verify

verify checks a finished run against its manifest and checks whether the generated artifacts agree with each other.

Syntax

Section titled “Syntax”
Terminal window
stacktoit verify RUN_DIR [--same-as OTHER_RUN_DIR] [--output text|json]

Verify a run

Section titled “Verify a run”
Terminal window
stacktoit verify ./terraform-stacktoit

Compare two runs

Section titled “Compare two runs”
Terminal window
stacktoit verify ./migration-new --same-as ./migration-previous

The comparison can identify the same run, the same inputs, content that cannot safely be compared or different inputs. When comparable files conflict, verification reports the difference.

JSON output

Section titled “JSON output”
Terminal window
stacktoit verify ./terraform-stacktoit --output json

Verification examines file integrity, expected schema versions and cross-artifact consistency. It does not provide a digital signature or prove that infrastructure changes occurred in the cloud. Exit code 0 means the verification succeeded; exit code 6 indicates refusal due to findings.
