# `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](https://mfdoctor.kevinbeier.com/suppressions.md).
