## Why are these changes needed?
It is useful to rapidly validate any changes to a team structure as
teams are built either via drag and drop or by modifying the underlying
spec
You can now “validate” your team. The key ideas are as follows
- Each team is based on some Component Config specification which is a
pedantic model underneath.
- Validation is 3 pronged based on a ValidatorService class
- Data model validation (validate component schema)
- Instantiation validation (validate component can be instantiated)
- Provider validation, component_type validation (validate that provider
exists and can be imported)
- UX: each time a component is **loaded or saved**, it is automatically
validated and any errors shown (via a server endpoint). This way, the
developer immediately knows if updates to the configuration is wrong or
has errors.
> Note: this is different from actually running the component against a
task. Currently you can run the entire team. In a separate PR we will
implement ability to run/test other components.
