Syntax is narrower than application validity
Passing proves that the document fits the selected parser profile. It does not prove that a target service recognizes a section, key, value, or inferred datatype.

What this tool does
Bounded, explicit, and local
A useful INI result names its grammar. This validator accepts Tool Swim's documented profile and reports dialect-sensitive constructs instead of silently choosing Python, Git, PHP, Windows, or desktop-entry behavior.
Ambiguity becomes a finding
Duplicate keys, bare entries, multiline values, and dialect-specific comment or interpolation syntax are rejected or identified rather than normalized invisibly.
