Documents schema-based approach for handling missing data in templater and translator modules, including schema enforcement at module boundaries, testing requirements, and documentation standards.

Another thought for consideration. In the schemas, should we either allow additional columns which aren't required or optional, but get dropped at enforcement time? I'm thinking of columns like "status" in the ecaa_generators table. It seems strange to make the status column required or even create it and fill it with NaNs if not included. But we could either specify a set of metadata columns that are allowed but dropped (silently) on schema enforcement or just drop (silently) all columns which aren't either required or optional. |

A write-up of the proposed data validation practices we discussed at the 2026 planning workshop.
My notes on this session were a little light, so I mostly went off memory, and have added extra details where I thought they were warranted. As always please treat as draft and let me know what you think, or if you want to add details from your notes.
