Here it says "Validate a deployment stack at subscription scope.", which sounds nice, but what are you validating? I don't understand what this command is doing at all.

If I change something in my bicep file or parameter file it just says "looks cool 👍" with a list of "validatedResources" (including resources that don't exist yet or that I modified)

I had hoped it would give me a list of what would change (but sadly, this doesn't seem to exist at all for deployment stacks?)...
