DPONE_RECIPE_ANSWERS_INVALID

Audience: pipeline authors and recipe maintainers.

The --answers file is missing, malformed, too large, outside the project root, or otherwise violates the confined declarative answer contract.

Place a bounded YAML mapping under the project root. Do not use symlinks, traversal, executable templates, or secret values.

Inspect the recipe contract and keep the answer file inside the project:

dpone recipe show <recipe>

Repair only declared non-secret parameters, then rerun the original scaffold:

dpone init pipeline <pipeline-id> \
  --domain <domain> \
  --recipe <recipe> \
  --answers <project-relative-answers.yaml>
dpone check <domain>/<pipeline-id>

The failed attempt creates no partial authoring files. Use logical connection_ref values; credentials and Vault paths do not belong in answers.
