Usage principles

• Run doctor after generation or a significant nuxt.config.ts change.
• Use --dry when available to inspect a patch before writing files.
• Use --force only when replacing an existing artifact is intentional.
• For business services, prefer add service or add custom-service over manually creating folders.
• The schema --add-field field format is name:type! for a required field, for example title:string!.
