 - **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 (`entry_ids` for collections, `slugs` for documents, neither for singletons/dictionaries) — and note that on the CDN an entry is delivered only when its status is `published`. `publish_at`/`expire_at` on `content_save` never change status: they gate delivery of a published entry, live in meta only, and `null` clears them.
 - **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.

 - **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.

Omit it and the model covers every supported locale, which is what validation checks parity against. Declare it only when the content genuinely exists in a subset — a partially-translated site. A locale outside `locales.supported` is rejected.
 - `content_path`: optional framework-relative path (e.g., `"content/blog"`, `"locales"`). When set, content is written here instead of `.contentrain/content/`.
 - `locale_strategy`: how locale is encoded in filenames: `"file"` (default), `"suffix"`, `"directory"`, `"none"`.

 Media references are stored in one of two models. Identify which one the project uses before populating image, video, or file fields. The asset rules below (dimensions, formats, size limits, naming) apply to **both**; only the **Asset Organization** section (paths under `assets_path`, relative references) is specific to the local-file model.
 
-1. **Local file model (default / OSS).** Media lives on disk under `config.json > assets_path` (default `.contentrain/assets/`) and is referenced by a **relative path from the project root** (e.g. `.contentrain/assets/blog/hero.webp`). To turn relative paths into URLs at read time, set `config.json > cdn.url` (or `contentrain generate --cdnBaseUrl <base>`) and use the `media()` resolver baked into the `@contentrain/query` generated client — `media('media/...') → {cdn.url}/{path}`.

To turn relative paths into URLs at read time, set `config.json > cdn.url` (or `contentrain generate --mediaBaseUrl <base>`) and use the `media()`/`mediaBody()` resolvers baked into the `@contentrain/query` generated client — `media('media/...') → {mediaBaseUrl}/{path}`, `mediaBody(markdown)` for `](media/...)` references inside markdown. The Astro loader (`contentrainLoader({ mediaBaseUrl })`) applies the same resolver automatically to media fields and markdown bodies.
 
 2. **Studio CDN model.** Media lives in the Studio CDN/object store and is referenced by a relative storage path (`media/...`) returned by the media library. Pass either that `media/...` path or its URL to `contentrain_content_save`: in **cloud mode** the value is **automatically normalized to an absolute public delivery URL** on save (`{base}/{path}`), in both media fields and markdown bodies, so the committed content renders in a browser anywhere with no SDK. In **local mode** the relative path is kept verbatim. The rewrite is idempotent and never touches external URLs (`http(s)://`, `//`, `data:`) or already-absolute delivery URLs — so for external images (a CDN or Unsplash URL), just save the URL directly.

 #### 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.
 
+A singleton built from section objects (`hero`, `services`, …) has no top-level
+text field. Title it by a section's heading with a dotted path: `"hero.heading"`.
+The path reaches one level into an `object` field — never deeper, never into an
+array. Do not add a copied top-level `title` for this: it is a field no page prints.
+
 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
