+// This file provides validation for campaign orchestrator project requirements.

+// # Campaign Project Validation
+//
+// This file ensures that workflows with campaign characteristics (such as campaign labels
+// or campaign IDs) have a required GitHub Project URL configured for tracking their work.
+//
+// Campaign orchestrators coordinate multiple workflows and track progress on GitHub Project
+// boards. Without a project URL, the orchestrator cannot track Dependabot PRs, bundle issues,
+// or other campaign work items.
+//
+// # Detection Criteria
+//
+// A workflow is considered a campaign orchestrator if it has:
+//   - Campaign labels in safe-outputs (agentic-campaign or z_campaign_*)
+//   - Campaign ID configured in repo-memory tools
+//
+// # Validation Rules
+//
+// When campaign characteristics are detected:
+//   - A project field must be present in frontmatter
+//   - The project field must be a non-empty string or valid project config object
+//
+// # When to Update This File
+//
+// Update this validation when:
+//   - New campaign detection patterns are added
+//   - Project configuration requirements change
+//   - Campaign orchestration patterns evolve
