Validate an IAMF file (raw .iamf or IAMF-in-MP4) with iamf-sentinel.

Runs the structural (L1) and semantic (L2) conformance checks — including the container trim-carriage checks S-407/S-408/S-409 — and returns the full report: a summary (PASS/FAIL/ERROR, finding counts, stream facts) and every finding with its S-code, severity, message, and offsets. strict treats WARN findings as failing. profile selects a validation profile (default "generic"). L3 rendered-loudness QC needs the decoder toolchain and is not exposed by this server version.

Summarize an IAMF file's structure without judging conformance.

Returns the container kind, IA sequence header profiles, codec configs (codec, samples/frame, sample rate, Opus pre-skip), element and presentation counts, audio-frame count, and start/end trim totals as parsed from the OBUs — plus, for MP4, whether edts/elst is present. Use iamf_validate for conformance findings; this tool is for orientation.

Compile an iamf-loom manifest (YAML/JSON) to its packaging plan.

Validate-only: nothing is executed and no files are written. Returns ok=true with a plan summary — per-target backend/muxer routing with the ADR-grounded rationale, and each step's id/kind/tool — or ok=false with the M-code diagnostics exactly as loom compile would report them. variables fills {variable} placeholders (the CLI's --var).

Render loom explain for a manifest: the compiled plan as its own justification, in plain text.

The output walks every target: why it routed to its backend/muxer (ADR grounding, F-number references), what every step does and why it exists, and which values resolve only at execution time. Returns ok=true with the text, or ok=false with M-code diagnostics.
