Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/2414

Act version

act version 0.2.64

Feature description

act should run the workflow yaml through a schema validation pass and catch schema-level issues early.

My Example

I made an error in my workflow and had:

jobs:
  my-job:
    contents: write

I was missing a parent permissions.contents node.

Actual behavior act ran the workflow whereas github immediately showed an error:

The workflow is not valid. .github/workflows/example.yml (Line: 12, Col: 5): Unexpected value 'contents'

Desired behavior should be able to get similar error from act without running the workflow.

Getting an official schema is the easy part https://github.com/actions/languageservices/blob/main/workflow-parser/src/workflow-v1.0.json

Another actions emulator I maintain uses the official .net template engine to apply the schema, but here we would need to either transform that schema / implement code that verifies it.

for action.yml it is in actions/runner
