- Boot-time schema compilation: `cabana.CompileList` and `cabana.CompileForm` read a controller's YAML from the plugin's embedded tree, check that `modelClass` matches the controller's model name, and cache a locale-neutral schema. Each request gets a translated copy (`cabana.ListSchema.Localize`, `cabana.FormSchema.Localize`, `cabana.RelationSchema.Localize`) through [phrasebook](../phrasebook/README.md), with CLDR plural forms for the SPA's messages.
- Generic CRUD with `cabana.CRUDService`: list, show, create, update, delete and bulk delete. Writes run in transactions, and reads and writes are scoped by the controller's `pact.ListExtendQuery` and `pact.FormExtendQuery` hooks. `cabana.ExecuteList` applies search, sort, filters and pagination only on columns declared in the schema, so request parameters never reach SQL directly.
- Mass-assignment protection: writable form fields are bound to model columns at activation (`cabana.BindWritableFields`), and `cabana.ProjectWritableFields` drops unknown keys, case variants, nested objects and protected columns from request bodies. Values are filled and validated through [lagoon](../lagoon/README.md); a value that does not fit its column (a `lagoon.FillTypeError`, such as a fraction for an integer field) is a 422 `validation_failed` on that field, and the form lifecycle hooks declared in `pact` (before and after create, update and delete) run around each write.
- Mass-assignment protection: writable form fields are bound to model columns at activation (`cabana.BindWritableFields`), and `cabana.ProjectWritableFields` drops unknown keys, case variants, nested objects and protected columns from request bodies. Declared `mltext` and `mlmarkdown` locale maps are lifted before that drop: the default locale becomes the host scalar and the other locales are written through a published `cabana.TranslationWriter` inside the same permissioned save transaction. Values are filled and validated through [lagoon](../lagoon/README.md); a value that does not fit its column (a `lagoon.FillTypeError`, such as a fraction for an integer field) is a 422 `validation_failed` on that field, and the form lifecycle hooks declared in `pact` (before and after create, update and delete) run around each write.
- Relations: `type: relation` form fields for belongsTo and belongsToMany (`cabana.FieldRelationProvider`, `cabana.FieldRelationContract`) with a paginated options endpoint and display labels in every record response; relation managers (`cabana.AdminRelationContractProvider`, `cabana.RelationContract`) served by `cabana.RelationService` for listing linked records and candidates, linking and unlinking, and creating related records. A contract is a belongsToMany (`cabana.RelationBelongsToMany`, the kind of a contract that leaves `Kind` empty) with a pivot model, or a hasMany (`cabana.RelationHasMany`) whose `ForeignKey` column on the related model points at the parent. A relation's child form comes from `manage.form` in `config_relation.yaml` (or a top-level `form`, WinterCMS's fallback), its read-only preview from `view.form` (same fallback), and a belongsToMany's pivot columns are edited through `pivot.form` (WinterCMS `pivot[x]` field names compile to `x`; pivot keys, timestamps and hook columns are refused); WinterCMS `$/<vendor>/<plugin>/...` paths resolve inside the same plugin only. A relation form accepts the scalar field types plus `datepicker` and `fileupload`; `relation`, `relation-manager`, `widget` and `partial` fail boot. The view panel's `toolbarButtons` (`create`, `update`, `delete`, `link`, `unlink`) are the capability of their routes. A relation's `messages` block takes the link keys (`link`, `linkHint`, `candidateSearch`, `linked`, `unlinkSelected`, `unlinkConfirm`, `unlinked`, `empty`) and the child and pivot modal keys (`create`, `createTitle`, `updateTitle`, `previewTitle`, `created`, `updated`, `deleteSelected`, `deleteConfirm`, `deleteOneConfirm`, `deleted`, `pivotTitle`, `pivotSaved`, `editPivot`, `createSubmit`, `updateSubmit`, `pivotSubmit`, `linkSubmit`), each defaulting to `backend::lang.messages.relation.*`. Framework code never guesses table, pivot or foreign-key names: the controller supplies them. A belongsTo field over a protected foreign key is read-only unless its contract sets `WritableForeignKey`; the protected key list itself does not change, and the submitted id is still rechecked through the scoped options query. A controller implementing `cabana.RelationLockProvider` returns a `cabana.RelationLock` per field and request: options and labels carry `locked: true` for those ids, and a create or update that adds or removes a locked id is answered 403 `forbidden` before any row is written.
- Form widgets and controller actions: a `type: widget` field in `fields.yaml` names a plugin custom element (`widget:`, which must start with the owning plugin's `{vendor}-{plugin}-` prefix), the controller action it runs (`action:`, registered through `pact.HasAdminActions`) and the writable scalar fields of the same form the action may write back (`fill:`). The admin SPA posts the action to a cabana-owned route, so the CSRF check, permissions (the controller's plus the action's own) and record scoping (`pact.FormExtendQuery`) never depend on plugin code; the response carries only the declared fill keys whose values encode as JSON scalars (a value whose `MarshalJSON` writes an array or object, NaN or an infinity is dropped). Like the list schema's `toolbarActions`, the form schema carries a widget field only when the requesting administrator may run its action. The field's `context` applies to the action route as it does on save: a request without `record_id` is the create form's and one with it the update form's, and a widget its context hides on that form answers 404. Besides `record_id` and `values`, the request may carry `payload`, the widget's own JSON value (at most 64 KiB, a 422 above that; refused on toolbar and record routes), which reaches the action unfiltered as the `Payload` field of `pact.AdminActionInput`; the action may answer with `Data` on `pact.AdminActionResult`, written to the response as `data` exactly as it encodes (any JSON up to 256 KiB encoded, a 500 above that or when it cannot be encoded), not subject to the fill allowlist and omitted when nil. The element asks for its action with a `summer-action` event whose optional `detail.payload` becomes the request `payload`, and receives the answer as a `data` attribute plus a `summer-result` event with `{data, fill, message}`. Unknown keys, a foreign or invalid tag, an unregistered action or a fill key that is not a writable scalar field fail boot.
- Controller assets: a controller implementing `pact.AdminClientAssets` names JS (`.js`, `.mjs`) and CSS files under its plugin's `assets/` directory, Winter's `addJs`/`addCss`. They are read from the plugin's embedded tree at boot (a missing file fails boot; there is no disk override) and listed in the list and form schemas under `assets` as same-origin URLs with a `?v=` content hash. A form with a widget needs at least one JS file.

- Preview screen: a `preview` mapping in `config_form.yaml` (`preview: {}`, or with `headerPartial: <name>` for a status hint) gives the form a read-only record screen in the admin SPA. The form schema reports it as `preview` (`cabana.FormPreview`), fields with `context: preview` are shown only there and are never written by a save, `messages.preview` and `messages.edit` name the screen's subtitle and edit button, and `recordUrl` and the form redirects may point at it as `.../preview/:id`. An empty `preview:` key or an unknown key inside it fails boot.
- Form-only fields: a controller implementing `pact.FormVirtualFields` lists fields of its `fields.yaml` that are not columns of the form. They are exempt from the column binding, never filled into the model and never part of a record response; the values an administrator submits reach the Form hooks through `cabana.VirtualFieldsFromContext`, only for fields whose `context` allows the operation, and a nested value is a 422 on the field. `type: password` is a masked field that must be listed this way, so a password is sent in a save body and never comes back. A controller implementing `pact.FormRules` supplies the validation rules per operation (`create` or `update`), which replace the model's `Rules()` for admin saves; a rule on a virtual field is checked against the submitted value, never against a model column of the same name. Neither is available on settings forms or relation forms.
- Permission editor: a `type: permissioneditor` field with `mode: radio` (allow `1`, inherit, deny `-1`) or `mode: checkbox` (allow `1`) edits a record's permission set as a JSON object of code to integer. The controller implements `cabana.PermissionEditorProvider`: it returns the offered `cabana.PermissionOption` list per request (served on the field as `permissionOptions`, with `locked` for permissions the administrator may not change) and reads and stores the record's values, so the storage shape is the plugin's. A save answers 422 on the field for a value that is not an object of integers, a code that is not offered or a value outside the mode's set, and 403 `forbidden` when a locked code's value changes; stored codes that are not offered are kept. The widget fill contract is unchanged: a widget still writes scalar fields only.
- Markdown and multilingual fields: `type: markdown` edits source on a host text column; `cabana.RenderMarkdown` turns that source into HTML with the pinned goldmark engine and no unsafe HTML, and leftover script or iframe tags, event handlers, or javascript, vbscript or data URLs are rejected. `type: mltext` and `type: mlmarkdown` take a JSON object of locale code to string. The default locale fills the host column; other locales reach a plugin-published `cabana.TranslationWriter` after the host row has a primary key, still inside the controller's permissioned save transaction. There is no standalone translate-write route. An unknown field type, including an unknown `ml*` type, fails boot.
- Preset fields: `preset` on a `type: text` field (a source field name, or a mapping with `field` and `type`, `slug` or `exact`) makes the field follow another text field of the same form on the create screen until the administrator edits it. The schema reports it as `preset` (`cabana.FieldPreset`); the server does not fill the field.
- Server-rendered partials: `headerPartial: <name>` in `config_list.yaml` (a strip above the list) and `type: partial` with `path: <name>` in `fields.yaml` render the template `{ConfigDir}/_<name>.htm` with `html/template` against a view model from the controller's `pact.AdminPartialData`. The result reaches the SPA as an allowlisted node tree, never as an HTML string. A missing or unparsable template, a free-form path or a controller without `pact.AdminPartialData` fails boot.
- Date pickers: a `type: datepicker` field in `fields.yaml` edits a date (`mode: date`, a `lagoon.Date` column), a date and time (`mode: datetime`, the default, a `time.Time` column stored in UTC) or a time of day (`mode: time`, a `lagoon.TimeOfDay` column); pointers to the three types make the value optional. It accepts WinterCMS's `mode`, `format` (a PHP `date()` format, served also as `displayFormat` in the SPA's tokens), `minDate`, `maxDate`, `yearRange`, `firstDay`, `twelveHour` and `ignoreTimezone`; any other key, a format letter with no equivalent, bounds on `mode: time`, `ignoreTimezone` outside `mode: datetime` or a column whose Go type does not match the mode fails boot. The save rechecks `minDate` and `maxDate` on the calendar date and answers 422 on the field. List columns take `type: date` and `type: time` for these columns; when `type` is omitted, a `time.Time` column is compiled as `datetime`, a `lagoon.Date` column as `date` and a `lagoon.TimeOfDay` column as `time`. A struct column that implements `sql.Scanner` or `driver.Valuer` is never taken for a relation.
