Looks neat! Thanks for putting this together. Is there any way to test it?

I haven't tried to run this, but it seems like it would be really useful 😁

Maybe check if it already exists, and proceed immediately if it does, otherwise wait 3 minutes and try again?

Should the Buildkite vs Jenkins diff be this big?

that's because I used this PR to test it against a bunch of other repos/PT :D

I will merge this is for now- there are other optimizations we could do, but I have already spent too much time on this for a script that will go away once the validation is over, and want to start reaping off the benefits of it while (potentially) incrementally making this better, eg:

• (optimization) check if the Jenkins branch exists and then sleep if it does not
• (better reporting) report violations in slack

Out of curiosity, how long will validation take? This script seems to increase the duration by almost +50% (from ~15min to ~24min). We have a PR build that takes ~15 minutes, so now we're waiting for the doc PR build, rather than ours.
