Installation

Windows 10/11 x64 portable ZIP. Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime is required separately; it is not bundled or automatically installed. No separate .NET runtime is required.

Extract the entire ZIP, keep packaged files/folders together, then run ConfigDoctor.exe. Obtain a missing WebView2 Runtime separately from https://developer.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/webview2/. The app does not install or download it automatically.

Windows binaries are not Authenticode signed and Windows may show a reputation warning. Download only from official ALMARFELD/GitHub links or this verified mirror. Do not disable Windows security.

Features

• Inspect UTF-8 ENV, JSON, YAML, TOML and INI files
• Compare normalized keys, values and types across files
• Compare actual configuration with a selected baseline
• Diagnose simple ENV references and cycles without exposing values
• Mask all scalar values until explicitly revealed
• Preview ENV examples and export HTML, JSON or TXT reports

Limitations and safety

Syntax validation is not schema validation. Baseline membership does not prove a key is required. Secret detection is heuristic and can miss credentials. Keys, paths and diagnostic text remain visible: inspect reports before sharing. UTF-8 only. Complex shell/default expressions are not evaluated. Limits: 16 MiB per file, 500 files and 250,000 normalized entries. Linked directories and unsupported YAML structures are refused or skipped.
