Build a small but complete wireless model on WLC1 (1 WLAN, 1 Policy Profile, 1 AP-Join Profile, 1 RF Profile per band, all three tags, one AP record), then use show wlan summary, show wireless tag policy summary, and show ap summary to verify everything binds correctly. The show ap summary verdict column flags any tag references that don't resolve.

Scenario
Slice D adds the *readable* surface to the controller-managed wireless model. After Slices A–C built the IR end-to-end, you can finally inspect it from the CLI without exporting the running-config: `` show wlan summary ! WLAN catalogue + status + security show wireless profile policy summary ! Policy profiles + VLAN + switching show ap profile summary ! AP-Join profiles + country + ssh show wireless tag policy summary ! Per policy-tag, with WLAN→policy entries show wireless tag site summary ! Site tags + bound AP-Join profile show wireless tag rf summary ! RF tags + per-band profile bindings show ap summary ! Per-AP records + tag triple + verdict show wireless country ! Controller-wide country anchor ` The most useful one for sanity-checking is show ap summary. Each row carries a *verdict*: ok if all three tags resolve to defined entities and every binding flattens, or unresolved:KEY=VALUE,… listing exactly what's missing. Tag references are stored as strings — they don't fail at parse time, so this is the line of defence that catches typos or out-of-order config. Under the hood, the verdict comes from a pure-function resolver (resolveApEffectiveConfig) that walks: AP record → policy-tag → WLAN entries → policy-profiles, plus AP record → site-tag → AP-Join profile, plus AP record → RF tag → per-band RF profile. Anything that doesn't resolve gets surfaced both in the show output and in the resolver's unresolved` block (used by external tools and the engine's runtime later).
