Is poetry check only for the abstract structure to the pyproject.toml?

Is poetry check only for the abstract structure to the pyproject.toml?

To be specific, should this command check existence of the file docs/README.md for the following pyproject.toml?

[tool.poetry]
# ...
readme = "docs/README.md"

---

(I'm trying to fix #6937 poetry install checks README.md, but poetry check does not.)

The documentation says that it validates the structure. poetry check --help says that it checks the validity of pyproject.toml. However, (maybe via flags) it should just check anything we want to check. We only have to think about the default and update the documentation. Checking the existence of referenced files makes sense.

Kind of related: It is planned to replace poetry lock --check with poetry check --lock (see #6756, poetry lock --check is considered a UI design flaw).

Thanks! I’ll continue my work.
