There is no nix doctor-like command to validate or diagnose misconfigurations short for nix store ping --store ssh://... which doesn't tell too much about the negotiated feature sets.

Describe the solution you'd like

Provide a nix doctor remote-builders [--group XYZ] [--machine NAME] [--simulate-build-drv XYZ] command to validate SSH access, parse errors, missing keys, and system mismatches.
