Validate spread expressions before packing in `*craft test`
Metadata
Current evaluation
Open maintainer-authored enhancement: validate spread test expressions before packing so invalid selections fail fast; no comments, reproducer, or confirmed implementation are present.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The body explicitly requests validation before packing to save user time, and the issue is labeled Type: Enhancement and authored by a maintainer. Commit 7f70ecb0 (#775) added spread-expression support and #1029 addressed early errors for invalid spread.yaml, but neither demonstrates that expression validation was completed, so the unresolved enhancement should remain open.
