STATUS_CLOUD_FILE_VALIDATION_FAILED

This status is about integrity confirmation after data transfer. With the VALIDATION_REQUIRED hydration modifier, the platform can require the provider to retrieve data it previously supplied and acknowledge that the required range is valid before completing the user I/O.

Treat it as distinct from a network failure or a malformed request. Preserve the file identity, requested byte range, transfer result, and provider integrity evidence. Do not mark the placeholder in sync merely because some bytes were downloaded; validation applies to the requested data path.

Useful checks

  • Correlate the failure with the callback's file identity, transfer key, and required range.
  • Verify the provider's hash, signature, or version test before acknowledging data.
  • Retry only with a new verified transfer path; repeated acknowledgement of the same unvalidated bytes hides the real fault.
