Data integrity verification limits during db:load restoration

Laravel provides the
db:dump and db:load commands to manage database exports and imports using system binaries. While these tools facilitate the movement of SQL dumps, the framework does not offer a native mechanism to verify data integrity or parity once the restoration completes.
When restoring large datasets, the db:load process is not inherently wrapped in a single atomic transaction. If a failure occurs due to memory limits or execution timeouts, the database may be left in a partially restored state. There is no built-in hook to compare row counts or checksums between the source dump and the target schema automatically.
Are there any documented methods or configurations to automate data validation post-rest db:load operation? How does the framework handle partial restoration states when the underlying system client fails mid-execution?
