Notes

• New projects should target preview-data version: "0.7" and theme runtime: "0.7".
• preview-data v0.7 uses snake_case site keys such as media_origin, media_delivery_mode, posts_per_page, date_style, and time_style. Optional search, feed, and archive controls use closed { "enabled": boolean } objects, and the global indexing policy is site.robots: { "allow_indexing": boolean }. Optional site.comments requires enabled plus a provider API base; Post/Page ZeroPress request tokens live in the content item’s comments object. Page front-page and collection references use the effective route path rather than the leaf slug.
• theme runtime v0.7 uses snake_case manifest keys such as menu_slots, widget_areas, site_meta, collection_slots, and features.post_index.
• site.footer.attribution is a boolean in Preview Data v0.7. ZeroPress does not add a copyright symbol automatically.
• Machine-readable JSON Schema files live at schemas.zeropress.dev.
