+        This test ensures that if 'no_stop_required' is defined in any

+          - have a 'name' entry defined on the same level

+        This is critical for the role 'sys-bkp-docker-2-loc', which uses the
+        'no_stop_required' flag to determine which container names should be excluded
+        from stopping during backup operations.
