-Data Validation and Corruption Detection for Settings Database
-
-This module provides comprehensive data validation and corruption detection
-for the settings database system. It ensures data integrity and detects
-various types of corruption or invalid data.
-
-Features:
-- Schema validation and integrity checks
-- Data type validation and conversion
-- Corruption detection algorithms
-- Automatic data repair procedures
-- Validation reporting and logging
