Changes

Terragrunt validation documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Document Terragrunt validation hooks README.md	Adds the terragrunt_validate table-of-contents entry, updates hook descriptions and dependencies, and documents validation commands, scopes, links, and configuration examples.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d2165

The README currently documents a strict-validation flag that does not work with the command used by the hook, which can cause users to run a failed or incorrect validation command. Correct the documented invocation before merging.

Pull request overview

This PR updates repository documentation to more precisely describe what the Terragrunt-related hooks do, and adds dedicated usage notes for terragrunt_validate so users understand what is being validated when running Terragrunt-based pre-commit hooks.

Changes:

• Add a new terragrunt_validate section under “Hooks usage notes and examples” with a configuration example.
• Refine the hook summary table descriptions for terragrunt_validate and terragrunt_validate_inputs, and add the missing TOC entry.
• Update terragrunt_validate_inputs wording and link to the current Terragrunt documentation page for hcl validate --inputs.

Suppressed comments (2)

README.md:1193

• The terragrunt_validate hook runs terragrunt validate (or terragrunt run -- validate on newer Terragrunt) which validates the underlying Terraform/OpenTofu configuration, but it still parses Terragrunt HCL and can fail on invalid HCL. The current wording "Does not validate anything inside Terragrunt HCL files" is too absolute and can be misleading.

Validates _TF_ configurations. Does not validate anything inside Terragrunt HCL files.

See Terragrunt docs for [`terragrunt run -- validate`](https://docs.terragrunt.com/reference/cli/commands/run) for more details.

README.md:1201

• The example comment "tf validate options" is a bit unclear given the project consistently refers to Terraform/OpenTofu elsewhere; spelling out the actual command helps readers understand these args are passed through to terraform validate/tofu validate.

    # `tf validate` options

1220-1221: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Document the version-specific strict-validation flag.

For Terragrunt ≥0.78, the hook runs hcl validate --inputs and forwards this argument directly. Use --strict for this command. Keep --terragrunt-strict-validate only for the legacy validate-inputs path, or translate the option inside the hook.
