DO declaration explainer + validator
Paste the JSON you POST to /mgmt/shared/declarative-onboarding and it reads it back: whether it is a DO request wrapper or a bare Device declaration, the top-level options, and the Common tenant's class-objects grouped by the phase DO onboards them in, with every class named and explained. It also checks the structural rules F5 documents and flags the gotchas that bite in production, from the DO 1.36 allowService default change to a root user missing its oldPassword. DO is the sibling of AS3: DO does the L1-L3 onboarding, AS3 the L4-L7 services.
