Description
### Describe the bug
This GitHub issue is in response to MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs-cli customer feedback [4639](https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs-cli/issues/4639).
### Engineering request
Please add more information to the reference command description. What does this command validate? Why does a customer want to do this? Use the `long-summary` property if needed.
There is one conceptual article that uses the commands in this subgroup, [Deployment stacks](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/bicep/deployment-stacks?tabs=azure-cli), but it doesn't address validation.
### Customer feedback
**Link:**
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/stack/sub?view=azure-cli-latest#az-stack-sub-validate
**Verbatim:**
Here it says "Validate a deployment stack at subscription scope.", which sounds nice, but what are you validating? I don't understand what this command is doing at all.
If I change something in my bicep file or parameter file it just says "looks cool 👍" with a list of "validatedResources" (including resources that don't exist yet or that I modified)
I had hoped it would give me a list of what would change (but sadly, this doesn't seem to exist at all for deployment stacks?)...
