Validate a mixed batch of medical codes against their source terminologies. Useful for retrospective analysis of legacy databases — flag codes that no longer exist, surface ICD-10 → ICD-11 replacements, and grade activity status where the terminology exposes it. For each input `{ code, terminology }`, returns: - **valid**: whether the code exists in the source terminology. - **active**: whether the code is currently active. Null when the source doesn't expose an explicit active/inactive distinction at category level (CID-10, ATC, ICD-11, RxNorm, MeSH all return null today; SNOMED and LOINC return a real boolean). - **title**: the official label/name when available. - **replaced_by**: a successor code, populated today only for ICD-10 codes that have a primary ICD-11 mapping in the bundled WHO transition tables. - **source**: human-readable provenance of the validation (terminology + release/version). - **error**: non-null only when validation couldn't be performed (network error, SNOMED feature flag off, etc.). `valid: false` + `error: null` means "code not found"; `valid: false` + `error: set` means "couldn't validate". Terminology is **required per code** — auto-detection isn't supported because category codes like "A00" exist in both ICD-10 and CID-10. Accepted values: `icd11`, `icd10`, `snomed`, `loinc`, `rxnorm`, `mesh`, `atc`, `cid10`. Hard cap of 50 codes per call; codes are validated in parallel through their respective clients, so total wall time scales with the slowest upstream + its rate limit (worst case ~10 s for a full batch hitting ICD-11).
