+``spack verify libraries``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The ``spack verify libraries`` command can be used to verify that packages
+do not have accidental system dependencies. This command scans the install
+prefixes of packages for executables and shared libraries, and resolves
+their needed libraries in their RPATHs. When needed libraries cannot be
+located, an error is reported. This typically indicates that a package
+was linked against a system library, instead of a library provided by
+a Spack package.
+
+This verification can also be enabled as a post-install hook by setting
+``config:shared_linking:missing_library_policy`` to ``error`` or ``warn``
+in :ref:`config.yaml <config-yaml>`.

+Include Settings (include.yaml)
+===============================
+
+Spack allows you to include configuration files through ``include.yaml``.
+Using the ``include:`` heading results in pulling in external configuration
+information to be used by any Spack command.
+
+Included configuration files are required *unless* they are explicitly optional
+or the entry's condition evaluates to ``false``. Optional includes are specified
+with the ``optional`` clause and conditional with the ``when`` clause. For
+example,
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+   include:
+   - /path/to/a/required/config.yaml
+   - path: /path/to/$os/$target/config
+     optional: true
+   - path: /path/to/os-specific/config-dir
+     when: os == "ventura"
+
+shows all three. The first entry, ``/path/to/a/required/config.yaml``,
+indicates that included ``config.yaml`` file is required (so must exist).
+Use of ``optional: true`` for ``/path/to/$os/$target/config`` means
+the path is only included if it exists. The condition ``os == "ventura"``
+in the ``when`` clause for ``/path/to/os-specific/config-dir`` means the
+path is only included when the operating system (``os``) is ``ventura``.
+
+The same conditions and variables in `Spec List References 
+<https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/environments.html#spec-list-references>`_
+can be used for conditional activation in the ``when`` clauses.
+
+Included files can be specified by path or by their parent directory.
+Paths may be absolute, relative (to the configuration file including the path), 
+or specified as URLs. Only the ``file``, ``ftp``, ``http`` and ``https`` protocols (or
+schemes) are supported. Spack-specific, environment and user path variables
+can be used. (See :ref:`config-file-variables` for more information.)
+
+.. warning::
+
+   Recursive includes are not currently processed in a breadth-first manner
+   so the value of a configuration option that is altered by multiple included
+   files may not be what you expect. This will be addressed in a future
