CargoStore includes validation logic that performs checks on incoming data, using the primary DB to fetch information like the table schema and existing values. However, this logic runs not just in contexts where data would be stored (e.g. on page saves), but any time the {{#cargo_store:}} PF or its Lua equivalents are invoked, including on page views with a parser cache miss. This is not optimal, as data wouldn't be stored in this situation anyways, and primary DB connections should be avoided on page views.

CargoStore should instead only perform this validation when the data would actually be stored.
