`claro.lock` records the release version, lock format, packages, and checksums so future registry work has a stable safety foundation. `claro package doctor` checks those lockfile checksums for listed packages and reports `BAD lock checksum: name` if the lockfile is stale or edited incorrectly. It rejects duplicate `package:` entries with `DUPLICATE lock package: name`, so one package cannot have ambiguous lock data. It also reports `BAD lock package not in claro.project: name` when the lockfile contains a package entry that is not listed in `claro.project`, so learners know to refresh the lockfile instead of trusting stale package data. The project file must declare the complete supported `manifest-version: 1` value; a prefix such as `manifest-version: 10` is rejected as `BAD project manifest version: expected 1`. Package manifests must declare the complete supported `manifest-version: 1` value; a prefix such as `manifest-version: 10` is treated as a missing/unsupported manifest. They must also declare exactly one expected `name:` value; duplicate or prefix-matching names are rejected as `BAD package manifest name: name`. The manifest must contain exactly one checksum field with the expected complete value; duplicate, trailing, or extra checksum text is rejected as `BAD package checksum: name`. Package manifests must also declare exactly one `version: 1` field; duplicate or prefix-matching versions such as `version: 10` are rejected as `BAD package version: name`. Package manifests must also declare the complete supported local `source: local` value. Prefixes such as `source: local-extra` are rejected as `BAD package source: name` rather than being accepted as valid local manifests.

Package manifests must declare exactly one complete supported `manifest-version: 1` value. Missing, blank, unsupported (such as `10`), or duplicate format fields report `BAD package manifest version` with the package name, the manifest path, and a hint to keep exactly one `manifest-version: 1` line. The doctor leaves the file unchanged for you to repair; an absent manifest file still reports `MISSING package manifest`. They must also declare exactly one expected `name:` value; duplicate or prefix-matching names are rejected as `BAD package manifest name: name`. The manifest must contain exactly one checksum field with the expected complete value; duplicate, trailing, or extra checksum text is rejected as `BAD package checksum: name`. Package manifests must also declare exactly one `version: 1` field; duplicate or prefix-matching versions such as `version: 10` are rejected as `BAD package version: name`. Package manifests must also declare the complete supported local `source: local` value. Prefixes such as `source: local-extra` are rejected as `BAD package source: name` rather than being accepted as valid local manifests.
If `package doctor` reports `BAD package source: math-tools`, open `packages/math-tools/claro.package` and keep exactly one `source: local` line. Duplicate `source:` lines are rejected even when both say `local`, or when a valid line appears before or after an unsupported source. The doctor leaves the file unchanged so you can review and repair it yourself.
