanced.yaml, tests/agents.yaml, etc.) includes dependencies: [] at the top level. This field is not in known_top_level, so _check_unknown_fields emits a warning for every valid config. In strict mode this becomes a blocking error, breaking all existing configs with --strict.

- Fix JSON output for missing files in validate command
- Fix stream alias not enabling streaming field (use model_validator before)
- Add validation to reject unknown workflow step types
- Fix handoff validation order-dependency (two-pass validation)
- Handle non-dict YAML input gracefully without crashing
- Remove overly permissive endswith('Tool') fallback
These fixes ensure fail-fast validation works correctly with proper error
aggregation and backward compatibility as intended.
