 ## NESTED ELEMENTS
 Some elements have internal tree structures (nesting). When using these elements, you MUST build the FULL tree in XML.
 - Check \`llm_guidance.nesting\` in widget schemas for structure requirements
+- \`llm_guidance.required_direct_children\` lists element types that must appear as direct child tags in XML (from widget defaults)
 - \`allowed_child_types\` lists which element types can be nested inside
 - \`allowed_parents\` lists which element types this element can be placed inside
