Run `./vendor/bin/lean-package-validator validate` to check the current .gitattributes file. 2. Add `--diff` to see the expected content when validation fails. 3. Add `--enforce-strict-order` or `--enforce-alignment` only if strict comparison is required. 4. Add `--report-stale-export-ignores` (with `--diff`) to surface export-ignores that no longer exist. If validation fails, use the updating skill to bring .gitattributes in sync. --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/raphaelstolt) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
