Assistant: Progressive Validation and Health Checks

[yesoreyeram]

Parent: #6

Summary

Integrate progressive validation and health checks into Assistant configuration flows.

Context

Assistant should reduce trial-and-error by validating inputs as users provide them and running health checks at meaningful checkpoints.

Scope

• Field-level validation
• Section-level validation
• Connection health check
• Authentication health check
• Retry/correction loop

Tasks

• Call validation API after meaningful input steps
• Surface field-level validation errors
• Implement retry/correction loop
• Run connection health check after connection fields are complete
• Run authentication health check after auth fields are complete
• Surface health check results clearly
• Support final health check mode
• Add tests for validation and health check flows

Deliverables

• Progressive validation integration
• Health check integration
• Retry/correction flow
• Validation/health check tests

Acceptance Criteria

• Assistant validates inputs progressively
• Assistant surfaces field-level errors clearly
• Assistant runs connection health checks
• Assistant runs authentication health checks where supported
• User can correct invalid inputs
• Flow avoids relying only on final Save & Test

Notes

Validation handles config correctness. Health checks handle runtime connectivity/authentication.
