Inspections

Inspections are a way to check the correctness of your GitLab CI/CD YAML files. They help you identify potential issues, such as syntax errors, missing files, or undefined jobs. The inspections are run automatically when you open a YAML file in the editor. Available inspections can be found in the Settings > Editor > Inspections > Gitlab CI inpsections section. User can configure their scope, severity levels and highlighting.
