Network Config Validator (Netplan/NetworkManager)

[mikejmorgan-ai]

Problem (Pain Point #6)

Netplan's strict YAML formatting causes network outages from simple typos.

"It's insane how complicated a stupid simple task can be. Thank you Canonical... May it burn in yaml mordor."

Solution

Build a network config validator that:

1. Validates YAML syntax before apply
2. Checks semantic correctness (valid IPs, routes)
3. Shows diff of what will change
4. Dry-run mode with revert timer
5. Plain English error messages

Bounty: $50 (+ $50 bonus after funding)
