CV-S001: Invalid YAML Syntax
Error Schema
Why This Matters
The YAML parser encountered a syntax error that prevents the file from being parsed. Common causes include incorrect indentation (YAML uses spaces, never tabs), unclosed quotes or brackets, duplicate keys at the same nesting level, and missing colons after mapping keys. Docker Compose files use YAML 1.1, which supports merge keys (<<) and anchors (&alias/*alias), but these must follow strict formatting rules. Fix the syntax error at the indicated line before any further validation can proceed.
