Item descriptions

Inventory assets reference reusable description records. Join them using the identifiers in the generated Inventory schema rather than relying on display names.

Treat descriptions as shared data

Multiple assets can point to the same description. Cache and normalize description records independently when that matches your application model.

Render defensively

Treat optional display metadata as optional. Never infer ownership, tradability, or marketability from a label when the public schema provides an explicit field.

Localized names can change with the requested language and are not stable database keys. Keep the language and retrieval time with cached display metadata, and use the canonical identifier fields for joins.

When a referenced description is absent, preserve the asset and show a bounded fallback rather than dropping ownership data. See the API Reference for optional fields and Caching for refresh policy.
