Required vs optional

At minimum, title and a usable question set are needed for meaningful registrations. Capacity is optional, but waitlist automation depends on capacity limits.

Capacity behavior

When confirmedCount reaches capacity, new registrations are assigned waitlist status.

Current repository billing is focused on report-download purchases, not per-event ticket marketplace billing tiers.

Event slug and sharing

Share your slug URL directly with attendees. This is the main acquisition channel for registrations.

Draft vs published behavior

Operationally, organisers can stage event setup in dashboard workflows, then share only when ready. Route-level availability and status controls determine whether registration is open.
