How can I run validate on a specific subset of files?

Is there a way to ONLY run the small subset of files that threw the Integrity errors? It only affected 194/2430 files. I have not found the right combination of options to use when running Validate to retest a specific selection.

There are a couple ways you can do it, but the easiest is to create a target manifest with paths to each of the files.

Manifest:

/path/to/product/x.xml
/path/to/product/y.xml
/path/to/product/z.xml

Then run validate with the target-manifest flag:

validate --target-manifest my-manifest.txt

I see their issue now. This gets complicated for Validate quickly.

So, to be able to find their remaining warning.integrity.reference_not_found issues, they can't just test the files independently. They have to do a "validate -R pds4.bundle" run. This type of run doesn't limit itself to the "--target.manifest" file listing. For example, running the command below will still run over all files.

validate -R pds4.bundle bundle.xml --target-manifest test.list

Sounds tricky to implement, but any thoughts?
