Invalid ${configFileName} options detected:

Error message

Invalid ${configFileName} options detected: 

What it means

Header line of the aggregated config-validation report printed at the end of config loading: individual checks in assignDefaultsAndValidate can push non-fatal problems into a warnings list instead of throwing. When that list is non-empty it is rendered under this heading (each message indented), optionally routed through the onValidationMessages callback, followed by a link to the invalid-next-config docs.
