• Validate a strike-mode shortcode against the weapon's other shortcodes.

    The shortcode must be non-blank, use only [\w-] characters, and not collide with any of existing. Used when creating a new mode (all current shortcodes are existing) and, via planShortcodeSave, when editing one (the edited mode's own shortcode excluded from existing).

    Pure and Foundry-free.

    Parameters

    • candidate: string

      The proposed shortcode (trimmed here).

    • existing: readonly string[]

      The shortcodes it must not collide with.

    Returns string | undefined

    A human-readable rejection reason, or undefined if it is valid.
