 - **NEVER** edit `.contentrain/context.json` — MCP writes, agents read
 - **NEVER** include system fields in content data: `id`, `status`, `source`, `updated_by`, `updated_at`, `createdAt`, `updatedAt`
 - **ALWAYS** use MCP tools — do not write `.contentrain/` JSON files directly
+- **Publishing is yours, not MCP's.** `contentrain_content_save` preserves an existing entry's `status`; only a brand-new entry starts at `draft`. To change publish state, call `contentrain_bulk update_status` deliberately — and note that on the CDN a collection entry is delivered only when its status is `published`.
+- **Schema validity is MCP's.** `contentrain_content_save` validates before it writes and **refuses** the save on any error — nothing is committed, so there is no branch to clean up. Fix the values and call it again. Warnings (email/url/colour/phone heuristics, `accept` extension checks) do not block; they come back in the response.
+- **Every model declares its `title_field`.** Required on create, and it must stay correct when you rename or drop a field. It names the field shown as an entry's title and must be a `string`/`text`/`slug`/`email`/`url`/`code`/`markdown`/`richtext` field on that model; dictionaries have no fields, so they use the reserved value `"key"`. Pick what a human reads to tell entries apart — the headline, the name, the question — never the slug, icon or a relation ID. Consumers used to guess this and titled rows `i-lucide-bot`.
+- **A declared constraint is a real constraint.** `model_save` rejects a property declared where it cannot apply (`options` on a non-select, `accept` on a non-media field, `unique` on a singleton) rather than accepting it and doing nothing. The one exception is `maxSize`, which MCP cannot enforce — your media provider does, at ingest, and `model_save` says so.

-| `required` | ALL | Mark field as mandatory. Default: `false`. Omit if `false`. |
-| `unique` | `string`, `email`, `slug`, `integer` | Enforce uniqueness within model. Default: `false`. Omit if `false`. |

-| `min` | string/text: char count; numbers: value; array: element count | Minimum constraint. |
-| `max` | Same as `min` | Maximum constraint. |
-| `pattern` | `string`, `text`, `code` | Regex validation pattern. |
-| `options` | `select` ONLY | Fixed choices: `["draft", "published", "archived"]` |
-| `model` | `relation`, `relations` ONLY | Target model ID. String or string array for polymorphic. |
-| `items` | `array` ONLY | Element type: `"string"` or `{ "type": "object", "fields": {...} }` |
-| `fields` | `object` ONLY | Nested field definitions. |
-| `accept` | `image`, `video`, `file` | Allowed MIME types: `"image/png,image/jpeg"` |

-| `description` | ALL | Human-readable hint (shown in Studio UI tooltip, used as agent context). |

+| `type` | ALL | content_save (blocks) | **Required.** One of the 27 types. |
+| `required` | ALL | content_save (blocks) | Mark field as mandatory. Default: `false`. Omit if `false`. |
+| `unique` | Any type, on `collection` and `document` models. **Not `singleton`** — it holds one record per locale, so there is nothing to be unique against. | content_save (blocks) | Enforce uniqueness within the model, per locale. Default: `false`. Omit if `false`. |
+| `default` | ALL | model_save (coherence only) | Default value. Checked against its own `type` and `options`; **not** written into content — the agent supplies values. Omit if `null`. |
+| `min` | string/text: char count; numbers: value; array: element count | content_save (blocks) | Minimum constraint. Must not exceed `max`. |
+| `max` | Same as `min` | content_save (blocks) | Maximum constraint. On a media field this limits the **path string length**, not the file — use `maxSize` for bytes (model_save warns). |
+| `pattern` | Any string-shaped type | content_save (blocks) | Regex validation pattern. Compiled at model_save, so a broken regex is rejected rather than silently disabling the rule. |
+| `options` | `select` ONLY | content_save (blocks) | Fixed choices: `["draft", "published", "archived"]` |
+| `model` | `relation`, `relations` ONLY | content_save (blocks) | Target model ID. String or string array for polymorphic. |
+| `items` | `array` ONLY | content_save (blocks) | Element type: `"string"`, or a full FieldDef — `{ "type": "string", "max": 50 }`. Items are validated by the same rules as a scalar of that type. |
+| `fields` | `object` ONLY | content_save (blocks) | Nested field definitions. Validated recursively, at model_save and at content_save. |
+| `accept` | `image`, `video`, `file` | content_save (**warns**) | Allowed MIME types: `"image/png,image/jpeg"`, `"image/*"`, `".pdf"`. MCP checks the value's **file extension** — an approximation, since it holds a path, not the bytes. Your provider enforces the real MIME type at ingest. |
+| `maxSize` | `image`, `video`, `file` | **Provider, at ingest — not MCP** | Maximum file size in bytes. MCP never sees the file, so it cannot check this; model_save says so. |
+| `description` | ALL | — | Human-readable hint (shown in Studio UI tooltip, used as agent context). |
+| `label` | ALL | — | Editor label: a string, or an object keyed by locale. Absent means the raw field name is shown. |
+| `order` | ALL | — | Display position, ascending. Absent sorts last, alphabetically. Fractional values allowed. |

+#### Choosing `title_field`
+
+Declare it on create AND keep it correct when renaming or removing fields — a
+`title_field` pointing at a field that no longer exists fails validation.
+
+Pick the field a human would read to tell one entry from another: the headline,
+the name, the question. Not the slug, not the icon, not a relation ID — those are
+identifiers, and a list titled `instagram-launch-post` or `i-lucide-bot` tells the
+reader nothing. That is exactly what consumers produced when they had to guess,
+which is why the property exists.
