Verify

veln verify is how you run Veln against a project tree: it walks relevant lockfiles, pulls in registry and policy signals, and emits a structured outcome — in the terminal by default.

What you see

Human-readable output summarizes allow / warn / block style decisions per your org policy. For automation, use --json (or the JSON flags your build supports) so CI scripts, editors, or internal tools can consume the same verdict without parsing prose.

Watch mode

Veln can re-run verify when lockfiles change (watch flows) so local development gets fast feedback without manually re-invoking the command every time.

Exit codes

Scripts typically key off the process exit code. Use flags like --fail-on-verify-error where you need “network or parse failure” to surface as failure separately from policy deny — check veln help verify for your version.
