+### Named type (HeadingSize, ButtonVariant, etc.) — do NOT infer the values

+When a prop has a named TypeScript type that is not inlined as a union literal,
+the value set is whatever that type's declaration says. A type *name* is not
+evidence of its members: `HeadingSize` could be `h1`–`h6`, `sm|md|lg`, or
+`s|m|l|xl`. Guessing picks one design system's vocabulary and is wrong more
+often than it is right, and a wrong name matches no style rule — the author's
+setting silently does nothing.
+
+So: look for the declaration in the source shown. If it is there, copy it. If it
+is not, **emit `string`** — `string` is an unrestricted enum, so the author stays
+unrestricted but correct.

+16. Every `enum`'s `values` array is copied from evidence in the material shown — a type declaration, an `allowedValues` list on the raw prop, a variant or lookup map, a default, in the component's own file or in any sibling excerpt — and none of it was invented. Where the value set appears nowhere, the prop is `cdf_type: "string"`, with the reason recorded in `reason`. Do not drop a prop merely because you could not enumerate its values.
+17. No prop has `required: true` alongside a default value (`$default`, a destructure default, or a `defaultVariants` entry) — the two are incoherent. A prop declared `foo?:`, or reached through `VariantProps<typeof x>` or a Radix/`ComponentPropsWithoutRef` base without its own required redeclaration, is `required: false`.

 If you are genuinely uncertain about every prop, classify each as:
