Description
Summary of the new feature / enhancement
Instead of hitting a run-time error, it would be useful to have some static analysis be performed. I do wonder if it should be part of whatIf or separate since whatIf will already handle some of it:
- schema validation of properties
- dependsOn circular loops (although this is caught early on during execution)
[reference()]w/o explicitdependsOn[resourceId()]that doesn't exist (think typo)- invalid functions or function arguments
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Research direction
Start by reading the existing whatIf behavior, since the issue questions whether static analysis belongs there or in a separate feature. Identify how schema validation, dependency checks, references, resource IDs, and function arguments are currently handled. The issue does not name files or tests, and completion criteria would need to be defined for the proposed checks.
