Manifest envelope

Every YAML document has apiVersion: cms.mantle.aotter.net/v2, kind, metadata.name and spec. Kinds are Schema, View, Procedure and Trigger. Pass explicit file paths to mantle generate; a file may contain several documents separated by ---.

The grammar is closed. Unknown keys and invalid declarations fail generation. Names are unique per kind; Schema and field names cannot differ only by case. Quote non-identifier Schema names in SQL. input and auth are reserved.

Titles and descriptions accept a string or locale map, such as { en: Products, zh-TW: 商品 }. Selected UI/MCP chooses the configured locale with fallback.

Author SQL in PostgreSQL syntax. Generation renders it for postgres or sqlite, including bound inputs and compiled row policy. SQL native columns use id, version, created_at, updated_at, author_id, plus status / published_at for publishing. Store uses storage names too. Manifest index declarations use authored field/native names (createdAt), which compile to storage names.

Use input.<name>, auth.uid(), now() and supported mantle.* functions. Only declared relations and allowed SQL constructs may be referenced. See Schema, View, Procedure, Trigger and CLI.
