File hygiene

Cheap checks on files as files: valid syntax for config formats, no merge markers, no trailing whitespace, no oversized or binary blobs.

Sub-techniques

Config syntax validation V1002.001

Parse every JSON, YAML and TOML file, and validate the important ones against a schema.
Merge marker and whitespace checks V1002.002

Reject conflict markers, trailing whitespace and missing final newlines.
Large file guard V1002.003

Refuse files above a size limit so binaries go to LFS or object storage.
