+## Validation philosophy
+
+`prisma-guard` is intentionally not a strict scalar-validation framework by default.
+
+The default runtime behavior focuses on:
+
+* enforcing the allowed query and data shape
+* rejecting unknown fields and unsupported operations
+* coercing common input values into Prisma-compatible types where reasonable
+* preventing dangerous ambiguity, destructive unconstrained operations, and silent shape misconfiguration
+
+This means prisma-guard defaults are practical and frontend-friendly. Inputs often arrive from forms, query strings, JSON bodies, and frontend state where values may need light coercion before reaching Prisma.
+
+Strict business validation is opt-in. Use one of these when exact scalar rules matter:
+
+* `@zod` directives in the Prisma schema
+* inline refine functions in `data`, `create`, or `update` shapes
+* `guard.input({ refine })`
+* application-level validation before calling guarded Prisma methods
+
+```prisma
+model User {
+  id    String @id @default(cuid())
+  /// @zod .email().max(255)
+  email String
+}
+```
+
+```ts
+await prisma.user
+  .guard({
+    data: {
+      age: (base) => base.int().min(18).max(120),
+    },
+  })
+  .create({ data: req.body })
+```
+
+### Scalar coercion defaults
+
+Default scalar validation is intentionally permissive where that is useful and Prisma-compatible.
+
+Examples:
+
+* `Int` accepts practical numeric input and coerces to an integer value.
+* `Float` accepts JavaScript numeric input.
+* `DateTime` accepts values that can be parsed into a JavaScript `Date`.
+* `Decimal` accepts JavaScript `number`, decimal string, and Decimal-like objects unless [strict Decimal mode](#strict-decimal-mode) is enabled.
+
+For stricter behavior, add `@zod` rules or a refine function. The guard should stay easy to use by default; exact business rules belong in explicit validation.
+
+This leniency does not apply to boundary safety. prisma-guard should still reject unknown fields, invalid shape keys, unsafe projection behavior, unconstrained destructive nested writes, and shape configs that look restrictive but would otherwise be silently ignored.

+### Typed shape generation depth
+
+`typedGuardShapes` controls whether the generator emits `shapes.ts` helper types.
+
+When `typedGuardShapes = "false"`, prisma-guard does not emit `shapes.ts`. If an older generated `shapes.ts` exists in the output directory, it is removed on the next generation.
+
+`typedGuardRelationDepth` controls how deeply generated TypeScript helper types expand relation shapes:
+
+| Value | Behavior |
+| ----- | -------- |
+| `"0"` | Do not expand relation shapes in generated helper types |
+| `"1"` | Expand direct relations; default |
+| `"2"` | Expand relations two levels deep |
+| `"3"` | Expand relations three levels deep |
+
+Higher values give richer editor assistance for nested projections and relation filters, but can make generated types heavier. Runtime validation is not limited by this setting.
+
+### Import style
+
+`importStyle` controls imports inside generated `client.ts` and `shapes.ts`.
+
+| Value | Behavior |
+| ----- | -------- |
+| `"auto"` | Read project `tsconfig.json` and nearest `package.json` to choose the import style |
+| `"none"` | Use extensionless imports like `./index` |
+| `"js"` | Use `.js` imports like `./index.js` |
+| `"ts"` | Use `.ts` imports like `./index.ts` |

+
+* `"ts"` when `allowImportingTsExtensions` is `true`
+* `"js"` for `module` or `moduleResolution` values like `Node16`, `Node18`, or `NodeNext`
+* `"none"` for classic CommonJS-style resolution like `node`, `node10`, `classic`, or `bundler`
+* `"js"` when no decisive `tsconfig.json` setting is found but nearest `package.json` has `"type": "module"`
+* `"none"` as final fallback

+### Scope root models are not self-scoped
+
+`@scope-root` marks a model as a context root used to scope child models. It does not add a self-scope rule to that root model's own delegate. If you expose operations on the root model itself, protect those routes with explicit guard shapes, application authorization, or database policies.

 ### Nested writes are not scope-intercepted
 
 Prisma extension hooks operate on top-level operations. Relation write configs in data shapes (see [Relation writes in data shapes](#relation-writes-in-data-shapes)) produce nested write operations that bypass the scope extension entirely. Nested creates do not receive scope FK injection. Nested updates and deletes do not receive tenant where conditions.
 
 For multi-tenant applications using relation writes, enforce tenant boundaries via database constraints (RLS, foreign key constraints, triggers) or application-level validation.
 
+Avoid exposing unconstrained destructive nested writes. For example, a nested `deleteMany: {}` can delete every child record related to the parent and is not tenant-filtered by the scope extension.
+
 ### Nested reads via include are not scope-filtered
 
 The scope extension operates on the top-level operation only. If a query uses `include` or `select` to load a relation that is itself a scoped model, the nested results are not tenant-filtered by the extension. Use forced where conditions in the include/select shape to restrict nested reads. This applies to both read operations and mutation return projections.
