application/json
Minimum string length:
1Short blurb shown under the topic name. Omitting it CLEARS the stored description.
Lucide icon name in kebab-case (e.g. 'folder', 'credit-card' — see lucide.dev/icons). null clears the icon; omitted leaves it untouched.
The language whose name and description are written. Omitted = the primary language, which the other languages are re-translated from; another language edits that translation only.
