Placeholder strategy
- Validate all writable endpoints with explicit rules.
- Return consistent error payloads.
- Keep success and failure response formats predictable.
// Placeholder Laravel snippet
$request->validate([
'title' => ['required', 'string', 'max:140'],
'severity' => ['required', 'in:Low,Medium,High,Critical'],
