  label: string;              // instance noun - "Edition", "Ticket", "Bracket"

Config

config is a domain-specific JSON blob, not a fixed schema. Its keys vary by type:

All types carry defaultContributions - the protocol-routed contribution roles derived at creation (for example TEMPLATE_ARTIST + CREATOR).
Writing forms (haiku, tanka, sonnet, basic-page, openletter) add form-shape keys read by the composer: contentShape ("lines" or "freeform"), plus lines / syllables / charLimits / lineLabels for line-based forms, maxCharacters for freeform, and requiresRecipient for openletter.

Content shapes

A PAGE product's content is a JSON object whose fields follow its product type:

Slug	`content` fields
`haiku`	`line1`, `line2`, `line3` (up to 50 characters each)
`tanka`	`line1` to `line5` (up to 50, 50, 50, 80 and 80 characters)
`sonnet`	`line1` to `line14` (up to 80 characters each)
`basic-page`	`content` (up to 1500 characters before escaping)
`openletter`	`content` (up to 1000 characters before escaping) and `recipient`, the salutation (up to 120 characters; blank reads as a generic salutation)

Text that reaches the contract must be ASCII. Products outside the PAGE domain carry no free-form content: their shape is the domain's own create input (CreateEventInput, CreateBracketDraftRequest, CreateGameLobbyDraftRequest), and a bracket's bracketSize is 8, 16, 32, 64 or 68.

Stability guarantee

Product type slugs are stable identifiers. Once seeded, a slug will not be renamed or deleted.

const types = await rtClient.productTypes.list();

Cross-domain enforcement

Product types are domain-scoped. Attempting to use a PAGE product type when creating an EVENT product is rejected with code INVALID_PRODUCT_TYPE_FOR_DOMAIN.
