Validate spread expressions before packing in `*craft test`
Metadata
Current evaluation
Enhancement to validate spread test expressions before the packing step in craft test, so users get fast feedback on invalid expressions instead of waiting for a full pack cycle. Filed by a maintainer 444 days ago with no comments or further triage.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue carries only the initial Type: Enhancement label with zero comments, no assignee, and no maintainer acknowledgement in 444 days. The surrounding testing service code is still actively developed (PRs #1167, #1168), so the enhancement remains relevant, but a maintainer needs to decide whether to prioritise or defer it.

PR #775 added spread test expression support to the test command; this enhancement builds on that feature by moving expression validation earlier in the lifecycle.
