Description

Maybe include a tiny test function that just submits a tiny test job and checks if the result is as expected for a specific registry without the need of having any specific jobs specified.

This way you could easily find out if you setup everything correctly.

Research direction

Start by locating the registry setup and job-submission entry points in batchtools, then inspect how results from submitted jobs are validated. Define what a minimal setup probe should submit and what expected result indicates success; done means the helper can check a registry without requiring user-specified jobs.
