`description`	Listing summary and social preview description.
`draft`	Set to `true` to exclude the article from local previews and published builds.
`date`	Publication date. Use a quoted `YYYY-MM-DD` value.
`category`	Optional single category, such as `News`, `Guides`, or `Ideas`.
`authors`	Optional ordered list of authors with `name` and optional `image`. Omit it or use `[]` to show no authors.
`image`	Cover displayed on the article page.
`imageAlt`	Accessible description of the article cover.
`ogImage`	Social preview and listing thumbnail. Falls back to `image`, then the site’s `seo.ogImage`.
