config/name-required

  • Category: correctness
  • Default severity: error

Issue

The runtime uses the container name for global state and module lookup. Official plugins also reject a missing name at startup, so MFDoctor keeps this for offline checks rather than a showcase fixture.

How to fix it

Set name to a stable, federation-wide unique id such as "host" or "shop".

Suppress or retarget with rules["config/name-required"] set to "off" or a severity — see Suppressions and allowlists.
