    "Optional checks include:\n\n"
    "1. Validating the 'Direction' field to ensure all direction field values in the input layer "
    "match the configured forward/backward/both values. Errors will be reported if the direction field "
    "value is non-null and does not match one of the configured values.\n"
    "2. Checking node-to-node separation. This check identifies nodes from the network graph that "
    "are closer to other nodes than the specified tolerance distance. This often indicates missed "
    "snaps or short segments in the input layer. In the case that a node violates this condition with multiple other "
    "nodes, only the closest violation will be reported.\n"
    "3. Checking node-to-segment separation: This check identifies nodes that are closer to a line "
    "segment (e.g. a graph edge) than the specified tolerance distance, without being connected to it. In the case "
    "that a node violates this condition with multiple other edges, only the closest violation will be reported.\n\n"
    "Topology checks (node-to-node and node-to-segment) can optionally be restricted to only evaluate nodes that are topological dead-ends (connected to only one other distinct node). This is useful "
    "for specifically targeting dangles or undershoots.\n\n"
    "Two layers are output by this algorithm:\n"
    "1. An output containing features from the original network layer which failed the direction validation checks.\n"
    "2. An output representing the problematic node locations with a 'error' field explaining the error. This is "
    "a line layer, where the output features join the problematic node to the node or "
    "segment which failed the tolerance checks."
