Learning Castle Validation Schema
This schema defines how the eduKateSengkang Learning Castle checks its own integrity. It validates canonical ownership, typed routes, bridge justification, return paths, orphan control, route conflicts and the boundaries between public learning architecture, knowledge ownership and tuition-service ownership.

Repair Order
when_validation_fails: 1. preserve existing strong canonical owner 2. repair broken or missing route 3. add return path 4. type cross-owner handoff correctly 5. register previously unregistered valid node 6. narrow duplicate ownership 7. create new structure only if a genuine ownership gap remains mutation_rule: add_only_and_surgical no_mass_delete no_casual_menu_change
Runtime Self-Check
for_each_registered_node: validate_node_type validate_owner validate_inbound_routes validate_outbound_routes validate_edge_types validate_return validate_service_boundary validate_private_boundary for_each_fort: validate_fort_contract for_each_bridge: validate_handoff_and_return final_status: PASS if no fails WARNING if warnings only FAIL if one_or_more fails
The Castle should expand only after its existing routes can be validated. Validation therefore has priority over decorative growth: preserve strong owners, repair plumbing first, and create new rooms only when the architecture shows a genuine gap.
