Use this when you want validation feedback on a layer definition before applying it to a project.

harnesstap layer doctor my-setup
harnesstap layer doctor my-setup --format json
harnesstap layer doctor --list-checks
harnesstap layer doctor my-setup --check plugin-metadata

Doctor checks cover empty layers, duplicate resources, empty content, and plugin metadata. JSON mode exits with code 1 when the layer is invalid.

Scenario 22: Diff two layers

harnesstap layer diff team-baseline my-fork harnesstap layer diff team-baseline ./incoming-bundle.harnesstap.json

Scenario 24: Apply a layer directly from a URL

harnesstap layer apply https://team.example.com/baselines/web.json --project .
