# ReverseConnectionTargetMismatch validation rule

> Validates that the direct connection property points to the expected target view (the view containing the reverse connection). Ensures bidirectional relationships are correct.

This rule checks that the direct connection property points to the expected target view
(the view containing the reverse connection).

## Why it matters

The reverse connection expects a bidirectional relationship.
If the direct connection points to a different view, the relationship is broken.

## Example

If `WindFarm.turbines` is a reverse through `WindTurbine.windFarm`,
but `WindTurbine.windFarm` points to `SolarFarm` instead of `WindFarm`, the connection is invalid.
