The below solutions are explored and implemented if they prove to be good options:
(Proactive) Generate a fingerprint of validation rules. Notify devs when fingerprint changes.
(Proactive) Utility to validate the whole database or a portion of the database.
(Better Team Awareness) Creating Folders for persisted entities vs. non DB entities
(Reactive) Logging when a persisted entity is invalid
Pain Avoided/Frustration Saved
Making schema changes causes existing data in the database to become invalid.

Notes
This problem has been explored and voted on by the team(10/4/2024). The ideas to solve this problem can be found in this branch devex-auto-detect-validation-errors inside of this markdown file docs/entities/entity-validation.md.
The fingerprinting method has been explored and a partial solution exists. To run checkout devex-auto-detect-validation-errors branch and run npx ts-node --transpile-only scripts/getEntityIdentifiers.ts
These are experiments, not commitments. Let's see what works and eventually get rid of things that don't to reduce complexity.
