Description

at the moment this shows up as an error of an entity referencing a non-existent repository.  This is where the entity is found by walking the graph outside the set of defined modules, and yet the domain services are only ever strictly loaded.

The metamodel validator should basically check that every entity and view model type in the metamodel resides within one of the packages of the set of modules that make up the application.
