verificationinclude
Verificationinclude is a concept used in some verification toolchains to specify that a resource brought into a verification or analysis workflow must itself be verified before use. It is not a formal standard and its exact semantics vary by implementation, but the core idea is to extend integrity and provenance checks to includes.
In typical implementations, a verificationinclude directive triggers a verification step when the host file is loaded.
Syntax and usage are often defined in a project’s configuration language or scripting API. A verificationinclude
