All notable changes to `content-model-simulator` are documented here.

## [Unreleased]

### Changed
- **README and `example-wp-pull/` README** now explicitly request real-world WordPress WXR exports (especially with ACF, Polylang/WPML, WooCommerce, or custom Gutenberg blocks) for dogfooding `pull-wordpress` against production shapes. Synthetic fixtures only go so far — known edge cases (ACF repeaters / flexible content / post-object refs, real translation grouping, custom post types, WooCommerce taxonomies) are unlikely to surface without real data. Anonymized exports welcome.

- **Existing Contentful space audits** — pulled schemas and entries from production spaces (verified against real spaces with 5,200+ entries and 23 content types) without modifying anything
- **`contentful-migration` script previews** — migration files replayed locally to catch field-design mistakes before running them against a real environment

## Help wanted: real WordPress data (especially with ACF)

`cms-sim pull-wordpress` ships in v0.6.1 with synthetic WXR fixtures and the [`example-wp-pull/`](../example-wp-pull/) walk-through (12 docs, Gutenberg + Classic bodies, 2 attachments, nested categories, a featured-image flow). That covers the common shapes but **misses edge cases that only show up in real production exports**:

- **ACF (Advanced Custom Fields)** — repeaters, flexible content, post-object refs, gallery / image fields, conditional logic
- **Polylang / WPML** with real translation grouping (the synthetic fixture only exercises the per-doc language taxonomy)
- **Custom post types** + ACF combos
- **WooCommerce** product structures (product attributes, variations, custom taxonomies)
- **Gutenberg blocks beyond the basics** — custom blocks, embeds, columns, reusable blocks

If you maintain a WordPress site and can share a WXR export (`wp-admin → Tools → Export → All content`), it would help shake out edge cases before they hit users. An **anonymized export is fine** — replace post bodies with lorem ipsum, scrub user emails / display names — the schema shape and meta keys are what matters.

Drop the file in a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/JoshuaPozos/content-model-simulator/issues/new) with a short note about the plugins / post-types used (ACF? WooCommerce? Polylang?), a gist link, or any file-share. Thanks.

## What this tool does NOT do

- **Does NOT upload, create, or modify anything** in your Contentful space
