- The page says its computer-side validator reports the same errors, in the same words, as the phone.
Field notes
The page describes a canonical JSON format intended to keep diffs clean, plus a Python validation script for computer-side edits. Its suggested sync sequence is to pull before editing, validate, commit, and push; phone-side changes can also be committed through a git app. For permissions, the page says users choose a folder through Android's picker and can revoke access.
