Good to see that you are trying to solve this :)
I would still have gone with rolling my own validation, just by extending
the validator, so it can validate a record also, not only fields.
Anyway, I am not moving to CakePHP 3.x, so will not be able to give further
ideas on that, but I do hope you find a solution in the end.
Enjoy, John
