Schema array constraint topic

JSON Schema not / contains array constraint debugging tools

A local workflow for not rules, contains array constraints, production test-mode blocking, role arrays, and pre-release API Schema checks.

Direct answer

When a Schema must forbid a field combination or require at least one array item to match a condition, express it with not and contains, then validate a short sample locally. Use not to block risky combinations such as production plus testMode=true, and contains to require an active admin role or a billing feature entry.
